Abstract:
Examples disclosed herein provide a hinge assembly for a computing device. One example hinge assembly includes a first bracket attached to a first member of the computing device and a second bracket attached to a second member of the computing device. The hinge assembly includes a hinge pivotally connecting the first bracket to the second bracket along a first axis, and a first gear rotatably connected to the first bracket along the first axis. The hinge assembly further includes a set of gears, each gear from the set of gears rotatably connected to different axes parallel to the first axis. As an example, the set of gears is to provide friction against the first gear to provide a level of resistance to a torque provided when the first bracket is to be moved along the first axis.
