Abstract

See full text

A flip cover actuation assembly for actuating a flip cover is movably mounted on a base. The flip cover actuation assembly has a locking means, a hinge means, a drive shaft and a drive member. The drive shaft has a fitting portion. The hinge means is installed around the fitting portion. An engagement structure is provided on a receiving portion of the hinge means. The engagement structure enables the receiving portion and the fitting portion to rotatably engage or separate such that the drive shaft moves the flip cover relative to the hinge means. The locking or releasing of the flip cover and the opening and closing of the flip cover is achieved by the drive shaft with the drive member. In addition, the releasing and the opening of the flip cover are achieved at different times to avoid any interferences.
