  • Patent number: 9582047
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a first pivot structure, a second pivot structure, and a locking structure not in contact with the second pivot structure. The second pivot structure is pivoted to the first body along a first axis through the first pivot structure. The second body is pivoted to the first pivot structure along a second axis through the second pivot structure. When the second body is unfolded to an open position along the first axis, the first pivot structure drives the locking structure to go to an unlocked state, and the second body is adapted to rotate along the second axis. When the second body is folded or unfolded to other positions along the first axis, the first pivot structure drives the locking structure to go to a locked state, and the locking structure stops the second body rotating along the second axis.

  • Patent number: 9354666
    Abstract: An electronic device including a first body, an input module and a second body is provided. The first body has a positioning structure. The input module is slidably disposed on the first body and positioned at a first position by the positioning structure. The second body is pivoted with the first body. When the second body is expanded relative to the first body to obtain a first included angle between the first body and the second body, the second body drives the positioning structure to release the input module, such that the input module is capable of sliding from the first position to a second position relative to the first body and separating from the positioning structure.

  • Patent number: 9025324
    Abstract: An electronic device includes first and second bodies. The second body includes a display module and a supporting assembly. The supporting assembly includes a sliding component slidably disposed on the display module and a pivot component pivoted to the first body and the sliding component. When the second body expands from the first body through the rotation of the pivot component relative to the first body, the sliding component and the pivot component are adapted to rotate relative to each other so that a bottom side of the display module moves to a predetermined position on the first body. When the bottom side is located at the predetermined position, the sliding component and the display module are adapted to slide relative to each other so that the display module rotate around the bottom side, so as to change an included angle between the display module and the first body.
