  • Patent number: 10301845
    Abstract: An electronic system with an electronically controlled electronic locking mechanism is provided. The system includes a first electronic device having a first part, a first fastening element, a second part, and an electronic locking element. The first fastening element is pivotally connected to the first part and rotates relatively to the first part. The second part includes a fastening portion. The electronic locking element is disposed at the first part, electronically connected to the first electronic device, and connected to the first fastening element. When the fastening portion of the second part contacts and fastens to the first fastening element of the first part, the first electronic device supplies power to the electronic locking element, and thus the electronic locking element fixes the first fastening element to lock the first part and the second part together.

  • Publication number: 20120002362
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first casing, a second casing, a plurality of connecting rods and a connecting part. The first casing has an upper surface, and an end of each of the connecting rods is connected to the second casing. The connecting part connected to the first casing has a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion having a lower surface and two corresponding side surfaces adjacent to the first connecting portion. The lower surface faces the upper surface of the first casing and is parallel with the upper surface. A runner is formed at each of the side surfaces, and the other ends of the connecting rods are slidingly disposed in the runners correspondingly to allow the second casing to move relative to the first casing via the runners of the connecting part and the connecting rods.

  • Patent number: 8054615
    Abstract: A pivot apparatus adapted to connect a host and a display includes a rotary base having a first part and a second part, a connecting plate, a pivot component, a first connecting rod and a hook. The first part is embedded at the host. The second part has a rotary shaft embedded at a first edge of the connecting plate. The pivot component is pivotally connected between a rear surface of the display and a second edge of the connecting plate. The first connecting rod is slidably disposed at the connecting plate and has at least a locking hole. The hook is disposed at the rear surface and passes through the connecting plate to be slidably disposed in the locking hole. The hook is used to interfere with the first connecting rod to restrict the rotation of the display by the pivot component relative to the connecting plate.
