Disclosed herein is an apparatus. The apparatus includes a first housing section, electronic circuitry, and a second housing section. The first housing section forms a front face and a first side of the apparatus. The electronic circuitry is mounted in the first housing section. The second housing section is movably connected to the first housing section. The second housing section is configured to be movable between a first position and a second position. The second housing section partially houses components from the first housing section when the second housing section is in the first position. The second housing section forms a majority of a back face of the apparatus when the second housing section is in the first position.

Electronic device with integrated slide

A portable electronic device including a device printed wiring board; an electrical connector connected to the device printed wiring board; and a camera coupled to the device printed wiring board by the electrical connector at a sliding height connection. The sliding height connection allows the camera to slide relative to the electrical connector along a first axis to allow positioning of the camera relative to the electrical connector at one of a plurality of different heights along the first axis.

Portable electronic device with camera

The present invention relates to hinge mechanisms for electronic devices with folding casings and to a double articulated hinge mechanism for aforesaid electronic devices offering advantageous characteristics for electric conductors to be passed through the inventive hinge mechanism. The mechanism allows pivoted junction of at least two casing parts constituting a folding casing of an electronic device, wherein each casing part includes electric components. The hinge mechanism has at least a hinge body component and a flexible electrical conductor for connecting the electronic components included by different casing parts. The hinge body component enables establishing two independent, substantially parallel and at a predefined distance separated pivot axes. Further the hinge body component provides a passage, which is adapted to receive the flexible electrical conductor for being routed though the hinge mechanism. Due to the passage, the flexible electrical conductor is held permanently in a predefined shape of the passage.

Double articulated hinge mechanism for electronic devices

A hinge cover mechanism for an electric device with a folding casing with at least a first casing part and a second casing part adjoined by a hinge mechanism includes a hinge cover component having at least first pivot means which cooperate with the second casing part to allow movement of the hinge cover component about a first cover pivot axis and second pivot means which cooperate with the first casing part to allow both linear movement of the hinge cover component and movement of the hinge cover component about a second cover pivot axis.

Hinge cover mechanism for folding casings with lift function

An expansion card, preferably a wireless communication device, which card is arranged to be fitted in the expansion card connection of an electronic device and which comprises a frame part. In the invention, the card is provided with an antenna rod structure comprising a first end equipped with an antenna part and a second end to be fitted movably inside said frame part, wherein said antenna part is arranged to be movable for inserting the antenna part in said card and for extending the first end outside said card. The arrangement of the invention for setting and guiding the antenna structure to different positions comprises locking means which comprise a position lever arranged to be deflected to the side direction and to return and arranged in a functional connection with designed lever guides, which lever guides are arranged upon inserting said antenna structure to deflect said position lever to a position which prevents the pushing out of said antenna structure, and is arranged upon pushing said antenna structure further inwards to allow the return of said position lever to a position which allows the pushing out of said antenna structure.

Wireless communication device card and an antenna structure

The present invention relates to a housing ( ) which is arranged to constitute at least part of the housing structure protecting at least part of e.g. an electronic device and which comprises at least a front surface ( ), wherein said front surface comprises a recess ( ) for the keyboard of said device.

Structure of a housing for an electronic device

A card-like wireless communication device including at least a frame part and an antenna structure, the antenna structure comprising an antenna part and fixing means for arranging the antenna part in connection with the frame part. The card-like wireless communication device also includes a first part and a second part, the parts being arranged to be movable in relation to each other in at least the longitudinal direction of the card-like wireless communication device. The first part is arranged as the frame part and the second part is arranged as the antenna part which can be moved in at least two different positions.

Card-like wireless communication device

The present invention relates to a wireless communication card device, which is for example a standardized expansion card for an electronic device, and which card (CP) comprises at least a cover surface ( ) and a bottom surface ( ) as well as a frame structure ( ) placed therebetween and edging said card (CP), and which card (CP) further comprises at least an antenna structure (ANT). Said antenna structure (ANT) is integrated in said frame structure ( ). The antenna structure (ANT) can be arranged primarily on the outer surface ( ) of said frame surface structure ( ). The card can be for example a PCMCIA or CF card.

Antenna structure of an expansion card for an electronic device

The present invention relates to a cover structure for a wireless communication device arranged at least partly as a standard expansion card, and the cover structure (,) being provided with at least one cover surface (,). The cover surface (,) is provided with at least one elongated bracing groove (G,to G,) for increasing the dimensional stability of the cover surface (,). In an advantageous embodiment of the cover structure (,), the thickness of the cover structure (,) at the bracing groove corresponds substantially to the thickness of the cover structure (,) at the cover surface (,), and the bracing groove (G,to G,) extends substantially over the cover surface (,) and the depth of the bracing groove (G,to G,) is smaller than the thickness of the cover structure (,) at the cover surface (,). The present invention relates also to a method in the manufacture of the cover structure for a wireless communication device. The present invention relates further to a wireless communication device which is arranged at least partly as a standard expansion card and comprises at least one cover structure (,) provided with at least one cover surface (,). In an advantageous embodiment of the wireless communication device, the bracing groove (G,to G,) is arranged transverse to the longitudinal axis of the wireless communication device.
