Hinge module and electronic device using the same
First Claim
1. A hinge module for an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a main body and an upper cover, the main body comprising a top surface and a bottom surface, and the hinge module comprising:
- a biaxial hinge comprising a first rotary shaft, a second rotary shaft and a connecting member, one end of the first rotary shaft being fixed to the main body, another end of the first rotary shaft being pivotally connected with the connecting member, one end of the second rotary shaft being fixed to the upper cover, another end of the second rotary shaft being pivotally connected with the connecting member; and
a pad disposed at the connecting member of the biaxial hinge, when the upper cover rotates with respect to the main body, the connecting member and the pad rotates using the first rotary shaft as a rotation axis, and wherein when the angle between the upper cover and the top surface of the main body is between 0°
to 180°
, at least a portion of the pad extends outwardly beyond the bottom surface of the main body, when the angle between the upper cover and the top surface of the main body is between 180°
to 360°
, at least a portion of the pad extends outwardly beyond the top surface of the main body.

Abstract
A hinge module for an electronic device includes a main body and an upper cover. The hinge module includes a biaxial hinge and a pad. The biaxial hinge includes a first rotary shaft, a second rotary shaft and a connecting member. One end of the first rotary shaft is fixed to the main body, and another end of the first rotary shaft being pivotally connected with the connecting member. One end of the second rotary shaft is fixed to the upper cover, and another end of the second rotary shaft is pivotally connected with the connecting member. The pad is disposed at the connecting member of the biaxial hinge. When the upper cover rotates with respect to the main body, the connecting member and the pad rotates using the first rotary shaft as a rotation axis.
