Latch mechanism

A latch mechanism, suitable for limiting a movement of a sliding member, the latch mechanism comprising:

• a positioning member, having a positioning portion, a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion, the positioning portion facing the sliding member, the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion being adjacent to the positioning portion;
• an elastic piece, having an immobile end, a positioning end, and a connecting section obliquely connecting the immobile end and the positioning end, the immobile end being provided on the sliding member;
• and
• an operation member, provided on the positioning member, the operation member having a pushing portion, the pushing portion being located at one side of the connecting section close to the positioning member;
• wherein, the positioning end is pressingly secured on the positioning portion and the operation member is located at the first limiting portion, such that relative positions of the sliding member and the positioning member are fixed;
• when the operation member slides from the first limiting portion to the second limiting portion, the pushing portion pushes the connecting section, such that the connecting section moves towards a direction away from the positioning member and drives the positioning end to depart from the positioning portion, enabling the sliding member to slide relative to the positioning member.

A latch mechanism, suitable for locking a battery of an electronic device in a battery installation portion of the electronic device, the battery having a first fastening portion, the latch mechanism comprising:

• a sliding member, having a second fastening portion and a mounting portion, the second fastening portion fastened with the first fastening portion to lock the battery in the battery installation portion, the mounting portion being adjacent to the second fastening portion;
• a positioning member, positioned correspondingly to the mounting portion, having a positioning portion, a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion, the positioning portion facing the mounting portion, the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion being adjacent to the positioning portion;
• an elastic piece, provided between the mounting portion and the positioning member, having an immobile end, a positioning end and a connecting section obliquely connecting the immobile end and the positioning end, the immobile end provided on the mounting portion;
• and
• an operation member, provided on the positioning member, the operation member having a pushing portion, the pushing portion located at one side of the connecting section close to the positioning member;
• wherein, the positioning end is pressingly secured on the positioning portion and the operation member is located at the first limiting portion, such that relative positions of the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are fixed;
• when the operation member slides from the first limiting portion to the second limiting portion, the pushing portion pushes the connecting section, such that the connecting section moves towards a direction away from the positioning member and drives the positioning end to depart from the positioning portion, enabling the sliding member to slide relative to the positioning member and the second fastening portion to depart from the first fastening portion.
