  • Patent number: 7353048
    Abstract: A mobile terminal having three parts rotatably interconnected by hinges. The terminal can be a mobile telephone having an operative position where a microphone and a loudspeaker are positioned for conversation. When not in operation, the terminal may be positioned around a user's wrist in a safe manner. Removing the terminal from the wrist requires operation of a release means or the overcoming of a predetermined force, which is a safety measure of the hinges and the terminal. The hinges provide a combination of snap or automatic rotation and freely selective rotational positions of the parts of the terminal.

  • Publication number: 20070289097
    Abstract: A hinge for use in an electronic device has an inner hinge part and an outer hinge part for providing rotatability between two device parts, allowing the device to open and close, for example. The inner hinge part has a peripheral surface defining the axis for rotation and a through channel along the axis for cable routing from one device part to another, for example. The peripheral surface of the inner hinge part has a groove substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis. On the outer hinge part, a ball bearing attached to one end of a spring is used to engage with the groove. The spring is disposed in a channel in the outer hinge part with another end of the spring secured on the outer part by a pin. One or more indents on the groove enable click and stop positions of the hinge.
