Abstract
An electronic device having a sliding assembly is described. A cantilever having a slide-proof pad is disposed on a bottom surface of a casing, and a sliding assembly corresponding to the cantilever is disposed in the casing. When the casing is pressed, the sliding assembly extends outside the slide-proof pad through an elastic displacement of the cantilever, such that the sliding assembly supports the casing to a higher position, and the casing slides on and contacts with a plane through the sliding assembly; alternatively, the sliding assembly retracts into the slide-proof pad, such that the slide-proof pad contacts with the plane, and the casing does not slide freely on the plane through interference contact of the slide-proof pad.
Claims8
An electronic device having a sliding assembly, enabling the electronic device to have a sliding contact or an interference contact with a plane, comprising:
- a casing, having a bottom surface, wherein at least one groove is disposed on the bottom surface, a cantilever that may have a swing displacement is corresponding to the groove, the cantilever has a through hole, and a slide-proof pad is disposed on the cantilever, the cantilever has a blocked position where the slide-proof pad contacts with the plane, and an evading position where the slide-proof pad retracts into the casing;
- and
- a sliding assembly, disposed in the casing, and corresponding to the cantilever, wherein the sliding assembly comprises:
- a cylinder, fixed to the casing;
- and
- a movable member, movably disposed on the cylinder and corresponding to the through hole, wherein the movable member moves to a first position, a second position, and a third position relative to the cylinder;
- when the movable member is at the first position, the cantilever makes the slide-proof pad remain at the blocked position;
- when the movable member is at the second position, the cantilever makes the slide-proof pad remain at the evading position;
- when the movable member is at the third position, the movable member supports the casing higher, such that the slide-proof pad leaves the plane, and the movable member and the plane have the sliding contact.
