  • Patent number: 8553412
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a case, a latch, and a detachable member. The case has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The latch is movably configured on the first surface back and forth. The latch has a first pushing portion and a second pushing portion. The first and second pushing portions are located at two moving axes parallel to a moving direction of the latch. The detachable member is assembled to the case from the second surface, and a portion of the detachable member protrudes from the first surface and is locked to the latch. When the latch moves back and forth relatively to the case, the first and second pushing portions sequentially push the detachable member, so as to drive the detachable member to move relatively to the case and be disassembled from the case.
