Abstract
The invention provides a holder having a main body, a fixing module and an actuating module. Both the fixing module and the actuating module are positioned on the main body. When the actuating module moves along a first direction, the fixing module is driven from either a release state or a fixed state to another state along a second direction different from the first direction. The invention further provides a holder applied to an electronic apparatus. The holder has a main body and a detachable base. The detachable base is positioned on the main body, and has a base cover and a circuit board. The base cover has a connecting part. The circuit board is covered by the base cover, and has a plurality of pins for connecting to a connecting port of the electronic apparatus.
Claims18
A holder, comprising:
- a main body;
- a fixing module positioned on the main body, the fixing module comprising:
- a latch component made of a flexible material, the latch component comprising:
- a first hook part having a first tab thereon;
- and
- a second hook part having a second tab thereon;
- and
- an elastic component, having a first end and a second end connected to the first hook part and the second hook part respectively, for exerting an elastic force to the latch component while a deformation of the latch component is induced;
- and
- an actuating module, positioned on the main body, wherein when the actuating module moves along a first direction, the deformation of the latch component is induced to drive the first tab from either a release state or a fixed state to another state along a second direction different from the first direction and to drive the second tab from either the release state or the fixed state to another state along the second direction.
A holder for an electronic apparatus, the holder comprising:
- a main body;
- a fixing module, positioned on the main body;
- an actuating module, positioned on the main body, wherein when the actuating module moves along a first direction, the fixing module is driven from either a release state or a fixing state to another state along a second direction different from the first direction;
- and
- a detachable base positioned on the main body, the detachable base comprising:
- a base cover, having a connecting part on a housing thereof, a shape of the connecting part matching a shape of a connecting port of the electronic apparatus, the connecting part having a plurality of holes;
- and
- a circuit board, covered by the base cover, the circuit board having a plurality of pins sticking out of the plurality of holes, for connecting the connecting port of the electronic apparatus when the electronic apparatus is positioned on the detachable base.
