Publication number: 20060133019Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a latch assembly comprises a plurality of latches configured to engage with a plurality of latch sockets appropriately situated at corners of an electronic device. A release mechanism is adapted to secure and subsequently release the plurality of latches from the plurality of latch sockets. The release mechanism includes a spring-biased release button, and a plurality of links rotationally coupled to the release button. The first link is adapted to prevent vertical movement of the first latch when the first link is placed in a first position caused when the cover is placed in a closed position. When the release button is depressed, the first link is placed into a second position to allow the cover to be opened.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2004Publication date: June 22, 2006Inventors: Fuminori Yamazaki, Kenji Shimano, Masakazu Okumura, Jim Fullalove, Martin Riddiford, Patrick Hunt

Publication number: 20060005211Abstract: A portable computer includes a first housing having a slot, an optical disk drive, an ejection mechanism, and a sealing member. The optical disk drive has a tray, and a bezel disposed at the end of the tray. When the tray has moved to a first position where it lies inside the first housing, the bezel lies inside the slot and shuts the slot. The ejection mechanism moves the tray from the first position to a second position where this tray springs out of the first housing. The sealing member has a base portion which is disposed over entire periphery of the inner edge portion of the slot, and a protrusion which protrudes inward of the slot from the base portion. The sealing member seals the gap between the bezel and the slot when the tray has moved to the first position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2005Publication date: January 5, 2006Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Fuminori Yamazaki, Hiroshi Nakamura
