Abstract:
1. An electronic device with a push-push type latch mechanism, the electronic device comprising: a platform disposed in the electronic device; a slide hook disposed on the platform and comprising an incline; a spring disposed on the platform and connected to the slide hook; two damping components disposed on opposite sides of the slide hook and touching the slide hook for reducing the speed of the slide hook by the friction force between the damping components and the slide hook; two spiral springs, each spiral spring having a fixed end fixed on the electronic device, wherein gaps are provided between the fixed ends of the spiral springs and the platform respectively; and a substrate for supporting an assembly, the spiral springs being disposed on opposite sides of the substrate, the substrate comprising two protrusions placed on the spiral springs respectively, whereby the substrate touches and pushes the incline of the slide hook for sliding the slide hook outwardly as the substrate is pushed in a pressing direction, and the assembly is coupled to the slide hook when the slide hook returns, and the substrate touches and pushes the incline of the slide hook again for sliding the slide hook outwardly to release the assembly, such that the substrate is moved upwardly and downwardly in a stroke defined by the gaps, wherein the spiral springs are elongated in the pressing direction and in the respective gaps when the substrate is pressed in the pressing direction.
