  • Patent number: 8622646
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a frame defining a slot and a first through hole, a slot cover moveably received in the slot, a latching member rotateably connected to the frame, and a torsion spring. The latching member includes a first arm and a second arm protruding therefrom and extending in opposite directions. When the latching member is at a locking position, the first arm faces the first through hole, and the second arm engages an elastic hook to retain the cover in the slot. The spring includes a first arm fixed to the first arm and a second arm fixed to the frame. The latching member is driven to rotate when the first arm is pushed by an elongated object passing through the first through hole, causing the second arm push the elastic hook to be deformed, thereby allowing the second arm to disengage from the elastic hook.

  • Patent number: 8598479
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a switch, a housing, a button, and an elastic element. The housing includes a cover and a sidewall enclosing the cover. The sidewall defines a receiving hole. The button is received in the receiving hole. The elastic element includes a base, a resisting portion, and an angled elastic arm connecting the resisting portion to the base. The resisting portion abuts against the button. The base is fixed to the cover. The elastic arm deflects when the button is pushed by an external force to actuate the switch, and rebounds to cause the button to move back when the external force has ceased.

  • Patent number: 8432682
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing defining a slot, a card socket, a slot cover moveably received in the slot, and an elastic piece. The card socket is capable of ejecting an electronic card out when pressed. The cover defines a through hole and an elastic hook engaging the slot to retain the cover in the slot. The elastic piece includes a base facing the first through hole, and a pair of arms connected to opposite ends of the base and abutting against the cover. The elastic piece is urged to be deformed to push the cover when the base is pushed by an object passing through the through hole, causing the hook to disengage from the slot. Then the base pushes the card to move inwardly, causing the card socket to push the card and the cover to move out of the slot in union.
