  • Patent number: 8111512
    Abstract: A handheld electronic device including a first body, a second body, a linkage mechanism, and a stand is provided. The second body is slidingly disposed on the first body. The linkage mechanism is disposed between the first body and the second body. The linkage mechanism has a driven end and a drive end, wherein the driven end is driven by the first body and the second body. The stand is slidingly disposed between the first body and the second body and is driven by the drive end of the linkage mechanism. When the second body moves away the first body along an operation direction, the drive end drives the stand to move along the operation direction and the stand is exposed by the first body. The handheld electronic device then achieves a standing function through the stand.

  • Patent number: 8107235
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a first module, a second module, a flexible printed circuit board, a first protecting cover and a second protecting cover. The first module comprises a bottom plate. The second module is disposed below the first module and comprises a top plate. The flexible printed circuit board connects the first module and the second module. The first protecting cover is disposed below the top plate. The second protecting cover is disposed below the top plate, wherein an end of the second protecting cover is fixed on the bottom plate. When the first module slides relative to the second module from a first position to a second position, the bottom plate forces the second protecting cover to change from a closed state to an opened state to totally cover the flexible printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 8099145
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first module, a second module, and a connecting member. The first module includes a bottom plate having a first slot and a rail corresponding to the first slot. The second module includes a top plate having a second slot and a slide bar overlapping a portion of the second slot. The connecting member passes through the first slot and the second slot and connects the rail and the slide bar. When the first module slides relative to the second module from a first position to a second position in a direction, the connecting member slides along the rail, and when the first module slides relative to the second module from the second position to a third position in the direction, the connecting member forces the slide bar to slide along the second slot.

  • Publication number: 20110110548
    Abstract: A handheld electronic device including a first body, a second body, a stand and a gear set is provided. The first body has a first rack. The second body is slidably coupled with the first body. The stand having a second rack is slidably coupled with the first body and located between the first body and the second body. The gear set has a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion and is pivoted on the second body. The first and second engaging portions are engaged with the first and second racks respectively. When the first body is shifted a first distance with respect to the second body, the first body drives the gear set to rotate by the first rack, and the gear set drives the stand to be shifted a second distance greater than the first distance with respect to the second body by the second rack.
