A fixing mechanism includes a base, a movable hook and a sliding key. A first end of the movable hook is for fixing an accessory. The sliding key is slidably installed on the base. The sliding key includes a key body whereon a sliding slot is formed, and a driving part for pushing a second end of the movable hook when the key body moves in a first direction so as to separate the first end of the movable hook from the accessory. The fixing mechanism further includes a rotary arm. A first end of the rotary arm is rotatably installed on the base, and a second end of the rotary arm is slidably installed inside the sliding slot. The second end of the rotary arm stops the second end of the movable hook in a closed position for preventing the movable hook from moving in the first direction.

Fixing mechanism for fixing an accessory on a portable electronic device

A portable computer includes a base, a display module, a support element and a cam structure. The base comprises a first area and a second area. The display module includes a connecting end and a display face. The support element includes a first end connected pivotally to a portion of the display module other than the display face and a second end connected pivotally to the rear end of the base. Two ends of the cam structure are connected pivotally to the base and the support element. Accordingly, the support element is connected indirectly and pivotally to the base. When the display module is slid and rotated relative to the base to change a notebook state or a tablet state, the support element does not interfere the movement of the display module and keep the flatness of the whole appearance of the portable computer.

Portable computer

A portable computer includes a base, a keyboard module, a pushing assembly, a display module, and a sliding assembly. The base includes a front end and a rear end. The keyboard module includes two keyboard portions; each keyboard portion is moveably combined with the base by at least one moving structure. The pushing assembly includes two pushing elements combined moveably with the base. The display module includes a connecting end and a support portion. The sliding assembly includes a slide corresponding element disposed in the base and a sliding element pivoted on the connecting end and moved along the slide corresponding element. When the connecting end moves towards the front end with the slide element, the pushing assembly pushes and moves the moving structures by the slide element, and the two keyboard portions are separated; then the connecting end is moved through the keyboard module with the slide element.

Keyswitch structure

In a connector structure, a moving element is pushed by a connector to move horizontally with respect to a first housing, while a linking element is moved accordingly by the moving element vertically with respect to the first housing. With such structural relation, the connector structure may be substantially reduced in its thickness before connection with the connector, saving room for the thickness of an electronic device where the connector structure is disposed. As the connector is inserted to the connector structure, the sinked linking element provides necessary structural support for withholding the connector, securing the contact between the connector and a connecting jack of the connector structure, and preventing the connector from detaching from the connector structure.
