Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with upper and lower housing portions that are separated by a gap. Hinge structures may allow the upper housing portion to rotate between a closed position and an open position. A flexible printed circuit in the electronic device may be coupled between components in the upper housing portion such as the display and components in the lower housing portion and may span the gap. A hinge gap cover may cover the gap and may overlap the flexible printed circuit to block the flexible printed circuit from view when the upper housing portion is in the closed position. The hinge gap cover may be formed from a layer of radio-transparent material that is rotatably coupled to the upper housing portion and that is biased towards the lower housing with a spring structure.

Abstract translation: 电子设备可以设置有被间隙分开的上壳体部分和下壳体部分。 铰链结构可以允许上壳体部分在关闭位置和打开位置之间旋转。 电子设备中的柔性印刷电路可以联接在上壳体部分中的部件之间，例如显示器和下壳体部分中的部件，并且可以跨越间隙。 铰链间隙盖可以覆盖间隙并且可以与柔性印刷电路重叠，以在上壳体部分处于关闭位置时阻止柔性印刷电路的视野。 铰链间隙盖可以由可透射耦合到上壳体部分并且以弹簧结构朝向下壳体偏置的无线电透明材料层形成。
