HINGE ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18682720 titled 'HINGE ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a hinge assembly that includes a hinge body, a driving rod, a magnetic assembly, and a limiting assembly. The hinge body can be folded or unfolded, and the driving rod is slidable relative to the hinge body. The magnetic assembly is coupled to the driving rod, and the limiting assembly can be in a locked or unlocked state. When the hinge body is folded, the driving rod presses against the magnetic assembly, and the limiting assembly can switch to the unlocked state in response to an operation instruction, causing the magnetic assembly to move.
- The hinge assembly includes a hinge body, a driving rod, a magnetic assembly, and a limiting assembly.
- The hinge body can be folded or unfolded.
- The driving rod is slidable relative to the hinge body along a first direction.
- The magnetic assembly is coupled to the driving rod.
- The limiting assembly can be in a locked or unlocked state.
- When the hinge body is folded, the driving rod presses against the magnetic assembly.
- The limiting assembly can switch to the unlocked state in response to an operation instruction.
- The magnetic assembly moves from a first position to a second position.
Potential Applications: - This hinge assembly could be used in folding furniture, cabinets, or doors where a compact design is desired. - It could also be applied in automotive design for foldable components in vehicles.
Problems Solved: - Provides a compact and efficient solution for hinges in various applications. - Allows for easy folding and unfolding of objects without the need for complex mechanisms.
Benefits: - Simplifies the design of foldable objects. - Enhances user experience by providing a smooth folding mechanism. - Increases the durability of hinges due to the efficient design.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Hinge Assembly for Compact Furniture Design Description: This technology can revolutionize the furniture industry by offering a space-saving and durable hinge solution for foldable furniture pieces. It can also be utilized in automotive applications for foldable components in vehicles, enhancing design flexibility and functionality.
Questions about Hinge Assembly Technology: 1. How does the magnetic assembly contribute to the functionality of the hinge assembly? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this hinge assembly technology in commercial products?
Original Abstract Submitted
A hinge assembly includes: a hinge body, a driving rod, a magnetic assembly and a limiting assembly. The hinge body includes a folded state and an unfolded state. The driving rod is slidably coupled to the hinge body. The driving rod is slidable relative to the hinge body along a first direction. The magnetic assembly is slidably coupled to the driving rod. The limiting assembly includes a locked state where the limiting assembly is located between two opposite surfaces of the driving rod and the magnetic assembly and an unlocked state where the limiting assembly is located outside the two opposite surfaces. When the hinge body is in the folded state, the driving rod presses against the magnetic assembly. The limiting assembly switches to the unlocked state in response to an operation instruction. The magnetic assembly moves from a first position to a second position.
