Information handling system hinge support frame

1. An information handling system comprising:

a chassis having a hinge support frame;

a lid having a hinge support frame;

processing components disposed in the chassis and operable to cooperate to process information;

a display disposed in the lid and interfaced with the processing components, the display operable to present information as visual images;

a hinge coupled to the chassis hinge support frame and the lid hinge support frame by one or more coupling devices, the hinge rotationally coupling the chassis and lid to each other;

wherein the lid support frame has a conical boss extending into a countersink of the hinge at the coupling device.

2. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the conical boss and countersink have a circular inner surface into which the coupling device inserts.

3. The information handling system of claim 2 wherein the coupling device comprises a screw that engages threads formed in the conical boss circular inner surface, the threads and conical boss extending past a nominal surface of the support frame.

4. The information handling system of claim 1 further comprising a bracket bonded to the hinge, the bracket including an opening aligned to a coupling location in the support frame.

5. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the hinge comprises a dual axis hinge operable to rotate the lid 360 degrees relative to the chassis.

6. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the hinge comprises a single axis hinge operable to rotate the lid less than 180 degrees relative to the chassis.

7. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the chassis support frame has a conical boss extending into a counter sink of the hinge at the coupling device.

8. The information handling system of claim 7 wherein the conical boss includes threads to accept a screw coupling device.

9. A method for coupling a hinge to an information handling system, the method comprising:

forming an opening in the hinge to accept a coupling device;

forming a countersink in the hinge opening;

forming an opening in the information handling system to accept the coupling device, the opening having a securing device for engaging the coupling device;

forming an extension integrated with the information handling system proximate the opening and sized to fit into the countersink, the extension including the securing device for engaging the coupling device; and

inserting the coupling device into the hinge opening then into the extension and then into the information handling system opening, the coupling device engaging the securing device to couple the hinge to the information handling system.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the information handling system comprises a chassis and a lid, the hinge rotationally coupling the chassis to the lid, and wherein the information handling system opening comprises an opening in the lid to couple the lid to the hinge.

11. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

forming a second opening in the hinge to accept a second coupling device;

forming a countersink in the second opening;

forming an opening in the information handling system chassis to accept the second coupling device, the opening having a securing device for engaging the coupling device;

forming an extension integrated with the information handling system chassis proximate the opening and sized to fit into the countersink, the extension including the securing device for engaging the coupling device; and

inserting the second coupling device into the second hinge opening then into the extension and then into the information handling system chassis opening, the second coupling device engaging the securing device to couple the hinge to the information handling system chassis.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the hinge comprises a dual axis hinge operable to rotate the lid substantially 360 degrees relative to the chassis.

13. The method of claim 9 wherein the coupling device comprises a screw and the securing device comprises threads engaged by the screw.

14. The method of claim 9 wherein the extension comprises a conical boss.

15. The method of claim 9 further comprising affixing a bracket to the hinge proximate the opening, the bracket extending from the hinge and having an opening for accepting a coupling device aligned to engage the information handling system in a position offset from the hinge.

16. A system for rotationally coupling an information handling system chassis and lid, the system comprising:

a dual axis hinge having first and second arms, the first arm having a coupling device opening;

a lid securing surface proportioned to rest against the first arm and having a coupling device opening aligned with the with first arm coupling device opening;

an extension disposed at the lid securing surface opening to extend into the first arm coupling device opening when the lid securing surface rests against the first arm; and

a coupling device inserted from the first arm coupling device opening into the lid securing surface coupling device opening to engage with the extension for securing the lid to the hinge first arm.

17. The system of claim 16 wherein the extension comprises a conical boss and the first arm coupling device opening comprises a countersink sized to accept the conical boss.

18. The system of claim 16 further comprising threads formed in the extension and operable to engage a screw coupling device inserted into the extension.

19. The system of claim 16 further comprising a bracket coupled to the first arm and having an opening offset from the first hinge arm and aligned with an opening in the lid for accepting a coupling device.

20. The system of claim 16 further comprising a chassis securing surface proportioned to rest against the second arm and having a coupling device opening aligned with a coupling device opening in the second arm, the chassis securing surface having an extension to extend into the second arm coupling device opening when the second hinge arm rests against the chassis securing surface.
