Information Handling System Hinge Support Frame

摘要

Low profile portable information handling systems rotationally couple a lid and chassis portion with a dual axis hinge that couples at one axis with an extension and countersink engagement to enhance system strength. For example, a conical boss in a lid support frame extends into a countersink formed in a hinge axis and includes threads to accept a screw inserted from the hinge axis into the conical boss. The conical boss inner diameter extends the space available for placement of threads to engage a screw to provide enhanced coupling strength between the hinge axis and lid support frame.

1. An information handling system comprising:
a chassis having a hinge support frame; a lid having a hinge support frame; processing components disposed in the chassis and operable to cooperate to process information; a display disposed in the lid and interfaced with the processing components, the display operable to present information as visual images; a hinge coupled to the chassis hinge support frame and the lid hinge support frame by one or more coupling devices, the hinge rotationally coupling the chassis and lid to each other; wherein the lid support frame has a conical boss extending into a countersink of the hinge at the coupling device.
