| 摘要 | Disclosed are hinges with a single interface or single seam (104) between two halves (110), (112) of the hinge (102), configured to route through the hinge (102) a flexible circuit element (224) to couple electronic circuitry (652) in a first housing (106) with electronic circuitry (654) in a second housing (108). An axial shaft (218) with an elongated slot (346) is received by the two halves (110), (112) of the hinge (102). The shaft (218) extends at least across a portion of the width of the first housing (106). To route the flexible circuit element (224), the elongated slot (346) is configured to hold fixed the midsection (524c) of the flex cable (224), relative to the shaft (218) during rotation of the shaft (218). The shaft (218) has an outer circumference, and at least a portion of the shaft (218) defines a shallow groove (225) at the outer circumference. A portion of the flexible circuit element (224) is wrapped around the shaft (218) forming a radial service loop (224a) at the shallow groove (225) to accommodate rotation of the shaft (218). | ||||||
