Abstract:
A hinged panel (110) coupled to a body member (120), for example in a wireless communications device, including a torsion spring (150) coupled to the body member and to the panel, a cam (127) coupled to the body member, a follower (134) coupled to the panel. A decreasing counter-torque is applied to the panel by the spring biased cam and follower assembly when the torsion spring torque is above a specified level, and an increasing assisting-torque is applied to the panel by the spring biased cam and follower assembly when the torsion spring torque is below a specified level.
Abstract:
An electronic device cabinet and an electronic device wherein the rotation of the cover upon opening can be slowed with a simple hinge mechanism. A rotating member provided with a protruding piece is provided on said cover. Said rotating member comes into sliding contact with contact parts provided on an upper case main body and slides together with the rotation of cover. The rotation of cover is slowed by having protruding piece come into contact with contact parts, and the rotation of cover is stopped by said protruding piece engaging a receiving member disposed between said contact parts.
Abstract:
A door hinge unit for smoothly opening and closing a door using the fluid resistance force of a fluid comprises: a cylindrical oil container containing a viscous fluid therein and having a fluid transfer groove formed along a circumferential direction at an inner wall of the container; a hinge shaft rotatably supported within the oil container with the same core axis as the oil container and whose at least one end is protruded along an axial direction of the oil container, the hinge shaft having a blade formed at an outer circumferential surface thereof and which is slidingly in contact with the inner wall of the oil container; a barrier formed crossing the inner wall of the oil container and an outer circumference of the hinge shaft and having a penetration fluid passage formed along the circumferential direction; and a restoring spring whose one end is coupled to the oil container and the other end is coupled to the hinge shaft.
Abstract:
A lid lifting mechanism (24) for heavy vessel lids (14) provides for optimum mechanical advantage in counterbalancing the weight of the lid when pivoting the lid to an open position. The mechanism has a pivot arm (26) secured to the lid and a pivot mount (28) intermediate the length of the pivot arm where the pivot mount is secured to the vessel container (12). The pivot arm extends beyond the pivot mount (28) to provide a distal end (30). A pretensioned retracting device (32) is connected to the distal end by a connector (34) which can be selectively moved along the arm to increase or decrease the moment arm length. Such movement of the connector or the pretensioned device adjusts the extent of retracting device assist in pivoting the lid to a lid open position. This system provides for maximum mechanical advantage while adjusting for build up of material on the inside of the lid.
Abstract:
A hinge type automatic door closer has a cylindrical housing mounted on a door via a door mounting plate, a hinge shaft (3) mounted on a door frame via door-frame mounting plate (6). The hinge shaft (3) is inserted within the cylindrical housing. The door closer has a piston (11) engaged around the hinge shaft (3) movable vertically locked to the housing in its rotational movement. When the housing rotates, the piston (11) is moved up and down depending upon a rotational direction of the housing.
Abstract:
A hinge (10) adapted to pivotably connect a hinged member (12) to a device housing (14) is provided. The hinge is adapted to maintain the hinged member in one of an open position and a closed position relative to the device housing. The hinge includes a first, hinge part (20) having an axis (22) and a cam follower (24). The first hinge part is adapted to be connected to one of the hinged members and the device housing. A second hinge part (30) is provided which is aligned with and rotatable about the axis of the first hinge part. The second hinge part has a cam surface (32). The cam follower on the first hinge part contacts the cam surface. The cam surface has a first position and a second position. The second hinge part is adapted to be connected to the other of the hinged member and the device housing. A spring (40) is provided which urges the cam follower against the cam surface with a spring force. The first and second hinge parts each have an axial bore defined therethrough. An axial load bearing connector (60) extends through the axial bores to connect first and second hinge parts such that forces generated by the spring are reacted in the axial load bearing connector.
Abstract:
A barrier for a roadway has an upright (1), a barrier arm (9) fitted on a horizontal drive spindle (2), a pivoting mechanism and a balancing spring (8) supporting the opening and closing movements of the barrier arm (9). The balancing spring (8) has an untensioned zero position (0) between the blocking position (S) and the open position (F) of the barrier arm (9).
Abstract:
A flap (1) comprising a structure (2) and a door (3) hinged to the structure (2) by means of a hinge (4), wherein the hinge (4) defines a hinge axis (5) around which the door (3) is rotationally movable with respect to the structure (2), wherein the door (3) is movable from a vertical closing position to a horizontal opening position under the action of the force of gravity, wherein the flap (1) further comprises damping means (6) configured to dampen the rotation motion of the door (3) with respect to the structure (2), wherein the hinge (4) defines a housing compartment (7) therein, closed or partially closed in the direction transverse to the hinge axis (5), and wherein the damping means (6) are housed inside the housing compartment (7).
