(15) Please refer to FIGS. 5 and 6. In use of the rotary shaft link assembly structure of the present invention, when the first and second supports 1, 2 are respectively forced and rotated, the force is transmitted to the toothed ring assembly 44 (or the toothed ring assembly 45) via the connection seat 41 and the connection component 42. Accordingly, the first, second, third and fourth pivot shafts 431, 432, 433, 434 of the pivot shaft assembly 43 can be synchronously forward/backward pivotally rotated and displaced via the first, second, third, fourth and fifth toothed rings 441, 442, 443, 444, 445 (or the first, second, third, fourth and fifth toothed rings 451, 452, 453, 454, 455, whereby the first and second articles can be opened/closed relative to each other.

(16) During the pivotal rotation and displacement of the first, second, third and fourth pivot shafts 431, 432, 433, 434, by means of the elastic deformation sections 44221, 44321, 44421 (or the elastic deformation sections 45121, 45221, 45311, 45321, 45421, 45521), the position deflection caused by the processing precision error or other factors of the respective components of the pivot shaft assembly 43 and the toothed ring assembly 44 can be effectively absorbed. Accordingly, the synchronous rotational assembly 4 can smoothly drive the multiple connection members 31 of the rotary shaft assembly 3 to bend and connect between the respective spacer shaft rods 32. Also, the connection members 31 can respectively shield a part of the synchronous rotational assembly 4 to not only provide a protection effect but also reduce the dropped powder and oil leakage caused by the friction of the synchronous rotational assembly 4.

(17) In practical application of the rotary shaft link assembly structure of the present invention, as necessary, a flexible shielding plate can be disposed in the hollow section 311 of each connection member 31. Alternatively, at least the sections of the adjacent connection members 31 near the hollow sections 311 are designed with partially overlapping structures, whereby when the synchronous rotational assembly 4 is forward/backward bent, the synchronous rotational assembly 4 can keep fully shielded by the shielding plates or the connection members 31.

(18) In conclusion, the rotary shaft link assembly structure of the present invention can truly partially shield the connection sections of the synchronous rotational assembly so as to provide a protection effect and reduce the dropped powder and oil leakage. The rotary shaft link assembly structure of the present invention is inventive and advanced.

(19) The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the above embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
