Patent number: 9164545Abstract: A cover with an angle adjustable standing slot is used to place an electronic device. The cover includes a keyboard, a cradle with a standing slot, a torque structure, and an elastic structure. The electronic device can be placed to the standing slot. A user can push the electronic device to rotate the cradle and the cradle would force the torque structure and the elastic structure to move. The electronic device can be stopped at an appropriate viewing angle, because the force between the electronic device, the torque structure, and the elastic structure are balanced. Additionally, the user can use the keyboard on the cover to type or edit documents anytime and anywhere.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2014Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: WISTRON CORPORATIONInventors: Chien-Wei Chen, Cheng-Hsing Liu

Patent number: 7126071Abstract: A key, which is pressed for constituting close circuit, includes a key cap, a movable arm and a bottom plate. A bottom of the key cap is joined to a bend part of the movable arm. A pivot part of the movable arm is movably joined to a pivot hole of the bottom plate. The bend part surrounds at least two adjacent lateral sides of the bottom of the key cap to constitute a support plane. When the key cap is pressed down at any one spot on the key cap, the pressing force is supported by the bend part and moves the key cap downward directly instead of inclining to the side of the pressed spot. The key provides simple structure for easy assembly and requires less precision for saving fabrication cost.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2006Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Wistron Corp.Inventors: Chun-Fei Yang, Cheng-Hsing Liu, Chang-Ming Shen, Chi-Fu Ho
