Hinge apparatus and computing apparatus having the same

摘要

A hinge apparatus connects a first member and a second member to each other so that the first and second members are mutually foldable, and is usable with a computing apparatus. The hinge apparatus includes first and second main gears which are disposed on the first and the second members, respectively, a plurality of idle gears which are disposed between the first and the second main gears so that the first and the second main gears are interlocked with each other, and a pressure member which reinforces a mesh force between the first and the second main gears and the plurality of idle gears.

1. A hinge apparatus which connects a first member and a second member to each other so that the first and the second member are mutually foldable, the hinge apparatus comprising:
first and second main gears disposed on the first and the second members, respectively, to rotate according to a relative rotation of the first and second members; a plurality of idle gears disposed between the first and the second main gears so that the first and the second main gears are interlocked with each other; and a pressure member disposed between the first and second main gears and in communication with the plurality of idle gears, the pressure member biasing the plurality of idle gears towards each other to reinforce a mesh force between the first and the second main gears and the plurality of idle gears.
