  • Patent number: 8657610
    Abstract: A portable electronic device including a main body having one end concavely provided with a receiving groove, a pivot pin provided in the receiving groove, a pivot seat pivotally connected to the pivot pin, a transmission line having one end electrically connected to a circuit board provided in the main body and the other end extending into the receiving groove, and a plug having one end embedded in the pivot seat. Since the pivot pin has a hollow configuration, the other end of the transmission line is able to pass through the pivot pin and be electrically connected to the plug, allowing the plug to be rotated and received in the receiving groove when the portable electronic device is not in use and preventing the transmission line from being pulled or curled due to rotation of the plug.

  • Patent number: 7291027
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an external box comprising a panel, a housing, a seat, and a body, wherein the panel is secured to a rear of the housing, the seat is secured to a front of the housing, and the body is secured to the seat. The housing contains at least one mass storage device each adapted to connect to a corresponding port mounted on the seat. The body comprises at least one pivotal release mechanism each lined up with the mass storage device. The release mechanism is adapted to pivot to pass a channel of the seat to push the mass storage device in the housing further away from of a rear of the body for detaching the mass storage device from the external box by utilizing the principles of lever. By utilizing this external box, the purpose of quickly easily removing the mass storage device is achieved.
