Abstract:
A vehicle body decklid hinge includes at least one hinge set carried by a bracket that retains a pivot pin and a retainer bar in a cantilevered manner. The pivot pin supports a lever, such as a gooseneck strap, that will be coupled to the hood, while the bracket includes a mount that will be carried by peripheral body structure around the decklid opening. The retainer bar carries a helically wound spring that secures one end of the spring for resistance to rotation about the axis of the bar. The other end of the spring engages an adjuster that variably urges the lever to pivot toward the open position. The method and apparatus reduce specificity of components and improve adaptably to various models and styles by reducing adjustments to tension variability in adjusting the biasing force applied to the decklid strap.

The damping device (30) has a damper housing which is provided on the door leaf mounting part (24) and which is provided in the cavity thereof with a fluid or gaseous damping medium and a resistance element which is movable relative to the damping medium and is coupled to an actuating element (39) which extends out of the housing. At least during part of the pivoting movement of the mounting parts (18, 24) relative to one another the actuating element is in engaged connection directly or indirectly with the supporting wall mounting part (18) and transmits to the resistance element the relative movement of the mounting parts as they pivot. The damper housing (32) is a separate component which is provided with laterally projecting fixing flanges (38, 46) which can be fixed on the fixing flanges of the door leaf mounting part (24).
Abstract:
A device for automatically lifting a cover of a mobile phone by pressing is to control the lifting/closing operation of an upper cover relative to a main body of a mobile phone. A housing member is connected between the main body and the upper cover. The device for lifting the cover comprises a pressing-and-controlling means provided within the housing member, a braking means accommodated within the pressing-and-controlling means and movably connected to the pressing-and-controlling means, a rotating means operatively connected to the pressing-and-controlling means and the braking means, and a reciprocating means operatively connected to the other end of the rotating means. With the above arrangement, a user can operate the pressing-and-controlling means with single hand to drivingly connect to the braking means and cause the rotating means to rotate and slide, thereby to automatically lift the upper cover of the mobile phone after being pressed. Alternatively, the user can operate the reciprocating means and the rotating means to cause them to rotate and slide so as to manually open/close the upper cover. Therefore, it is convenient for the user to answer a call.
Abstract:
A door closing hinge device includes two flaps for attaching to a door frame and a door panel, a seat and a housing attached to the flaps. A follower is slidably disposed in the housing, and includes an inclined surface for engaging with an inclined surface of the seat, and for moving the follower up and down relative to the housing when the follower and the housing are rotated relative to the seat. A guiding device may guide the follower to move up and down relative to the housing, and a forcing device may force the follower and the door panel to rotate relative to the door frame back to an original position where the inclined surfaces of the seat and the follower are engaged with each other.
