Positionable keyboard bezel

摘要

A system can include a keyboard housing that includes a keyboard and a positionable keyboard bezel, a display housing that includes a display, a hinge that pivotably connects the keyboard housing and the display housing for orienting the display housing with respect to the keyboard housing, and a positioning mechanism that positions the keyboard bezel in a first state with respect to the keyboard for a first orientation of the display housing with respect to the keyboard housing and that positions the keyboard bezel in a second state with respect to the keyboard for a second orientation of the display housing with respect to the keyboard housing. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

1. A system comprising:
a keyboard housing that comprises a keyboard and a positionable keyboard bezel, the keyboard defined in a first Cartesian coordinate system as having a width along an x-axis, a length along a y-axis and a height along a z-axis that extends in a direction outwardly away from touch surfaces of keys of the keyboard; a display housing that comprises a display, the display defined in a second Cartesian coordinate system as having a width along an x-axis, a length along a y-axis and a height along a z-axis that extends in a direction outwardly away from a viewing surface of the display; a hinge that pivotably connects the keyboard housing and the display housing for orienting the display housing with respect to the keyboard housing; and a positioning mechanism that positions the keyboard bezel in a first state with respect to the keyboard for a first orientation of the display housing with respect to the keyboard housing and that positions the keyboard bezel in a second state with respect to the keyboard for a second orientation of the display housing with respect to the keyboard housing wherein the second orientation comprises a pivot angle for the display housing with respect to the keyboard housing of approximately 360 degrees wherein the z-axis of the display and the z-axis of the keyboard point away from each other, and wherein the second state comprises portions of the keyboard bezel positioned in the first Cartesian coordinate system at a z position that is substantially equal to a z position of the touch surfaces of the keys and other portions of the keyboard bezel that extend underneath the keys.
