  • Patent number: 10368454
    Abstract: A shock absorbing structure includes at least one protruding column and at least one resilient module. The at least one protruding column is fixed on an electronic device and passes through a circuit board of the electronic device. The at least one resilient module is disposed between the at least one protruding column and the circuit board. When the electronic device is affected by an external shock load, the at least one resilient module is forced by the circuit board to be deformed for generating a resilient force. When the at least one resilient module is not forced by the circuit board any more, the resilient force generated by the at least one resilient module drives the circuit board to recover.

  • Patent number: 9042104
    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes an electronic module and an electronic module fixing structure. The electronic module fixing structure includes a main body, a sliding component, a rod and an elastic component connected between the main body and the sliding component. The main body has a track with a positioning portion. The sliding component is slidably disposed on the main body. The rod is rotatably connected with the sliding component. An end of the rod is adapted to move along the track. When the end is located at the positioning portion, the end and the positioning portion are interfered with each other to position the sliding component. When the electronic module pushes the sliding component, the rod is rotated to drive the end to move away from the positioning portion, and the sliding component pushes the electronic module away from the main body through elastic force of the elastic component.

  • Patent number: 7762515
    Abstract: The invention discloses an adjustable support apparatus for adjusting an object to a target position. The adjustable support apparatus comprises a metal member, a support member, and a magnetic member. The metal member has an inner space. The support member has a first end and a second end, and is movably disposed in the inner space of the metal member through the first end. The object is attached on the second end. The magnetic member is disposed on the support member and is adjacent to the first end. A magnetic force exists between the magnetic member and the metal member. When an external force capable of overcoming the magnetic force is applied on the object or the support member, the support member moves with respect to the metal member; and when the external force disappears, the magnetic force makes the support member stay at the target position statically.

  • Patent number: 7586743
    Abstract: The invention discloses a portable electronic apparatus with an adjustable display panel. The portable electronic apparatus uses a retained portion cooperated with a plurality of retaining portions (like a recess) to support the display panel. Thereby, the display panel of the portable electronic apparatus can be adjusted to a plurality of angles so as to adapt to real conditions, such as angles of light source, operational behaviors of users and the like, which further enhances the utility of the portable electronic apparatus. Furthermore, because the supporting force offered by the retained portion cooperated with the retaining portions is greater than a pressing force generated as a user operates the display panel, the display panel can remain steady when the user operates the display panel.
