A three-section slide rail device includes an outer section, a middle section and an inner section. An outer rail of the outer section has a sliding surface and an anti-retraction block and a releasing block formed on the sliding surface. A middle rail of the middle section is slidably disposed on the outer rail. An anti-retraction member and a driven member are pivotably mounted on an end of the middle rail. An inner rail of the inner section is slidably disposed on the middle rail, and has an abutment plate and a driving plate formed on an inner surface of the inner rail. The abutment plate abuts upwardly against the anti-retraction member, and is moved to disengage from the anti-retraction member to permit abutment of the anti-retraction member against the anti-retraction block so as to prevent retraction movement of the middle section relative to the outer section.

Three-section slide rail device

A three-section slide rail device includes an outer section, a middle section and an inner section. The middle section includes a middle rail and an inner middle block. The inner section includes an inner rail slidably disposed on the middle rail, and a removal operating assembly disposed on the inner rail. The removal operating assembly has a removal operating member, a removal connecting plate and a removal locking member pivotably mounted on the inner rail and having a removal guiding slot. The removal locking member has a locking portion and a protrusion. The removal operating member is operated to move the removal connecting plate and bring the protrusion to move along the removal guiding slot to result in pivoting of the removal locking member so as to disengage the locking portion from the inner middle block for permitting removal of the inner section from the middle section.

A three-section slide rail device includes an outer section, a middle section and an inner section. The middle section includes a middle rail slidably disposed on the outer section, a ball sliding plate slidably disposed on the middle rail, and a leaf spring at one end of the middle rail. The ball sliding plate has a plate body, a synchronizing block and a positioning hole formed on the plate body. The inner section includes an inner rail and a synchronizing actuating member pivotably mounted to the inner rail. The synchronizing actuating member is in an abutting engagement with the synchronizing block during an extended movement of the inner section relative to the middle section to make synchronizing movement of the ball sliding plate with the inner section until the positioning hole of the ball sliding plate is engaged with the leaf spring.

Embodiments of synchronized hinges for foldable displays are described. In some embodiments, a hinge may include: a first bracket coupled to a first shaft via a first arm, a second bracket coupled to a second shaft via a second arm, and a synchronization bracket coupled to the first and second shafts.

Synchronized hinges for foldable displays

A hinge assembly is provided for hingedly connecting a first frame to a second frame, and includes at least one hinge module which includes a first mounting base, a first connection member, a second connection member, and a transmission unit. The first and second connection members are coupled to the first and second frames, respectively, and are turnably mounted to the first mounting base respectively about first and second turning axes which are parallel to and offset from each other. The transmission unit is provided to permit the first and second connection members to turn in opposite rotational directions from each other whilst turning simultaneously.
