  • Electronic device and locking mechanism
    Patent number: 9164549
    Abstract: An electronic device including a main body, a shell and a locking mechanism is provided. The locking mechanism includes a first locking component and at least one second locking component. The first locking component is slidably disposed at the main body, locks the shell and has at least one retaining portion. The second locking component is slidably disposed at the main body and locks the shell. The retaining portion blocks the second locking component from sliding relatively to the main body. When the first locking component slides relatively to the main body to release the shell, the retaining portion moves away from the second locking component and the second locking component slides relatively to the main body to release the shell.
