ABSTRACT:
A portable electronic device having a stationary housing enclosing a first electric circuit and a pivotable housing enclosing a second electric circuit, uses a mechanical and electrical interconnection assembly for interconnecting the two housings and circuits. The mechanical assembly includes a pivot and friction assembly that pivotally couples the stationary and pivotal housings together, and allows the pivotable housing to be held at a variety of angular orientations with respect to the stationary housing. The electrical assembly includes an electrical connector of a flexible web type that pivotally and electrically connects the first and second electric circuits together. Rather than pivoting at the pivot point or axis, the electrical connector pivots about or along a relatively great distance compared to the pivot axis, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of the electrical conductor breaking at the pivot.
