FOLDING PORTABLE DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240183383 titled 'FOLDING PORTABLE DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a folding device with a hinge assembly, first and second assemblies connected to the hinge assembly, gears to synchronize movement, members to increase force needed to rotate the assemblies, and a display spanning the assemblies.
- Hinge assembly with first and second axes
- First assembly with a first shaft connected to the hinge assembly
- Second assembly with a second shaft connected to the hinge assembly
- Gears on the shafts to synchronize movement
- Members on the shafts to increase force needed to rotate the assemblies
- Display spanning the first and second assemblies
Potential Applications
This folding device could be used in various industries such as consumer electronics, furniture, and automotive for compact and efficient design solutions.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently folding and unfolding devices while maintaining structural integrity and ease of use.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include space-saving design, improved portability, and enhanced user experience with the synchronized movement of the assemblies.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include foldable smartphones, portable furniture, and collapsible automotive components.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing folding mechanisms in devices such as laptops and tablets, but with a different configuration and design.
What are the materials used in the construction of this folding device?
The materials used in the construction of this folding device could include metals such as aluminum or steel for durability, as well as plastics for lightweight components.
How does the synchronization of movement between the first and second assemblies work?
The synchronization of movement between the first and second assemblies is achieved through the meshing of the first and second gears mounted on the first and second shafts, respectively. This ensures that the assemblies move together in a coordinated manner.
Original Abstract Submitted
an example a folding device includes a hinge assembly defining a first axis and a second axis; a first assembly that includes a first shaft rotatably connected to the hinge assembly about the first axis; a second assembly that includes a second shaft rotatably connected to the hinge assembly about the second axis; a first gear mounted on the first shaft; a second gear mounted on the second shaft, wherein the first gear is configured to mesh with the second gear to synchronize movement of the first assembly and the second assembly; a first member on the first shaft; a second member on the second shaft, wherein the first member and the second member are collectively configured to increase an amount of force needed to rotate the first assembly and the second assembly; and a display spanning the first assembly and the second assembly.
