  • Patent number: 7715186
    Abstract: A case of an extending base for an electronic device includes a body, a cover, and at least two link elements. The body has a hollow. The cover is disposed aside the hollow. Each link element has a first pivot part, a first block part, a second pivot part, and a first elastic member. The first pivot part has a first end pivoted on the body and a second end connected to the first block part. The second pivot part has a first end pivoted on the cover and a second end connected to the first block part. The first elastic member provides a force to push the first block part from a first position to a second position so as to correspondingly push the cover. Herein, when the first block part is positioned at the first position, the first block part is separated from the body and the cover covers the body. In addition, when the first block part is positioned at the second position, the first block part is in contact with the body and the cover is separated from the body.

  • Patent number: 7362567
    Abstract: A notebook computer expansion base with a slidable cover structure is provided, which is applicable for the expansion of various types of notebook computers. Each notebook computer has an expansion joint and a plug specification, and the expansion base includes a base and a slidable cover. The base has an expansion component and an expansion slot electrically connected to each other, and the expansion slot is connected with the expansion joint directly, such that the expansion component is electrically connected with the notebook computer, so as to expand the expansion component to the notebook computer. The slidable cover is disposed on the base and being sildable, corresponding to a plugging reference, and the distance between the slidable cover and the expansion slot is adjusted through sliding the slidable cover, so as to be applicable for different plug specifications.
