CONNECTING MECHANISM AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE SAME

摘要

A connecting mechanism for connecting a first unit and a second unit together is illustrated. The connecting mechanism includes a first linkage bar, a second linkage bar for being coupled to the first unit, and a third linkage bar for being slidably connected to the second unit. The first linkage bar includes a first end with a latching protrusion and an opposite second end. The second linkage bar includes a third end, an opposite fourth end, and a number of teeth. The first end is slidably connected to the second linkage bar. The latching protrusion is configured to selectively interlock with any one of the teeth of the second linkage bar. The third linkage bar includes a fifth end pivotally connected to the second end of the first linkage bar and a sixth end pivotally connected to the fourth end of the second linkage bar.

主权项

1. A connecting mechanism for connecting a first unit and a second unit together, the connecting mechanism comprising:
at least one first linkage bar comprising a first end and an opposite second end, the first end comprising a latching protrusion; at least one second linkage bar configured to be coupled to a rear side of the first unit, the at least one second linkage bar comprising a third end, an opposite fourth end, and a plurality of teeth, wherein the first end is slidably connected to the at least one second linkage bar, and the latching protrusion is configured to selectively interlock with one of the plurality of teeth of the at least one second linkage bar, thereby obtaining a desired angular orientation of the first unit with respect to the second unit; and at least one third linkage bar configured to be slidably connected to the second unit, the at least one third linkage bar comprising a fifth end and a sixth end, the fifth end pivotally connected to the second end of the first linkage bar and the sixth end pivotally connected to the fourth end of the second linkage bar.
