ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are hinges with a single interface or single seam between two halves of the hinge, configured to route through the hinge a flexible circuit element to couple electronic circuitry in a first housing with electronic circuitry in a second housing. An axial shaft with an elongated slot is received by the two halves of the hinge. The shaft extends at least across a portion of the width of the first housing. To route the flexible circuit element, the elongated slot is configured to hold fixed the midsection of the flex cable, relative to the shaft during rotation of the shaft. The shaft has an outer circumference, and at least a portion of the shaft defines a shallow groove at the outer circumference. A portion of the flexible circuit element is wrapped around the shaft forming a radial service loop at the shallow groove to accommodate rotation of the shaft.
