Abstract
A portable electronic device includes a base, a cove, a first plate, a second plate, a first post, a second post, and an adjusting mechanism. The first plate is secured to the cover. A guiding slot and a receiving hole are defined in the first plate. The second plate is secured to the base. A receiving slot and a pin hole are defined in the second plate. The first post passes through the pin hole and the receiving hole. The second post passes through the receiving slot and is slidably received in the guiding slot. One end of the adjusting mechanism is rotatably connected to the first and second plates by the first post, and the other end of the adjusting mechanism is slidably connected to the first and second plates by the second post.
Claims18
A portable electronic device comprising:
- a base;
- a cover;
- a first plate secured to the cover, a guiding slot and a receiving hole defined in the first plate;
- a second plate secured to the base, a receiving slot and a pin hole defined in the second plate;
- a first post passing through the pin hole and the receiving hole;
- a second post passing through the receiving slot and slidably received in the guiding slot;
- and
- an adjusting mechanism comprising a first resisting element, a second resisting element, and a connecting element, the first and second resisting elements slidably attached to opposite sides of the connecting element, one end of the adjusting mechanism rotatably connected to the first and second plates by the first post, and the other end of the adjusting mechanism slidably connected to the first and second plates by the second post.
A portable electronic device comprising:
- a base;
- a cover;
- a first plate secured to the cover, a guiding slot and a receiving hole defined in the first plate;
- a second plate secured to the base, a receiving slot and a pin hole defined in the second plate;
- a first post passing through the pin hole and the receiving hole;
- a second post passing through the receiving slot and slidably received in the guiding slot;
- and
- an adjusting mechanism comprising a first resisting element, a second resisting element, and a connecting element, the first and second resisting elements slidably attached to opposite sides of the connecting element, the first post rotatably attached to one end of the adjusting mechanism and the second post rotatably attached to the other end of the adjusting mechanism, the adjusting mechanism allowing the cover to stay on the base when the cover is opened or closed.
A connecting assembly comprising:
- a first plate defined a guiding slot and a receiving hole therein;
- a second plate defining a receiving slot and a pin hole therein;
- a first post passing through the pin hole and the receiving hole;
- a second post passing through the receiving slot and slidably received in the guiding slot;
- and
- an adjusting mechanism including a connecting element, a first elastic module and a first resisting element, the first elastic module placed around the first resisting element and elastically resisting a first side of the connecting element, the first post rotatably attached to one end of the adjusting mechanism and the second post rotatably attached to the other end of the adjusting mechanism, the adjusting mechanism producing a torsion for the base and the cover.
