  • Publication number: 20150211273
    Abstract: A bracket for an electronic device is provided. The bracket includes a shaft, a second limiting component, and a first elastic component. A first limiting component is disposed at one end of the shaft. The second limiting component is disposed corresponding to the first limiting component. The first elastic component is connected with the second limiting component to make the first limiting component and the second limiting component form a holding state. When the shaft is rotated to reach a predetermined angle range, the first limiting component pushes against the second limiting component and forms a releasing state to detach a body from a base of the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20140099163
    Abstract: A clamping component and an electronic device using the same are provided. The clamping component includes a base and a combining portion. The base is disposed at one side of an accommodating space of the body. The combining portion has a obstructing structure and is disposed at the base. The obstructing structure is exposed to the accommodating space. When the second body is received into the accommodating space, the obstructing structure is elastically deformed to against the second body. The clamping component of the disclosure make the two bodies disassembled and assembled without affecting the appearance, and therefore the aesthetic of the two bodies can be maintained, further, the obstructing structure can improve the convenience in assembling the electronic device. In addition, the risk that the second body is detached from the first body under the external shock or a sudden vibration can be reduced via the clamping component.

  • Publication number: 20100128352
    Abstract: The invention discloses a light-guiding plate and a manufacturing method thereof. The light-guiding plate includes a light-guiding substrate, a first shielding layer, and a second shielding layer. The light-guiding substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first shielding layer is disposed on the first surface and includes a first light-transmitting portion. The second shielding layer is disposed on the second surface and includes a second light-transmitting portion. Thereby, light emitted from a light source could pass through the first light-transmitting portion, the light-guiding substrate, and the second light-transmitting portion, so that a light-halo phenomenon does not occur on the light-guiding plate.
