Patent number: 7505257Abstract: A body structure for a notebook type computer includes a cover, a motherboard, and a base. An electronic device integrated on the motherboard is used to fix a locking member, and the locking member can be interlocked with a locking means formed on a bottom surface of the cover. The arrangement of the locking member and locking means can replace provision of screw members at a central area in the conventional technology and overcome drawbacks caused therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2005Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Inventec CorporationInventors: Tien-Chang Lin, Xin-Jie Miao

Patent number: 7338096Abstract: A press-type latch device for establishing latched and unlatched states with a hook includes: a press member having a press portion and connection portions extending from the press portion; and a spring member having a bottom portion and first and second latch arms extending from the bottom portion. A latch space is formed between the first and second latch arms to allow the hook to enter into the latch space and engage with at least one of the latch arms. The spring member has insertion holes formed on the first latch arm to allow the connection portions to pass through and abut against the second latch arm, when pressing the press portion, the second latch arm is pushed away from the first latch arm by the abutting connection portions, thereby unlatching the hook from the latch space.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2005Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: Inventec CorporationInventors: Shu-Kun Si, Tien-Chang Lin

Publication number: 20060219596Abstract: A packaging material is used as a buffering and packaging apparatus for an electronic device arranged in a packaging box. The packaging material has a buffer holder, a side clip and at least one buffering portion. The buffering holder adjoins the bottom of the packaging box. The side clip extending upwardly from the buffering holder clamps to both sides and base of the electronic device. The buffering component extending from the side clip horizontally with respect to the buffer holder abuts against the sidewall of the packaging box.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2005Publication date: October 5, 2006Inventors: Tien-Chang Lin, Morris Min, Cecily Chen, Hua-Jun Fan

Publication number: 20060139863Abstract: A notebook computer display is disclosed having a display monitor and a joint portion that is located on a side of the display monitor. The joint portion is connected to the display monitor to support the display monitor and to serve as a reinforcement to prevent stress concentration. With the reinforcement, torsion generated during the folding/unfolding operation of the display monitor is dispersed to other parts of the display monitor, so as to prevent damage to the corner caused by stress concentration, while prolonging the durability of the folding/unfolding mechanism of the display monitor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2005Publication date: June 29, 2006Applicant: Inventec CorporationInventors: Tien-Chang Lin, Steven Wang

Patent number: 5580182Abstract: Disclosed is an engagement/disengagement mechanism provided on a peripheral allowing the peripheral to be engaged with and disengaged from a notebook computer effortlessly without the need of extra tools. To attach the peripheral to the back of the notebook computer, the user needs just to align the connector and hooks on the peripheral with the counterpart connector and opening on the back of the notebook computer, and then push forcibly the peripheral against the back of the notebook computer. To detach the peripheral from the notebook computer, the user needs just to push the presser down and then pull the peripheral backwards to make the detachment. It is this simple to make the engagement and disengagement between the peripheral and the notebook computer.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: December 3, 1996Assignee: Inventec CorporationInventor: Tien-Chang Lin
