Abstract:
1. A dual-axis hinge mechanism, comprising: a fixed bracket; a pivot shaft rotatably extended through the fixed bracket; a first limiting member rotatably sleeved on the pivot shaft; a second limiting member non-rotatably sleeved on the pivot shaft, the second limiting member being rotated a rotatable angle following the pivot shaft, and then driving the first limiting member to rotate together with the second limiting member; wherein the total of the rotatable angle of the second limiting member relative to the first limiting member and the rotatable angle of the first limiting member relative to the fixed bracket is 360 degrees, the first limiting member forms a latching protrusion and a limiting tab; the second limiting member forms a latching tab; the dual-axis hinge mechanism further comprises a restricting module assembled on the fixed bracket, the restricting module comprises a first restricting member and a second restricting member; the second limiting member further forms a limiting protrusion; the limiting tab of the first limiting member abuts the first restricting member to prevent the pivot shaft from rotating further in a first direction; the limiting protrusion of the second limiting member abuts the second restricting member to prevent the pivot shaft from rotating further in a second direction.
