Abstract
A locking device for locking a movable module of an electronic apparatus disclosed by the invention mainly includes a control member and a latch connected to the control member. The control member is selectively movable between a first position for locking the movable module and a second position for releasing the movable module. When the latch stops at the first position, it also latches onto an operational interface or a mechanism component so as to prevent the user from electrically or mechanically operating the apparatus.
Claims13
A locking device applicable to an apparatus having a movable carrier incorporated therein, comprising:
- a control member, movably mounted on said apparatus, for selectively hindering an operational interface of the apparatus upon being moved to a first position, and exposing said operational interface upon being moved to a second position;
- and
- a latch, fixed to said control member and moved therewith for selectively locking said movable carrier to said apparatus upon being moved with said control member to said first position, and releasing said movable carrier from said apparatus upon being moved with said control member to said second position.
A locking device applicable to an apparatus having a case, a cover pivotally mounted on one side of said case, and a movable carrier incorporated in said case, comprising:
- a control member, movably mounted on said case;
- and
- a latch, fixed to said control member and moved therewith for selectively locking said cover and said movable carrier to said case upon being moved with said control member to a first position, and releasing said cover and said movable carrier from said case upon being moved with said control member to a second position.
