Abstract
Examples disclosed herein provide a hinge assembly for a computing device. The hinge assembly includes a first barrel coupled to a second barrel. The first barrel has a first groove that extends circumferentially and longitudinally along at least a length of the first barrel, and the second barrel has a second groove that extends circumferentially and longitudinally along at least a length of the second barrel. The hinge assembly includes a first hinge pivot shaft that rotates about a first axis via the first barrel, and the first shaft includes a first guide pin to follow the first groove along the first barrel. The hinge assembly includes a second hinge pivot shaft that rotates about a second axis via the second barrel, and the second shaft includes a second guide pin to follow the second groove along the second barrel. The hinge assembly includes a bracket that aligns a point along a length of the first shaft with a point along a length of the second shaft.
