Abstract: The presently disclosed compliant magnetic locking mechanisms provide mechanism(s) and method(s) for latching a cover (e.g., a rear cover) to a device body that is quick assembling, low cost, easily recyclable, secure, and/or leaves no exposed fasteners. A bi-stable (or mono-stable) compliant mechanism inside the cover actuates a set of latches in and out. This action serves to lock and unlock the cover or other removable portion of the computing device. The compliant magnetic locking mechanisms may contain an array of magnets, which can be used in conjunction with a magnetic key to actuate the compliant mechanism from the exterior.

Abstract: A computing device includes a first display-supporting frame rotatably coupled to a second display-supporting frame along a hinge axis via a hinge assembly comprising a central spine extending parallel to the hinge axis. A flexible display is supported by the first display-supporting frame and the second display-supporting frame. A spine cover plate extends over the central spine and is moveably coupled to the hinge assembly for translation relative to the central spine as the first display-supporting frame is rotated relative to the second display-supporting frame.
