A portable information handling system pivots a hinge rotational axis as the hinge rotates housing portions between open and closed positions to manage a gap between the housing portions. For example, the hinge couples a base at a perimeter of one housing portion, the base having a many body that slides on sliding members of the base and that supports a bracket extending inward to couple to another housing portion. A bracket gear engages with a pinion gear included in the main body to translate bracket rotation through the pinion gear to a rack integrated in the base, thereby sliding the main body relative to the base as the housing portions rotate so that the distance between the housing portions adjusts with rotational orientation.

Translating pivot hinge

The present invention provides a hidden type split hinge. First and second curved tracks are provided on a curved seat body for respectively limiting a first and second curved blocks of first and second rotating members in a way of being relatively swung. First and second torsion units are symmetrical and adjacently provided to a first side of the curved seat body, and one end of the first and second torsion units is respectively provided with first and second pivoting holes, and the first and second pivoting holes are respectively in communication with first and second elongated opening holes, first and second tooth portions are respectively provided around peripheries of the first and second pivoting holes, and the first tooth portion is engaged with the second tooth portion, and the first and second pivoting hole are axially connected to the first and second shaft ends of a first lateral surface.

Hidden type split hinge

A hinge module for a foldable type device has one end-surface connected to a flexible display and has another end-surface respectively connected to a first housing and a second housing. The hinge module comprises a base and a first sliding mechanism. The first sliding mechanism comprises a first supporting plate, a first sliding cover, a first linkage rod, a linkage plate and at least one first restoring member. The first supporting plate and the linkage plate are respectively pivotally connected to the first-lateral-pivoting-portion and the first-central-pivoting-portion. A second limiting portion of a first sliding cover is used to limit the first limiting portion of the first supporting plate in a way of relatively sliding. Thus, when the first limiting portion slides relative to the second limiting portion, the first supporting plate is moved to accommodate the curved-central-part of the flexible display.
