    Abstract: A hinged mobile computing device includes a first housing part with a first display and a second housing part with a second display. The first and second housing parts are coupled by a hinge assembly that includes a spring-loaded opening mechanism configured to bias with a biasing torque the first housing part and second housing part to rotate away from each other when the first and second displays are in a closed face-to-face orientation. An electro-magnetic closure system is configured to retain the first and second displays in the closed face-to-face orientation against the biasing torque of the spring-loaded opening mechanism, and release of the electro-magnetic closure system permits the first housing part to rotationally separate from the second housing part to a predetermined angular orientation due to the biasing force of the spring-loaded opening mechanism.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a positioning mechanism for holding a lid element of a vehicle in an intermediate position between a fully open position and a fully closed position. The positioning mechanism comprises a base component, a first friction block carrying a first friction surface, a counter surface, and an engagement element. The first friction block is supported on the base component via two pivotable first lever arms such that the two first lever arms, the friction block, and a portion of the base component form a first parallelogram. The counter surface faces the first friction surface and is arranged in parallel to the first friction surface such that the first friction surface and the counter surface define a movement channel extending along a movement channel direction. The engagement element is receivable in the movement channel and the first lever arms are inclined with respect to a movement channel direction.

    Abstract: Examples are disclosed relating to friction hinges. In one example, a friction hinge comprises a first stub and adjacent second stub extending from a stub substrate. A first finger extends from a finger substrate between the first stub and the second stub and comprises a distal contacting face that is biased into contact with a first biasing face of the first stub. A second finger adjacent to the first finger extends from the finger substrate between the first stub and the second stub and comprises a distal contacting face that is biased into contact with a second biasing face of the second stub. A pin extends through apertures in the first stub, first finger, second finger, and second stub.

    Abstract: A dishwasher is provided. The dishwasher has an inner container, a door body, a door lock mechanism, an ejection mechanism and an auxiliary door opening mechanism. The an inner container has a washing chamber and an opening in communication with the washing chamber. The door body is rotatably connected to the inner container by a hinge for opening or closing the opening. The door lock mechanism locks the door body to the inner container. The ejection mechanism is disposed in the inner container for exerting an acting force to the door body to cause the door body to be unlocked from the inner container. The auxiliary door opening mechanism is provided on the inner container for exerting the acting force to the hinge, to cause the door body to exhibit a tendency to rotate and open relative to the inner container.

    Abstract: A thinned hinge includes a rotating part and a torsion supply part. The rotating part includes a base and two movable members arranged on the base, the base includes two tracks for the movable members to displace along arc-shaped trajectories to generate opening and closing actions, and ends of the two movable members where extend outward from the two tracks are provided with driving members. The torsion supply part supplies torsion required by the rotating part, the torsion supply part includes a support, two rotating shafts arranged in parallel on the support, and an idle gear arranged between the two rotating shafts, the two rotating shafts are provided with connecting pieces assembled with the driving members to enable the torsion supply part and the rotating part to simultaneously act and gears engaged with the idle gear, and the gears and the idle gear are crossed helical gear structures.
