Information Handling System Housing Synchronization with Differential Torque Hinge

摘要

An information handling system hinge assembly simulates synchronous and other types of motions by applying friction varied based upon dual-axis hinge rotational position to generate differential torque at an information handling system chassis and lid portion. A connecting device maintains first and second hinges in position relative to each other during rotation of the chassis and lid portions, such as through 360 degrees of rotation between closed and tablet positions.

主权项

1. An information handling system comprising:
a chassis; processing components disposed in the chassis and operable to process information; a lid; a display disposed in the lid and interfaced with the processing components, the display operable to present the information as visual images; first and second hinges rotationally coupling the chassis and lid, each hinge having first and second axles; a first friction member associated with the first hinge; and a second friction member associated with the second hinge; wherein the first and second friction members change torque at the first and second axles based upon an angle of rotation of the chassis relative to the lid to create a predetermined rotational behavior of the chassis relative to the lid.
