Abstract
A hinge for moving two parts of an electronic apparatus relative to each other is disclosed. The hinge includes two coolant flow paths helically arranged between inlet and outlet connections as portions of the hinge are rotated relative to each other. Guide plates within the hinge independently rotate to suitably position the conduits of the coolant flow paths in a position of minimum twisting and stretching. The hinge can be incorporated into any electronic apparatus, for example a portable computer.
