A connector includes a plug and a receptacle. The plug includes a first main body which includes a groove and two slot walls with a number of first terminals. The receptacle includes a support, a second main body and an insert. The second main body includes a rail matching with the groove of the plug. The rail includes two flanks and each flank includes a number of second terminals corresponding to the first terminals. When the first main body slides into the second main body via the rail and holds the support, each first terminal on the slot wall of the first main body connects to one second terminal on each flank of the rail to make the plug electrically connect to the receptacle.

Connector

An electronic device includes a base, a display, and a user-actable ejection mechanism. The base defines a recessed portion. The display is received in the recessed portion, and is pivotably connected to sidewalls of the recessed portion. The user-actuatable ejection mechanism is positioned in the base, and drives the display to rotate up relative to the base when actuated by a user.

Electronic device with ejection mechanism

An electronic device includes a housing, a tray, and a latching mechanism. The housing defines a receiving channel and an opening communicating with the receiving channel. The tray is slidably received in the receiving channel and slidable out of the housing through. The latching mechanism includes a hook, at least one latching member rotatably connected to the housing and comprising a latching clamp for latchingly engaging the hook, a driving assembly, and at least one first resilient element configured to apply a spring force to the at least one latching member. The driving assembly is configured to drive the at least one latching member to rotate from a locking position where the hook is lockingly engaged with the latching clamp to a releasing position where the latching clamp disengages from the hook.

Electronic device with slidable tray

An electronic device includes a main body, an input device, a latching mechanism, at least one first driving device, and at least one support mechanism. The main body includes a housing defining a recess therein. The input device is rotatably received in the recess and rotatable between a first position where a top surface of the input device is substantially coplanar with a top surface of the housing, and a second position where the input device is inclined with respect to the top surface of the housing. The latching mechanism is configured to latch the input device in the first position. The first driving device is configured to rotate the input device to the second position when the input device is released by the latching mechanism. The support mechanism is configured to support the input device, thereby maintaining the input device in the second position.

Electronic device with input device

A liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a bracket, an LCD panel received in the bracket, and a number of connecting members resiliently sandwiched between the LCD panel and the bracket.

Liquid crystal display with connecting assembly

A liquid crystal display (LCD) assembly includes a liquid crystal display device for displaying images, a first frame receiving the LCD device, a second frame receiving the first frame, at least a clamping component, and at least an ejecting component. The at least a clamping component is mounted between the first frame and the second frame and configured for clamping the first frame in the second frame. The at least an ejecting component is mounted between the first frame and the second frame and configured for providing a driving force for ejecting the first frame out of the second frame.

Liquid crystal display assembly

A display includes a base, a display panel, and a rotation device for making the display panel horizontally rotate relative to the base. The rotation device includes a ratchet wheel movably connected to the base, a rod rotationally connected to the ratchet wheel, a pawl rotationally connected to the rod and engaging with the ratchet wheel, a first elastic member connected between the rod and the pawl for supplying a restoring force to the pawl, a second elastic member connected between the base and the rod for supplying a restoring force to the rod, a slide member slidedly connected to the rod for swinging the pendulum rod, and a third elastic member connected between the slide member and the base for supplying a restoring force to the slide member. The display panel is fixed on the ratchet wheel and rotates as the ratchet wheel is rotated.

Display having horizontally rotatable display panel

A USB device includes a hollow main body having an opening, a USB plug, a transition member fixedly connected to the USB plug, and a rotation member. The rotation member includes a rotation button arranged on the hollow main body and a gear wheel arranged in the hollow main body. The gear wheel is fixed to the rotation button. The transition member includes a gear rack engaged with the gear wheel. Under the rotation of the rotation button, the gear wheel is engaged with the gear rack to drive the USB plug to move out of the hollow main body through the opening, or retracted into the hollow main body.

Universal serial bus device

A supporting apparatus includes a U-shaped first bracket, a U-shaped second bracket pivotably attached to the first bracket through a connection mechanism, and a positioning mechanism. The connection mechanism includes a first gear mounted to the second bracket, and a second gear pivotably mounted to the first bracket and mating with the first gear. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning member slidably attached to the first bracket, a resilient member arranged between the positioning member and the first bracket, and a positioning gear pivotably attached to the first bracket and linked with the second gear. The positioning member includes a positioning pole. When the second bracket is rotated to a desired position relative to the first bracket, the resilient member biases the positioning member, such that the positioning pole engages in the positioning gear to position the second bracket.

Supporting apparatus for portable electronic device

A supporting apparatus for supporting an LCD module, the supporting apparatus comprises a pivoting member, a fastener assembly connecting the pivoting member to the LCD module, a supporter and a connecting member. The supporter comprises a base wall and two sidewalls extending from the base wall. The connecting member connects the pivoting member to the supporter, and comprises a top wall and two arms extending from two opposite edges of the top wall. The arms are mounted to the sidewalls of the supporter separately.

Supporting apparatus for LCD module

A cover assembly for covering a hinge () of a portable device includes a base () and a cover (). The base () includes a fixing portion () protruding therefrom, a pair of slide protrusions () is formed on the fixing portion (), and a latching slot () is defined in the base () adjacent the fixing portion (). The cover () includes a pair of sliding slots () corresponding to the slide protrusions (), and a hook () is formed on the cover () for engaging the latching slot ().
