  • Patent number: 7836551
    Abstract: A hinge structure with locking feature is connected to a first body of an electronic device through a support frame. A pivot portion of the hinge structure is connected to a second body of the electronic device and includes a rotating shaft connected to the support frame, such that the first body is capable of rotating relative to the second body. Moreover, a lock receptacle is disposed on the support frame, and is engaged with a matching lock unit. Therefore, the electronic device is secured to a fixed position, which thus achieves an anti-theft function.

  • Patent number: 7715186
    Abstract: A case of an extending base for an electronic device includes a body, a cover, and at least two link elements. The body has a hollow. The cover is disposed aside the hollow. Each link element has a first pivot part, a first block part, a second pivot part, and a first elastic member. The first pivot part has a first end pivoted on the body and a second end connected to the first block part. The second pivot part has a first end pivoted on the cover and a second end connected to the first block part. The first elastic member provides a force to push the first block part from a first position to a second position so as to correspondingly push the cover. Herein, when the first block part is positioned at the first position, the first block part is separated from the body and the cover covers the body. In addition, when the first block part is positioned at the second position, the first block part is in contact with the body and the cover is separated from the body.

  • Patent number: 7462048
    Abstract: An electronic component ejection structure of an electronic device is provided. The ejection structure includes a guide element, a push rod, an elastic element, and a stopping element. The guide element is used to guide the push rod to move between a first and a second position. The stopping element has a hook and an abutting nose, wherein when the push rod is located at the first position, the hook is clipped into the clip hole; when the push rod is moved to the second position, the stopping element is driven to pivotally rotate and thereby removing the hook out of the clip hole; then, the electronic component is pushed out of the slot by the abutting nose. The elastic element is connected with the electronic device and the push rod, and it can push the push rod towards the first position, so as to repeatedly perform the ejecting operation.
