    摘要: A collapsible housing including a first housing having a magnetic member (108) carried by the first housing (110). A slide enabling member (104) is rotatably coupled to the first housing by a hinge (102), the slide enabling member rotating about a rotation axis (106) of the hinge and, the slide enabling member extending radially from the rotation axis. A second housing (120) is slideably coupled to the slide enabling member such that the second housing slides along the slide enabling member. The housing further includes an engaging member (112) carried by the second housing and selectively engageable to the magnetic member. A first urging member (118) is coupled between the first housing and the slide enabling member, the first urging member urging the slide enabling member to rotate about the rotation axis relative to the first housing. A second urging member (122) is coupled between the second housing and the slide enabling member, the urging member urging the second housing to laterally slide along the slide enabling member in a radial direction relative to the rotation axis.

    摘要: The present invention provides a mechanism (300, 400) and method (500) for rotating at least a first and second housing elements (120, 220) of a device (100) with respect to one another. The first and second housing elements (120, 240) have a common axis of rotation (190), which is substantially perpendicular to a front surface of the device (100). The mechanism (300, 400) includes a wheel (310, 410) having a rounded outer edge (312, 412), which engages a rounded surface (144) of a first housing element (220), which extends at least partly around the axis of rotation (190). The wheel (310, 410) is coupled to the second housing element (120) at a center point (316, 416) about which the wheel (310, 410) is adapted to rotate. The wheel (310, 410) further includes a contact point (318, 418) offset from a center point (316, 416). The mechanism (300, 400) further includes a tension device (320, 420) having a relatively fixed end (324, 424) and a relatively free end (322, 422), which when preloaded, is adapted for supplying a force. The mechanism (300, 400) still further includes a linkage (330, 430) coupled between the free end (322, 422) of the tension device (320, 420) and the offset contact point (318, 418) of the wheel (310, 410) for biasing the wheel (310, 410) toward rotation, and the rotation of the first and second housing elements (120, 220) relative to one another.

    摘要: A user friendly display structure (100) for an electronic device (102), such as a touch screen hand held communications device, is provided with piezoelectric elements (126) bonded or otherwise secured directly to the back of a display module (112) generates effective haptics and sound localized to the display area. Actuation of piezoelectric elements (126) in the display structure (100) generates bending motion of the entire display structure (100) which provides haptics feedback to fingers operating on the display structure (100) as well as generates sound by turning part or the entire display into a speaker.

    摘要: A collapsible device having first housing (110) rotateably coupled to a second housing (120) so as to rotate from a closed position (103) to an open position (200), wherein the first housing is angularly displaced from the second housing, for example in a wireless communications device. The first housing also moves relative to the second housing from a first closed position (101) to a second closed position (103). From the second closed position the first housing may rotate relative to the second housing about a rotation axis 106. In one embodiment the collapsible housing includes a slide enabling member that is rotatably coupled to the hinge and enables the first housing to move from the first closed position to the second closed position.
