Abstract
In a personal digital assistant assembly, a coupling block disposed on an operating surface of a base module is rotatable about a pivot axle transverse to the operating surface. An elongated hinge unit interconnects pivotally a connecting end of a personal digital assistant and the coupling block such that the personal digital assistant is rotatable about a longitudinal axis parallel to the operating surface and transverse to the pivot axle and is movable to a desired angular position relative to the coupling block. The coupling block is movable between an expanded position, where the personal digital assistant uncovers a user input unit on the operating surface of the base module, and a closed position, where the personal digital assistant is capable of covering the user input unit.
