Abstract
A hollow hinge includes a first hollow component, a second hollow component and a plurality of support assemblies. The first hollow component has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a plurality of concave portions are disposed on the second surface. The second hollow component is disposed on the second surface of the first hollow component and a plurality of receiving portions corresponding to the concave portions are disposed on the second hollow component. The support assemblies are respectively contained in the receiving portions and continuously butt against the first hollow component through a force. The hollow hinge avoids friction between components and strengthens support, thereby prolonging durability and improving assembly and production yield rate.

A hollow hinge, comprising:
- a first hollow component, having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a plurality of concave portions being disposed on the second surface;
- a second hollow component, disposed on the second surface of the first hollow component, a plurality of receiving portions corresponding to the concave portions being disposed on the second hollow component;
- and
- a plurality of support assemblies, accommodated in the receiving portions, respectively, one end portion of each of the plurality of support assemblies butting against the first hollow component through a force, the end portion butting one of the plurality of concave portions in an initial state.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a first housing;
- a second housing, disposed opposite to the first housing;
- and
- a hollow hinge, pivotally disposed between the first housing and the second housing, the hollow hinge comprising:
- a first hollow component, having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a plurality of concave portions being disposed on the second surface;
- a second hollow component, disposed on the second surface of the first hollow component, a plurality of receiving portions corresponding to the concave portions being disposed on the second hollow component;
- and
- a plurality of support assemblies, accommodated in the receiving portions, respectively, one end portion of each of the plurality of support assemblies butting against the first hollow component through a force, the end portion butting one of the plurality of concave portions in an initial state.
