Abstract

The DC60 hinge mechanism for separable book pages consists of a housing and a ring component for holding the separable book pages, which can move relative to the housing between the open and closed positions. The actuation system moves the ring component, including the hinge plate which is rotatably mounted on the housing, and a lever that actsuates the rotational movement of the hinge plate in at least one direction (e.g., moving the hinge plate and the ring mechanism to the open position). The lever is connected to a moving rod which moves longitudinally along the housing between the position that restricts the rotational movement of the hinge plate and the position that allows rotational movement of the hinge plate. At least one lever and the hinge plate are deformed as the lever moves to resist the rotational movement of the hinge plate until the lever may move the moving rod until it no longer restricts the movement of the hinge plate. The hinge mechanism for separable book pages consists of a housing and a ring component for holding the separable book pages, which can move relative to the housing between the open and closed positions. The actuation system moves the ring component, including the hinge plate which is rotatably mounted on the housing, and a lever that actsuates the rotational movement of the hinge plate in at least one direction. (For example, moving the hinge plate and ring mechanism to the open position) A lever is connected to a movable rod which moves longitudinally along the housing between the position that restricts the rotational movement of the hinge plate and the position that allows rotational movement of the hinge plate. At least one lever and the hinge plate will deform as the lever moves to dampen the rotational movement of the hinge plate until it may move the movable rod until it no longer restricts the movement of the hinge plate.

Claims (9)

All claims which will not appear on the advertisement page: 1. Ring mechanism (1) for holding detachable book sheets. The mechanism consists of: the housing (11), the rings (13) for holding detachable book sheets. Each ring, including the first and second ring pieces, at least one ring piece is capable of relative movement with respect to the housing and the other ring pieces between the closed and open positions. In the closed position, the two ring pieces form a relatively continuous closed loop for allowing the detachable book sheets held by the rings to be moved along the rings from one ring piece to the other, and in the open position, the two ring pieces form a discontinuous open loop for adding or removing detachable book sheets from the rings. The actuation system for moving at least one such ring piece between the closed and open positions. The actuation system consists of the first and second hinge plates (27a,27b) supported by the housing for rotational movement relative to the housing, one such ring piece mounted on the first hinge plate, and an actuator (15) mounted on the housing for The relative motion to the housing causes rotational movement of the hinge plate. An actuation system is employed to deform the hinge plate through actuator movement, thereby damping the rotational movement of the hinge plate from the actuator's motion. 2. The ring mechanism as described in claim 1, where the actuator is deployed to self-regenerate during the operation of the ring mechanism in the movement of the ring mechanism between the closed and open positions. 3. The ring mechanism as described in claim 2, where the actuator consists of a first part folded and connected to a second part. 4. The ring mechanism as specified in claim 3, where the first and second parts are formed into a single piece. 5. The ring mechanism as described in claim 3, in which the first and second parts move relative to each other as the ring segments move between such closed and such open positions. 6. The ring mechanism as described in claim 5, where the actuator is deformed by relative movement to the case, causing relative movement of the first and second parts. 7. The ring mechanism as specified in claim 3 also includes a movable rod connected to one part of the actuator for motion; with that, the movable rod causes rotational motion of the hinge plate. 8. The ring mechanism as specified in claim 7, where the moving rod shall consist of a stopper, the moving rod and a stopper that prevents the rotational movement of the hinge plate when the ring mechanism is in the closed position. 9. An annular mechanism as specified in claim 3, where the second part of the actuator is clamped to a hinge plate for driving the hinge plate to move the annular part from the closed to the open position. 1 An annular mechanism as specified in claim 3, where the first and second parts of the actuator are connected by an existing hinge. 1 An annular mechanism as specified in claim 3, where the actuator includes a channel installed between the first and second parts of the actuator. The channel has an open and a closed structure. The channel is in the open structure when the annular part is in both the open and closed positions. The channel is in the closed structure when the annular part is in transmission between the open and closed positions. 1 An annular mechanism as specified in claim 1, where the hinge plate is deployed to deform when clamped by the actuator when the actuator causes a rotational movement of the hinge plate that moves the annular part from the closed to the open position. 1 An annular mechanism as specified in claim 12 also includes a movable rod. It can be moved by an actuator between the locked position, which prevents rotational movement of the hinge plate, and the unlocked position, which allows rotational movement of the hinge plate. The hinge plate is deformed to dampen the rotational movement of the hinge plate so that the lever may move the moving rod to the unlocked position. 1 The ring mechanism as described in Reputation 13 also includes a locking element connected to the moving rod for either combined movement with the rotational movement restriction of the hinge plate or allowing rotational movement of the hinge plate. Such hinge plate is deformed by an actuator along the locking element until the locking element moves to the unlocked position and the hinge plate rotates to open the ring element. 1 The ring mechanism as described in Reputation 12 in which each hinge plate consists of a main body and fingers extending from the end of the hinge plate closest to the actuator. The fingers are narrower than the main body. 1 The ring mechanism as described in Reputation 1 in which the actuator includes a rounded head that is clamped to the hinge plate when the ring element is in the closed position and clamped to the plate. The hinge mechanism, when the ring element is in the open position, as described in Reputation 1, also includes a locking element that can be moved by an actuator between the locked position, which prevents rotational movement of the hinge plate, and the unlocked position, which allows rotational movement of the hinge plate. The locking element is independent of any forces pulling to move the locking element from the locked position towards the unlocked position and is independent of any forces pulling to move the locking element from the unlocked position towards the locked position. 1. The ring mechanism as described in Reputation 1, where the actuator is a lever. 1. The ring mechanism as described in Reputation 1, in conjunction with the book cover, the ring mechanism is mounted on the book cover. The book cover is folded for movement to the selectable book cover and unfolds the detachable book sheets when stored on the ring mechanism. 2. Ring mechanism for storing detachable book sheets. A mechanism consisting of: a housing; a hinge plate supported by the housing for rotational movement relative to the housing; rings for holding detachable book sheets. Each ring... This includes the first and second ring components. The first ring component is mounted on the first hinge plate and moves via the rotational movement of the first hinge plate relative to the second ring component between the closed and open positions. In the closed position, the two ring components form a relatively continuous closed loop allowing the detachable book panels held by the rings to move along the rings from one ring component to the other. In the open position, the two ring components form a discontinuous open loop for adding or removing detachable book panels from the rings. An actuator system is mounted on the housing for movement relative to the housing to generate the rotational movement of the hinge plates. The actuator is self-reshaping during the operation of the ring mechanism to move the ring mechanism between the closed and open positions.
