A hinge system of a portable wireless terminal not only enables a folder to be opened from a terminal body but also enables front and rear surfaces of a folder of a portable wireless terminal to be turned over. The hinge system a folder-opening hinge module and a rotary-type hinge module, the cooperation of which realizes the above operation. The rotary-type hinge module includes a hinge housing rotatably assembled with the terminal body, a supporting shaft fixed to the hinge housing, and a rotary shaft rotatably assembled with the supporting shaft. The rotary shaft is connected with the folder and can be rotated with respect to the terminal body, thereby enabling the folder to be turned over in a state that the folder is opened.

A hinge device of a flip type mobile telephone including a body and a flip cover with a speaker mounted thereon. In the hinge device, a hinge assembly includes a spring connector pin; a hinge shaft having at least one open end, a pair of opposite protrusions, a pair of opposite indents, and a cylindrical inner wall into which the connector pin is pressed, the shaft being movable along a rotation axis; a hinge housing having at least one open end into which the hinge shaft is inserted; guide means for enabling the hinge shaft to move rectilinearly in the hinge housing; and securing means for preventing separation of the hinge shaft from the hinge housing. The hinge device further includes a coupling member having a pair of opposite protrusions and a pair of opposite indents, for keeping in sliding surface contact with the hinge shaft; and conducting means interposed between the hinge assembly and the coupling member, for electrically connecting the speaker to a printed circuit board housed within the body. In this manner, the hinge device can connect the speaker mounted on the flip cover to the body, thus contributing to miniaturization of the mobile telephone.

A device for electrically connecting a microphone mounted on a flip cover to an audio circuit of a telephone body. The flip cover is detachable from the telephone body when an excessive force is applied thereto. A hinge apparatus includes two hinge modules each including a hinge housing, a hinge shaft having a protrusion at an end and a shaft at another end, being assembled into the hinge housing; conductive means fixedly pressed into a through hole formed along an axis of the hinge shaft; a cam hinge having opposing protrusions and opposing indents formed alternately at one side, engaging with the hinge shaft, and a through hole formed along the axis of the hinge shaft; a hinge cover mounted so as to cover an end of the hinge housing, the hinge cover having a through hole formed along the axis of the hinge shaft, through which an electric wire passes; and a coil spring intervening between the cam hinge and the hinge cover to provide an elastic force. The flip cover includes a first connection terminal having a plane surface, a curved surface and a tension part, wherein the tension part maintains electrical contact with the conductive means, the first connection terminal being installed between a neck and a knuckle; and a microphone mounted on the flip cover, being connected to the first connection terminal via the electric wire, whereby the microphone is electrically connected to an audio circuit of the telephone body.
