  • Publication number: 20140140013
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a bottom plate, an installation board, a circuit board, a battery, and a power supply control module. The power supply control module includes a control member and an activating member, and the activating member is pressed against the control member when the electronic device is assembled. So long as the control member remains pressed by the activating member, a flow of electrical power from the battery to the circuit board is permitted. When the electronic device is disassembled, the disassembly moves the activating member away from the activating member and cuts off the power from the battery to the circuit board, to avoid electrical short circuits or other damage that might otherwise occur if the flow of electrical power was maintained during disassembly.

  • Publication number: 20130153383
    Abstract: A push button assembly includes a female member comprising a base and a socket integral with the base, a male member movably mounted to the female member, and a resilient member. The male member includes a pressing portion and a positioning portion extending downwards from a lower surface side of the pressing portion. The positioning portion is captive in the socket. The male member is movable between a first position and second position. The resilient member surrounds the positioning portion. When a push force is applied to the pressing portion of the male member, the resilient member is deformed and the male member is moved to the second position. When the push force is released, the resilient member recovers and drives the male member to move to the first position, but the resilient member is always constrained to undergo compression and release along its own central axis.
