发明名称 Securing structure and an electronic device incorporating the same
摘要 A securing structure for securing a magnetic element in a housing of an electronic device includes a receiving portion and a limiting portion. The receiving portion is to be disposed on a housing wall of the housing, and has a receiving space for receiving the magnetic element therein and a first opening in spatial communication with the receiving space for permitting extension of the magnetic element into the receiving space. The first opening faces a plane perpendicular to the housing wall. The limiting portion is connected to the receiving portion and is operable between a limiting state, where the first limiting portion prevents the magnetic element from entering and exiting the receiving space through the first opening, and a non-limiting state, where the first limiting portion permits entering and exiting of the magnetic element into and from the receiving space through the first opening.

主权项 1. A securing structure for securing a magnetic element in a housing of an electronic device, the housing including a housing wall, said securing structure comprising: a receiving portion configured to be disposed on the housing wall, and having a receiving space for receiving the magnetic element therein and a first opening in spatial communication with said receiving space for permitting extension of the magnetic element into said receiving space, said first opening adapted to face a plane perpendicular to the housing wall; and a first limiting portion that is cantilevered, includes an angled guiding face, and is connected to said receiving portion and while the first limiting portion remains connected to the receiving portion, the first limiting portion is movable relative to the receiving portion, between a limiting state, where said first limiting portion is adapted to prevent the magnetic element from entering and exiting said receiving space through said first opening, and a non-limiting state, where said first limiting portion is adapted to permit entering and exiting of the magnetic element into and from said receiving space through said first opening, wherein the first limiting portion moves between the limiting state and the non-limiting state by flexing transverse to an exiting and entering direction of the magnet; said receiving portion further has a second opening disposed in spatial communication with said receiving space and adapted to face the housing wall; said securing structure further comprising a second limiting portion disposed in said receiving space for preventing the magnetic element from exiting said receiving space through said second opening; said receiving portion includes a base wall to be secured on the housing wall, and a U-shape surrounding wall connected to said base wall, cooperating with said base wall to define said receiving space, and having two side wall parts and an end wall part, said end wall part connecting said side wait parts and cooperating with said side wall parts to define said second opening, ends of said side wall parts opposite to said end wall part cooperatively defining said first opening; said second opening is spaced apart from said base wall, said second limiting portion including two opposite inner surfaces that are respectively disposed on said side wall parts of said U-shape surrounding wall, that are disposed between said base wall and said second opening, and that are inclined toward each other in a direction from said base wall to said second opening; and said magnetic element having a maximum width that is smaller than a minimum distance between said inner surfaces of said second limiting portion.
