Magnetic hinge apparatus
First Claim
1. A magnetic hinge apparatus, maintained at a first stable equilibrium or at a second stable equilibrium, comprising:
- a hinge housing having a cavity;
a hinge shaft situated inside the cavity;
an immobilized magnetic device assembled inside the hinge housing and situated inside the cavity; and
a rotatable magnetic device fixed with the hinge shaft inside the cavity and rotatable to the immobilized magnetic device, the rotatable magnetic device being disposed with the immobilized magnetic device as mates, the opposite surfaces of the rotatable magnetic device and the immobilized magnetic device having the same polarity,wherein the rotatable magnetic device is positioned at one side adjacent to the immobilized magnetic device when the magnetic hinge apparatus is maintained at the first stable equilibrium, and the rotatable magnetic device is positioned at the other side adjacent to the immobilized magnetic device when the magnetic hinge apparatus is maintained at the second stable equilibrium.

Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a lifting cover open automatically, is applied in an electric product with a lifting cover. The apparatus includes a first magnetic device disposed on the main body of the electric product, a second magnetic device disposed on the lifting cover with respect to the first magnetic device, and a controlling device disposed on the main body for controlling switch on/off between the first magnetic device and power of the electric product. An inducing magnetic field is formed when the first magnetic device is connected to the power of the electric product, and the inducing magnetic field produces a repulsive force to the second magnetic device on the lifting cover so as to have the lifting cover open automatically.
