Abstract:
1. A charger for charging an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a plurality of connecting pins for charging the electronic device, and an external protrusion, the charger comprising: a main body defining a receiving groove for receiving a part of the electronic device, an opening being defined in a bottom wall of the receiving groove, a receiving slot being defined in one of two opposite major sidewalls of the receiving groove; and a latching mechanism pivotally connected with the main body, the latching mechanism comprising an abutting portion received through the opening and a fastening portion extending upwardly from the abutting portion, a post protruding from a top face of the abutting portion; and a plurality of connecting pins being disposed at the fastening portion; wherein when the charger is at a non-charging state, the post of the abutting portion protrudes up beyond a top face of the bottom wall of the receiving groove, and the connecting pins are opposite to but do not extend into the receiving slot; wherein at the non-charging state the post is positioned such that the post is pushable down to a position corresponding to a charging state of the charger by the protrusion only when the electronic device is inserted into the receiving groove in a correct orientation; and wherein when the electronic device is inserted into the receiving groove in the correct orientation, the protrusion abuts against the post to make the latching mechanism rotate to a position corresponding to the charging state of the charger, and the connecting pins of the charger extend through the receiving slot and electrically contact the connecting pins of the electronic device.
