ABSTRACT:
A pivoting door system for a housing of a portable computer includes a first housing hinge member extending downwardly from the housing below the bottom surface of the housing. A door for covering a region at the rear end of the housing is pivotably secured to the first housing hinge member about a hinge axis located below the bottom surface of the housing. The door is able to pivot downwardly to a position against the housing where the door is at an acute angle relative to the bottom surface of the housing to elevate the rear end of the housing. The weight of the housing and computer locks the door in this position.
