Abstract
A cover restricting mechanism () is adapted for use in a foldable electronic device (). The foldable electronic device includes a cover (). The cover restricting mechanism includes a projection (), a housing (), and a stopping element (). The projection is provided at one end of the cover. The housing has an inner surface and a corresponding cavity. The stopping element is provided at the inner surface of the housing, and, when the foldable electronic device is in an open position the projection abuts the stopping element. The stopping element is made of an elastomeric material and is configured for slowing the movement of the projection and, thus, the cover once abutment occurs.
