Embodiment Construction

[0056] Figure 11a with Figure 11b A foldable electronic device 16 is shown comprising a first frame portion 17a and a second frame portion 17b. exist Figure 12 The hinge assembly 1, shown more clearly in , connects the first frame part 17a with the second frame part, so that the first frame part 17a and the second frame part 17b can be in the middle of the folded final position P1 and the unfolded final position P2 relative pivot. exist Figure 11b In the shown folded final position P1, the second frame part 17b is superimposed on the first frame part 17a. exist Figure 11a In the unfolded final position P2 shown, the front face of the second frame part 17b is aligned with the front face of the first frame part 17a.

[0057] The foldable electronic device 16 also includes a foldable display 18 . The foldable display 18 is attached to the front of the first frame part 17a and the front of the second frame part 17b and extends across the hinge assembly 1 .

Abstract

A hinge assembly (1) comprising a first row (2) of hinge plates (3a), a second row (4) of hinge plates (3b) being offset in relation to the first row (2) of hinge plates (3a) such that a hinge plate (3b) of the second row (4) partially overlaps a hinge plate (3a) of the first row (2), and a support rod (5a, 5b). Each support rod (5a, 5b) passes through a hinge plate (3a, 3b) of one row and bordersa neighboring hinge plate (3b, 3a) of another row, so that the neighboring hinge plate (3b, 3a) can fold around the support rod (5a, 5b). The hinge assembly (1) has as small outer dimensions as possible, while still providing a range of movement which allows a wide range of movement as well as provides support for any component extending across the hinge assembly (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a hinge assembly that includes a first row of hinge plates and a second row of hinge plates that are offset relative to the first row of hinge plates such that only Partially overlaps the first row of hinge plates. Background technique [0002] When designing electronic devices such as tablets and mobile phones, the size of the electronic device is an important consideration. Users often demand that the outer dimensions of the device be as small as possible, but when it comes to display, bigger is better. [0003] This problem can be solved by a foldable electronic device such as in US 9,071,673. An electronic device is disclosed in US 9,071,673, wherein the electronic device comprises a plurality of housings interconnected by hinges and the electronic device is covered by a large display. The plurality of housings and the display can be folded together to provide the smallest possible device while unfolding to prov...
