Abstract: A multi-axis hinge includes a first shaft, a first rotary member pivotally connected to the first shaft, a second shaft fixed to the first rotary member, a second rotary member pivotally connected to the second shaft, a first switching pin movably configured at the first rotary member, and a switching member fixed to the first shaft. The switching member includes a switching recess. When the first switching pin is located at the switching recess of the switching member, the second rotary member is rotatable relatively to the first rotary member. The second rotary member includes a switching recess. When the first switching pin is located at the switching recess of the second rotary member, the second rotary member is fixed to the first rotary member. An electronic device with the multi-axis hinge is also disclosed therein.

Abstract: A hinge assembly adapted to an electronic device is provided. The hinge assembly comprises a fixing member, a sliding shaft, a connecting member, a rotating shaft and a rotating member. A curved guide rail is formed at the side plate. When the sliding shaft is located at a first position and a force applies on the rotating member, the sliding shaft moves from the first position to a second position along the curved guide rail, when the sliding shaft is located at the second position of the curved guide rail and the force applies on the rotating member continuously, the rotating member rotates around the rotating shaft.

Abstract: A hinge component for an electronic device includes a fixing member, a rotating member and a central shaft. The fixing member includes a side plate and two fixing plates, a curved guiding rail is formed on the side plate. The rotating member includes a rotating portion, a connecting portion and an engaging portion. The fixing member and the rotating member are assembled to the casing and the back plate of the electronic device. The fixing member is disposed inside the casing but not exposed. As a result, the electronic device is made thinner. The hinge component is not easily damaged under an external force, and the lifecycle of the hinge component is improved. The rotating portion rotates around the connection of the back plate and the casing as a virtual rotating axis. At the same time, the central shaft is driven to slide in the curved guiding rail.
