Abstract
A fixing mechanism includes a base whereon a protrusion is formed, an elastic component installed inside the base, and a supporting component wedged inside the base. An end of the supporting component contacts against the elastic component, and the other end of the supporting component is for supporting a board. The fixing mechanism further includes a clamping frame pivoted to the base. A slot is formed on the clamping frame. The clamping frame and the supporting component clamp the board together when the protrusion of the base is inserted inside the slot on the clamping frame.
Claims20
A fixing mechanism comprising:
- a base, whereon a protrusion and a first hole are formed;
- an elastic component installed inside the base;
- a supporting component wedged inside the base, an end of the supporting component contacting against the elastic component and the other end of the supporting component being for supporting a first object;
- a clamping frame pivoted to the base, an slot being formed on the clamping frame, the clamping frame and the supporting component being for clamping the first object together when the protrusion of the base is inserted inside the slot, and the clamping frame comprising a shaft inserted into the first hole so that the clamping frame is pivoted to the base;
- and
- a fixing component for clamping a second object with the base.
An electronic device comprising:
- a cover;
- a board disposed inside the cover;
- and
- a fixing mechanism for fixing the board inside the cover, the fixing mechanism comprising:
- a base disposed on a side of the cover, whereon a protrusion and a first hole are formed;
- an elastic component installed inside the base;
- a supporting component wedged inside the base, an end of the supporting component contacting against the elastic component and the other end of the supporting component being for supporting the board;
- a clamping frame pivoted to the base, an slot being formed on the clamping frame, the clamping frame and the supporting component being for clamping the first object together when the protrusion of the base is inserted inside the slot, and the clamping frame comprising a shaft inserted into the first hole so that the clamping frame is pivoted to the base;
- and
- a fixing component for clamping the cover on the base.
