  • Patent number: 10959340
    Abstract: A waterproof module includes a frame, a sliding member, a ring-shaped sealing member, a cover and an adjusting member. The frame has an accommodating recess. The sliding member is disposed in the accommodating recess and has a tapered structure. An end of the tapered structure is between the frame and the ring-shaped sealing member. The cover is disposed on the frame. The adjusting member is connected to the sliding member. When the adjusting member drives the sliding member to move within the accommodating recess towards a first direction, the tapered structure pushes the ring-shaped sealing member to move towards a second direction, wherein the first direction is different from the second direction.

  • Patent number: 10164372
    Abstract: An electrical connecting assembly is provided, including a male connector and a female connector corresponding to the male connector. The male connector has a first insulating body and a conductive member protruding from the insulating body. The female connector has a second insulating body, a hollow conductive seat, a resilient element, and sliding unit. The second insulating body has an opening portion and a chamber for receiving the conductive member. The conductive seat is disposed in the chamber, the sliding unit is movably disposed in the conductive seat, and the resilient element connects the sliding unit to the conductive seat. Specifically, the internal diameter of the opening portion is shorter than the internal diameter of the conductive seat, and the resilient element forces the sliding unit to move to the opening portion, so that the sliding unit forms a seal with the opening portion.

  • Patent number: 9625955
    Abstract: An electronic device with a flexible assembly, comprising a housing, a positioning assembly and a flexible display, is provided. The housing comprises a first cover plate, a second cover plate and a flexible assembly. The flexible assembly is bendably connected to the first and second cover plates, so that the first cover plate closes on the second cover plate or opens to a limit angle with respect to the second cover plate and then stops. The positioning assembly is disposed on the housing for positioning the first cover plate, the flexible assembly and the second cover plate in an open state or a closed state. When the first cover plate opens to the limit angle with respect to the second cover plate, the positioning assembly prevents the first cover plate from rotating in a reverse direction with respect to the second cover plate.

  • Patent number: 9030830
    Abstract: A containing case suitable to be installed at an electronic device includes a main body, a cover and an elastic locking element. The cover is pivoted at the main body and has a protrusion portion, in which a side of the protrusion portion has a locking surface and the other side of the protrusion portion has a guiding slope. The elastic locking element is movably disposed at the main body and has a locking portion. When the cover is closed to the main body and drives the protrusion portion to apply force onto the elastic locking element, the elastic locking element is elastically deformed and the locking portion moves along the guiding slope and then crosses the protrusion portion to reach the locking surface so that the cover is locked at the main body by the locking portion.
