Abstract: A hinge for a cellular phone that has a cover and a base comprises an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve and a spring. The spring is mounted between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve and provides a torsion force to open the cover. A layer of buffering gel is applied the outer surface of the inner sleeve between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve to damp the opening rate of the cover so that the pivoting device can keep a wire between the cover and the base from breaking.

Abstract: The invention relates to a damping device for movable furniture parts, for example for doors or drawers, comprising a piston or plunger which is slidably guided in a hollow body, e.g. a cylinder, with said piston or plunger being impinged upon by spring force into its pushed-out position. According to the invention, the hollow body comprises at least one section of a spiral-shaped stay of the internal screw thread, and/or the piston or plunger comprises at least one section of a spiral-shaped stay of the external screw thread. The stays of the screw threads are glidingly supported one on top of the other, or cams or journals of the hollow body or of the piston or plunger are supported on a screw-thread section of the other component. The pitch of the stays of the screw threads is greater than the pitch at which self-locking occurs.

Abstract: A damping mechanism for an opening and closing member that opens and closes an opening while changing a center of rotation has an arm with damped rotational speed to support a shaft part of the opening and closing member. A position of the shaft part with respect to the arm is changed along with the opening and closing operation of the opening and closing member by a guide member. The arm is urged toward an opening direction of the opening and closing member by a forcing member, and the opening and closing member is maintained in a closed state against the force of the forcing member by a locking member.

Abstract: A damping device for damping the relative rotation of a rotating member. The damping device includes a casing, a rotor disposed in an interior space of the casing, and a damping mechanism including a viscous liquid disposed in an annular chamber formed between the casing and the rotor. The viscous liquid exerts frictional forces to damp the relative rotation between the rotor and the casing in a first rotation direction but not in the opposite rotation direction, the damping force increasing when the rotor and the casing rotate relative to each other from a first relative angular position to a second relative angular position in the first rotation direction. The casing and the rotor are structure to provide a damping force by impeding the flow of the viscous liquid within the chamber, and to provide another damping force by the contacting of the rotor and the casing. A valve is further provided within the chamber to restrict the flow of the viscous liquid. A toilet seat and lid unit incorporating two identically shaped damping devices, as well as a toilet bowl incorporating the seat and lid unit are also provided.

Abstract: A rotary damper uses a motor to selectively dynamically brake the rotational movement between a housing and a cover of a wireless communications device. A clutch that is moveable between an engaged position and a disengaged position connects the motor to the cover so that the relative rotational movement between the housing and the cover in at least one rotational direction is resisted by the motor when the clutch is in an engaged position. The clutch preferably includes a coupler axially moveable between a deployed position directly engaging the flip cover and a retracted position disengaged from the cover, and an actuator moveable between a first position and a second position so as to cause the coupler to assume the deployed position and the retracted position, respectively. The actuator preferably includes a spring to bias the coupler towards the deployed position. A shaft preferably extends through the motor and connects the actuator to the coupler. The coupler may rotate at a slower speed relative to the shaft or may rotate at the same speed. The rotary damper may also include an eccentric weight attached to the shaft so as to spin therewith. When the clutch is in the disengaged position, the motor may intermittently spin the shaft causing the eccentric weight to spin, thereby imparting a shaking motion to the overall phone.
