Abstract:
1. A latching device applied in an electronic device comprising a battery cover and a main body, comprising: an elastic member mounted on a bottom of the battery cover facing the main body; and a latching member slidably connected to one end of the battery cover; wherein the latching member comprises an operation portion, an elastic projection, and at least one hook portion, the operation portion is exposed to users for sliding the latching member, and the at least one hook portion faces the main body and is configured for hooking the main body when the battery cover covers the main body wherein when the elastic projection is in a deformed state, the latching member can pass through a slot defined by a retaining protrusion protruding from the bottom of the battery cover; when the latching member passes through the slot, the elastic projection resumes its natural state to hook the latching member onto the retaining protrusion; when the battery cover is pressed to cover the main body, the operation portion is pushed to slide the latching member along the battery cover and the elastic member is deformed by the slide of the latching member, and when the battery cover covers the main body, the push of the operation portion is removed, thus the elastic member resumes its natural state, and the at least one hook portion hooks the main body under the spring force of the elastic member.
