20090145240Test device for electronic product - A test device for an electronic product comprises a vertical pressing pole having a pushing end. The test device also comprises a movable platform with a sticking point, wherein upward movement of the movable platform moves the vertical pressing pole upwards by the sticking point. The vertical pressing pole passes through a balance weight which rests on the sticking point. A pressurized platform bears pressure from the pushing end, when the pushing end is pushed onto the pressurized platform. A load-bearing platform supports the pressurized platform and the electronic product located below the pressurized platform. The product is pressed between the pressurized platform and the load-bearing platform due to the pressure from the pushing end lying on the pressurized platform. When the movable platform is further moved downwards after the pushing end is on the pressurized platform, the sticking point bearing the balance weight is separate from the movable platform.06-11-2009
20090104948HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A handheld electronic device including a body, a cover, a locking structure, and a button structure is provided. The body has a cave, and the cover has a first locking part. The cover is adapted to be slidably disposed on the body and cover the cave. The locking structure has a first fastened end and a first cantilever. The first fastened end is fastened to the inner wall of the body, and a second locking part corresponding to the first locking part is disposed on the first cantilever. The button structure is corresponding to the locking structure. When the second locking part locks with the first locking part, the button structure is used to apply a force to the locking structure, to elastically deform the first cantilever for unlocking the second locking part and the first locking part.04-23-2009
