Abstract

A linkage mechanism including a base, at least one first linking rod, a first linkage member and a driving member is provided. Each of the at least one first linking rod includes a first pivot portion and a second pivot portion. Each of the first linking rod is pivoted to the base via the first pivot portion. The first linking member includes a first engaged portion and a first groove along a first direction. Each of the first linking rod is pivoted in the first groove of the first linkage member via the second pivot portion. The first linking rod is connected to the driving member. When the driving member is located at an unlocked position, the first engaged portion is retracted inside the base. When the driving member is moved from the unlocked position to a locked position, the first linking rod is driven by the driving member, so that the first linkage member is moved along a second direction, and the first engaged portion protrudes from the base. An electronic device is further provided.
