Abstract
A portable information handling system hinge rotationally couples lid and main housing portions to each other with one or more shafts that rotate relative to the housing portions and/or each other. Threads integrated along the shaft length engage off axis with a friction element that generates resistance to housing portion rotational movement. Placement of the friction element in length and/or width vectors aids reduction of the system housing height vector.
