MECHANICAL ARTICULATION SYSTEM WITH ELECTRICAL AND/OR THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY VIA INVISIBLE, ADJUSTABLE BALL-AND-SOCKET JOINT
20210364125 · 2021-11-25 ·

Mechanical joint system with electrical and/or thermal conduction capability by means of an invisible adjustable hinge that connects and allows rotation of one body respects another one, i.e. a male body and a female body, by the integration of a rigid J-shaped joining part which enters perpendicularly through an access opening on the female face at any rotation position, and whose external end is fixed to the male body. The female body is internally equipped with a brake system that couples, guides and fixes the curved end of the J-shaped joining part and blocks its rotation movement. The J-shaped joining part integrates an electrical and/or thermal conductor that makes this invention of great interest for electronic devices with adjustable orientation, including LED lighting ones.

Hinged device

The description relates to hinged devices, such as hinged computing devices. One example can include first and second device portions and a hinge assembly that includes spaced-apart parallel first and second hinge shafts. The first portion rotatably secured relative to the first hinge shaft and the second portion rotatably secured relative to the second hinge shaft. A tensioned synchronizing element synchronizes rotation of the first portion around the first hinge shaft to rotation of the second portion around the second hinge shaft.
