  • Patent number: 11797060
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided, which includes a first body, a second body, and a pivot structure connecting the first body and the second body. The pivot structure includes a shaft with an axis, a first assembling element assembled with the shaft and connected with the first body and a second assembling element pivotally connected to the shaft and connected with the second body. The second assembling element includes an abutting portion. When at the first position, the abutting portion and the first assembling element are located on the same side relative to the axis. When at the second position, the abutting portion rotates around the axis and is located on a different side relative to the axis, and the abutting portion abuts the abutting surface to generate an abutting force. Then the first body rises and an angle relative to the abutting surface is generated.
