  • Patent number: 8404988
    Abstract: A control assembly is assembled between a housing and a printed circuit board of an electronic device. The housing defines a mounting hole. The control assembly includes a force member assembled in the mounting hole, a switch electrically fixed on the printed circuit board under the force member, and a resilient member abutted between the force member and the printed circuit board. The resilient member is compressed to allow the force member to contact the switch when external force applied to the force member.

  • Patent number: 8367236
    Abstract: A fixing mechanism to fix a battery to a main body of an electronic device includes a channel defined in the main body, the channel comprising two opposite openings at two ends thereof, a first fixing member fixed to one end of the channel, an electrically conductive second fixing member fixed to the other end of the channel, an insulated protector slidably positioned in the channel between the battery and the first fixing member; an electrical conductive member partially received in the insulated protector, and a resilient member. One end of the resilient member is fixed to the first fixing member, and the other end of the resilient member resists the electrical conductive member with the insulated protector toward the battery so that the electrical conductive member is electrically connected to an electrode of the battery.

  • Patent number: 8325492
    Abstract: A retention assembly includes a platform, a bracket, and a resisting member rotatably connected to the platform. The bracket includes a main portion and a fastening portion. The resisting member includes a resisting portion and a plurality of elastic catching tabs bending from the resisting portion. Each elastic catching tab includes a joining portion and a catching portion. The resisting member fastens the bracket to the platform. The resisting portion resists the fastening portion, and the elastic catching tab catches the main portion. A second angle formed by the joining portion and the catching portion is less than a first angle formed by the main portion and the fastening portion.

  • Publication number: 20100276557
    Abstract: A fixing mechanism for fixing a storage device to an electronic device, the fixing mechanism includes: a bracket having a base; a pair of fixing members fixed to two opposing positioning sides of the storage device; a pair of latching members fixedly disposed on the base, and aligned in parallel to each other to hold the storage device and the pair of the fixing members each engaged with the corresponding latching member to fix the storage device; and a resilient limiting member fixedly disposed on the base between the pair of the latching members to resist a top surface and a third side of the storage device. The storage device may be secured by the latching members and the resilient limiting member, or detached from the fixing mechanism depending on the resilient deformation of the resilient limiting member or the restoring elastic force of resilient limiting member.
