Locking assembly and communication apparatus using same

摘要

A locking assembly used to lock at least one electronic device in a communication apparatus includes a housing, a latching member, a spring member and a key member. The latching member is pivotably connected to the housing by a pivoting member, and includes a pair of latching portions used to pass through the housing to be locked in the communication apparatus. The spring member is elastically connected between the housing and the latching member. The key member includes a pair of coupling portions used to be inserted into the housing and engage with the pair of receiving portions to make the latching member rotate relative to the housing about the pivoting member, so as to make the pair of latching portions to be released from the corresponding latching holes.

主权项

1. A locking assembly, used to lock at least one electronic device in a communication apparatus, the communication apparatus comprising a pair of securing brackets, the locking assembly comprising:
a housing defining a receiving room; a latching member received in the receiving room, and pivotably connected to the housing by a pivoting member, the latching member comprising a pair of receiving portions arranged symmetrically around the pivoting member and a pair of latching portions passing through the housing and configured for insertion into the pair of securing brackets; a spring member elastically connected between the housing and the latching member, the spring member configured in a natural state when the pair of latching portions is latched in the communication apparatus; and a key member comprising a pair of coupling portions and a handle connected between the pair of coupling portions, wherein manipulation of the handle drives the pair of coupling portions to be inserted into the housing and engages with the pair of receiving portions to make the latching member rotate relative to the housing about the pivoting member, so as to make the pair of latching portions to be released from the securing brackets; wherein each of the receiving portions defines an access hole and an engaging hole, which has a smaller size than the access hole, communicating with each other, the two engaging holes are opposite to each other and symmetrically located on two sides of the pivoting member, the two access holes are respectively located on two sides of the two engaging holes, the key member defines a pair of latching grooves respectively configured between the pair of coupling portions and the handle and used to engage with the engaging holes of the receiving portions.
