Abstract
A dual-torque hinge mechanism includes a rotary shaft, a second bridging component, a resistance assembly, a torque generating component and a driving assembly. The second bridging component is rotatably disposed on the rotary shaft. The resistance assembly is disposed on the rotary shaft and coupled to second bridging component. The torque generating component is coupled to the rotary shaft. The driving assembly is disposed between the resistance assembly and the torque generating component.
Claims16
A dual-torque hinge mechanism, comprising:
- a rotary shaft;
- a base bridging component rotatably disposed on the rotary shaft;
- a resistance assembly disposed on the rotary shaft and coupled to base bridging component;
- a torque generating component coupled to the rotary shaft;
- and
- a driving assembly disposed between the resistance assembly and the torque generating component;
