  • Patent number: 9013868
    Abstract: An expanding platform includes a main body, a moving element, a first elastic element and at least one operating element. The main body includes a stop portion. The moving element connects moveably to the main body and includes at least one fixed element. The at least one operating element connected movably to the moving element can move relative to the moving element, and each operating element includes a first operating portion and a second operating portion. The moving element is fixed at an initial position by the stop portion blocking the second operating portion.

  • Patent number: 8596411
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a speaker cabinet for electronic device, which is disposed in an electronic device and comprises a cabinet body, two first fixing structures, two dampers, and two second fixing structures. The damper is disposed on two side surfaces of the cabinet body through the two first fixing structures and fixed on the electronic device through the two second fixing structures for fixing the cabinet body in the electronic device. The cabinet speaker according to the present disclosure adopts only two fixing structures to fix the cabinet body to the electronic device. The damper is also used for mitigating the vibrations generated by the cabinet body. In addition, the two fixing structures are used for supporting the damper for avoiding inclination of the cabinet body towards an unpredictable direction and colliding the housing of the electronic device and its internal components.

  • Patent number: 8531837
    Abstract: A pad mechanism includes a step fixing structure having a plurality of step platforms. A height difference is formed between the two step platforms. A first engaging portion is formed on each step platform. The pad mechanism further includes a pad component having a pad body, a sleeve and a constraining portion. A second engaging portion is formed on the pad body for selectively engaging with the corresponding first engaging portion so as to adjust a height of the pad body protruding from the step fixing structure. The pad mechanism further includes a resilient component sheathing with the sleeve for driving the sleeve, and a constraining component installed on a side of the resilient component and connected to the constraining portion so as to prevent the resilient component from separating from the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 8499183
    Abstract: A plug assembly includes a first plug and a second plug. The first plug includes a main body whereon a first positive electrode, a first negative electrode and a first engaging portion are formed. The second plug has a chamber structure formed inside for containing the main body. A second positive electrode, a second negative electrode and a second engaging portion are formed on the chamber structure and located in positions corresponding to the first positive electrode, the first negative electrode and the first engaging structure, respectively. As the chamber structure completely contains the main body, the second positive electrode and the second negative electrode are respectively coupled to the first positive electrode and the first negative electrode, and the second engaging portion engages the first engaging portion, such that the main body is hold inside the chamber structure.
