Portable information handling system hinge with hybrid rotation for distributed torque
11656659 · 2023-05-23 · ·

A portable information handling system housing rotationally couples housing portions with a dual axis synchronized gear to rotate about parallel spaced axes that define a radius to support folding of a flexible display. Each axis of the synchronized gear couples to a housing portion with a sliding bracket that adjusts length during rotation. Plural pivot arms couple to a main body of the hinge at the first and second axes and to the housing portions to manage spacing of the housing portions during rotation. A sliding member coupled to the main body engages with the plural pivot arms to synchronize rotation of the plural pivot arms and regulate torsional forces related to rotation of the housing portions that can damage a display film folding at the hinge.

Hinge with gear synchronization mechanism
11680601 · 2023-06-20 · ·

A hinge includes a base frame unit and a rotating unit. The base frame unit includes a base seat having two rotating recesses and a transmitting recess, and two interfering plates respectively disposed in the rotating recesses. The rotating unit includes two rotating members respectively and rotatably disposed in the rotating recesses, and a bevel gear member disposed in the transmitting recess. Each rotating member frictionally interferes with the respective interfering plate, and has a bevel gear portion meshing with the bevel gear member. A torque generated as a result of rotation of one rotating member is transmitted through the bevel gear member to rotate the other rotating member relative to the base seat so as to make stable synchronous rotation of the rotating members.
