Patent Number: 12484170 
Title: Console Display Hinge System 
Abstract: A display hinge system includes a latching hinge and a friction hinge. The latching hinge includes a latching hinge moulding with first and second toothed locking plates, and a latch lever mechanism configured to move the first toothed locking plate toward and away from the second toothed locking plate. In one configuration, the first toothed locking plate does not engage the second toothed locking plate and the display hinge system is free to rotate. In another configuration, the first toothed locking plate engages the second toothed locking plate and prevents rotation of the display hinge system. The friction hinge includes a friction hinge moulding, a friction hinge cap, and a torque hinge. The torque hinge has a first part mechanically coupled to the friction hinge moulding and a second part mechanically coupled to the friction hinge cap. The friction hinge is configured to resist rotation of the display hinge system.
