BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a dummy card cleaning device and, more particularly, to a dummy card cleaning device capable of being stored in an electronic device.
2. Description of the Related Art
For cleaning dust and maintaining a clean surface of a computer, cleaning tools, such like brush, are developed and provided. To facilitate hand carrying, conventional brushes that specially designed for a portable computer are mostly pocket-sized. However, since conventional brushes are individual from the portable computer, the user may feel awkward putting it in the pocket or might forget to bring, thus the brushes cannot be felt free to use when in need.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe invention discloses a dummy card cleaning device capable of being stored in the electronic device.
According to the invention, a non-functional component in the electronic device such as a dummy card, which is inserted in a card slot of a portable computer device to prevent infringement of the dust, is improved to be a dummy card cleaning device that provides a cleaning function. Since the non-functional component is permanently disposed in the electronic device, the user does not need to particularly bring it, and therefore is convenient to use.
According to the invention, the dummy card cleaning device is adapted to be inserted in a card slot of an electronic device. The dummy card cleaning device includes a body and a brush. The body is accommodating to the card slot. The brush is connected to the body.
Therefore, according to the invention, the dummy card cleaning device is stored in the slot in the electronic device and carried along with the electronic device to allow a free, rapid and convenient use as cleaning the electronic device is require.
These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with regard to the following description, appended claims, and accompanying drawings.
Said positioning portion may be formed on a top portion or side edge of the body (102 or 103) or the handle 104b. Since the position and the structure of the connecting mechanisms in the electronic devices are different, and the positioning portions are also different, the positioning portion is not illustrated in detail in present embodiment.
The invention may be adapted to electronic devices such as notebook computers, palm computers, desktop computers, personal digital assistants (PDA), mobile phones, cameras or other portable electronic devices or computers.
To sum up, the dummy card cleaning device in the invention may be stored in the slot of an electronic device to be brought along with the electronic device. Thus, the user may immediately and conveniently get the dummy card cleaning device from the slot for use.
Although the present invention has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, the disclosure is not for limiting the scope of the invention. Persons having ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and changes without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
