摘要

A hinge apparatus for a foldable telephone (300) includes a body portion (301) and a flip element (303). The flip element (303) is held in a closed and open position relative to the body portion (301) by an enclosed follower (501) which follows recesses (601 and 603) in a first hinge shaft (505). The recesses (601 and 603) are positioned relative to the follower (501) such that a torque of a force (F1 and F2) is applied to the hinge shaft (505) thereby resulting in a low profile flip element (303). Wires (531) dressed from the flip element (303) to the body portion (301) are protected from damage by an arm (805) pulling the wires (531) towards the center of second hinge shaft (527) and by allowing the second hinge shaft (527) to rotate with the flip element (303).
