  • Patent number: 8978495
    Abstract: A synchronous movement-aid device for slide module includes at least one aid device. The aid device includes a first arm, a second arm connected with the first arm and a rotational wheel connected with the second arm and rotatable with the movement of the second arm. The first arm has a pivoted end mounted on a rail. When an external force is applied to the first arm, the pivoted end can freely move along the rail relative to the second arm. The second arm has a fixed end connected to the rotational wheel. When the first arm moves along the rail, the rotational wheel is driven to rotate so as to achieve better synchronous movement effect than the conventional slide mechanism.

  • Patent number: 8964381
    Abstract: An electronic device locking/unlocking mechanism assembled with an electronic device. The locking/unlocking mechanism includes a connection arm movable between a first position and a second position. The connection arm has a first end and a second end. An elastic unit is disposed at the first end of the connection arm to normally apply an elastic force to the connection arm for keeping the connection arm positioned in the first position. A locking section is disposed at the second end of the connection arm. The locking section is held in a dent formed on the electronic device. When the connection arm is moved to the second position, the locking section is released from the held state, whereby a pivot pin is unstressed to automatically bound open the electronic device. This eliminates the problem existing in the conventional mechanism that the electronic device is uneasy to open.

  • Patent number: 8947867
    Abstract: A sliding-type electronic apparatus with a strengthening force structure includes a body served as a system terminal and an upper cover disposed on the body and having a surface configured with a touch screen. A sliding and cover-lifting member constituted by a sliding rail, a sliding member and a pivot shaft device is at least disposed between the body and the upper cover. In a normal state, a supporting device, together with the sliding and cover-lifting member, is horizontally and supportively placed in a preset concave chamber space of the body. The auxiliary supporting devices can be formed as an inclined auxiliary support structure on the rear surface of the upper cover when the upper cover is lifted, thereby effectively increasing the screen touch resistance to inhibit screen wobble in an operation process and to promote the support effect and operation stability of the screen.

  • Patent number: 8833190
    Abstract: A relative-rotation synchronous movement-aid device, which has a simple structure and is easy to assemble. The synchronous movement-aid device includes a linking arm and a rotational wheel assembled with the linking arm. The linking arm has a pivoted end and a free end mounted on the rotational wheel. The pivoted end is mounted on a rail. When an external force is applied to the linking arm, the pivoted end can freely move along the rail. The free end serves to make the rotational wheel relatively rotate along with the movement of the linking arm to achieve better synchronous movement effect than the conventional slide mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20140021727
    Abstract: An opening-aid locking/unlocking mechanism of electronic device, which is assembled with the electronic device. The electronic device includes a movable module and a device body module. The opening-aid locking/unlocking mechanism is disposed between the movable module and the device body module. The opening-aid locking/unlocking mechanism includes an elastic section. When the movable module is closed and locked with the device body module, the elastic section stores energy. When the movable module is unlocked, the elastic section releases energy to push open the movable module or the device body module so as to eliminate the problem existing in the conventional mechanism that the electronic device is uneasy to open and the pressure exerted on a user's hand is increased.
