  • Patent number: 10008794
    Abstract: An operation member for an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a casing having portions defining an opening and a circuit module having a circuit board. The circuit board includes a controller. The operation member includes a body including an operating end and a coupling end, and a skirt member. The body is configured to partially protrude through the opening of the casing for operating. The skirt member is arranged at the coupling end. The skirt member includes a base plate outwardly extending from the coupling end, a wall upwardly extending from peripheral portions of the base plate, and a groove defined between the wall and the body. The operation member is configured to associate with the electronic device, and the operation member with the body and the skirt is completely separated from the casing.

  • Patent number: 9684330
    Abstract: An operation member includes a body having an operating end and a coupling end, and a skirt member. The skirt member is arranged at the coupling end. The skirt member includes a base plate outwardly extending from the coupling end, a wall extending from the base plate, and a groove defined between the outer surface of the wall and the body. The electronic device includes a casing, an operation member, and a circuit module. The casing has portions defining an opening. The circuit module has a circuit board including a controller disposed thereon. The above-mentioned operation member is sleeved onto the controller and passes through the opening. The outer surface of the operation member and the opening define a gap therebetween. The groove is correspondingly arranged proximate to the gap to gather small particles entering the gap.

  • Patent number: 9444231
    Abstract: A mounting mechanism for gripping DIN rail comprises: a main body and a latching body. The main body includes a first mounting portion having a stopper member and at least one first retaining unit, and a second mounting portion. The latching portion is movably disposed in the first mounting portion and includes at least one resilient portion and at least one second retaining unit. When one end of the latching body protrudes into the second mounting portion, the range of movement of the latching body spans from a position wherein the resilient portion abuts the stopper member to a position in wherein the second retaining unit abuts the first retaining unit. The main body is movably latched onto the DIN rail through the second mounting portion, and is fixed to a position on the DIN rail through one end of the latching body protruding into the second mounting portion.
