Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a mounting seat and a linkage unit in the mounting seat. A connection member is connected between first and second movable portions of the linkage unit by a linkage spindle. The linkage unit is able to rotate by a resilient unit to a spring-out state from a folded state. When the linkage unit reaches the spring-out state, further rotation of the linkage unit is stopped by a limiting unit. A torque spindle provides torsional resistance only when the linkage unit is rotated further from the spring-out state.

Abstract: A hinge assembly includes first and second linkage rods pivoted to a base seat, a cam connected to the first and second linkage rods, and a kickstand support pivoted to the cam. A latch is disposed in the cam. When the first and second linkage rods, the kickstand support, and the cam are received inside the base seat, the latch is in a first locking position, where the latch locks rotational movement of the kickstand support relative to the cam. When the second linkage rod moves outward of the base seat and brings the first linkage rod to rotate relative to the cam, the latch is pushed by the kickstand support to move into a second locking position, where the first linkage rod is limited from rotating relative to the cam.

Abstract: A bendable display apparatus includes a carrying plate, two supporting devices disposed on an inner side of the carrying plate, and a bendable display mounted on an outer side of the carrying plate. Each supporting device includes a hinge module and two buffering modules respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the hinge module. Each buffering module includes an internal connecting member fixed on the hinge module, an external connecting member fixed on the carrying plate and slidably disposed on the internal connecting member, a driving member driven by a spiral track of the hinge module, and a transmitting member driven by the driving member for moving the external connecting member. When the hinge modules are bent, each supporting device is a curved structure and arranged inside of the bendable display, and each external connecting member slides relative to the corresponding internal connecting member toward the hinge module.

Abstract: A supporting device includes a hinge module and two buffering modules respectively installed on two opposite sides of the hinge module. Each buffering module includes an external linking member fixed on the hinge module, an internal linking member movably disposed on the external linking member, a driving member installed on the hinge module and movably disposed on the external linking member, and a transmitting member installed on the external linking member and driven by the driving member to move the internal linking member. The hinge module is bendable between an unfolded position and an inwardly folded position. When the hinge module is bent from the unfolded position toward the inwardly folded position, the driving member of each buffering module moves the corresponding internal linking member away from the pivots by using the transmitting member.

Abstract: A bendable display apparatus includes two supporting devices, a carrying plate, and a soft display mounted on the carrying plate. Each supporting device includes a hinge module and two buffering modules respectively installed on two opposite sides of the hinge module. Each buffering module includes an external linking member fixed on the hinge module, an internal linking member fixed on the carrying plate and being movable with respect to the external linking member, and a gear driven by the hinge module to move the internal linking member. Each hinge module is bendable between an unfolded position and an inwardly folded position. When the hinge module is bent from the unfolded position toward the inwardly folded position, the gear is driven by the hinge module to move the corresponding internal linking member away from the pivots.

Abstract: A dual-shaft driving module includes two shafts and a synchronizing block sandwiched between the two shafts. The two shafts are substantially parallel to each other and are substantially in a mirror symmetrical arrangement. Each shaft has two spiral grooves recessed on an outer surface thereof, and each spiral groove has a spiral angle within a range of 40 degrees to 60 degrees. The synchronizing block includes two concave surfaces arranged on two opposite sides thereof and four driving portions respectively protruding from the two concave surfaces. The two concave surfaces respectively face the two shafts, and each concave surface accommodates a part of the corresponding shaft. The four driving portions are respectively inserted into the four spiral grooves. When one of the two shafts is spun to transmit a force to the synchronizing block, the synchronizing block rotates the other shaft at the same time by the force.

Abstract: A supporting device includes a modular joint assembly, two fixing members respectively installed on two opposite ends of the modular joint assembly, and a resilient sheet fixed on the outer surface of the modular joint assembly and the fixing members. The modular joint assembly includes a plurality of joints buckled in sequence. Each joint has an arced track groove recessed on a side surface thereof and a buckling portion extended from an opposite side surface thereof. An imaginary datum line is defined by connecting a center of circle of each track groove and is located at one side of the resilient sheet away from the modular joint assembly. When any two buckled joints are rotated with respect to each other, the resilient sheet is compressed and a length of the imaginary datum line is unchanged.

Abstract: A clamshell-type electronic device includes a dual-axis hinge module, a first electronic module, and a second electronic module, the latter two of which are electrically connected to each other. The dual-axis hinge module includes a fixing shaft, a moving shaft parallel to and engaged with the fixing shaft, a moving frame fastened to the fixing shaft and the moving shaft, a torsion structure fixed on the moving shaft, and a fixing frame. No torsion structure is disposed on the fixing shaft. The moving frame is fixed on the first electronic module. The fixing frame has a connecting portion fixed on the fixing shaft and a mounting portion fixed on the second electronic module. The moving shaft can be rotated along the fixing shaft and can be synchronously spun, so that a distance between the moving shaft and the mounting portion can be changed.

Abstract: A supporting device includes a hinge module and two buffering modules respectively installed on two opposite sides of the hinge module. Each buffering module includes an internal linking member fixed on the hinge module, an external linking member slidably disposed on the internal linking member, and an elastic member connected to the internal linking member and the external linking member. The hinge module is bendable between an unfolded position and an outwardly folded position. When the hinge module is at the unfolded position, the supporting device is a flat construction, and the elastic members are configured to block the external linking members to move away from the pivots. When the hinge module is at the outwardly folded position, the supporting device is a curved construction and the internal linking members are arranged at the inner side of the curved construction.
