## Abstract

A shelter module includes a casing and a sliding door. The casing has an outer surface and a limiting slot. The limiting slot sinks inward from the outer surface. The limiting slot has a bottom side, a through hole and a first tactile bump. The through hole is disposed on the bottom side. The first tactile bump protrudes from the bottom side. The sliding door slides between an open position and a closed position in the limiting slot to expose or hide the through hole. The sliding door has a hiding side facing the bottom side. The sliding door has its thickness reduced from the hiding side to form a relief recess and an interfering portion adjacent to the relief recess. As soon as the sliding door slides from the open position to the closed position, the interfering portion slides past the first tactile bump to generate a tactile feedback.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A shelter module, comprising:
a casing having an outer surface and a limiting slot, the limiting slot sinking inward from the outer surface and having a bottom side, a through hole and a first tactile bump, the through hole being disposed on the bottom side, the first tactile bump protruding from the bottom side; and
a sliding door sliding between an open position and a closed position in the limiting slot to thereby expose or hide the through hole and having a hiding side, the hiding side facing the bottom side, wherein the sliding door has its thickness reduced from the hiding side to form a relief recess and an interfering portion adjacent to the relief recess, the interfering portion being flush with the hiding side and sliding past the first tactile bump to generate a tactile feedback as soon as the sliding door slides from the open position to the closed position.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The shelter module of claim 1, wherein a depth of the relief recess is substantially equally to a height of the first tactile bump.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The shelter module of claim 1, wherein the limiting slot further has a second tactile bump protruding from the bottom side, and the interfering portion slides past the second tactile bump to generate a tactile feedback as soon as the sliding door slides from the closed position to the open position.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The shelter module of claim 1, wherein the limiting slot has a first stop side connecting with the bottom side, and the sliding door stops at the first stop side after having slid to the closed position.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The shelter module of claim 4, wherein the limiting slot further has a second stop side opposing the first stop side and connecting with the bottom side, and the sliding door stops at the second stop side after having slid to the open position.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The shelter module of claim 1, further comprising a limiting patch attaching to the casing and having a window which an operating portion of the sliding door is slidably disposed at.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The shelter module of claim 6, further comprising at least a rail connected to the sliding door and spaced apart from the limiting patch.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The shelter module of claim 7, wherein the at least a rail has a notch snap-engaging with a positioning bump protruding inward from the limiting slot.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The shelter module of claim 7, wherein the limiting slot extends inward to form a limiting bump which the at least a rail slides below.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The shelter module of claim 9, wherein the at least a rail is in a number of two, with the two rails being connected to two opposing sides of the sliding door, respectively, and meeting at a flange limited by the limiting bump as soon as the sliding door is at the closed position.
