  • Patent number: 7997631
    Abstract: A lock device includes a first mounting unit, an operating member, a first and second actuating member, a magnet member and a latch member. The first mounting unit includes a main portion and two flanges bent from the first main portion. Each flange defines a notch. The operating member is configured for moving relative to the first mounting unit in a direction. The first and second actuating members are configured for respectively moving toward and proximate to one notch. The latch member is configured for being pivotable between a locking position and an unlocking position. In the locking position, the latch member is attracted by the magnet member and protrudes into one notch with engaging one flange. When the operating member moves in the direction, the latch member is pushed away from the first mounting member by means of one actuating member.

  • Publication number: 20030184529
    Abstract: An input device for use with an electronic appliance includes an accommodating unit adapted to be mounted within the electronic appliance and confining an elongated accommodating chamber. An input unit is received removably in the accommodating chamber. A biasing unit is mounted in the accommodating unit, and biases the input unit to move in a direction outwardly of the accommodating chamber. A retaining unit is mounted on the accommodating unit, and is normally disposed in an engaging position in which the retaining unit engages the input unit when the latter is received in the accommodating chamber. The retaining unit is operable to move from the engaging position to a non-engaging position, in which the retaining unit is disengaged from the input unit to permit ejection of the input unit from the accommodating chamber due to biasing action of the biasing unit.

  • Publication number: 20030179542
    Abstract: A main body of a portable computer is provided at one or two lower lateral sides with at least one receiving recess, to which a battery pack is externally connected. Each battery pack includes a housing and at least one battery enclosed in the housing. The battery pack connected to the bottom of the main body downward projects from the main body to create a heat dissipation space below the main body of the portable computer and a grip area for carrying the portable computer. The portable computer may have doubled power capacity and largely extended service time when two battery packs are separately connected to two lower lateral sides thereof.

  • Patent number: 6517129
    Abstract: A lock device for a portable computer includes a mounting wall to be mounted on an upper housing of the computer, and parallel first and second flanges, each formed with a latch hole. An actuating unit has first and second actuating portions, and is normally disposed in a non-actuating position, in which the actuating portions are respectively displaced from the latch holes. A latch member is mounted on a lower housing of the computer, and is normally retracted into the lower housing. The latch member is movable to project from the lower housing and engage one of the latch holes due to magnetic attraction of a magnet of the actuating unit when the upper housing covers the lower housing. The actuating unit is operable for moving the actuating portions so as to push the latch member and disengage the same from the corresponding latch hole.
