Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080284295 | Rotating mechanism and electronic device using the same - A rotating mechanism and an electronic device using the same are provided. The rotating mechanism is disposed at the electronic device. The electronic device includes a first casing and a second casing. The rotating mechanism includes a first gear and a second gear. The first gear is coupled to the first casing. The second gear is coupled to the second casing. The second gear is engaged with the first gear, and then the first casing is capable of rotating relatively to the second casing. | 11-20-2008 |
20090009949 | Cover flip mechanism and electronic device using the same - A cover flip mechanism and an electronic device using the same are provided. An electronic device with the cover flip mechanism includes a first casing and a second casing. The cover flip mechanism includes a sliding mechanism connected to the first casing and the second casing, a rotating mechanism having a supporting portion and a rotating portion disposed at the second casing and is connected to the supporting portion, a fastener pivotally connected to the second casing and a protrudent block disposed at the first casing. When the first casing slides relatively to the second casing to the rotating location, the protrudent block pushes the fastener, and then the fastener rotates and releases the supporting portion. Therefore, the supporting portion can rotate relatively to the second casing via the rotating portion further to push the first casing to rotate relatively to the second casing. | 01-08-2009 |
20090015996 | Portable Electronic Device having Sliding Keyboard - A portable electronic device having a sliding keyboard includes a first body, a second body and a sliding positioning device. The first body includes a keyboard area and a plurality of hot keys. The second body is slidingly disposed on the first body. The sliding positioning device is connected to the first body and the second body to position the second body at a plurality of locations relative to the first body. The second body hides the hot keys and exposes the keyboard area when the second body is located at one of the locations. | 01-15-2009 |
20090016002 | Flip apparatus and electronic device using the same - A flip apparatus and an electronic device using the same are provided. The flip apparatus is disposed in the electronic device including a first casing and a second casing. The flip apparatus includes a sliding mechanism, a rotating mechanism pivotally connected to the second casing, and an actuating element disposed at the second casing. The sliding mechanism is disposed at the first casing and is slidably connected to the second casing to drive the first casing to slide to a rotating position relative to the second casing. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating block pivotally connected to the second casing and fixed to the first casing, a moving block slidably provided at the rotating block and is fixed to the sliding mechanism, and an elastic element coupled to the rotating block and has elastic potential energy. The rotating block can be driven to rotate by releasing the elastic potential energy. | 01-15-2009 |
20090137281 | Portable Electronic Device - A portable electronic device includes a main body, a cover and a transparent touch control section. The main body has a function display section. The cover is pivotally connected with the main body and selectively folded against or unfolded away from the main body. The transparent touch control section is disposed on the cover. When the cover is folded against the main body, the function display section is visible through the transparent touch control section. | 05-28-2009 |
20090176527 | Mobile Phone with Camera - A mobile phone with camera includes a body, a display module, two support arms and a camera. The body has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is perpendicular to the second surface, and the first surface has a concave section, which has two parallel sliding slots on two opposite sidewalls thereof. Each of the support arms has one end pivotally connected with the first surface and the other end pivotally connected with the display module such that the display module can be rotated relative to the body and slid along the two parallel sliding slots so as to have the display module selectively laid against the first surface or form an angle between the display module and the second surface. The camera is disposed on the second surface for snapping images to be displayed on the display module. | 07-09-2009 |
20100073555 | IMAGE CAPTURE MODULE OF HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH POLYDIRECTIONAL ROTATION FUNCTION - An image capture module of a handheld electronic device is provided. In the image capture module, a spherical casing cooperates with a fixing cover and accommodates a camera module. The spherical casing is fixed in a casing of the electronic device by the fixing cover. Thus, the spherical casing can rotate transversely. In addition, the fixing cover has a slot to allow a connecting wire of the camera module to pass through, and thus, the spherical casing may rotate along the direction of the slot. | 03-25-2010 |
20120105714 | IMAGE CAPTURE MODULE OF HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH POLYDIRECTIONAL ROTATION FUNCTION - An image capture module of a handheld electronic device is provided. In the image capture module, a spherical casing cooperates with a fixing cover and accommodates a camera module. The spherical casing is fixed in a casing of the electronic device by the fixing cover. Thus, the spherical casing can rotate transversely. In addition, the fixing cover has a slot to allow a connecting wire of the camera module to pass through, and thus, the spherical casing may rotate in the fixing cover. | 05-03-2012 |
