Patent number: 9349417Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes an apparatus casing, using a cover mechanism, and a device unit, disposed inside the apparatus casing. The apparatus casing includes a casing body, a pivotal device, a pivot locking mechanism, and a door. The casing body structurally constrains the door to move in a direction at a side of the casing body. After sliding, the door is engaged with the pivotal device and drives the pivot locking mechanism to unlock the pivotal device so that the door can rotate to another side of the casing body by the pivotal device relative to the casing body. A manipulation area of the casing body is therefore exposed. Thereby, a user can manipulate the device unit through the manipulation area; the inner surface of the door keeps facing toward the casing body so that the apparatus casing can keep its aesthetic appearance.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Wistron CorporationInventors: Zhong-hui Mao, Dong-Ying Chen
