Magnetic Connector |
| 摘要 |
An apparatus has a first housing and a second housing. By one approach at least the second housing has at least one exterior edge configured as a pivot surface. The first housing includes at least a first magnet and the second housing includes at least a second magnet that is disposed proximal to the aforementioned pivot surface. So configured, the first and second magnet interact with one another and thereby serve as a magnetic connector such that the first housing pivots with respect to the second housing about the pivot surface. By one approach, the first and second housing do not pivotally connect to one another via a mechanical connector. |

1. An apparatus comprising:
a first housing; a second housing having at least one exterior edge configured as a pivot surface, the second housing not being pivotally connected to the first housing via a mechanical connector; at least a first magnet disposed within the first housing; and at least a second magnet disposed within the second housing proximal the pivot surface thereof; wherein the first magnet and the second magnet interact with one another as a magnetic connector such that the first housing pivots with respect to the second housing. |
