  • Patent number: 8721354
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a body, a door, and a connection module. The body has an opening located at a side of the body. The door is pivoted to the body and capable of rotating between an opening position and a closing position in relative to the body for exposing or covering the opening. The connection module is slidably connected to the body. When the door is rotated to the opening position in relative to the body and exposes the opening, the door drives the connection module to slide to a working position in relative to the body, and when the door is rotated to the closing position in relative to the body and covers the opening, the door drives the connection module to slide to a retracted position in relative to the body.

  • Publication number: 20140104782
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body and a second body. The first body includes a first main body and a first magnetic element fixed in the first main body. The second body includes a second main body, a supporting unit, a second magnetic element, and a third magnetic element. The second main body is adapted to hold the first body. The supporting unit is pivoted to the second main body. The second magnetic element is fixed in the second main body. The third magnetic element is slidably configured in the second main body to restrict a rotation of the supporting unit relative to the second main body. When the first body leans against the second main body, the third magnetic element is subject to a magnetic attraction force from the first magnetic element and escapes from the supporting unit, so that the supporting unit supports the first body.

  • Publication number: 20140055925
    Abstract: A chip card holder includes a single tray, a first latching member, and a second latching member and can accommodate two chip cards. The tray defines a receiving groove and includes a first latching end, a second latching end and two limiting plates. The first latching member and the second latching member are slidably engaged with the tray. When the first latching member abuts against the first latching end and the second latching member abuts against the second latching end, the first latching member, the second latching member and the two limiting plates are configured for positioning two chip cards. The first latching member and the second latching member can be slid relative to the tray to abut against the limiting plates also positioning and holding a single chip card.

  • Publication number: 20130301201
    Abstract: A portable electronic device adapted to be detachably connected to a cradle having a containing cavity is provided, wherein an inner wall of the containing cavity has a recess. The portable electronic device includes a body and a locking-and-releasing mechanism disposed in the body and including a driving unit and a latch. The driving unit is disposed in the body. The latch is connected to the driving unit and suitable for being driven by the driving unit to protrude out of the body or hide in the body. When the portable electronic device is disposed in the containing cavity, the driving unit drives the latch to protrude out of the body and be engaged with the recess. When the portable electronic device is going to be detached from the containing cavity, the driving unit drives the latch to be disengaged from the recess and move back in the body.

  • Publication number: 20130284314
    Abstract: A water container includes a bottle body containing water and a bottle mouth, a cup body detachably assembled to the bottle body, and a valve assembly secured to the bottle mouth. The valve assembly includes a ball and an elastic member. The ball and the elastic member are received in the receiving cavity. The elastic member is pressed between the ball the upper case and biases the ball towards sealing the opening. When the cup body is pushed toward the bottle body, the cup body drives the ball to unseal, to allow flow of water into the cup with no risk of spillage.

  • Patent number: 8246214
    Abstract: A lamp holder includes a heat dissipating seat having a compartment. A substrate is mounted in the compartment of the heat dissipating seat. The substrate includes a control circuit and at least one slot. At least one lighting element is mounted in the at least one slot and in electrical connection with the control circuit. The substrate further includes two flexible terminals in electrical connection with the control circuit and the at least one slot. When mounting the lamp holder into a space of a base, the flexible terminals are inserted into two coupling holes in a conductive portion of an inner periphery of the space.
