Abstract: A hinge assembly for an electronic device, the hinge assembly being moveable between an unfolded position and at least a first folded end position, and comprising a row of interconnected and abutting hinge blades and at least one linear actuator. The hinge blades are aligned in a common plane when the hinge assembly is in the unfolded position, each hinge blade being rotated relative neighboring hinge blades around a first hinge assembly rotation axis, when the hinge assembly is moved to the first folded end position. The linear actuator comprises a rotation shaft and a plurality of linear drive arrangements having different lengths. The rotation shaft extends in parallel with the first hinge assembly rotation axis and comprises sections having different diameters.

The connection may include at least one slot and at least one wedge-shaped groove which is extending from the at least one slot and tapered in a direction of the center axis. The connector may include at least one corresponding wedge-shaped protrusion. The at least one corresponding wedge-shaped protrusion may include a resilient contact blade which can interlock with the at least one wedge-shaped groove.

Abstract: A plate arrangement for change of direction in a chain hinge assembly, the plate arrangement comprising a first hinge plate comprising one center pivot axis, and a second hinge plate comprising a center pivot axis and two end pivot axes, the end pivot axes being arranged at opposite sides of the center pivot axis. The first hinge plate and the second hinge plate are pivotally interconnected such that the center pivot axis of the first hinge plate coincides with the center pivot axis of the second hinge plate. The end pivot axes of the second hinge plate are adapted for pivotally connecting to first and second further elements such that the further elements may pivot in a direction which is opposite of a pivoting direction of the first hinge plate, in relation to the second hinge plate.
