Patent number: 8050032Abstract: A laptop elevation device (1) that attaches to a bottom surface (13) of a laptop (12). Each laptop elevation device has a fold-up leg (2) pivotally or hingedly attached to a base (3). An arm (5) is pivotally attached to the base. When the laptop elevation device is in an open position, the arm may be folded downward to engage one of a plurality of holes (9) located on the leg, thereby locking the laptop elevation device at a desired height. The base may be built into a laptop or attached to the underside of an existing laptop using an attachment means (14). The leg may also have a layer of rubber (11) to prevent the leg from slipping while in use. A clip (11) located on the base locks the leg and arm in place while the laptop elevation device is in folded position. An alternative embodiment of the laptop elevation device provides a handle (17) for carrying the laptop computer.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2009Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Inventor: Brian T. Trang

Patent number: 8000089Abstract: A modularized device includes a seat body, a first assembly unit, a cover, and a second assembly unit. The first assembly unit is fixed within the seat body and includes a first engaging portion. The cover removably covers the seat body. The second assembly unit is mounted on a bottom surface of the cover and is movable relative to the cover. The second assembly unit includes a second engaging portion having a shape complementary to that of the first engaging portion. The second assembly unit is movable relative to the cover to compensate an amount of deviation caused by tolerances so that the second engaging portion is adjustable to correspondingly engage the first engaging portion when the cover is secured to the seat body.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2008Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Aopen IncInventor: Chun Chang

Patent number: 7986524Abstract: A electronic device includes a housing, a cover detachably mounted on the housing and a releasing assembly. The housing has a first surface and two latching hooks disposed on the first surface. The releasing assembly is mounted on the cover to assemble the cover to the housing and detach the cover from the housing. The releasing assembly includes a fixing base mounted on the cover, two latching pieces, an elastic piece and a releasing piece. The two latching pieces are slidably mounted on the fixing base and both includes a latching end exposing out of the fixing base. The elastic piece is elastically assembled to the fixing base to connect the two latching pieces together. The releasing piece is releasably assembled to the fixing base for releasably resisting on the two latching pieces to make the latching pieces release from the corresponding latching hooks.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2009Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignees: Shenzhen Futaihong Precision Industry Co., Ltd., FIH (Hong Kong) LimitedInventors: Shui-Jin Dong, Yu Zhang
