Abstract
A pivot shaft torque mechanism includes a plurality of pivot shafts equally spaced on a flexible plate; and a plurality of staggered first and second torque plates each being correspondingly provided with a shaft hole and an elongated shaft hole. Each pivot shaft is extended through one elongated shaft hole and one shaft hole on two adjacent torque plates. Each elongated shaft hole is provided with a front and a rear stop section. The pivot shafts are located in the elongated shaft holes and pressed against the rear or the front stop sections when the flexible plate is in an extended or a bent state, respectively, to adapt to a change of interval between the first and second torque plates. The pivot shafts in the elongated shaft holes interfering with the stop sections can provide a self-locking mechanism to force the flexible plate to keep the extended or bent state.
