Abstract
A sliding hinge includes a flat base body having an opening at a middle thereof, a sliding body slidably coupled with the base body, and at least one torsion spring placed in the opening of the base body. The at least one torsion spring has a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm. A free end of the first elastic arm is pivotably connected to a middle portion of a side of the opening parallel to a sliding direction of the sliding body. A free end of the second elastic arm is pivotably connected with a middle portion of the sliding body. The torsion spring is moved in the opening to store an elastic force when the sliding body is pushed to bring the second elastic arm to approach the first elastic arm gradually, and subsequently to release the stored elastic force to make the sliding body slide automatically.

A sliding hinge, comprising:
- a flat base body having an opening at a middle thereof,
- a sliding body slidably coupled with the base body;
- and
- at least one torsion spring placed in the opening of the base body, the at least one torsion spring having a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm, a free end of the first elastic arm being pivotably connected to a middle portion of a side of the opening parallel to a sliding direction of the sliding body, a free end of the second elastic arm being pivotably connected with a middle portion of the sliding body,
- wherein the torsion spring is moved in the opening to store an elastic force when the sliding body is pushed to bring the second elastic arm to approach the first elastic arm gradually, and subsequently to release the stored elastic force to make the sliding body slide automatically.
