Abstract:
1. A computing device comprising: a base unit comprising a rear edge comprising spaced vertical channels extending forwardly into the rear edge, the spaced vertical channels comprising a first vertical channel and a second vertical channel; a display; a quadruple hinge assembly pivotally coupling the display to the base unit, the quadruple hinge assembly comprising: a first hinge mount having a first upright member; a first active hinge to which the first hinge mount is coupled and configured to produce a resistive force that opposes rotation of the first hinge mount about a the first longitudinal axis, wherein the first upright member perpendicularly extends from the first active hinge and is coupled to the display; a first passive hinge extending, within and across the first channel, along the first longitudinal axis and having a first post configured to define a first passageway for routing a first wire, the first post coupled to the display by a second upright member perpendicularly extending from the first passive hinge at a first location within the first channel and coupled to the display at a second location beyond the first channel; a second hinge mount having a third upright member; a second active hinge to which the second hinge mount is coupled and configured to produce a resistive force that opposes rotation of the second hinge mount about the second longitudinal axis, wherein the third upright member is coupled to the display; and a second passive hinge extending, within and across the second channel, along the second longitudinal axis and having a second post configured to define a second passageway for routing a second wire, the second post coupled to the display by a fourth upright member perpendicularly extending from the second passive hinge at a third location within the second channel and coupled to the display at a fourth location beyond the second channel.
