Publication number: 20240422929Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a first chassis and a second chassis that are rotatably connected via a hinge device. A graphite sheet is disposed on an inner face of the first chassis to come in contact with a spine component in the 180-degree posture. A graphite sheet is disposed on an inner face of the second chassis to come in contact with a spine component in the 180-degree posture. A flexible board extends across the first and second chassis, and forms substantially S-shaped surplus length absorbing parts having a first folded part and a second folded part that are curved in opposite directions in the chassis. In the graphite sheet, a protective layer at the place where it comes in contact with the surplus length absorbing parts includes a sliding material.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Applicant: LENOVO (SINGAPORE) PTE.

Patent number: 11968806Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes: a chassis; first and second heating elements in the chassis; and a cooling module absorbing the heat. The cooling module includes: a first vapor chamber connected to the first heating element; and a second vapor chamber connected to the second heating element. The first and second vapor chambers are placed adjacent to each other with a step therebetween. The first vapor chamber has a bridge that is a part of at least one of the two first metal plates, the bridge straddling the step and extending toward the second vapor chamber to be connected to a surface of the second vapor chamber. The bridge is not provided with the closed space.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: LENOVO (SINGAPORE) PTE.
