A detachable electronic apparatus includes a tablet device and a base. The base includes a back plate and a rotatable supporting device pivoted on the back plate. The rotatable supporting device further includes a supporting bracket and a connector module floating connected to the supporting bracket. The connector module is protruded from an opening of the supporting bracket when the tablet device is against the back plate. The connector module is stored in the opening of the supporting bracket when the tablet device is separated from the back plate.

Detachable electronic apparatus

An electronic device including a first body, a rotating base and a transmission module is provided. The rotating base has a first ventilation opening. The rotating base is pivoted on the first body and suitable for rotating between a using position and a retracted position in relative to the first body. When the rotating base is located at the retracted position, the first ventilation opening is exposed from the first body. When the rotating base is located at the using position, the first ventilation opening is retracted in the first body. The transmission module is connected to the rotating base for outputting a mechanical force to actuate the rotating base.

Electronic device

An expansion card fastening mechanism includes a baseboard, a card edge connector and a support bracket. The card edge connector is disposed on the baseboard to be inserted by an edge of an expansion card substantially in parallel with the baseboard. The support bracket includes a bottom wall, two lateral walls and two fastening members. The bottom wall is in contact with the baseboard. Two lateral walls extends upright from the bottom wall. Two fastening members are respectively disposed on a top edge of each lateral wall, wherein the bottom wall is selectively located at one of multiple positions on the baseboard such that an opposite edge of the expansion card is secured by the two fastening members.

Expansion card fastening mechanism

A panel assembly structure including a first connecting portion, a first screw, a second connecting portion and a second screw for fixing a display panel on a panel cover is provided. The first connecting portion having a first connecting through hole is formed on the cover and extends toward a first side of the panel. The first screw is screwed into the first connecting through hole and a first panel threaded hole on the first side for fastening the first connecting portion and the first side. The second connecting portion having a second connecting through hole is formed on the inner surface of the cover and extends toward a second side of the panel. The second screw is screwed into the second connecting through hole and a second panel threaded hole on the second side of the panel for fastening the second connecting portion and the second side.

Panel assembly structure

A pivotal hinge mechanism for a mobile computer may include a swivel seat, a support seat, and first and second pivot mounting parts. The swivel seat and the support seat cooperate to form a pivot joint that allows the swivel seat to swivel through 180 degrees with respect to the support seat. The first and second pivot mounting parts swivel about an axis that is perpendicular to the axis of the swivel seat's rotation.

Pivotal hinge mechanism for mobile computer

A fastener module for portable computers that is disposed on the host of a portable computer to fasten the LCD with the host, no matter whether the LCD is closed directly or after rotating 180 degrees; the fastener module has a pivotable eccentric hook rod biased in a normal horizontal position when not affected by magnetic effect, when the LCD closes on the host of the computer, both sides of the hook rod are affected by the magnetic effect of the magnetic component on the LCD; since the pivot of the hook rod is designed eccentrically, the magnetic moment generated by the magnetic effect for each side of the hook rod is different, so that the hook rod changes its position instantly from the normal horizontal state to a vertical state and hooks within the opening of the LCD to fasten the LCD onto the host of the portable computer.

Fastener module for portable computers

An improved pivotal hinge mechanism used for portable computer equipped with a stopper device which when portable computer and a docking station are joined together shall be actuated by the docking station to prevent the LCD of the portable computer from rotating in left and right direction, so that the collision happened between the docking station and the LCD of the portable computer due to rotation of the LCD relative to the computer mainframe shall be avoided; when the portable computer is disconnected from the docking station said stopper device shall immediately return to the normal position so that the LCD of the portable computer can rotate again in an angle of 0&#x2013;180 degrees in left and right direction with respect to the computer mainframe.

Pivotal hinge mechanism used for portable computer

A portable computer assembly includes a battery module mounted detachably on a keyboard module which includes a keyboard housing formed with a slot that is accessible from bottom and rear sides of the keyboard housing and that has a first electrical connector unit disposed therein. The battery module includes an elongated battery housing with a second electrical connector unit for engaging the first electrical connector unit. First and second mounting units are provided on opposite ends of the battery housing and have cylindrical studs for coupling pivotally with left and right side walls of the keyboard housing. The stud of the second mounting unit is capable of disengaging the keyboard housing when a press button of the second mounting unit is operated.
