    摘要: A hinge mechanism is provided, including a rotary member, a first member, a second member, a first shaft, and a first slider. The first member has a first guiding channel. The second member pivotally connects to the first member and has a first recess. The first shaft pivotally connects the rotary member and the first member, wherein the first shaft has a first cavity. The first slider is movable between the first recess and the first cavity. When the first slider is located in the first recess, the first member is prohibited from rotating relative to the second member by the first slider. When the first slider slides from the first recess along the first guiding channel to the first cavity, the rotary member is prohibited from rotating relative to the first member by the first slider.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a display module, a movable member, a base, and a biasing element. The display module has a housing and a guiding member fixed thereto. The guiding member has an angled surface, and the housing has an opening. The movable member is disposed in the display module and has a through hole. The biasing element is disposed in the through hole and adjacent to the angled surface. The base has a main body and a connecting member, wherein the connecting member is connected to the main body and detachably connected to the display module. When the connecting member is inserted into the display module through the opening along a first direction, the connecting member pushes the movable member to move along a second direction with respect to the housing, and the movable member forces the biasing element to contact the connecting member.

    摘要: A hinge mechanism is provided, including a fixed member, a rotary member pivotally connected to the fixed member, a pin, a first gear set, and a second gear set. The first and second gear sets are connected to the fixed member and the rod and respectively have a teeth-uncompleted gear. When the rotary member rotates relative to the fixed member from an initial angle to a first angle, the first gear set drives the pin to rotate in a first direction. When the rotary member further rotates relative to the fixed member from the first angle to a second angle, the second gear set drives the ping to rotate in a second direction, which is the opposite of the first direction.

    摘要: A shaft structure and an electronic device using the same are provided. The shaft structure includes a friction fixing member, a friction rotating member, a latch and a magnetic module. The friction fixture has a fixed wall. The friction rotating member has an elastic wall. The friction rotating member is inserted into the friction fixing member. The latch is inserted into the friction rotating member and pushed against the inner side of the elastic wall so that the elastic wall is expanded to push against the fixed wall of the friction fixing member. The magnetic module is configured to provide a magnetic repulsive force to the latch to push the latch against the elastic wall.

    摘要: A hinge structure including an axis body, a torque member, and a pressing assembly is provided. The axis body includes a contact surface. The torque member leans against the contact surface of the axis body. The torque member and the axis body are rotatable relatively around a central axis of the axis body. The contact surface pushes the torque member to move around the central axis of the axis body when the torque member and the axis body rotate relatively. The pressing assembly provides a pushing force to the torque member to push the torque member to push towards the contact surface. A plurality of electronic devices having the hinge structure are further provided.
