The plate is moved from the first position to the second position by the first operation lever, and, when the plate is in the second position, causes the second wire to thermally shrink to thereby drive a second operation lever, so that the plate is moved from the second position to the first position by a biasing force of a first spring.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2019Publication date: July 9, 2020Applicant: LENOVO (SINGAPORE) PTE. LTD.Inventors: Fusanobu Nakamura, Hiroshi Itoh, Mitsuhiro Yamazaki, Atsushi Nagashima
