ABSTRACT:
A laptop computer hinge reinforcement apparatus having a support plate and mounting block secured to a hinge. The support plate is fastened to a display panel cover and a support arm. The mounting block is fastened to the opposing side of the support arm. The mounting block has a plurality of threaded bores which are aligned with a plurality of receiving holes of the support arm. The supporting plate also has a plurality of holes and is substantially the same width as the support arm and hinged arm. The mounting block and supporting plate are secured to the support arm by fasteners that extend through the holes of the supporting plate through the receiving holes and into the threaded bores. The fastening means do not pass entirely through the bores of the mounting block. This configuration allows a second set of screws to engage the other end of the threaded bore so as to secure the support arm to the hinged arm. In this manner, the supporting plate and mounting block adds additional strength and rigidity to the hinge mechanism and display panel cover of the laptop computer.
