Abstract:
Examples disclosed herein provide a hinge mechanism to pivotally connect housings of a computing device along an axis. As an example, the hinge mechanism includes a first guide rail fixed to a first housing of the computing device, a second guide rail fixed to a second housing of the computing device, and an intermediate guide rail to connect the first and second guide rails to each other. As an example, the hinge mechanism includes a rotation assembly linked to the first guide rail via a bell crank, wherein a rotational axis of the rotation assembly is offset from the axis, and the rotation assembly is to provide a level of resistance to a torque provided when opening or closing the first housing with respect to the second housing.

Claim (Index 13):
A hinge mechanism to pivotally connect first and second housings of a computing device along an axis, the hinge mechanism comprising:\n a first guide rail fixed to a first housing of the computing device; a second guide rail fixed to a second housing of the computing device; an intermediate guide rail to connect the first and second guide rails to each other, wherein the first and second guide rails are concentric along the axis and fit with the intermediate guide rail and slide one with another; and a rotation assembly linked to the first guide rail via a bell crank, wherein a rotational axis of the rotation assembly is offset from the axis, and the rotation assembly is to provide a variable level of resistance to a torque provided when opening or closing the first housing with respect to the second housing, wherein the variable level of resistance is based on an angle of the first housing with respect to the second housing.
