A hinge includes a seat, a shaft, a swivel bracket and at least one limiting bar. The seat includes two support portions. An accommodation area is defined between the two support portions. The two support portions are respectively provided with a shaft hole. The two shaft holes are arranged coaxially and connected to the accommodation area. The shaft includes a coupling section and two pivoting sections. The coupling section is located between the two pivoting sections. The two pivoting sections are respectively provided in one of the two shaft holes in a rotatable manner, and the coupling section is in the accommodation area. The swivel bracket includes a mounting plate, a sleeve piece and at least one extension portion. The mounting plate includes an inner surface, an outer surface, and a bottom edge. The sleeve piece extends from the bottom edge of the mounting plate and is wound at a side corresponding to the inner surface. The sleeve piece is configured to be sleeved over and fixed to the coupling section, such that swivel bracket is fixed to the shaft and rotatable with respect to the seat to move the inner surface to face the accommodation area. The extension portion is adjacent to lateral edges of the sleeve piece and extends from the bottom edge and is bent towards the side corresponding to the inner surface. The limiting bar is disposed on one of the two support portions and is in the accommodation area. The limiting bar is in a rotational path of the extension portion. When the swivel bracket is flipped outward with respect to the seat, the extension portion moves towards the limiting bar.

Hinge

A wire-passable hinge is mounted between a first casing body and a second casing body. The first casing body and the second casing body are electrically connected to each other by a conductive wire. The wire-passable hinge includes a rotary rod that has a wire passageway to allow passage of the conductive wire, and a bushing that is sleeved rotatably on the rotary rod. A first hinge casing is connected to the first casing body. The rotary rod extends into the first hinge casing. The first hinge casing further allows the conductive wire to pass therethrough. A second hinge casing is connected to the second casing body. The bushing is disposed within the second hinge casing. The second hinge casing further allows the conductive wire to pass therethrough.

Wire-passable hinge

A hinge includes a first fixing bracket, a shaft and a swivel bracket. The first fixing bracket includes two first support pieces and a first connection piece. The two first support pieces are arranged in parallel to each other, and the first connection piece is connected to the two second support pieces. The two first support pieces are respectively provided with a shaft hole and the shaft holes are arranged coaxially along a central axis. At least one of the first support pieces is provided with one limiting extension portion extending in a direction in parallel to the central axis at an upper front end of the first support piece and extending towards the other first support piece. The shaft is inserted into the shaft hole. The swivel bracket includes a mounting plate; an extension plate extending from a bottom edge of the mounting plate and bent towards a side corresponding to the inner surface of the mounting plate; at least one sleeve piece located between the two first support pieces, extending from an end of the extension plate away from the bottom edge, and bent and wound towards the side corresponding to the inner surface. The sleeve piece is configured to be sleeved over the shaft, such that the swivel bracket can rotate with respect to the first fixing bracket. When the swivel bracket is flipped outwards with respect to the first fixing bracket, the extension plate moves towards the limiting extension portion.

A sliding-type electronic apparatus with a strengthening force structure includes a body served as a system terminal and an upper cover disposed on the body and having a surface configured with a touch screen. A sliding and cover-lifting member constituted by a sliding rail, a sliding member and a pivot shaft device is at least disposed between the body and the upper cover. In a normal state, a supporting device, together with the sliding and cover-lifting member, is horizontally and supportively placed in a preset concave chamber space of the body. The auxiliary supporting devices can be formed as an inclined auxiliary support structure on the rear surface of the upper cover when the upper cover is lifted, thereby effectively increasing the screen touch resistance to inhibit screen wobble in an operation process and to promote the support effect and operation stability of the screen.
