A supporting mechanism is disclosed in the present invention. The supporting mechanism includes a base, a supporter, a latch and an actuating component. A hole and an accommodating structure are formed on a bottom of the base, and an opening of the accommodating structure faces outward of the base. The supporter is movably disposed inside the accommodating structure. The supporter includes a contacting pillar, which pierces through the hole and stretches into the base. The latch is slidably disposed inside the base. The latch includes a pushing portion for pressing the contacting pillar, so as to move the supporter out of the accommodating structure. The actuating component is pivotably disposed by a side of the base. The actuating component includes a handle and an actuating portion. The actuating portion can rotate toward an inner of the base for pushing the latch when the handle rotates outwardly.

Supporting mechanism for a portable electronic device and related rotary electronic system

A portable electronic device includes a housing body having a bottom wall and a pair of grooves formed in the bottom wall, a cover body, a pair of hinges interconnecting the housing and cover bodies, a pair of foot modules respectively corresponding to positions of the grooves, and a pair of cam mechanisms each connected to one hinge and an adjacent foot module. Each foot module includes a foot pad movable between retracted and protruding position. When the cover body is pivoted from a closed position to an open position, each hinge actuates a respective cam mechanism which in turn actuates the foot pad to move the latter from the retracted to the protruding position.

Portable electronic device

A button locking mechanism includes a latch for being pushed in a first direction by a driving component, and a blocking component connected to the latch. A first incline structure is formed on the blocking component for contacting against a button when the blocking component moves in the first direction so that the blocking component moves in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The button locking mechanism further includes a first elastic component connected to the blocking component for pushing the blocking component to move in a third direction opposite to the second direction so as to prevent the button from being pressed down.

Button locking mechanism for preventing a button from being pressed down and electronic device thereof

The fixing structure of the invention capable of connecting to a pen with a slot comprises a main body, a slide piece, and a push module. The main body comprises a slide slot and an opening. The slide piece can slide into the slide slot. The slide piece comprises a first slide unit and a second slide unit. The first slide unit comprises a first pressing element. The push module comprises a second pressing element, and the push module has a loose state and a tight state. When the push module is in the loose state, at least a portion of the first pressing element is in the opening; when the push module is in the tight state, the second pressing element connects to the second slide unit, and the first pressing element connects to the slot of the pen.
