Abstract

A hinge device with a plurality of hinge main bodies and a plurality of connecting parts is disclosed. Each hinge main body aligns along a first direction and has two connecting shafts and a connecting portion. The two ends of the connecting portion connect to the two connecting shafts. Each connecting part is located between the hinge main bodies and respectively connected to the connecting shafts of different hinge main bodies such that each hinge main body can turn to multiple angles relative to each connecting part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A hinge device comprising:
a plurality of hinge main bodies, wherein each of the hinge main bodies is aligned along a first direction, and each of the hinge main bodies comprises two connecting shafts and a connecting portion, the two ends of the connecting portion being respectively connected to the two connecting shafts; and a plurality of connecting parts, wherein each of the connecting parts is located between each of the hinge main bodies, each of the connecting parts being respectively connected to the neighboring connecting shaft of the different hinge main bodies such that each of the hinge main bodies can turn to multiple angles relative to each of the connecting parts.

2 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the connecting parts comprises a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, each of the first connecting portions and each of the second connecting portions being respectively connected to the neighboring connecting shaft of different hinge main bodies to form a connection of the two neighboring hinge main bodies.

3 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each of the hinge main bodies comprises a plurality of holes, each of the holes being located divergently between the two connecting shafts, and a position of each of the holes being corresponded to each of the connecting parts, such that when each of the hinge main bodies turns relative to each of the connecting parts, an actuation space is provided for each of the first connecting portions or each of the second connecting portions.

4 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two connecting shafts extend along a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction.

5 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each of the connecting parts is arranged along the first direction and the second direction at the same time, and each of the connecting parts is respectively connected to the neighboring connecting shaft of a different hinge main body.

6 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the hinge device comprises a plurality of separating parts, each of the separating parts being located divergently in each of the connecting shafts along the second direction and located between the two neighboring connecting parts.

7 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hinge device comprises a plurality of protection covers, each of the protection covers being respectively located at the two opposite ends of each of the hinge main bodies.

8 . A hinge main body, comprising:
two connecting shafts, wherein the two connecting shafts are parallel to each other; a plurality of connecting portions, wherein the two ends of each of the connecting portions are respectively connected to the two connecting shafts; and a plurality of holes, wherein each of the holes is located divergently between the two neighboring connecting portions.

9 . A hinge device, comprising:
a plurality of hinge main bodies as claimed in claim 8 ; and a plurality of connecting parts, wherein each of the connecting parts is located between each of the hinge main bodies, and each of the connecting parts is respectively connected to the neighboring connecting shaft of another hinge main body such that each of the hinge main bodies can turn to multiple angles relative to each of the connecting parts.

10 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a position of each of the holes is corresponded to each of the connecting parts, such that when each of the hinge main bodies turns relative to each of the connecting parts, an actuation space is provided for each of the connecting parts.
