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.

In a device with adjusted pause-type hinge, a holding portion and a fixing axis are combined to form a pause-type hinge, the holding portion has a shaft joint portion and an extending portion, the fixing axis passes through the shaft joint portion and the extending portion in shaft manner for rotating and combined to the holding portion, the holding portion has a protruding portion, the fixing axis has at least one fixing hole, and the protruding portion is elastically stretched and engaged with the fixing hole to form a pausing position of a corresponding angle.

Particular examples described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a notebook computer or laptop, which includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which includes any type of hardware elements, circuitry etc.). The electronic device may also include a connector assembly that is positioned within at least a portion of a recess of the electronic device, where the connector assembly includes: a first assembly that is to receive a connector; and a second assembly that is to receive an identification module that is to provide an association between a user and the electronic device.

The description relates to hinged devices, such as hinged computing devices. One example can include first and second portions that rotate around a hinge shaft that is fixedly secured to the first portion and rotationally secured to the second portion. The second portion defining a first contact surface spaced apart from a second contact surface. Multiple friction clips friction fit around the hinge shaft and rotating with the hinge shaft between the first contact surface and the second contact surface.

A hinge apparatus according to various embodiments may include: a bracket including a first coupling part formed in a first direction with respect to a middle of the bracket and a second coupling part formed in a second direction opposite to the first direction with respect to the middle of the bracket, a first body part including a first plate, a first rotation part coupled with the first plate fastened to the first coupling part of the bracket and configured to rotate about the bracket, and a first cam formed in the first rotation part, a second body part including a second plate, a second rotation part coupled with the second plate fastened to the second coupling part of the bracket and configured to rotate about the bracket, and a second cam formed in the second rotation part, and a torque provision unit, including a first follower including a first cam part engaged with the first cam structure and disposed in the bracket, a second follower including a second cam part engaged with the second cam structure and disposed in the bracket, and a pressurizing part disposed in the bracket between the first follower and the second follower and configured to provide an elastic force to the first follower and the second follower in opposite directions.

A multi-position hinge includes a base seat, a first axle, a second axle and a sliding assembly. The first and second axles rotatably extend through the base seat in a first direction and are spaced apart from each other in a second direction. The first axle has a first recess, a second recess and a first gear portion. The second axle has a third recess, a fourth recess and a second gear portion corresponding with the first recess, the second recess and the first gear portion, respectively. The sliding assembly includes a first sliding member engageable with the first and third recesses, and a second sliding member engageable with the second and fourth recesses. The first and second axles are rotatable in turn and then rotated synchronously to perform multi-position shifting.

According to examples, an apparatus may include a body on which a scanning surface is supported, a lid to cover the scanning surface, and a hinge to rotatably couple the lid to the body. In some examples, the apparatus may include a hinge support assembly disposed on the body. The hinge support assembly may include a first engagement member that may extend from the lid and a second engagement member that may extend from the body. The first engagement member may engage the second engagement member when the lid is in a certain position relative to the scanning surface. The first engagement member may contact the second engagement member to restrict a lateral movement of the lid relative to the hinge.

Conventional laptop computers may utilize a door-hinge style or in a bezel-behind-base style hinge to connect a display with a keyboard of the laptop computer. Typically, these hinges present an undesirable discontinuous visual impression to the user. In the disclosed technology, a leading edge of a display abuts a leading edge a keyboard. The disclosed sliding double-pivot hinge places a pivot axis parallel and coincident with the abutting interface, the leading edges of the display and the keyboard remain abutting throughout a rotational range of motion of the display with reference to the keyboard. The resulting visual impression to the user is that the display is contiguous with the keyboard regardless of the display angle. Further, the disclosed sliding double-pivot hinge may be used in a kickstand to permit the kickstand to rotate up to 180 degrees to fold back on itself and lay flat against an associated computing device.

Examples are disclosed relating to computing device hinge assemblies. In one example, a hinge assembly comprises a hinge frame affixed to one substrate and a hinge arm member affixed to another substrate. The hinge arm member comprises first and second arcuate arm guide slots. An arm support member, moveably coupling the hinge arm member to the hinge frame, comprises a first side comprising a first arcuate support guide slot receiving a first frame guide of the hinge frame, and a second side comprising a second arcuate support guide slot receiving a second frame guide. First and second arcuate inner support guides are received within the first and second arcuate arm guide slots of the hinge arm member. An elongated bridge member connects the first side of the arm support member to the second side, with the bridge member comprising a unitary structure fabricated from bulk metallic glass.
