  • Patent number: 6381126
    Abstract: A lid assembly that includes a lid and a coupling mechanism for coupling the lid to a palmtop computer system. The coupling mechanism is double jointed so as to move the lid from a closed position to an open position. In one embodiment, the coupling mechanism includes a plate and two clips that attach to the plate such that the clips rotate relative to the plate. The plate couples to the lid such that the lid rotates relative to the plate. In the closed position, the lid covers the display of the palmtop computer system. The lid is movable into the open position. In the open position, the display is uncovered and the lid is disposed against the rear side of the palmtop computer system. In one embodiment, the lid includes an opaque region and a non-opaque region. The non-opaque region allows for viewing a portion of the display of the palmtop computer while the lid is in the closed position.
