Abstract

An electronic device such as a radiotelephone (100) includes a bottom housing (108) defining a first hinge aperture (2207) and a slot (2208) adjacent the first hinge aperture. A top housing (102) defines a second hinge aperture (2223) having an inner rotation surface (2226). A shaft (2210) extends from the first housing at the first hinge aperture. The shaft is sized for insertion in the second hinge aperture and terminates in a bearing surface (2216), the inner rotation surface pivoting on the bearing surface as the second housing moves in relation to the first housing. The shaft and the bearing surface both define a shaft slot (2218) aligned with the slot in the first housing for routing a flexible circuit element (216) between the first housing and the second housing.
