Claim Text:
1. A slide switch disposed on a casing of an electronic device for constraining movements of a first unit and a second unit relative to the casing, the slide switch comprising: at least one buckling component disposed on the first unit, the at least one buckling component comprising a connection portion and an inclined structure; at least one constraining component disposed on the second unit, the at least one constraining component comprising a block portion and a guide portion; and a latch for latching the at least one buckling component and the at least one constraining component, the latch comprising: a body slidably disposed on the casing; at least one hook portion monolithically integrated with the body, the at least one hook portion being engaged with the connection portion to constrain the movement of the first unit relative to the casing when the body moves to a first position relative to the casing; a first guide structure disposed on a top of the at least one hook portion, the first guide structure pressing the inclined structure when the body moves to a second position relative to the casing to separate the first unit from the casing; and at least one contact portion monolithically integrated with the body, the at least one contact portion contacting against the block portion to constrain the movement of the second unit relative to the casing when the at least one hook portion is engaged with the connection portion, the at least one contact portion being separated from the block portion with a movement of the first guide structure relative to the inclined structure when the body moves to the second position, and when the body moves to a third position relative to the casing, the at least one contact portion slides relative to the guide portion to separate the second unit from the casing.
