  • FPC fixing structure for two-axis hinge mechanism
    Patent number: 8434198
    Abstract: First and second FPC fixing members 12, 13 are fixed within a boss 6 on a second axis Y, and one end of the second member 13 projects to the back of a hinge base 8. An FPC wiring fixing section 26 is fixed on the back of the base 8 on a first axis X. The fixing members pass an FPC 25 from the base 8 side to the side of a monitor 3 to hold the FPC linearly on the axis Y, and are turned integrally with a monitor mounting base 14. The fixing members curve outside the axis Y the FPC 25 that is led out in the direction orthogonal to the axis Y from the one end on the base 8 side of the second member 13 to have a deflection allowance, and fix the FPC to the base 8.
