ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING HINGE COVER Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC H04M1/02 G06F1/16 

FIELD: portable user communication devices.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to folding devices with flexible display. First housing and second housing of the device are rotatably coupled and rotatable between a first position in which the second housing is at least partially facing the first housing, and a second position in which the second housing is unfolded at a predetermined angle from the first position. Device comprises a hinge module, including a hinge providing at least one folding axis and connecting the first housing and the second housing with possibility of rotation around the folding axis, and a hinge cover disposed between the first housing and the second housing and attached to surrounding at least a portion of the hinge module. In addition, in the second position, the hinge cover is made with possibility of being closed by the first housing and the second housing, and at least one part of the hinge cover is made with possibility of movement or deformation relative to the hinge module depending on movement or rotation of the first housing and the second housing.

EFFECT: preventing height difference at the boundary between the components of the device so that, being open to the outside, the outer surface of the hinge cover forms a continuous inclined surface or a curved surface with the outer surfaces of the housings, thereby improving the gripping sensation and softening the tactile sensation of non-uniformity at the boundary between the components.
