Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a first housing; a rotatable part mounted rotatably in said first housing and rotatable relative to said first housing about a first axis which extends in a transverse direction; a second housing pivoted to said rotatable part so as to be rotatable relative to said first housing about a second axis which is perpendicular to said first axis and so as to be rotatable together with said rotatable part about said first axis relative to said first housing between opposite first and second angular positions; and a positioning unit mounted in said first housing and including a stopper that is disposed adjacent to said rotatable part, and that is movable in said transverse direction relative to said first housing between an engaging position, in which said stopper moves upwardly to engage one of said rotatable part and said second housing when said second housing is positioned at one of said first and second angular positions, thereby preventing rotation of said rotatable part and said second housing about said first axis, and a disengaging position, in which said stopper moves downwardly to disengage from said one of said rotatable part and said second housing, thereby permitting rotation of said second housing and said rotatable part about said first axis.
