A detachable keyboard structure, comprising:
- a keyboard assembly, which is adapted to be selectively mounted to a notebook computer such that a first edge of the keyboard assembly is adjacent to a display panel of the notebook computer and an opposite, second edge is distant from the display panel;
- a movable cover, which has a proximal end that is movably mounted to the second edge of the keyboard assembly and a distal end distant from and opposite to the proximal end;
- a flexible bendable section, which is arranged opposite to the display panel of the notebook computer with the keyboard assembly located between the flexible bendable section and the display panel of the notebook computer and is mounted to the proximal end of the movable cover and the second edge of the keyboard and connects the second edge of the keyboard assembly and the proximal end of the movable cover to each other such that the movable cover is movable relative to the keyboard assembly between a closed position where the distal end of the movable cover is releasably fixed to the first edge of the keyboard assembly and an open position where the distal end of the movable cover is distant from and substantially opposite to the first edge of the keyboard assembly;
- and
- a positioning member, which is rotatably mounted to the distal end of the movable cover that is distant from the proximal end of the movable cover to which the flexible bendable section is mounted for releasably fixing the distal end of the movable cover to the first edge of the keyboard assembly to set the moveable cover in the closed position;
- wherein the positioning member is rotatably mounted to the distal end of the movable cover by a pivot section that is coupled to an inner side edge of the positioning member by a dual hinge arrangement to allow the positioning member to selectively move between a first condition and a second condition;
- wherein the movable cover has a first surface that is adjacent to and faces and covers the keyboard assembly in the closed position and an opposite, second surface that is opposite to the first surface and faces away from the keyboard assembly in the closed position, wherein the first surface is moved away from the keyboard assembly to be distant from the display panel of the notebook computer and faces upward in the open position of the movable cover to define a top surface and the second surface faces downward and defines an undersurface of the movable cover in the open position;
- wherein the positioning member comprises a support section that is rotatably mounted to the distal end of the movable cover by the pivot section such that in the first condition, the support member is releasably engageable with the first edge of the keyboard assembly to releasably fix the distal end of the movable cover to the first edge of the keyboard assembly to define the closed position of the movable cover and, in the second condition, the support member is positioned against the undersurface of the movable cover in the open position, to support and retain the movable cover in the open position.
