Abstract:
1. An electronic device housing, comprising: a housing body having a bottom wall provided with an opening; and a movable foot pad mechanism including a foot pad disposed pivotably on said bottom wall and having a foot pad body received in said opening, said foot pad body being movable pivotally between a first direction state and a second direction state within said opening, said foot pad body protruding farther downwardly of said bottom wall in the second direction state than in the first direction state, a first spring connected to said foot pad body and said housing body so as to provide a biasing force for biasing said foot pad body to turn pivotally to the second direction state, and an interfering member disposed operably in said housing body and having an interfering end, said interfering end facing toward said foot pad body and being provided for interferingly engaging with said foot pad body to thereby limit said foot pad body in the first direction state, said foot pad body being turned pivotally to the second direction state by virtue of the biasing force of said first spring when said interfering member is operated to cause said interfering end to move away from said foot pad body wherein said bottom wall is further provided with a plurality of first air vents, said electronic device housing further comprising a ventilation grille disposed on said bottom wall, adjacent to said foot pad body, and above said first air vents, and a second spring, said ventilation grille having a plurality of second air vents, said second spring having one end connected to said bottom wall at a position between said opening and said first air vents, and another end connected to said ventilation grille such that said ventilation grille is displaceable resiliently relative to said bottom wall, said ventilation grille being pushed by said foot pad body to enable said second air vents to be staggered relative to said first air vents and said second spring accumulating a restoring force when said foot pad body is disposed in the first direction state, said ventilation grille being restored to a state in which said second air vents are registered and fluidly communicated with said first air vents when said foot pad body is disposed in the second direction state.
