Abstract: Flexible hinge and removable attachment techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a flexible hinge is configured to communicatively and physically couple an input device to a computing device and may implement functionality such as a support layer and minimum bend radius. The input device may also include functionality to promote a secure physical connection between the input device and the computing device. One example of this includes use of one or more protrusions that are configured to be removed from respective cavities of the computing device along a particular axis but mechanically bind along other axes. Other techniques include use of a laminate structure to form a connection portion of the input device.

Abstract translation: 描述了灵活的铰链和可拆卸附接技术。 在一个或多个实现中，柔性铰链被配置为将输入设备通信地和物理地耦合到计算设备，并且可以实现诸如支持层和最小弯曲半径之类的功能。 输入设备还可以包括促进输入设备和计算设备之间的安全物理连接的功能。 一个实例包括使用一个或多个突起，其被构造成沿着特定轴线从计算设备的相应空腔移除，但是沿其它轴线机械地结合。 其他技术包括使用层压结构形成输入装置的连接部分。
