Abstract:
1. A locking mechanism, operable to lock a removable electronic device in a housing structure comprising a pair of resisting portions, the locking mechanism comprising: an operating member defining a first groove and a second groove; a pair of positioning columns, each of the positioning columns being contiguous with a corresponding one of the resisting portions; a pair of bar members, with the operating member located between the bar members, each of the bar members comprising a blocking portion to engage with a corresponding one of the resisting portions, a matching portion, a guiding segment, a ladder portion, and a linking segment, the guiding segment being engaged with the operating member by engagement of the matching portion and a corresponding one of the first and second grooves, the linking segment defining a third hole contiguous with the blocking portion, the linking segment pivoted on a corresponding one of the positioning columns by the third hole receiving the corresponding positioning column and engaging the resisting portion by the blocking portion structured at an end of the linking segment, and the ladder portion being configured and structured between the guiding segment and the linking segment to secure the operating member when the blocking portion is engaged with the resisting portion; and a pair of elastic elements, each of the elastic elements fixed to the electronic device and elastically connected between the electronic device and a corresponding one of the bar members; wherein when the operating member is rotated, the guiding segments slide along the first groove and the second groove, respectively, and subsequent movement of bar members under a biasing force of the elastic elements, disengages the blocking portions from the resisting portions.
