Abstract
Technologies are described for a set of removable couplers configured to secure sequential hinge covers over a sequential multi-pivot hinge module for rotatably securing portions of a computing device. The removable couplers may be configured to engage each end of a shaft, where the shaft rotatably couples frames of the multi-pivot hinge module together. Each of the removable couplers may include threaded holes for engaging a fastening component to secure a hinge cover over each frame. The hinge covers may be installed sequentially over each frame of the multi-pivot hinge module, by installing a frame, attaching removable couplers and securing the hinge cover, and repeating the process for each hinge cover.
