The hinge assembly includes: a rotating assembly and a hovering mechanism. The rotating assembly includes a first rotating part, and the first rotating part comprises a first guide groove extending obliquely around an axial direction of the first rotating part. The hovering mechanism comprises a sliding member and a position limiting member. The sliding member includes a protruding part, the protruding part extends into the first guide groove. The first rotating part drives the sliding member to move along the axial direction of the first rotating part when rotating. One of the position limiting member and the sliding member comprises a first limiting part, the other of the position limiting member and the sliding member comprises a second limiting part cooperated with the first limiting part.

A hinge assembly includes: a fixed supporting piece; a rotating assembly, movably connected with the fixed supporting piece and including a first limiting portion; and a locking mechanism, disposed on the fixed supporting piece and including a limiting piece which includes a second limiting portion matched with the first limiting portion. The fixed supporting piece slides relative to the rotating assembly in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the rotating assembly in a rotation process of the rotating assembly, so that the first limiting portion is connected with the second limiting portion or the first limiting portion is separated from the second limiting portion; when the first limiting portion is connected with the second limiting portion, the two limiting portions are matched with each other to limit rotation of the rotating assembly; when separated, limiting of the rotating assembly is released.

Provided is an electronic device including a first housing, a second housing, a flexible housing including a hinge structure, a first printed circuit board disposed in the first housing, a second printed circuit board disposed in the first housing, laminated on one surface of the first printed circuit board facing a second direction and including a connector on one surface facing the second direction, a flexible printed circuit board connected with the connector, extending from the second housing through the hinge structure to the first housing, a rib supporting the first printed circuit board, disposed between the first printed circuit board and a first surface, including a through hole through which part of the flexible printed circuit board passes, extending in the second direction from one end, and at least one sealing member sealing a space between the through hole and part of the flexible printed circuit board.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, second housing, a hinge structure rotatably connecting a side surface of the first housing and a side surface of the second housing facing the side surface of the first housing along a folding axis, a flexible display panel including a first display area, a second display area, and a third display area, and a supporting member supporting the flexible display panel. The supporting member includes a flexible region including plural openings having a length in a direction parallel to the folding axis, spaced apart from each other, and corresponding to the third display area, and rigid regions corresponding to the first display area and the second display area. Both ends of each of the openings partially overlapped on the plurality of gears are disposed outside the plurality of gears projected onto the support member.

Access points can be mounted in a variety of locations or orientations and can support multiple communications protocols. In some embodiments, an access point includes a main housing and a front housing. The main and front housing are connected by a hinge. A Wi-Fi antenna is included in the front housing in some embodiments. The access point is configured for use in either an open or closed position. When mounted in a vertical position, the front housing can be lowered into a horizontal position, which facilitates a preferred orientation of an antenna with respect to the ground. A first set of cooling fins serves to maintain components of the access point offset from a wall to which the access point is mounted. This facilitates airflow. Additional fins act as a spacer between the main housing and the front housing when the access point is used in a closed position. This facilitates air flow around both sides of the main housing.

A foldable display device includes a display panel including first and second display areas and a folding part between the first and second display areas; first and second system units disposed under the display panel and corresponding to the first and second display areas, respectively, an elastic plate between the display panel and the first and second system units; and a hinge system corresponding to the folding part and disposed on rear surfaces of the first and second system units, the hinge system including a first hinge portion on the rear surface of the first system unit and a second hinge portion on the rear surface of the second system unit, wherein the first and second hinge portions are rotatably hinge-combined with each other.

Disclosed in the present application are a support apparatus and a bendable apparatus, relating to the technical field of machinery. The support apparatus comprises a plurality of sequentially connected adjustment structures, every adjustment structure is used for connecting to a back side of a bendable structure, and any two adjacent adjustment structures among the plurality of adjustment structures can perform relative rotation, and thus a curvature of the support apparatus may be adjusted by means of adjusting a rotational angle between every adjustment structure and an adjacent adjustment structure, and consequently a curvature of the bendable structure connected to the support apparatus is adjustable; the bendable structure has relatively high use versatility.

According to various example embodiments, a foldable electronic device configured to move a flexible printed circuit board along a support plate during an unfolding operation may include: a hinge configured to support a flexible printed circuit board, wherein the hinge may include: a hinge body, a support plate rotatably connected to the hinge body, a slider slidable along the support plate and configured to support the flexible printed circuit board, and a connecting part configured to connect the support plate and a connecting plate.

An electronic device includes a hinge module; a first housing, a second housing, and a flexible display. The first housing is connected to the hinge module. The second housing is connected to the hinge module. The flexible display is disposed through at least a portion of the first and second housings. The flexible display includes a display panel includes a first surface facing in a first direction and a second surface facing in a direction opposite, when the electronic device is in an unfolded state. The flexible display also includes a window layer disposed at the first surface and a metal sheet layer. The display panel, the window layer, and the metal sheet layer are disposed so that a separation distance between the display panel, the window layer, and the metal sheet layer and inner side walls of the first and second housings and generates different interlayer slips.

The description relates to devices that include hinged portions and controlling rotation of the portions. One example can include a display that is configured to rotate relative to an axis. The example can also include a clutch assembly interposed between first and second planet gear assemblies positioned along the axis. The first and second planet gears configured to multiply resistance to rotation around the axis that is supplied by the clutch assembly.
