Abstract:
A hinge mechanism and a clamshell device thereof are disclosed. A first cover body of the clamshell device can rotate with respect to a second cover body via the hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism includes a bearing, a first rotating element, a second rotating element, and a base. The first rotating element includes a first jointed structure pivotally connected to the bearing. The second rotating element includes a protruding element and is pivotally connected to the first rotating element via a second jointed structure. The base includes a groove for the protruding element to slide in the groove. When the first rotating element and the second rotating element rotate, the protruding element moves from a first end to a second end of the groove to let the first jointed structure, second jointed structure and the protruding element form a three-point support structure.
Abstract:
An ornamental plate structure includes a supporting base and a sliding button. The sliding button includes a button portion, a first sliding portion, and a fastening portion whereon an incline and a wedging slot are formed. The ornamental plate structure further includes an ornamental plate having a plate, a hooking component and a fixing component. The fixing component includes a wedging portion, a second sliding portion and an assembly surface. The wedging portion wedges inside the wedging slot after the assembly surface slides relative to the incline at a predetermined distance so as to fix the ornamental plate on the supporting base. The button portion is pushed to slide the first sliding portion relative to the second sliding portion so as to separate the wedging portion from the wedging slot. The ornamental plate structure further includes a resilient component for driving the sliding button.
Abstract:
An input device includes a printed circuit board for outputting a signal, a supporting base fixed on the printed circuit board, and a cap pivoted to the supporting base. A protrusion is formed on an end of the cap for contacting against the printed circuit board when the cap is not pressed down. The cap pivots relative to the supporting base when the cap is pressed down. The input device further includes a resilient conductive component disposed between the printed circuit board and the cap for being pressed by the cap to conduct the printed circuit board when the cap is pressed down.
Abstract:
An input device includes a printed circuit board for outputting a signal, a supporting base fixed on the printed circuit board, a metal dome switch installed on the printed circuit board, and a cap pivoted to the supporting base. A protrusion is formed on an end of the cap for contacting against the printed circuit board when the cap is not pressed down. The cap pivots relative to the supporting base when the cap is pressed down. An actuator is further formed on the cap and disposed on a side of the metal dome switch. The actuator of the cap presses down the metal dome switch to actuate the metal dome switch when the cap is pressed down.
Abstract:
A fixing mechanism includes a housing whereon an opening and a first hole are formed. A first fixing component is disposed on the housing. The fixing mechanism further includes a frame installed inside the housing through the opening for fixing a removable module. A first wedging component is disposed on the frame for wedging with the first fixing component so as to fix the removable module inside the housing. The fixing mechanism further includes a releasing component installed inside the first hole for pressing the first wedging component so as to separate the first wedging component from the first fixing component.
Abstract:
A hidden fastening structure applied to an electronic device is provided, which comprises a actuator and a fastener controlled by the actuator, wherein the fastener is rotatably disposed on the electronic device. When the actuator is pushed by external forces in the horizontal direction, the fastener is driven to rotate about the electronic device, thereby providing a hidden position accommodated within the electronic device or a fastening position outside the electronic device.
Abstract:
A height-adjustable docking station including a main frame, a hook structure, and a lever is provided. The hook structure and the lever are pivoted on the main frame. The hook structure has a plurality of positioning grooves at different levels. One end of the lever has an adjusting rod, and the other end of the lever has a tenon for being wedged into one of the positioning grooves. When a user adjusts the adjusting rod, the tenon comes off the original positioning groove and is wedged into other positioning groove, thus changing the horizontal level of the docking station.

Abstract:
The present invention is to provide an image capture device comprising two pivotal shafts being mounted respectively on two distal ends thereof for pivotally connecting with pivotal holes on a top end of a screen of a notebook computer, an electromagnetic switch being mounted on an inner circuit thereof, and a magnet being mounted on the top end of the screen of the notebook computer at a position corresponding to a rotation path of the electromagnetic switch. Thus, when the backside of the image capture device is rotated to face a user, the electromagnetic switch is in ON state while the magnet is exactly on a position corresponding to the electromagnetic switch, enabling the circuit thereof to convert a reverse image being captured into an erect image.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a first body, a magnetic switch disposed in the first body, and a second body connected pivotally to and covering openably the first body. The second body includes a housing, and an electronic component module disposed in the housing and coupled electrically to the magnetic switch. A fixing structure is disposed in the housing and includes a casing and a blocker. The casing defines a receiving space and an opening that communicates with the receiving space. A magnetic element is disposed in the receiving space through the opening. The blocker is rotatable to block the opening and prevent the magnetic element from moving out of the receiving space through the opening.
