Abstract
Examples of hinge assemblies for a chassis of electronic devices and foldable devices are described. In one example, a hinge assembly comprises a set of rolling members aligned along a folding axis of a device implementing the hinge assembly. The set of rolling members is movable along a curvature of the device when the device is folded and retracted. The hinge assembly further comprises a resilient member to couple the set of rolling members to a sliding member provided within the chassis of the device. The sliding member is movable along a surface of the chassis, and the resilient member is to pull and retract the sliding member towards the folding axis based on the movement of the set of rolling members.
