  • Publication number: 20150327378
    Abstract: A hidden handle module is adapted to a tray accommodated in a chassis. The hidden handle module includes a shaft, a handle, and first and second elastic components. The shaft is pivoted on the tray and interfered with the chassis to stop the tray moving out of the chassis. The handle is pivoted on the shaft and stopped in the tray by a stopping portion of the tray to limit the position of the shaft. The first elastic component is disposed in the tray and stops the handle moving away from the stopping portion. The second elastic portion is connected between the shaft and the tray. When the handle resists elastic force of the first elastic component and moves away from the stopping portion, the handle protrudes out of the tray by elastic force of the second elastic component, and the shaft rotates to be released by the chassis.

  • Publication number: 20150315811
    Abstract: A handle module adapted to a chassis is provided. The chassis includes a main body and a cover. The handle module includes a base, a handle, a sliding component and a linking rod. The base is disposed on the cover. The handle is pivoted to the base. The sliding component is connected to the main body and is slidably disposed on the base. Two ends of the linking rod are pivoted to the handle and the sliding component respectively. When the handle closed to the base is rotated relative to the base to be expanded from the base, the handle pulls the sliding component to slide relative to the base along a first axis by the linking rod, so as to drive the cover to move from a first position to a second position relative to the main body along the first axis.

  • Publication number: 20150189776
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes an apparatus casing, using a cover mechanism, and a device unit, disposed inside the apparatus casing. The apparatus casing includes a casing body, a pivotal device, a pivot locking mechanism, and a door. The casing body structurally constrains the door to move in a direction at a side of the casing body. After sliding, the door is engaged with the pivotal device and drives the pivot locking mechanism to unlock the pivotal device so that the door can rotate to another side of the casing body by the pivotal device relative to the casing body. A manipulation area of the casing body is therefore exposed. Thereby, a user can manipulate the device unit through the manipulation area; the inner surface of the door keeps facing toward the casing body so that the apparatus casing can keep its aesthetic appearance.

  • Publication number: 20150181730
    Abstract: An electronic device including a main body, a cover and an assembling structure is provided. The main body has two first positioning structures. The assembling structure includes two sliding components, two second positioning components and two elastic components. Each sliding component is slidably disposed on the cover and has a pressing portion. The second positioning structures are connected to the sliding components respectively and aligned to the first positioning components respectively. The elastic components are connected to the cover and connected to the sliding components respectively. Each second positioning component is positioned at the corresponding first positioning component by elastic force of the corresponding elastic component, so as to stop the cover separating from the main body. When the pressing portions receive forces at the same time to drive the second positioning structures to move away from the first positioning structures respectively, the cover is separated from the main body.

  • Publication number: 20150173217
    Abstract: A latch mechanism is provided, including a rack having a restricting structure and a linkage assembly connected to an electronic device in the rack. The linkage assembly includes a fixed frame, connected to the electronic device; a sliding frame, movable along a first direction relative to the fixed frame; a handle, connected to the sliding frame; a trigger, movably disposed between the handle and the sliding frame; and a latch member, connected to the fixed frame and the restricting structure to restrict the electronic device in the rack. When an external force is exerted on the trigger and the handle to move the sliding frame along the first direction relative the fixed frame, the trigger pushes the latch member to separate from the restricting structure along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, such that the electronic device can be drawn out of the rack.

  • Publication number: 20150136436
    Abstract: A securing mechanism includes a first securing unit fixedly disposed on a first component of an electronic device case, and a second securing unit fixedly disposed on a second component for securing the second component to the first component in a first direction. The first securing unit includes a fixture board, a limiting structure and a biasing structure. When the second securing unit extends in the first direction through an engaging through hole in the fixture board, the biasing structure biases the second securing unit in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and the second securing unit engages the limiting structure. As a result, movement of the second securing unit in a direction toward the engaging through hole is limited.

  • Publication number: 20150114051
    Abstract: A lock mechanism includes a driving arm having an arm portion and a fixing portion and a lock rod having first and second ends and a pivot portion. The pivot portion is pivoted to one of a cover and a casing. The fixing portion is disposed on the one of the cover and the casing so as to make a free end of the arm portion interfere with an interference portion of the lock rod. The arm portion swings to a first position or a second position when receiving force. When the first end or the second end is pressed, the interference portion drives the free end to make the arm portion swing to the first or second position, so as to make the lock rod move to a locking position for fixing the cover on the casing or a releasing position for releasing the cover from the casing.
