Abstract

See full text

One aspect is an inertial lock friction hinge, including a shaft assembly having a shaft assembly recess and a friction assembly having a friction assembly recess. The shaft assembly and the friction assembly are rotatably coupled for relative frictional rotation. The hinge includes a restraining component positioned within the hinge such that when the hinge is in an unlocked condition the restraining component is not engaged with both the friction assembly recess and the shaft assembly recess so that the shaft assembly and the friction assembly are allowed to rotate relative to each. The restraining component is positioned such that when the inertial lock friction hinge is in a locked condition the restraining component is at least partially engaged with both the friction assembly recess and the shaft assembly recess so that the shaft assembly and the friction assembly are locked and prevented from relative rotation by the restraining component.
