  • Publication number: 20090008948
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a main body, a detachable object, a sliding latch element, and an elastic element. The main body has an accommodating space. The detachable object is suitable for sliding in a direction to be disposed in the accommodating space. The sliding latch element is suitable for sliding between a first position and a second position. The elastic element connects the sliding latch element and the main body. When the sliding latch element is at the second position, a first locking part of the detachable object does not lock a second locking part of the sliding latch element, a first limit part of the detachable object blocks a second limit part of the sliding latch element, and a third limit part of the sliding latch element restricts a protrusion of the detachable object such that a portion of the detachable object is exposed outside the accommodating space.

  • Publication number: 20080202905
    Abstract: A keyboard with a waterproof structure disposed in an electronic device is provided, which includes a keyboard key assembly, a waterproof membrane, and a case. The waterproof membrane is assembled on the bottom surface of the keyboard key assembly and the waterproof membrane and the keyboard key assembly are together assembled on the case. A drainage channel is opened along the case, and connected to one side of the waterproof membrane, such that a liquid poured onto the keyboard passes through the keyboard key assembly to flow on the waterproof membrane. Then, the liquid is guided to flow into the drainage channel through the side of the waterproof membrane connected to the drainage channel and afterward flow outside the electronic device through a drainage outlet of the drainage channel, thus preventing the liquid from flowing into the electronic device to cause damage to the electronic device.
