Abstract
An electronic device has a cavity in which a stylus can be slidably inserted. The stylus has a retaining slot thereon. Being inserted in the cavity, the stylus firstly pushes a retainer to be moved resiliently. The stylus further presses on a stylus-releasing device that terminates the cavity, thereby engaging the stylus-releasing device in a stable configuration with a resilient force. Meanwhile the retainer inserts into the retaining slot of the stylus to hold and immobilize the stylus in the cavity. To extract the stylus, a short pressing action is exerted on the stylus, which disengages the stylus-releasing device from the stable configuration, thereby the stylus-releasing device exerts a resilient force on the stylus that is ejected partially out of the cavity to facilitate a grasp of the stylus.
