An electronic device includes a body, a cover, a sliding apparatus, and a latch assembly. The body defines two sliding slots. The sliding apparatus is received in the two sliding slots and is slidable relative to the two sliding slots. The cover is foldable on the body and is rotatably coupled to the sliding apparatus. The latch assembly is fixed to the sliding apparatus. When the latch assembly latches the body, the sliding apparatus is unlatched from the electronic device, and the cover is slidable relative to the body and is unfolded while the cover slides away from the body.

Electronic device

An electronic device assembly includes a protective apparatus, a first electronic member, and a pivotal mechanism. The protective apparatus includes an upper housing and a lower housing. The first electronic member is housing in the upper housing. The pivotal mechanism received in the lower housing rotates the upper housing relative to the lower housing. When the upper housing is unlatched by the pivotal mechanism from the lower housing, the first electronic member leaves the protective apparatus, and when the upper housing is driven by the pivotal mechanism to latch to the lower housing, the first electronic member is shielded in the protective apparatus.

Electronic device assembly and protective apparatus thereof

An adjustable joint for a flat object is disclosed. The adjustable joint includes an extending portion connected to the flat object, a fixed portion, and a resilient portion connected to the extending portion and the fixed portion. The resilient portion includes a joint member connecting the extending portion and the fixed portion, a latching member received in the joint member and latching the extending portion, an operating lever rotatably connected to the joint member and configured for adjusting the tightness of the extending portion and, a connecting member connecting the latching member and the operating lever, wherein when the operating lever is rotated, the connecting member drives the latching member to grasp or release the extending portion.

Adjustable joint

An electronic device includes a body, a cover, a sliding apparatus, and a latch assembly. The body defines two sliding slots. The sliding apparatus is received in the slots and is slidable relative thereto. The cover is foldable on the body and is rotatably coupled to the sliding apparatus. The latch assembly is fixed to the sliding apparatus. When the latch assembly clasps the body, the sliding apparatus is unlatched from the electronic device, and the cover is slidable relative to the body and is unfolded while the cover slides away from the body.

An electronic device includes a body, a cover, and a switching assembly. The body defines two first openings. The cover defines two second openings facing the two first openings. The switching assembly includes a locking assembly received in the body and a latching assembly received in the cover. The locking assembly includes a handle, two guiding members, and two magnetic members received in the corresponding guiding members. The handle is for impelling the guiding members to move. The latching assembly includes two latching members. Each latching member has a latching end for being attracted by one of the magnetic members. When the cover covers the body, each latching end protrudes through the corresponding second and first openings and is caught by the magnetic members. When the handle is pressed, the handle drives the two guiding members to move to impel the two magnetic members away from the corresponding latching ends.

Electronic device with switching assembly

A snapping switch includes a base, a ring, a knob, first to third snapping members, and two contact pads. The ring is mounted on the base. The knob is rotatably engaged with the base and the ring. The first snapping member mounted on one of the ring and the knob. The second and third snapping members are separately mounted on the other one of the ring and the knob and sandwiching the first snapping member there-between. The contact pads are respectively mounted on the ring and the knob. When the knob is in a first position, the first snapping member attracts one of the second and third snapping members to separate the contact pads; and when the knob is rotated to a second position, the first snapping member can attract the other one of the second and third snapping members to make an electrical connection between the contact pads.

Magnetic snap action switch

A supporting structure is provided for supporting a flat panel display. The supporting structure includes a brace and a base. The brace includes a chassis and a number of arms movably connected to the chassis. The chassis includes a supporting portion surface, an opposite grasp portion surface, and a side surface connecting the supporting portion surface and the grasp portion surface. The supporting portion surface is positioned against the back surface of the flat panel display. The chassis defines a number of side openings on the side surface from the grasp portion surface and along a direction parallel to the axis of the chassis. The base includes a casing sleeved on the chassis therein. The casing defines a number of cutouts corresponding to the side openings and cooperates with the side openings to define a number of sliding grooves for the arms sliding therein respectively.
