20090009953 | PORTABLE HARD DISK DRIVE WITH PIVOTABLE SUPPORT LEGS - A portable hard disk drive with pivotable support legs includes a disk enclosure having a built-in hard disk drive and being formed from two case members connected via an upper and a lower connecting strip, respectively; two support legs in the form of two curved panels separately mounted to an outer side of a lower part of each of the two case members via a torsional spring and a pivot shaft, the torsional springs providing elastic force to pivotally turn the two support legs outward from the lower parts of the two case members to an extended position; and a push button assembly provided on the lower connecting strip to normally hold the two support legs to a closed position. When the push button assembly is pushed, the two support legs are outward pushed by the torsional springs to the extended position, allowing the whole disk enclosure to stand upright. | 01-08-2009 |
