Claim 13:
14. An electronic device, comprising:
a hinge housing;
a first device housing coupled to the hinge housing and a second device housing coupled to the hinge housing such that the first device housing is pivotable about the hinge housing between an axially displaced open position and a closed position;
a hinge housing plate situated within the hinge housing and translating within the hinge housing between a first position and a second position when the first device housing and the second device housing pivot about the hinge housing from the axially displaced open position to the closed position;
a bounded slot coupled to the hinge housing plate; and
an actuator comprising a first actuator arm interfacing a second actuator arm to define an X-shaped actuator with the first actuator arm and the second actuator arm moving in opposite directions with a scissor action to cause a first actuator arm end having a first pin engaging the bounded slot and a second actuator arm end having a second pin engaging the bounded slot to change position within the hinge housing.
