A portable apparatus includes an electronic device defining a locking slot and a positioning device for detachably attached to the electronic device. The positioning device includes a cover defining an opening and a through hole; a supporting member comprising a hook protruding from the through hole to insert in the locking slot to lock in the electronic device and a supporting portion protruding from the opening of the cover to support the electronic device; and a dampening member fixed to the supporting member in the cover.

Portable apparatus and positioning device thereof

An exemplary electronic apparatus () includes a main body (), a lid () connecting with and rotating with respect to the main body between an opened position and a closed position, and a sliding bar () located in the main body. The main body defines a fastening hole (), and includes a block portion () extending upwardly from an outer edge of the fastening hole. The block portion includes a side block portion () and a top block portion () connecting with the side block portion. The lid includes a hook () aligning with the fastening hole. The sliding bar includes a main bar () movably fastened onto the main body, a limiting portion () extending from the main bar, and a hook portion () extending from the limiting portion for fastening onto the hook. The limiting portion is blocked between the side block portion and the top block portion.

Flip-type electronic apparatus

A hinge assembly and a portable electronic device are provided. The portable electronic device includes a lid, a main body, and a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly pivotly connects the lid to the main body. The hinge assembly includes a pivot element, a torsion spring, and a hinge brace. The pivot element is formed on the lid and partially and rotatably received in the main body. The torsion spring is assembled between the lid and the main body. When the lid is in a closed position with respect to the main body, the torsion spring becomes constricted and accumulates potential energy. When the lid is opened from the main body, the potential energy of the torsion spring is released to drive the lid to rotate to an open position with respect to the main body. The hinge brace is attached to the main body for blocking an excessive rotation of the lid with respect to the main body.

Hinge assembly and portable electronic device using the same

A casing () for an optical disk player includes a body () for housing a disk playing mechanism, and a top lid (). The top lid is closable downward to a closed position for covering at least part of the body, and is openable upward to an open position for loading or unloading an optical disk. A pair of pivot pins () is formed on opposite lateral sides of the body respectively, and a pair of pivot holes () is defined in opposite lateral sides of the top lid respectively. The pivot pins are movably received in the pivot holes. A resilient member () is interposed between the body and the top lid, for resiliently loading the top lid in a direction toward its open position. In assembly, at least one of the pivot pins is insertable into the corresponding pivot hole by deforming the top lid slightly.
