Patent number: 7438333Abstract: A magnetic latch assembly includes a first body, a second body, and a magnetic block and a magnetic latch. The magnetic block is movably disposed on the first body; therefore, it can be selectively moved close to or far away a first opening of the first body. The magnetic latch is disposed on the second body corresponding to a second opening of the second body. In addition, two ends of the magnetic latch form a hook portion and a tip portion, respectively. When the first body is close up against the second body and the magnetic block is moved close to the first opening, the magnetic block and the tip portion repel each other due to magnetic force so as to drive the magnetic latch rotating, so that the hook portion is moved and passing through the second opening and the first opening and hooked against the first body.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2007Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Inventec CorporationInventors: Cheng-Yu Wu, Yun-Tang Lin

Publication number: 20080179895Abstract: A two-way fastening structure for a tablet PC comprises a mainframe, a cover body, a pusher, and a fastener. The mainframe has a fastening groove, and a magnetic element is provided adjacent to the fastening groove. The cover body has a bottom wall and a top wall opposite to the bottom wall. The bottom wall and the top wall respectively have a first opening and a second opening corresponding to the fastening groove. The pusher is slidably disposed within the cover body corresponding to the first opening and the second opening. The pusher is provided with an elastic element at one end, such that the pusher has a first position and a second position. When the cover body is turned to cover the mainframe, the magnetic element attracts the fastener, such that the fastener protrudes from the first opening or the second opening, and thereby snapping in the fastening groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2007Publication date: July 31, 2008Applicant: Inventec CorporationInventor: Yun-Tang Lin

Patent number: 7354285Abstract: A card insertion structure of an electronic device is provided, which includes an accommodating groove caved in the electronic device, a first cover covered on the accommodating groove, a card slot extending from a wall of the accommodating groove, and a second cover pivotally disposed on the electronic device. The card slot is used for inserting a card such as a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, and the first cover catches the second cover to be in a covered position. When the card is to be ejected, the second cover cannot be pivoted unless the first cover is removed first, and the second cover pushes the card to move outwards when being pivoted, thus achieving the purpose of ejecting the card. Furthermore, due to the catch of the first cover, the card cannot be ejected if the second cover is inappropriately pivoted, thereby avoiding damaging the card.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2007Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Inventec CorporationInventor: Yun-Tang Lin
