  • Patent number: 8902201
    Abstract: An assembling infrared touch control module includes four L-shaped first frame members and a plurality of straight second frame members matched in pairs. Each first and second frame member has a space therein and two openings at two ends thereof, respectively, in communication with the space. Each space has a circuit board therein. Each circuit board has a plurality of infrared transmitter/receiver components thereon and two connectors thereon at the two openings, respectively. The four first frame members and the second frame members, whose number may be increased or decreased by demand, are assembled together to form a frame by the connectors, so that an active touch area of the frame may be resized by demand to be adapted to a display device of any size, and an additional touch control function adapted to an extended area for the display device may be set.

  • Patent number: 8803809
    Abstract: The invention provides an optical touch device, including a main body, a keyboard and a light emitting member. The keyboard, placed on the main body and having a first end portion and a second end portion, includes a supporting frame, a keycap and a stopping member. The keycap is connected to the supporting frame and moves between a first position and a second position. The stopping member is connected to the keycap and moves simultaneously with the keycap. The light emitting member generates a light beam to the keyboard. When the keycap is in the first position, the light beam passes through the first end portion to the second end portion, and when the keycap is in the second position, the light beam is terminated by the stopping member, such that the light does not reach the second end portion.

  • Patent number: 7152443
    Abstract: A lockable case includes a base casing having two opposite first lateral walls, a top cover openably connected to the base casing, a slide block, and two slide bars disposed respectively on two opposite sides of the slide block. Each slide bar has an inner end, and a locking element to engage a corresponding first lateral wall. The slide block is disposed between the inner ends of the slide bars, and is movable between locking and unlocking positions that respectively prevents and permits inward movement of the slide bars. An actuating lever is connected pivotally to the slide block to move the slide block to the locking position. An elastic member is provided for biasing the slide block toward the unlocking position.

  • Patent number: 7061752
    Abstract: A foldable electronic device includes first and second members interconnected pivotally by a coupling unit. The first and second members have first and second positioning portions, respectively. The coupling unit includes a coupling link, a slide link and a biasing member. The coupling link has a first end portion retained rotatably at the first positioning portion, and an opposite second end portion extending in a longitudinal direction. The slide link is retained slidably on the coupling link for sliding along the longitudinal direction, and is retained rotatably at the second positioning portion. The biasing member pulls the slide link toward the first member. The coupling unit permits movement of the second member in sequence from an unfolded position, a first intermediate position, a second intermediate position, and to a folded position relative to the first member.
