Patent attributes
A hinge structure connected between a first body and a second body of an electronic device is provided. The first and the second bodies rotate by the hinge structure to be opened or closed relatively. The hinge structure includes a rotating shaft pivoted to the first body, a moving member sleeving on the rotating shaft and adapted to be moved axially about and rotated along with the rotating shaft, and a damping member disposed on the moving member. The moving member has a rail coupled with a guiding member of the first body. The second body rotates relative to the first body via the rotating shaft, and the guiding member moves along the rail to move the moving member along the rotating shaft axially, such that the moving member drives the damping member to be interfered with or released from the first body.
