Electronic apparatus and keyboard thereof
Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes a first body, a second body, a keyboard, at least one pair of body linkages and at least one pair of keyboard linkages. The second body is pivoted at the first body and has a second side facing the first body. The keyboard is adjacent to and movable connected to the second body. The keyboard side of the keyboard and the second side are located at the same side. The body linkages are protruded from the first side and movably connected to the second body. The keyboard linkages are opposite to each other and movably disposed at the keyboard and two side-edges of the second body. When the first body is extended relatively to the second body, the keyboard is able to move to a side of the second body near to the first body.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . An electronic apparatus, comprising:
a hinged body; and an input device, pivoted at a portion of the hinged body, and having an input surface being operated, wherein the input device turns over relative to the portion of the hinged body in an upside down manner, and the input surface faces toward another portion of the hinged body when the hinged body is in a folded state.
2 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the portion of the hinged body comprises:
a second body; and a first linkage, pivoted to and extended from the second body, and the input device pivoted to the first linkage far away from the second body.
3 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said another portion of the hinged body comprises:
a first body, hinged to the second body, the first body and the second body switched between an extended state and the folded state relative to each other, and the first linkage linked between the input device and the second body, wherein the input device is assembled to or detached from the second body, and swings between two opposite sides of the hinged body through the first linkage while being detached from the second body, wherein the input surface faces toward and being covered by the first body when the first body and the second body are in the folded state.
4 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein at least one of the input device and the second body has a chute that the first linkage is slidably coupled thereto.
5 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the first linkage is a telescopic rod linked between the second body and the input device.
6 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the hinged body comprises:
a second linkage, wherein one end of the second linkage is pivoted to the first body, and another end of the second linkage is coupled to a chute of the second body.
7 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the electronic apparatus is served as a tablet computer when the first body is folded to the second body, the electronic apparatus is served as a notebook computer when the first body is extended relative to the second body.
8 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the input surface and a top surface of the second body are in a same plane when the input device is assembled to opposite sides of the hinged body respectively.
9 . An input assembly, suited for being attached at opposite sides of an electronic apparatus, the electronic apparatus having a first body and the second body hinged to each other, the input assembly comprising:
an input device, having an input surface being operated; and a linkage, one end of the linkage pivoted to the input device, another end of the linkage pivoted to the second body of the electronic apparatus, and the linkage swinging about the second body, wherein the input device turns over relative to the second body in an upside down manner, and the input surface is covered by the first body when the first body and the second body are folded with each other.
10 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein at least one of the input device and the second body has a chute that the linkage is slidably coupled thereto.
11 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein linkage is a telescopic rod linked between the second body and the input device.
12 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the input surface and a top surface of the second body are in a same plane when the input device is assembled to opposite sides of the electronic apparatus respectively.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
