    Abstract: A hinge device for supporting an electronic device includes a first portion and a second portion movable relative to the first portion with a biasing element supported by one or the first portion or the second portion. The first portion has an arcuate groove, and the second portion has an arcuate rail configured to complementarily mate with the arcuate groove and slide therein. The biasing element contacts a leading edge of the other of the first portion or second portion, and the first portion and second portion are bistable in a closed state relative to one another and an open state relative to one another based at least partially on a surface profile of the biasing element applying a radial force to the leading edge.

    Abstract: The description relates to hinged devices, such as hinged computing devices. One example can include first and second device portions and a hinge assembly that includes spaced-apart parallel first and second hinge shafts. The first portion rotatably secured relative to the first hinge shaft and the second portion rotatably secured relative to the second hinge shaft. A tensioned synchronizing element synchronizes rotation of the first portion around the first hinge shaft to rotation of the second portion around the second hinge shaft.

    Abstract: The description relates to hinged devices. One example can include a spine defining inner and outer arced surfaces and a hinge arm positioned between the inner and outer arced surfaces and configured to arcuately move from a retracted position to a fully extended position. The example includes an anti-lock link captured between the spine and the hinge arm to move along an arc. Rotation of the hinge arm to the fully extended position is configured to rotate the anti-lock link along the arc and partially out of the spine until the anti-lock link contacts the spine and blocks further extension of the hinge arm. Reverse rotation of the hinge arm from the fully extended position toward the retracted position is configured to initially cause the hinge arm to contact the anti-lock link and not the outer arced surface.

    Abstract: A foldable computing device comprises a first portion, a second portion, a hinge assembly rotatably coupling the first portion to the second portion, and a flexible display. The flexible display extends at least partially across the first portion and at least partially across the second portion, and spans the hinge assembly between the first portion and the second portion. The hinge assembly includes a hinge core, a first linkage component rotatably coupling the hinge core to the first portion and forming a portion of a backing support for the flexible display, and a first hinge guide rotatably coupling the hinge core to the first portion. The hinge assembly further includes a second linkage component rotatably coupling the hinge core to the second portion and forming another portion of the backing support for the flexible display, and a second hinge guide rotatably coupling the hinge core to the second portion.

    Abstract: The description relates to hinged devices, such as hinged computing devices. One example can include a hinge assembly that rotatably secures a first portion and a second portion. The hinge assembly can define a hinge shaft. The hinge assembly can include an adjustable closed-loop friction band secured to the first portion. The adjustable closed-loop friction band can extend between an aperture end and a removable end. The removable end can include a removable torque control element having a thickness that also at least in part controls a dimension of an aperture that receives the hinge shaft and thereby controls friction between the aperture and the hinge shaft.

    Abstract: An apparatus allows a device to open from a closed configuration. The device comprises a first frame comprising a first magnet assembly, and a second frame rotatably coupled to the first frame. The apparatus comprises a second magnet assembly rotatably coupled to the second frame and configured to attract the first magnet assembly when the two frames and are in the closed configuration. A biasing member biases the second magnet assembly for rotation in an open direction. An actuator comprises first and second arms extending from an elongated base toward first and second cams that are coupled to the second magnet assembly. Translation of the elongated base toward the second magnet assembly causes the arms to rotate the cams, thereby causing rotation of the second magnet assembly in the open direction to reduce a magnetic force between the first magnet assembly and the second magnet assembly.
