20160161990 | COVER ASSEMBLY - A cover assembly including a first and second covers, a latch, an elastic unit, and fasteners is provided. The first cover has inner and outer surfaces, wherein first limiting elements, a hook, and a rail are formed on the inner surface, and keyholes are formed through the inner and outer surfaces. The second cover fixed on the first cover with the inner surface facing the second cover has a stud and second limiting elements overlapping the first limiting elements. The elastic unit connected between the latch disposed in the rail and having third limiting elements and the hook applies a restoring force to the latch. The fasteners pass through the keyholes into the stud. The latch is constrained by the fasteners to drive the third limiting elements to pass through the overlapping portions of the first and second limiting elements, and thereby the first and second covers are fixed together. | 06-09-2016 |
