ABSTRACT:
A hinge assembly rotatably connects one end of a cover to a phone body for rotation about a hinge axis between a closed position and an open position. The hinge assembly has a first part secured to the phone body, a second part rotatably secured to the first hinge part and rigidly secured to the cover, and a hinge release shaft secured against rotation relative to the first hinge part and extending into the second hinge part. The release shaft and second hinge part have interengageable latch formations for preventing rotation between the hinge parts when the cover is in the closed position. The release shaft is movable between an extended position in which latch formations engage and a retracted position in which the latch formations are released. A spring part rotates the cover into the open position when the latch is released. A manual override of the latch is provided.
