  • Publication number: 20140217874
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a cover member rotatably connected to a base member. A magnetic lock is located on a working surface of the base member. A touch-sensitive bar is located on a side surface of the base member. When the cover member and the base member are closed, the magnetic lock provides a magnetic attraction between the cover member and the base member. When the touch-sensitive bar detects a touch gesture input by a user and the touch gesture matches a predefined touch gesture, the magnetic lock releases the magnetic attraction between the cover member and the base member.

  • Publication number: 20140218847
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a base, a display and a rotating member. The rotating member includes a rotating portion and an installation portion. The rotating portion is rotatably mounted to the base. An installation shaft is secured to the installation portion. The display is rotatable relative to the rotating member about the installation shaft. The rotating member is rotatable relative to the base between a first position and a second position. When the rotating member is in the first position, the installation shaft is above the base, and the display is rotatable from an initial position to a first open position. When the rotating member is in the second position, the installation shaft is below the base, and the display is rotatable from the first open position to a second open position. The display rotates 360 degrees from the initial position to the second open position.

  • Publication number: 20140112522
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus for an audio module includes an enclosure base and an enclosure cover. The audio module is pivotally mounted in the enclosure base. A first rotating rod is positioned on the sides of the audio module. An elastic member is mounted on and a plurality of first teeth protrude from one side of the first rotating rod. A gear is pivotally mounted in the enclosure base. A plurality of second teeth protrude from the gear corresponding to the plurality of first teeth. The elastic member is elastically deformed in its original state, and the audio module is received in the enclosure base. When the enclosure cover is rotated away from the enclosure base, the elastic member rotates the first rotating rod, the first rotating rod rotates the gear, and the audio module extends to outside of the enclosure base.
