Abstract
A latching mechanism includes an engaging member made of magnetically conductive material and a magnetic assembly. The magnetic assembly includes a magnetic member and two fixing members made of magnetically conductive material. The magnetic member is capable of contacting the fixing member to magnetize the fixing member to attract the engaging member, and capable of being detached from the at least one fixing member with the magnetic field being shielded by the at least one fixing member to release the engaging member. The present disclosure further provides an electronic device using the latching mechanism.
Claims20
A latching mechanism, comprising:
- an engaging member made of magnetically conductive material;
- a magnetic assembly comprising a magnetic member and at least one fixing member made of magnetically conductive material;
- wherein the magnetic member contacts the at least one fixing member to magnetize the at least one fixing member to attract the engaging member, and detaches from the at least one fixing member with the magnetic field shielded by the at least one fixing member to release the engaging member.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a cover;
- a main body;
- and
- a latching mechanism comprising an engaging member made of magnetically conductive material and a magnetic assembly, the engaging member being fixed in one of the cover and the main body and the magnetic assembly being fixed in the other of the cover and the main body;
- wherein the magnetic assembly comprises a magnetic member and at least one fixing member made of magnetically conductive material, the magnetic member contacting the at least one fixing member to magnetize the at least one fixing member to attract the engaging member, and detaching from the at least one fixing member with the magnetic force being shielded by the at least one fixing member to release the engaging member.
A latching mechanism, comprising:
- an engaging member made of magnetically conductive material;
- a magnetic assembly comprising a magnetic member and a fixing member made of magnetically conductive material, wherein the magnetic member contacts the fixing member to magnetize the fixing member to attract the engaging member;
- a sliding member holding the magnetic member, wherein the sliding member comprises a operation portion for detaching the magnetic member and the fixing member to release the engaging member.
