Patent number: 10119561Abstract: A latch module includes a fixing member and a sliding member. A first surface of the fixing member is configured to align and engage with a mounting surface of a detachable device. A sliding unit of the sliding member is relative to a guiding unit of the fixing member and allows the sliding member to slide linearly with respect to the fixing member. The sliding member includes a pushing portion corresponding to a switching column on a resilient arm of the fixing member. While the sliding member is slid to a first position, the switching column is away from the pushing portion and a convex portion of the resilient arm tends to push against the mounting surface. While the sliding member is slid to a second position, the pushing portion pushes the switching column to drive the convex portion away from the mounting surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2017Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: DELTA ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Chii-How Chang, Yao-Ju Peng
