Latest Surface 'Andromeda' patent hints at a locking mechanism

One of the most anticipated products to come out of Microsoft is the Surface 'Andromeda' device which is a folding dual-screen computer that will serve as a Windows device that will be able to make calls and access mobile data. Various patents pertaining to this mystery device have already leaked out and the latest one details a locking mechanism. 

Microsoft's rich heritage of hinges and locks shows that the company can solve complex problems when it comes to making multifunctional devices. The latest patent which was found h0x0d and shared on Twitter shows a clever 0-360 degree hinge articulation. As with most patents, let's take this with a grain of salt, although there's clearly enough evidence that Microsoft has really fleshed out the folding aspect of such a device which is unlike anything we've seen in the market.
