Device with Translation Mechanism - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17847749 titled 'Device with Translation Mechanism

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a hinged computing device with a unique mechanism involving magnets and a translation mechanism. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The device consists of two portions connected by a hinge, each portion having a magnet at its distal end.
  • A translation mechanism is present, which includes a button that can send control signals and exert a force on the first magnet.
  • This force affects the magnetic attraction between the first and second magnets.

Potential Applications:

  • Hinged computing devices, such as laptops or tablets, could benefit from this technology.
  • Other electronic devices with hinged components could also incorporate this mechanism.

Problems Solved:

  • This technology solves the problem of controlling electronic components in hinged devices while also providing a physical force for magnetic attraction.
  • It addresses the challenge of maintaining a secure and stable connection between the two portions of the device.

Benefits:

  • The translation mechanism allows for easy control of electronic components, enhancing user experience.
  • The magnetic attraction between the two portions of the device can be adjusted based on the force exerted on the first magnet.
  • This technology provides a reliable and efficient way to secure and stabilize hinged devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

The description relates to hinged devices, such as hinged computing devices. One example can include a first portion extending from a hinge end to a distal end that includes a first magnet and a second portion extending from a hinge end to a distal end and includes a second magnet. A translation mechanism can cause a button to both send control signals for electronic components of the device and create a force that acts on the first magnet to affect magnetic attraction between the first and second magnets.
