Abstract
A hinge apparatus for a foldable telephone (100) includes a body portion (101) and a flip element (103). The flip element (103) is held in a closed (FIG. 3A) and a open (FIG. 3B) position relative to the body portion (101) by an enclosed follower (201) which follows recesses (301 and 303) in two hinge shafts (205 and 207) integral to the hinge portion (112) of the flip element (103). The apparatus is assembled along a common axis (233) from a single direction. The flip element (103) is held tight against a keypad (109) of the body portion (101) in its closed position (FIG. 3A). The flip element (103) is secured in its open position (FIG. 3B) with no excessive play.
