A portable information handling system rotationally couples housing portions with a mono barrel hinge having sequential axle rotation about 360 degrees. A dual eccentric shaft hinge element rotates each axle about a cable routed between the axles so that a full 360 degrees of rotation is achieve with a thin height profile. Each axle shaft has a flat face that is maintained adjacent the cable rotating with an eccentric pattern relative to the cable.

An electronic assembly including a first electronic device and a second electronic device is provided. The first electronic device has a first body and a first terminal set disposed in a recess of the first body. The second electronic device has a second body and a second terminal set disposed on the second body in a protruding manner. The first body and the second body are assembled together only by inserting and locking the second terminal set in the recess. Moreover, the first terminal set and the second terminal set are in contact with each other in the recess, such that the first and the second electronic devices are electrically connected to each other via the first terminal set and the second terminal set.

Electronic assembly

An electronic assembly including a first body having at least one recess, a first electronic module disposed within the first body, at least one first terminal set disposed within the recess and electrically connected to the first electronic module, a second body having at least one protruding portion, a second electronic module disposed within the second body and at least one second terminal set disposed in the protruding portion, partially exposed by the surface of the protruding portion and electrically connected to the second electronic module. The first and the second bodies are assembled to each other by the protruding portion inserting into the recess, and the first terminal set contacts the second terminal set, such that the first and the second electronic modules are electrically connected to each other through the first and the second terminal sets.

A hinge mechanism includes first torsion shafts, a first torsion sleeve, second torsion shafts, a second torsion sleeve, a first fixing assembly, a second fixing assembly and a third fixing assembly. The first torsion sleeve is sleeved on the first torsion shafts to link the first torsion shafts. The second torsion sleeve is sleeved on the second torsion shafts to link the second torsion shafts. The first and the second torsion sleeves interfere with each other, so the adjacent first and second torsion shafts drive each other to move. The first fixing assembly is engaged with the adjacent first and second torsion shafts respectively. The second fixing assembly is engaged with the first torsion shaft away from the second torsion shafts. The third fixing assembly is engaged with the second torsion shaft away from the first torsion shafts. The first, second and third torsion shafts interfere with each other.

Hinge mechanism and portable electronic device

A portable electronic apparatus includes a base, two linkage assemblies disposed on two sides of the base, and a first component and a second component pivoted respectively on the base. Each linkage assembly includes a lever and a dual axis rotating module combined between a first end and a second end of the lever, and each dual axis rotating module disposes on the side of the base. The lever rotates along the side of the base and along a first plane being substantially perpendicular to the side relative to the base by the dual axis rotating module. During the first component rotates relative to the base from an open state to a close state, the first end of each lever is pushed to rotate along the first plane, and the second component is clipped by the second end of each lever.

Portable electronic apparatus

A touch pad module includes a circuit board and a trigger element. The circuit board includes a recessed area. The trigger element is disposed on the circuit board and covers the recessed area. When the trigger element deforms by an external force, at least a part of the trigger element is located in the recessed area.

A hinge module connected between a first body and a second body of an electronic device is provided. The hinge module includes a hinge connecting the first and the second bodies, a linking rod, and a sleeve pivoted to the second body. The linking rod has a first end connected to the first body and a second end slidably coupled into the sleeve. When the first and the second bodies are rotated by the hinge module, the first body drives the linking rod such that the second end slides in the sleeve and drives the sleeve to rotate relative to the second body. Inner wall of the sleeve has at least one interfering section. When the second end moves onto the interfering section, the linking rod is interfered to the sleeve, such that the first body is supported by the hinge module and opened relative to the second body.

Hinge module and electronic device

An electronic apparatus includes a first body, a second body and a keyboard. The first body has a display surface and an appearance surface opposite to each other. The second body is pivoted to the first body and has an accommodating opening and a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, in which when the first body is closed to the second body, the first surface faces the display surface. The keyboard is pivoted at the accommodating opening through at least one rotation-shaft, in which when the first body is turned over relatively to the second body, the keyboard is able to be turned over relatively to the second body, so that when the second surface faces the appearance surface, the first body covers a plurality of keys of the keyboard.

Electronic apparatus

An electronic equipment includes a display device, an input device, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod. Two ends of the first connecting rod are respectively pivotable on sides of the display device and the input device, and two ends of the second connecting rod are respectively pivotable on the opposite sides of the display device and the input device. When the electronic equipment is in a tablet mode, the display device covers the input device, and the display device and the input device are located between the first and the second connecting rods.
