Patent number: 8514568Abstract: An electronic device having a rotatable support is provided. A main body includes a first cylindrical engaging hole with a plurality of first internal gear teeth. A support body includes a second cylindrical engaging hole with a plurality of second internal gear teeth. A gear includes a first portion inserted in the first engaging hole and engaging with the first internal gear teeth, and a second portion inserted in the second engaging hole and engaging with the second internal gear teeth, to restrict the support body from rotating with respect to the main body. A spring member is compressed between the gear and main body in the first engaging hole, to urge the gear to move away from the main body. A button depressibly mounted on the support body is depressed to move the gear out of the second engaging hole, thereby disengaging the support body from the gear.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2011Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Bin Qiao, Chuang-Lao Cheng, Feng Dai, Shou-Ji Liu, Te-Sheng Jan, Yu-Tao Chen, Chun-Che Yen

Patent number: 8496216Abstract: In order to enable mounting of a cabinet 1 having a display unit to a supporting base 9, axial members 121 and 131 in the shape of a regular polygonal prism are disposed in the cabinet 1 and fitting holes 91 and 92 into which the regular polygonal prisms can be fitted, respectively, are disposed in the supporting base 9. By opening and then closing, or opening and then moving the axial members 121 and 131, the user can fit or remove them into or from the fitting holes 91 and 92, respectively, so as to mount or demount the cabinet to or from the supporting base. By tilting the cabinet by an angle when fitting the axial members into the fitting holes, respectively, the user can change the rotational attitude of the cabinet 1 with respect to the supporting base. Thereby, the user can use the display unit at different times and at different positions with simple manipulations.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2008Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Isobe, Amane Mitani, Hiroki Akatsuka
