  • Patent number: 11256289
    Abstract: A rotatable door structure includes a fixed casing, a door cover, and a hinge. The fixed casing has an opening. The door cover is pivotally connected to the fixed casing through the hinge. The hinge includes a shaft and a connection part. The shaft has a cam surface. The connection part has another cam surface and is rotatably connected to the shaft relative to a rotation axis. When the door cover rotates relative to the fixed casing through the hinge so as to expose the opening, the two cam surfaces abut against each other to move the door cover away relative to the fixed casing along the rotation axis. An electronic device casing includes the above rotatable door structure. Therein, the fixed casing includes an accommodating recess, which forms the opening and has at least one peripheral interface window.

  • Patent number: 9631787
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a cover module and a host having a lighting unit. The cover module has a light permeable cover, a system signal indicator, and a transmission unit. The cover has an outer surface, an opposite inner surface, and a fixing structure extended from the inner surface. The system signal indicator has a transparent portion having a plurality of indicating icons and an opaque portion. The transmission unit is fixed on the fixing structure, and the system signal indicator is sandwiched between the transmission unit and the inner surface. The cover module is installed on the host, and the transmission unit is aligned with the lighting unit. Thus, the transmission unit is used for transmitting light, emitted from the lighting unit, to the outer surface via the system signal indicator and the inner surface in turn, for showing the indicating icons on the outer surface.

  • Patent number: 9349417
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9253907
    Abstract: A panel having positioning function includes a body covering an opening on an extrusion casing, and a positioning mechanism having at least one position set. The position set includes a first rib disposed on a first side of the body, a first contact portion disposed on the first rib and contacting against an inner surface of the extrusion casing, a second rib disposed on a second side of the body, and a second contact portion disposed on the second rib and contacting against the other inner surface of the extrusion casing. A position of the second rib on the second side is symmetrized to a position of the first rib on the first side, so that the panel can align with the extrusion casing due to deformation of the position set.

  • Patent number: 8899702
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a shell base, a shell cover and a latch mechanism including an operating component, a pivot axle and a driving axle. The operating component has an access portion and two support portions extending through the shell cover. The pivot axle extends through the support portions, and has two end parts disposed at opposite lateral sides of the support portions and coupled rotatably to the shell cover. The driving axle extends through the support portions and is received in a limit groove of the shell base. The access portion is pivotable about the pivot axle from a closed position to an open position while the driving axle is positioned in the slide direction, thereby moving the pivot axle and the shell cover relative to the shell base.

  • Publication number: 20140153166
    Abstract: A detachable assembly for an electronic apparatus includes a main frame, a tray and at least one button unit. The tray for mounting a storage device is combined detachably with the main frame and includes two lateral boards. Each lateral board extends outward to form an actuation part included a hook part. Each button unit includes a button combined movably with the main frame, and the button includes a protruding part corresponding to the hook part. When the tray is combined with the main body, the tray is locked by the protruding part fixing each hook part. When each button is forced to move toward the main frame along an axis, each protruding part is released from each hook part, and the tray is pushed by each button to move along a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis. Then the tray is detached from the main frame.
