Abstract
A portable information handling system housing rotationally couples first and second housing portions with a hinge assembly having a minor axis that moves relative to a main axis to define a spacing between the housing portions. A main bracket couples to the first housing portion and rotationally couples through first and second telescoping members with first and second secondary brackets disposed at opposing sides of the main bracket and coupled to the second housing portion. The telescoping members synchronize through a linkage of the main bracket to adjust the distance between the minor and main axes for 360 degrees of rotation and adapting to an object located between the housing portions when the housing portions close.
