SEAMLESS DUAL SCREEN HINGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17872073 titled 'SEAMLESS DUAL SCREEN HINGE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an information handling system that includes a first member, a second member, and one or more hinge assemblies for coupling the first and second members. The hinge assemblies consist of a central assembly, a first and a second orbit mechanism, a first primary shaft, a first pair of link bars, a first secondary shaft, a first track, a second primary shaft, a second pair of link bars, a second secondary shaft, and a second track.
- The central assembly is the main component that connects the first and second members.
- The first and second orbit mechanisms are designed to couple to the first and second members respectively.
- The first primary shaft couples the first pair of link bars to the central assembly and to each other.
- The first secondary shaft couples the first pair of link bars to each other and to the first orbit mechanism through a first track with an elongated opening.
- The second primary shaft couples the second pair of link bars to the central assembly and to each other.
- The second secondary shaft couples the second pair of link bars to each other and to the second orbit mechanism through a second track with an elongated opening.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Laptops and tablets: The hinge assembly can be used to connect the display and keyboard components, allowing for easy opening and closing of the device.
- Convertible devices: The hinge assembly can enable the transformation of a laptop into a tablet mode, providing versatility to the user.
- Industrial equipment: The hinge assembly can be used in machinery and equipment that require adjustable angles or positions.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Flexibility and durability: The hinge assembly allows for smooth movement and secure coupling of the first and second members, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Space optimization: The hinge assembly enables compact designs by efficiently connecting components without compromising functionality.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced user experience: The hinge assembly provides a seamless and user-friendly interaction with the information handling system, allowing for easy opening, closing, and transformation.
- Improved portability: The hinge assembly enables devices to be more compact and portable, making them easier to carry and transport.
- Versatility: The hinge assembly's adjustable angles and positions offer flexibility in various applications, enhancing usability and adaptability.
