Technologies are described for a hinge mechanism coupled to at least a dual-display device wherein the displays can rotate with respect to each other through 360 degrees. The hinge mechanism has at least one flexible connection member that follows a generally S-shaped path when the displays are in a tablet position. In some embodiments, a second flexible connection member can be added that follows a mirrored S-shaped path. The S-shaped path of the first flexible connection member and the mirrored S-shape path of the second flexible connection member together create a cross-configuration. In other embodiments, interconnected friction hinges can allow for a free-stop function at any point along the 360 degrees of rotation.

The aim of the present invention is an improved double-leaf adhesive hinge for fixtures, shutters, hatches or the like, formed by one or more bodies and able to operate a rotary connection between two elements by using a series of alternating folds on the front and rear of the two elements themselves, as a replacement for the standard rotary pivot or hinge, operable to enable the opening or rotation of the elements even up to 360°. Preferably, a single body is formed and the single body can be applied to one or more angular or linear sides by simple adhesive application to enable the connection of fixtures and shutters or the like with their specific rotary function. The elements connected by the hinge according to the invention rotate by the alternation of one or more pairs of hinges formed by folds positioned opposite each other, thus forming a translational but non-overlapping double Z (Zed) system.

Embodiments described herein take the form of a bistable hinge. The bistable hinge typically includes an elastic element and a pair of rigid structures. In the illustrated embodiments, each rigid structure includes a pair of pivoting cylinders connected to a rotating surface and a pawl formed on a portion of the rotating surface. The elastic element is held by the pawl such that a spring force of the elastic element is transmitted to the rigid structure when the elastic element is stretched. The rigid structure may contain any suitable projection, retainer, or the like around which a resilient element extends in place of the depicted pawl. As the elastic element is stretched during operation of the hinge, the elastic element maintains contact with the pawl. Further, when the hinge transitions from the closed state to the open state, the pawl stretches the elastic element, thereby applying tension thereto.
