  • Publication number: 20040194256
    Abstract: A two-sided POP UP structure is employed to pop up a LCD screen of notebook/tablet PC while releasing. A display panel of a notebook/tablet PC is connected to a mainframe of the notebook/tablet PC via a hinge. The two-sided POP UP structure has a male part and female part. One end of the male part is fixed to the hinge, and the other end is a cylinder with a holding rib. One end of the female part is fixed to the display panel, and the other end is an elastic metal shaped around the cylinder of the male part. The elastic metal is cut to form a rotation slot for the holding rib. When the holding rib interferes with the elastic metal, the elastic metal deforms to allow the LCD screen to pop up more easily.

  • Publication number: 20040189017
    Abstract: A magnetic locking device is described. The magnetic locking device is utilized for locking an electric device upper cover especially for locking both sides of the display cover of a notebook/tablet dual-purpose personal computer. The magnetic locking device has a lock module and a hook module. The lock module installed in the upper cover has a lock module base, a release button, a magnet, a first bezel and a second bezel. The hook module installed in the electric device base has a hook module base, a spring device, and a hook. The spring device pulls the hook to hide in the electric device base when the hook is not working to improve the electric device appearance and to eliminate interference during operation.

  • Publication number: 20040141284
    Abstract: A rotatable display fixing module is described. The rotatable display fixing module has a first rotational device, a second rotational device, a fixing switch and an auxiliary fixing stud. The first rotational device rotatably connects with a display and the second rotational device. The fixing switch and the auxiliary fixing stud rebound up to fix the second rotational device at predetermined angles and the auxiliary fixing stud passes through a fixing hole on a rotational element of the second rotational device. The display can therefore rotate on the first rotational device only. When the fixing switch and the auxiliary fixing stud are pressed, the display can rotate on the first rotational device and the second rotational device.

  • Patent number: 6751090
    Abstract: A rotatable display fixing module is described. The rotatable display fixing module has a first rotational device, a second rotational device and a fixing switch. The first rotational device rotatable connects with a display and the second rotational device. The fixing switch rebounds up to fix the second rotational device at predetermined angles and then the display can rotate with the first rotational device only. The module further comprises a locking device to lock the fixing switch when the fixing switch is pressed down. A linkage device can release the fixing switch from the locking device at the predetermined angles and then the fixing switch rebounds up due to a spring device.
