     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features. The description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. 
     Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented. 
     The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like. 
     The present disclosure relates to an electronic device. 
       FIG. 1  illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an electronic device. The electronic device comprises a chassis  10 , a bezel  20  mounted on a front of the chassis  10 , two fixing members  30 , and two slide members  40 . 
     The chassis  10  comprises two opposite side walls  11  and a top wall  12  perpendicular to the two side walls  11 . A plurality of fixing pins  13  protrude out from a front end of each side wall  11 . 
       FIG. 2  illustrates a partially isometric view of a bezel of the electronic device. The bezel  20  comprises an elongated base plate  21 , a pair of side plates  23  and  25  perpendicularly extending from an upper side edge and a lower side edge of the base plate  21 , and two end plates  26  perpendicularly formed at two opposite ends of the side plates  23  and  25 . Each of the end plates  26  defines an inverted L-shaped first recessed portion  261  therein and an entrance  265  communicated with a lower portion of the first recessed portion  261 . An elongated channel  263  extends through the first recessed portion  261 . An L-shaped groove  28  is defined in the bezel  20  beside the first recessed portion  261  and comprises a first portion  281  defined in the end plate  26 , and a second portion  282  defined in the side plate  23 . The bezel  20  forms a hook  283  in the first portion  281  and an operating member  284  perpendicularly coupled to the hook  283  in the second portion  282 . An outside of each hook  283  forms a block  2831  adjacent to the operating member  284 . The block  2831  comprises a blocking wall perpendicular to the end plate  26 , and a slanting guiding wall  2832  angled with the blocking wall. 
     Each of the fixing members  30  comprises a main body  31  and a tab  33 . The main body  31  comprises a fixing wall  32 . The tab  33  extends from the main body  31 , coplanar with the fixing wall  32 . A notch  323  is defined in a lower portion of the fixing wall  32 . An elongated second recessed portion  321  is defined in the fixing wall  32 , located between the notch  323  and the tab  33 . A fixing hole  322  is defined in the second recessed portion  321 . A plurality of fixing apertures  331  is defined in the tab  33 . 
     Each slide member  40  comprises a first piece  41 , a second piece  43  parallel to the first piece  41 , and a connecting piece  42  perpendicularly connected between the first piece  41  and the second piece  43 . The first piece  41  defines an elongated slot  412 . An upper end of the second piece  43  defines a locking hole  432 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4 , in assembly, each slide member  40  is attached to the corresponding fixing member  30  and the bezel  20 . The first piece  41  of the slide member  40  is received in the second recessed portion  321  of the fixing member  30  and a fastener  100  extends through the slot  412  to engage in the fixing hole  322 . The second piece  43  of the slide member  40  is received in the first recessed portion  261  of the bezel  20  and a fastener  102  extends through the channel  263  to engage in the locking hole  432  of the slide member  40 . The blocks  2831  of the bezel  20  engage in the notches  323  of the fixing members  30 . At this time, the side plates  23  and  25  are parallel with the top wall  12  of the chassis  10 . The fixing pins  13  of the chassis  10  engage in the fixing apertures  331  of the fixing members  30  and the bezel  20  is located at a front end of the chassis  10 . 
       FIG. 5  illustrates the electronic device in a first state. When the front of the chassis  10  needs to be exposed, the operating members  284  are pressed to release the blocks  2831  of the hooks  283  from the notches  323 . The bezel  20  is slid upwards and the fasteners  102  slide in the channel  263  of the bezel  20 , until the fasteners  102  are blocked by a bottom end of the channels  263 . The bezel  20  is further slid upwards until the fasteners  100  are blocked by the bottom end of the slots  412 . At this time, the bezel  20  is located above the chassis  10 , and the second pieces  43  are in alignment with the entrances  265 . 
       FIG. 6  illustrates the electronic device in a second state. The bezel  20  is rotated about 90 degrees towards the top wall  12  of the chassis  10 . In this state, the side plates  23  and  25  are perpendicular to the top wall  12  of the chassis  10  and the second piece  43  of the slide member is located in the entrance  265 . 
     When the bezel  20  needs to block the front of the chassis  10 , the bezel  20  is reversely rotated about 90 degrees away from the chassis  10 . Then, the bezel  20  is slid downwards until the fasteners  102  are blocked by a top end of the channels  263  and the fasteners  100  are blocked by the top end of the slots  412  and the blocks  2831  engage in the notches  323  of the fixing members  30 . 
     The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, including matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims.
