Method for manufacturing and kit for assembling a personal entertainment device (PED) with double-opening flap
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing an electronic device comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a first substantially planar panel including a display and having a first side edge and a second side edge;
b. hingedly coupling a second substantially planar panel selected from a first set of panels to the first side edge of the first substantially planar panel, the second panel including a first interface; and
c. hingedly coupling a third substantially planar panel selected from a second set of panels to the second side edge of the first panel, the third panel including a second interface, such that when the device is in a first position the first interface and the second interface are obscured and when the device is in a second position the first interface and the second interface are exposed and further wherein an operator can selectively access the first interface alone, the second interface alone, and both the first interface and the second interface when the device is in the second position.

Abstract
In a method of manufacturing an electronic device, a first side edge of a first substantially planar panel including a display is hingedly coupled to a second substantially planar panel selected from a first set of panels. The second panel includes a first interface. A second side edge of the first panel is hingedly coupled to a third substantially planar panel selected from a second set of panels. The third panel includes a second interface. A kit to assemble an electronic device comprises three substantially planar panels. A first panel includes a display. A second panel includes a first interface and is configured to be hingedly coupled to a first side edge of the first panel. A third panel includes a second interface and is configured to be hingedly coupled to a second side edge of the first panel.
