  • Patent number: 7702372
    Abstract: A battery cover assembly (100) is for use in a portable electronic device. The battery cover includes a housing (10) and a battery cover (20). The housing has a first engaging portion (13) at one end thereof, and a holding portion (11) at an opposite end. The holding portion has an latch plate (1111). The battery cover has a second engaging portion (214) formed at one end thereof for engaging with the first engaging portion and defines a latch opening therein for engaging with the latch plate. The latch plate is integrated with the housing for being elastically deformed by an outside force so as to releasably lock with battery cover.

  • Patent number: 7661732
    Abstract: A switch assembly (40) and a portable electronic device (100) are provided. The portable electronic device includes a body section (20), a cover section (10) rotatably connecting to the body section, and the switch assembly. The switch assembly includes a first magnetic component (43), a second magnetic component (45), and a movable magnetic component (47). The first magnetic component is mounted on the cover section. The second magnetic component is mounted on the body section, and attracts to the first magnetic component to maintain the portable electronic device at a closed position. The movable magnetic component is movably mounted on the body section, and repels both to the first and second magnetic. The movable magnetic component provides a repulsive force to repel the cover rotates outwards from the body section, when the magnetic component is driven to move close to the first and second magnetic components.
