Abstract
An information handling system peripheral keyboard sized to rest on an information handling display has a charging port that aligns to couple to a charging extension extending from a hinge that rotationally couples information handling system housing portions to each other. As the housing portions close around the keyboard placed on the display, the hinge extends a distance between parallel axles forcing a cover disposed over the first and second axles to expose an opening through which the charging extension extends. When the hinges open, the first and second axles bias together to close the cover opening and retract the charging extension back into the hinge.
