Abstract
An electronic device including a first body, a second body, a stylus, and a positioning mechanism is provided. The second body is pivotally connected to the first body and has a stylus slot. The stylus is accommodated in the stylus slot, wherein the positioning mechanism is disposed in the stylus slot and the stylus is fixed to the positioning mechanism. When the second body is unfolded relative to the first body, the positioning mechanism is adapted to move the stylus out of the stylus slot.
Claims10
An electronic device, comprising:
- a first body, having a first magnetic component;
- a second body, pivotally connected to the first body and has a stylus slot;
- a stylus, accommodated in the stylus slot;
- and
- a positioning mechanism, disposed in the stylus slot, and comprises a positioning base, a driving part, an elastic part and a driven part, wherein the stylus is fixed to the positioning base and the positioning base is adapted to slide in the stylus slot, the driving part is pivotally connected to the second body and has a second magnetic component corresponding to the first magnetic component, two ends of the elastic part are respectively connected to the driving part and the second body, and two ends of the driven part are respectively connected to the driving part and the positioning base,
- when the second body is folded relative to the first body, the positioning base remains in a first position, wherein the elastic part is squeezed by the driving part, and an elastic restoring force of the elastic part is less than a first magnetic attraction force generated between the second magnetic component and the first magnetic component,
- when the second body is unfolded relative to the first body, the elastic restoring force of the elastic part is greater than a second magnetic attraction force generated between the second magnetic component and the first magnetic component to drive the driving part to rotate, and the driven part is driven by the driving part to push the positioning base toward an opening of the stylus slot, causing the positioning base to slide to a second position.
