Abstract: An input device installed on a housing includes a casing, a first input module, a second input module and a fixing mechanism. The casing has a first face and a second face opposite to the first face. The first input module is disposed on the first face. The second input module is disposed on the second face. The fixing mechanism is disposed on at least one of the casing and the housing. When the casing is oriented with the first face facing the housing to be installed into the housing, the fixing mechanism fixes the casing, such that the second input module is exposed on the casing. When the casing is oriented with the second face facing the housing to be installed into the housing, the fixing mechanism fixes the casing, such that the first input module is exposed on the casing.

Abstract: A portable electronic device includes first and second bodies. The first body includes a guiding rail, a restoring component, a first magnet disposed in the guiding rail, top and bottom surfaces. The guiding rail is connected between the top and bottom surfaces. The restoring component is disposed at one end of the guiding rail close to the top surface. The second body including a second magnet is pivotally connected to the first body for rotating from leaning on the top surface till leaning on the bottom surface. When the second body leans on the top surface, the first magnet is attracted to the second magnet to lean on the restoring component. When the second body leans on the bottom surface, an attraction force between the first and second magnets is greater than a restoring force provided by the restoring component so the second magnet moves toward the bottom surface.

The first shaft and the second shaft respectively have a guiding portion and a first screw thread and a second screw thread located at the guiding portion. Each of the first screw threads is connected to the corresponding second screw thread. The moving component is respectively coupled to the two guiding portions. When the first shaft and the second shaft rotate with each other through the moving component to switch between a first state and a second state, the moving component is guided by the first screw threads and the second screw threads to move along a direction parallel to the first shaft back and forth.

The rotating assembly is disposed between the upper body and the lower body, so that the upper body is pivotally disposed on the lower body. The sliding assembly is disposed between the rotating assembly and the lower body, so that the rotating assembly is slidably disposed on the lower body. The stopping assembly is disposed on the lower body, so as to fix the sliding assembly when the upper body rotates relative to the lower body through the rotating assembly and release the sliding assembly until the upper body rotates to a predetermined angle, thereafter the upper body and the rotating assembly are adapted to slide relative to the lower body through the sliding assembly.

Abstract: A pivot structure includes a gear mechanism, a first pivot assembly including a first stand, and a second pivot assembly including a second stand. The gear mechanism includes a first gear having a tooth portion, transmitting gears, and an end gear. The first gear, the transmitting gears, and the end gear are engaged in sequence. The second stand is rotated between a closed angle and an opening angle relative to the first stand by the gear mechanism. The tooth portion drives the transmitting gears to rotate the end gear when the second stand is rotated between a first middle angle and a second middle angle relative to the first stand, and the tooth portion is departed from the first transmitting gear when the second stand is rotated between the closed angle and the first middle angle relative to the first stand.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and a linking assembly. The first body has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, and a sliding slot located at the first side. The first body and the second body are pivoted to the linking assembly. The second body rotates relative to the first side of the first body to open or close and drives the linking assembly, such that the electronic device stands on a platform with the first side or the second side of the first body. The linking assembly has a supporting block movably coupled to the sliding slot. When the second body rotates to an angle relative to the first side, the supporting block protrudes out of the first side so that the electronic device stands on the platform with the first side.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates a portable computer, more particularly, to a structural frame for a portable computer. The frame includes a body, at least one hinge supporter, an input and output (I/O) port bracket, and a channel. The hinge supporter supports a display panel of the portable computer. The I/O port bracket accommodates a plurality of I/O terminals. The channel guides a liquid unexpectedly appearing on the body to a predetermined location. The frame is preferable made of a metal material for shielding and absorbing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and for strengthening the structure of the portable computer. The frame further contacts a heat-generating electronic device to dissipate the heat generated therefrom.
