  • Patent number: 7989698
    Abstract: An exemplary electronic apparatus (100) includes a main body (10), a lid (20) connecting with and rotating with respect to the main body between an opened position and a closed position, and a sliding bar (35) located in the main body. The main body defines a fastening hole (137), and includes a block portion (132) extending upwardly from an outer edge of the fastening hole. The block portion includes a side block portion (131) and a top block portion (134) connecting with the side block portion. The lid includes a hook (31) aligning with the fastening hole. The sliding bar includes a main bar (351) movably fastened onto the main body, a limiting portion (353) extending from the main bar, and a hook portion (357) extending from the limiting portion for fastening onto the hook. The limiting portion is blocked between the side block portion and the top block portion.

  • Patent number: 7971317
    Abstract: A hinge assembly and a portable electronic device are provided. The portable electronic device includes a lid, a main body, and a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly pivotly connects the lid to the main body. The hinge assembly includes a pivot element, a torsion spring, and a hinge brace. The pivot element is formed on the lid and partially and rotatably received in the main body. The torsion spring is assembled between the lid and the main body. When the lid is in a closed position with respect to the main body, the torsion spring becomes constricted and accumulates potential energy. When the lid is opened from the main body, the potential energy of the torsion spring is released to drive the lid to rotate to an open position with respect to the main body. The hinge brace is attached to the main body for blocking an excessive rotation of the lid with respect to the main body.

  • Publication number: 20090158552
    Abstract: A flip-type electronic apparatus includes a base panel, a cover, and a latch mechanism pivotably fastening the cover to the base panel. At least one post extends from the cover into the base panel. The latch mechanism includes a button mounted on the base panel, and a sliding bar received in the base panel. At least one limiting portion is formed on one lateral side of the sliding bar receiving the post of the cover. The sliding bar forms a pair of inclined operating surfaces, and the button forms at least one inclined actuating surface abutting at least one of the pair of inclined operating surface. When the button is pressed, the actuating surfaces pushes the operating surfaces to cause the sliding bar to move away from the button, and thus the post is released from the limiting portion for opening the cover of the electronic apparatus.
