New Apple Patent granted: more complex and sophisticated hinge Design for foldable iPhone

CTOnews.com, February 17 (Xinhua)-- according to the latest list released by the US Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple has once again obtained a patent related to collapsible phones. The patent improves the previous hinge design and designs more complex hinges for the collapsible iPhone.

In Apple's previous foldable iPhone patent, the hinge design was usually 3-4 pinions rotating around a larger gear. However, in this project called "Hinges for Folding Display Devices" (a variety of hinges designed for collapsible screens), a complex hinge design consisting of four pairs of pinions and six static parts is mentioned.

Compared with the previous large hinge structure, this hinge system composed of multiple pinions is more complex and more demanding, but this hinge can improve the experience. Interested CTOnews.com netizens can visit here for more detailed information.
