Patent ID: 8562030

Claim:
An electronic mobile device, comprising: a base defining a compartment opening; a cover being movably supported by the base to restrict access to the compartment opening; a latch supported by the cover, the latch comprising a leg extending perpendicularly from the cover and a foot extending perpendicularly from the leg; and a roller pivotably supported by the base and having an outer surface, the roller pivoting in a first direction to engage the foot and move the latch relative to the roller and thereby move at least a portion of the cover away from the compartment opening and support the cover when the cover is moved away from the compartment opening, the roller pivoting in a second direction to engage the foot and move the latch relative to the roller and thereby move at least a portion of the cover into a position to restrict access to the compartment opening and hold the cover in the position to restrict access to the compartment opening, and the roller being operable to pivot in the first direction or in the second direction in response to manipulation of the outer surface.
