Abstract:
1. A hinge assembly for an electronic device having a body and a cover, said hinge assembly comprising: a conductive sleeve comprising two ends and at least one of the ends is an open end, at least one tab formed adjacent to the open end and blocking the open end, said sleeve adapted to be non-rotatable connected to said cover; a first member rotatable received in the sleeve and having a head portion exposed through one of the ends and adapted to be connected to said body; a conductive member positioned on the first member; a second member slidably received in said sleeve and located next to the first member, one of the first member and the second member having a cam, the other of the first member and the second member having a cam follower interacting with the cam so that when the first member rotates about an axis the second member moves linearly along the axis; a resilient member being fitted in the sleeve and one end thereof abutting one of the first member and the second member to bias the first member and the second member into contact with each other; wherein the conductive sleeve is in contact with contacting the conductive member for conducting static charges to a grounding circuit in the electronic device.
