  • Publication number: 20130102179
    Abstract: A locking assembly used to lock an electronic device defining at least one latching hole in a communication apparatus includes a housing including a mounting board and a front board, a latching member fixed to the mounting board, a button member mounted between the front board and the latching member, an urging member pivotably connected to the housing and an elastic member elastically connected between the housing and the urging member. The latching member includes at least one latching portion to engage with the at least one latching hole. When the button member moves relative to the housing and compels the at least one latching portion to disengage with the at least one latching hole, the urging member is enabled to push the electronic device to move out from the communication apparatus via elastic deformation energy of the elastic member.

  • Patent number: 8373978
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an enclosure and a fixing assembly attached to the enclosure. The fixing assembly includes fixing portion rotatably attached to the enclosure, a resilient element fixed to the fixing portion and an adjusting portion non-rotatably fixed to the enclosure. The fixing portion and the enclosure cooperatively define a receiving room to receive the adjusting portion and the resilient element. The resilient element includes a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion. The adjusting portion is substantially circle-shaped and defines a plurality of positioning teeth configured on a peripheral circumference of the adjusting portion. Friction between the positioning teeth of the adjusting portion and the first and second engaging portion of the resilient element causes the first engaging portion and a second engaging portion tightly engage with the plurality of positioning teeth to non-rotatably position the enclosure at different angles relative to the fixing assembly.

  • Publication number: 20120014046
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an enclosure and a fixing member. The enclosure includes a bottom wall configured with a plurality of positioning posts perpendicularly protruding from an outer surface of the bottom wall. Each of the positioning posts includes a hook and a base connecting between the hook and the bottom wall. The fixing member attached to the bottom wall includes a positioning portion. The positioning portion defines an engaging hole engageable with the positioning posts and a plurality of positioning teeth configured on edges of the positioning portion and engageable with the base. The enclosure can be positioned at different angles relative to the fixing member due to friction between the positioning teeth of the positioning portion and the base as well as tight attachment of the hook to the positioning portion.
