Patent ID: 7619682

Claim:
A pivot hinge mechanism supporting a main body and pivotable unit pivotably in relation to each other, the pivot hinge mechanism comprising: a stationary plate attached to one of the main body and pivotable unit; rotating plates attached to the other of the main body and pivotable unit; and a spindle supporting the rotating plates rotatably about an axis of rotation in relation to the stationary plate, the stationary and rotating plates including openings extending completely through the stationary and rotating plates in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation through which openings a harness routed between the main body and rotating portion passes; and the opening in the stationary plate and those in the rotating plates being arranged at least partially overlapping each other in the direction parallel to the axis of rotation along an angular range in which the pivotable unit is pivoted in relation to the main body, the opening in the stationary plate and those in the rotating plates being eccentric to the axis of rotation.
