Floating camera module

An electronic device, comprising:

• a first housing including a first inner face and a first outer face;
• a second housing including a second inner face and a second outer face;
• a hinge pivotably connecting the first housing to the second housing for rotation between at least a folded configuration and an open configuration, wherein the first inner face is adjacent the second inner face in the folded configuration;
• a camera having a lens side and a sensor side;
• and
• a linkage floatably holding the camera relative to first housing, the linkage allowing the sensor side to extend from the first inner face in the open configuration, and the linkage allowing the lens side to extend from the first outer face in the folded configuration.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a front side;
• a back side separated from the front side by a device thickness;
• a camera having a lens side and a sensor side;
• and
• a linkage floatably holding the camera relative to the front side and the back side, the linkage including a gasket with a resilient flange that allows the sensor side to move to extend from the front side responsive to force on the lens side of the camera and the lens side to move to extend from the back side responsive to force on the sensor side of the camera, the resilient flange including a first length extending substantially parallel to a direction of movement of the camera, a second length extending substantially parallel to the first length, and a bend between the first length and the second length, the resilient flange configured to roll such that the first length is lengthened while the second length is shortened during movement of the camera in a first direction, and the resilient flange configured to roll such that the first length is shortened while the second length is lengthened during movement of the camera in a second, opposite direction.
