  • Publication number: 20110170262
    Abstract: An electronic device housing includes a housing body, a movable foot pad mechanism disposed in housing body, a ventilation grille, a fan, and a fan switch connected electrically to the fan. The movable foot pad mechanism includes a foot pad pivoted to a bottom wall of the housing body. The foot pad is turnable pivotally to prop up the housing body so as to increase a space below a bottom of housing body. When the foot pad is being turned pivotally to prop up the housing body, the ventilation grille is moved simultaneously so as to make the space inside the housing body open to the ambient environment, and the fan is activated for heat dissipation, thereby increasing the heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic device housing.

  • Publication number: 20110164356
    Abstract: A pad for portable electronics mounted on a housing of portable electronics is revealed. The pad includes a lower fastener, a buffer member arranged above the lower fastener, an upper fastener connected with the buffer member and mounted onto the housing, and a gripping member disposed above the upper fastener. The housing is arranged with an insertion hole. The gripping member penetrates the insertion hole and clips to a side wall of the housing. Thus there is no need to arrange the pad by adhesives or thermal fusion. Moreover, the height of the pad disposed is adjusted automatically by the buffer member. Therefore, the convenience of use of the pad is increased.

  • Publication number: 20100301717
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a handle structure and a housing. The housing has an opening. The handle structure is retractably disposed in the housing and includes an engaging module and a handle module. The engaging module includes a first engaging portion disposed on the housing. The handle module is movably connected to the housing and includes a main body, an elastic element and a second engaging portion. The elastic element provides an elastic force for the main body to move toward the opening. When the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are disposed at an engaging portion, at least a portion of the main body is disposed in the housing. When the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are disposed at a separating position, the main body protrudes from the housing.

  • Publication number: 20100090622
    Abstract: A monitor opening mechanism includes a first rotating shaft rotatably connected to a host and having a first toothed portion. A stepper motor is disposed in the host and includes a second rotating shaft having a second toothed portion engaging the first toothed portion. A fine-tuning control circuit board is electrically connected to the stepper motor. A first fine-tuning key is electrically connected to the fine-tuning control circuit board. When the first fine-tuning key is operated, the fine-tuning control circuit board drives the second rotating shaft to rotate, forcing the monitor to rotate with respect to the host in a first direction. A second fine-tuning key is electrically connected to the fine-tuning control circuit board. When the second fine-tuning key is operated, the fine-tuning control circuit board drives the second rotating shaft to rotate, forcing the monitor to rotate with respect to the host in a second direction.
