Abstract
A hinge includes at least one shaft set including a first shaft and a second shaft. The first shaft and the second shaft extend through a first guiding member and a second guiding member. A guiding base is disposed between the first shaft and the second shaft. The first shaft and the second shaft connect to an upper plate and a lower plate. The upper plate and the lower plate are connected to two rotatable parts of an electronic device. The first shaft and the second shaft moves relatively along with the rotation of the two rotatable parts of the electronic device.

A hinge, comprising:
- a first shaft mounted to an upper plate and comprising a first gear and a first rod extending from the first gear;
- a second shaft mounted to a lower plate and comprising a second gear and a second rod extending from the second gear;
- a first guiding member, through which the first rod and the second rod extend, comprising a first up-inclined groove having a predetermined length and a first down-inclined groove having a predetermined length;
- a second guiding member disposed on the first rod and the second rod and comprising a second up-inclined groove having a predetermined length and a second down-inclined groove having a predetermined length;
- a guiding base disposed between the first shaft and the second shaft, mounted to the first guiding member and the second guiding member and comprising a first row of teeth engaging the first gear and a second row of teeth engaging the second gear, wherein the first rod extends through the first up-inclined groove and the second up-inclined groove to connect the upper plate, and the second rod extends through the first down-inclined groove and the second down-inclined groove to connect the lower plate.
A hinge, comprising:
- at least two shaft sets connecting an upper plate and a lower plate, each of the shaft set comprises a first shaft and a second shaft, wherein the first shaft comprises a first gear and a first rod extending from the first gear, and the second shaft comprises a second gear and a second rod extending from the second gear;
- a first guiding member, through which the first rod and the second rod extend, comprising a first up-inclined groove having a predetermined length and a first down-inclined groove having a predetermined length;
- and
- a second guiding member, through which the first rod and the second rod extend, comprising a second up-inclined groove having a predetermined length and a second down-inclined groove having a predetermined length;
- a first guiding base disposed between the first shaft and the second shaft, mounted to the first guiding member and the second guiding member and comprising a first row of teeth engaging the first gear and a second row of teeth engaging the second gear;
- an auxiliary guiding member disposed between the first guiding member and the second guiding member and comprising an up-inclined groove through which the first shaft extends and a down-inclined groove through which the second shaft extend;
- and
- a second guiding base disposed between the shaft sets and comprising a first row of teeth and a second row of teeth, wherein the second guiding base transmits movement of the first shaft set to the second shaft set.
