  • MULTI-FUNCTION TWO PANNEL DEVICE WITH 360 RELATIVE MOTION
    Publication number: 20070164924
    Abstract: A multi-function electronic device is designed to provide a wide variety of functions. The device consists of two panels attached for relative movement by a hinge. The hinge provides a range of movement of a full 360°. The various functions are accessed by moving the relative position of the panels from 0°, to 165°, to 180°, to 300°, to 360°. Particular functions are correlated to panel orientations which ergonomically suit the selected functions.
