1. An electronic device, comprising:
a rotating shaft;
a first enclosure having a first electric-conductor;
a second enclosure having a second electric-conductor, wherein the first enclosure is rotatably connected to the second enclosure through the rotating shaft;
a first elastic component disposed in the first enclosure, and
an elastomer fastened to the first elastic component, wherein an elastic free end of the elastomer is slidably and elastically in contact with and connected to the first enclosure, and wherein
the first electric-conductor is electrically connected to the second electric-conductor through the rotating shaft without going through the first elastic component when the first enclosure and the second enclosure are in an unfolded state; and
the first electric-conductor is electrically connected to the second electric-conductor through the first elastic component when the first enclosure and the second enclosure are in a folded state.
