Abstract

An information handling system converts from a closed position to a tablet position by rotating a lid with a display 360 degrees about a hinge having synchronized and continuous motion. The hinge has first and second axles held distal by a spacer. A synchronizer translates motion of each axle to the other to provide fluid movement of the lid relative to the housing. For instance, first and second cables translate rotational motion with the disposition of a discontinuous figure eight between the first and second axles.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information handling system comprising:
a housing;
components disposed in the housing and operable to cooperate to process information;
a lid;
a display disposed in the lid, the display interfaced with the components to present the information as visual images;
a hinge rotationally coupling the housing and lid, the hinge having a first axle coupled at an end to the housing, a second axle coupled at an end to the lid, each of the first and second a…
