Hinged electronic device with displacement altering hinge and corresponding systems

An electronic device, comprising:

• a hinge housing;
• a first device housing coupled to the hinge housing and a second device housing coupled to the hinge housing such that the first device housing is pivotable about the hinge housing between an axially displaced open position and a closed position;
• a hinge housing plate situated within the hinge housing and translating within the hinge housing between a first position and a second position when the first device housing and the second device housing pivot about the hinge housing from the axially displaced open position to the closed position;
• a bounded slot coupled to the hinge housing plate;
• and
• an actuator comprising a first actuator arm interfacing a second actuator arm to define an X-shaped actuator with the first actuator arm and the second actuator arm moving in opposite directions with a scissor action to cause a first actuator arm end having a first pin engaging the bounded slot and a second actuator arm end having a second pin engaging the bounded slot to change position within the hinge housing.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a first device housing and a second device housing, each coupled to a hinge housing such that the first device housing is pivotable about the hinge housing relative to the second device housing between an axially displaced open position and a closed position;
• a flexible display coupled to the first device housing and the second device housing and spanning the hinge housing;
• a hinge housing plate translating into the hinge housing when the first device housing and the second device housing pivot from the axially displaced open position to the closed position, thereby allowing a service loop defined by the flexible display to at least partially situate within the hinge housing when the first device housing and the second device housing are in the closed position;
• and
• a first hinge arm pivotally coupled to the hinge housing;
• a second hinge arm pivotally coupled to the hinge housing;
• a first spring biased between the first hinge arm and a compression strut pivotally coupled to the first hinge arm by a sealing plate;
• and
• a second spring biased between the second hinge arm and a compression strut pivotally coupled to the second hinge arm by the sealing plate.
