FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING CONNECTION MEMBER FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICAL OBJECTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17963353 titled 'FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING CONNECTION MEMBER FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICAL OBJECTS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a folding mechanism that connects two housings. It includes a hinge housing, a first electrical object in the first housing, a second electrical object in the second housing, and a flexible connection assembly that interconnects the two electrical objects.

  • The electronic device has a folding mechanism that allows it to be folded and unfolded.
  • The folding mechanism includes a hinge housing that accommodates a portion of the hinge device.
  • The first housing contains a first electrical object, while the second housing contains a second electrical object.
  • The flexible connection assembly interconnects the first and second electrical objects.
  • The connection assembly includes a connection member that is located in the hinge housing.
  • A support unit is coupled to the connection member.
  • A sliding connection unit connects the support unit to each of the first and second housings and allows for sliding movement perpendicular to the folding axis.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Foldable smartphones or tablets that can be easily carried and unfolded for use.
  • Portable electronic devices with flexible displays that can be folded for compact storage.
  • Laptops or notebooks with a folding mechanism for improved portability.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a compact and portable solution for electronic devices.
  • Allows for easy folding and unfolding of the device without compromising functionality.
  • Enables the use of flexible displays in electronic devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased portability and convenience for users.
  • Protection of the electronic components when the device is folded.
  • Versatility in terms of device usage and storage options.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing, and a hinge device which foldably interconnects the first housing and the second housing with a folding axis extending in a first direction. A hinge housing accommodates a portion of the hinge device and is disposed between the first housing and the second housing. A first electrical object is disposed in the first housing, a second electrical object is disposed in the second housing, and a flexible connection assembly interconnects the first electrical object and the second electrical object. The connection assembly includes a connection member disposed in the hinge housing. The connection assembly electrically interconnects the first electrical object and the second electrical object. A support unit is coupled to the connection member. A sliding connection unit connects the support unit to each of the first housing and the second housing and is slidable perpendicular to the first direction.
