A sliding hinge is provide, including a first member, a cover, a bottom cover movable relative to the first member, a sling plate fixed to the bottom cover, and an elastic module. The first member has a main body and a connection portion protruding therefrom, wherein the connection portion has a recess. The cover is fixed to the connection portion, wherein the cover and the first member form a space therebetween to receive the sling plate and the elastic module. The elastic module has an end received in the recess.

Electronic device and sliding hinge thereof

A connecting mechanism is provided to connect an input module to a display module of an electronic device, wherein the display module is slidable relative to the input module along a first direction. The connecting mechanism includes a FPC and a sliding hinge comprising a fixed member fixed to the input module, a slider fixed to the display module, and a sliding plate fixed to the slider and movably received in a concave space of the fixed member. The FPC has a first portion extended from a side wall of the fixed member to the middle of the slider along a second direction, and the first portion is bent and extended along the first direction to an opening of the slider. A bent portion of the FPC passes through the opening to connect the first portion and a second portion of the FPC, wherein the first and second portions are on opposite sides of the slider.

Electronic device and connecting mechanism thereof

A moving mechanism is provided, including a torsion hinge, a slider, a lock member, and an elastic member disposed on the slider. The torsion hinge has a first plate and a second plate rotatable relative to each other. The lock member is rotatable relative to the first plate, and the slider is movably disposed on the second plate. When the moving mechanism is in a closed state, the lock member is engaged with a slot portion of the second plate, so as to restrict the second plate in a predetermined angle. When the slider slides relative to the second plate to a critical position, the elastic member pushes the lock member to release from the slot portion, such that the second plate is rotatable to an open position.

Electronic device and moving mechanism thereof

A portable electronic device including a first body, a second body, a sliding module, a flexible electrical member, and a first seal member is provided. The first body has a first opening. The sliding module is disposed between the first and the second bodies. The sliding module has a second opening. The flexible electrical member passes through the first and the second openings, and is connected between the first and the second bodies. The first seal member is disposed between the sliding module and the first body and surrounds the first opening.

Portable electronic device

A moving mechanism of an electronic device is provided, including a first member, a second member, a sliding member slidably connected to the first member, and a pivot rotatably connecting the second member with the sliding member. When the first member slides relative to the sliding member, a latch member on the first member is pressed by the sliding member to a retracted position. When the sliding member is released from an initial angle and rotates relative to the second member, the latch member is pushed by a resilient element and is joined in a recess of the sliding member, thus preventing sliding between the first member and the sliding member.

A multi-staged hinge assembly and a portable electrical device comprising the multi-staged hinge assembly are provided. The multi-staged hinge assembly utilizes a spindle with a non-circular cross-section and the relative movement resulting from the movable components disposed on the spindle, such that one of the body portions of the portable electrical device automatically tilts in an angle after the body portions slides with each other. The user could further adjust the angle to meet various use conditions.

A handheld electronic device including a first body, a second body, a sliding module, and a shielding member is provided. The sliding module drives the first body and the second body transforming between a retracting state and a spreading state. The sliding module includes a sliding member, a fixing member and a driving member. The sliding member has an opening and when the first body and the second body configure in the spreading state, a part of the opening is exposed. The shielding member is coupled to the driving member. When the first body and the second body are transformed from the retracting state to the spreading state, the driving member drives the shielding member sliding with respect to the sliding member to shield the part of the opening.

Handheld electronic device with large spreading area

A portable electronic device and an operation method therefor are provided. The portable electronic device comprises a first body portion, a second body portion, a sliding module and a rotating module. After the second body portion is slid along the surface of the first portion by the sliding module, the rotating module is promptly triggered to automatically rotate the second body portion to a first angle with respect to the first body portion. The second body portion can be further rotated to a second angle when the second body portion bears a thrust force at the first angle. The portable electronic device can operate in corresponding operation modes according to the angles that the second body portion presents with respect to the first body portion.

Portable electronic device and operation method therefor

A multi-staged hinge assembly and a portable electrical device comprising the multi-staged hinge assembly are provided. The multi-staged hinge assembly utilizes a non-circular spindle to associate with a plurality of movable elements disposed thereon. One of the body portions of the portable electrical device automatically tilts at an angle after the body portion slides by the multi-staged hinge assembly. The user could further adjust the angle to meet the demands of various situations.

A connector assembly includes a circuit board, a housing, terminals, a flexible circuit board and a reinforcement plate. The housing has a depression portion and is disposed on the circuit board. The depression portion has a first opening and a second opening adjacent to the first opening, and the terminals are disposed in the depression portion and electrically connected to the circuit board. The flexible circuit board has a first surface, a second surface and pads disposed on the first surface, and the reinforcement plate is disposed on the second surface near one end of the flexible circuit board, wherein when the flexible circuit board is joined to the housing and the first opening faces to the flexible circuit board, the pads contact the terminals, whereby the flexible circuit board is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the flexible circuit board extends from the housing via the second opening.
