  • Function expansion device and electronic device including the same
    Patent number: 11099614
    Abstract: A function expansion device and an electronic device including the same. The function expansion device includes a casing, an expansion device and a handle. The casing has a main space and a side space. The expansion device is accommodated in the main space of the casing. The handle is slidably disposed in the side space and is thus allowed to move between a housed position and an extracted position along a sliding direction of the casing by gravitational force. A first protruding length of the handle relative to the casing when the handle is at the housed position is less than a second protruding length of the handle relative to the casing when the handle is at the extracted position. When the handle is at the extracted position, the handle is pressed against the casing to enable the casing to be moved along with the handle.
