  • Publication number: 20170153677
    Abstract: Electronic apparatus includes a display component, a base, a moveable case, and a transmission component. The display component includes a rotational shaft. The base is pivotally connected to the rotational shaft. The base has an opening. The moveable case is pivotally connected to the base. The moveable case can selectively cover or uncover the opening. The transmission component is disposed on the base. The transmission component is operatively connected between the rotational shaft and the moveable case. When the display component is rotated away from the base, the rotational shaft actuates the moveable case to rotate to uncover the opening through the transmission component. When the display component is rotated toward the base, the rotational shaft actuates the moveable case to rotate to cover the opening through the transmission component.

  • Patent number: 8542486
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus with improved heat dissipation comprises a first body with a first shell and a second shell, a second body, a coupling device and a linkage device. The first shell is pivotally connected to the second shell to form an accommodation space. The first shell can pivot relative to the second shell to enlarge the accommodation space and form an opening between the first shell and the second shell. The coupling device couples the second body and the second shell to pivot the second body relative to the second shell to expose or hide the first shell. The linkage device drives the first shell to pivot relative to the second shell. When the second body pivots relative to the second shell toward a first direction, the linkage device drives the first shell to pivot relative to the second shell toward a second direction opposite to the first direction.
