Abstract
An engaging and outward pushing mechanism for expansion module/cell of portable computer is disclosed. The mechanism includes at least one pushing member pivotally disposed in the portable computer base adjacent to a chamber of the base. The chamber is for receiving the expansion module or the cell. The pushing member is composed of an engaging section and a pushing section fitted with each other. When a user desires to push the expansion module/cell into the base, the engaging section of the pushing member is pushed away from the pushing section for smoothly placing the expansion module/cell into the base. Reversely, when the user desires to take the expansion module/cell out of the base, first the engaging section of the pushing member is pushed away from the pushing section and then the engaging section is outward rotated away from the base so as to push the expansion module/cell out of the base in a quite strength-saving manner.
