Patent ID: 8339783

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: a first housing comprising at least one positioning block; a second housing defining at least one guiding slot, the at least one positioning block slidably received in the at least one guiding slot; a slide mechanism slidably attaching the first housing to the second housing, the slide mechanism comprising a fixed plate and a sliding plate sliding on the fixed plate, the fixed plate fixed on the second housing; a hinge bar, a first end of the hinge bar rotatably connecting to the sliding plate of the slide mechanism, a second end of the hinge bar movably connecting to the first housing; and a resilient element, two ends of the resilient element fixed on the slide mechanism and the hinge bar; wherein when the second housing overlaps the first housing, the resilient element is compressed to generate an elastic potential energy by the hinge bar and the slide mechanism; when the second housing is open relative to the second housing, the elastic potential energy drives the hinge bar tilted relative to the slide mechanism and supports the second housing.
