摘要： An electronic apparatus (for example, a portable computer) which includes two portions (for example a display and a keyboard) which are connected, electrically, by a flexible cable. The apparatus provides a unique coupling scheme wherein a movable member is used which moves (for example, rotationally) on at least a part of each of the two portions in a manner substantially independent of the motion of such parts. The flexible cable passes through this member (through opposite openings in the sides thereof) and, significantly, engages the member during movement (pivotal) of one/both of the two portions to assist in effecting the member's rotation. Such movement is attained without harm to the cable, while assuring a compact design for the final product incorporating the coupling structure.

摘要翻译： 电子装置（例如，便携式计算机），其包括通过柔性电缆电连接的两个部分（例如显示器和键盘）。 该装置提供独特的耦合方案，其中使用可移动构件，其以基本上不依赖于这些部件的运动的方式（例如，旋转地）移动到两个部分中的每一个的至少一部分上。 柔性电缆穿过该构件（通过其侧面中的相对的开口），并且在两个部分中的一个/两个部分的运动（枢转）期间，显着地接合构件，以有助于实现构件的旋转。 在不损害电缆的同时实现这种移动，同时确保结合了联接结构的最终产品的紧凑设计。
