Abstract
A hinge assembly comprises a first component including a moveable tensioning guide and a second component connected to the first component such that the first and second components are moveable relative to one another. A flexible interconnect runs between the first component and the second component. The flexible interconnect is routed around the moveable tensioning guide of the first component such that movement of the first component relative to the second component causes movement of the tensioning guide. Movement of the tensioning guide modifies a flexible path taken by the flexible interconnect during movement of the first and second components.
