Portable Information Handling System Hinge - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17874391 titled 'Portable Information Handling System Hinge
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a hinge for a portable information handling system. The hinge consists of a cylindrical shaft with a flat section and a coil portion. The coil portion has a cylindrical interior edge with a flat section. When the hinge is rotated between zero and five degrees, the flat sections of the coil portion and the cylindrical shaft align.
- The hinge is designed for a portable information handling system.
- It includes a cylindrical shaft with a flat section and a coil portion.
- The coil portion has a cylindrical interior edge with a flat section.
- When the hinge is rotated between zero and five degrees, the flat sections align.
Potential Applications:
- Portable information handling systems such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones could benefit from this hinge design.
- The hinge could be used in various industries where portable devices with folding capabilities are used, such as healthcare, education, or business.
Problems Solved:
- The hinge allows for smooth rotation and alignment of the flat sections, ensuring proper folding and unfolding of the portable information handling system.
- It provides stability and durability to the hinge mechanism, preventing damage or misalignment during regular use.
Benefits:
- The hinge design offers improved functionality and ease of use for portable information handling systems.
- It enhances the overall user experience by providing a reliable and sturdy hinge mechanism.
- The alignment of the flat sections ensures a secure and seamless folding/unfolding process.

Original Abstract Submitted
A hinge for a portable information handling system. The hinge includes a cylindrical shaft, the cylindrical shaft including an axially extending substantially flat section and a coil portion, the coil portion having a largely cylindrical interior edge, the largely cylindrical interior edge including a substantially flat section, the substantially flat section of the coil portion and the substantially flat section of the cylindrical shaft being aligned when a relative rotation of the hinge is between zero and five degrees.
