Abstract
A simultaneous-rotating hinge has a body, a first leaf and a second leaf. The body has a gear assembly. The gear assembly is mounted in the body and comprises multiple gears that engage each other. The first leaf is mounted rotatably on the body and connects to one of the gears in the gear assembly. The second leaf is mounted rotatably on the body and connects to another gear in the gear assembly. Interaction of the gears causes the first leaf and the second leaf to pivot simultaneously toward or away from each other.
