Patent ID: 7837484

Claim:
A cover mechanism for an electronic device, the cover mechanism comprising: a base member defining an interface hole and a locking hole; a cover combination including a cover member and at least one elastic member, one end of the at least one elastic member attached to the cover member, another end of the at least one elastic member attached to the base member; the cover member being slidably assembled to the base member, and the at least one elastic member biasing the cover member towards a position releasably covering the interface hole; a locking member elastically and movably attached to the base member and contained inside the locking hole, the locking member separately abutting a portion of the cover member to selectively prevent movement of the cover member; wherein pressing the locking member into the locking hole causes the locking member to move out of a path of the cover member to unlock the cover member, allowing the cover member to automatically move towards a position where the cover member does not cover the interface hole.
