Abstract:
1. A cover mechanism for covering a hole of an electronic device, the cover mechanism comprising: a base member; a locking member defined by the base member, the locking member defining a first positioning slot and a second positioning slot; a cover member comprising an elastic positioning arm and configured for movement between: a locked position, where the cover member is locked to the base member by locking of the cover member to the locking member, the positioning arm is positioned by the first positioning slot; an opened position, where the cover member exposes the hole while being physically attached to the locking member; and a released position, where the cover member can move relative to the locking member and the positioning arm is positioned by the second positioning slot; wherein, between the locked position and the released position, the positioning arm is deformable and movable; and between the released position and the opened position, the positioning arm is slidable along the second positioning slot; the cover member is further configured for moving relative to the locking member in a first linear direction between the releasing position and the locked position, and further in a second linear direction between the released position and the opened position, the second linear direction being substantially perpendicular to the first linear direction.
