Foot pad for portable electronic device

The invention relates to a foot pad of an electronic device, in particular to a foot pad of a portable electronic device.

With the development of technology, portable electronic devices are becoming more and more popular, such as notebook computers, mobile phones, MP3, PDA, etc. Many of the portable electronic devices have stable or wearable pads on the bottom. However, in general, the method of assembling the foot pads on the market is mostly by adhesive bonding or hot-melting, and the plurality of pads of rubber or plastic materials are directly disposed at the bottom of the portable electronic device, so that the height of the foot pads cannot be adjusted. In the above two assembly methods, the height of the foot pad cannot be changed after the foot pad is assembled in the portable electronic device, especially in the form of hot melt, which is completely impossible to rework, and the adhesive film may be dismantled after disassembly. In the case of glue, the foot pads originally joined to the portable electronic device are also scrapped or damaged.

Taking a notebook computer as an example, after the notebook computer and the foot pad are assembled, sometimes the foot pad cannot be touched to the desktop or the placement surface at the same time, especially when the notebook computer is placed on a non-flat desktop or a placement surface. The notebook computer is placed in an unstable manner, and one of the pads of the notebook computer is suspended, which causes inconvenience in using the notebook computer.

In addition, by bonding the foot pad to the portable electronic device by the adhesive, the adhesive may melt due to the increase of the temperature, or the adhesive may be aged for a long time to lose the original adhesive force, resulting in the foot. The pad is easily detached from the portable electronic device and cannot be used for its original function.

Therefore, the present invention provides a foot pad of a portable electronic device, which does not need to use a glue adhesive or a hot melt to set the foot pad, and allows the portable electronic device to be placed on the placement surface more smoothly. Can solve the above problems.

One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a foot pad for a portable electronic device, which uses a holding member to embed an upper fixing member in the casing, and uses a cushioning member to adjust the fixing member and the upper portion. The distance between the firmware can be set by the holding member without using adhesive or hot melt, and the height of the foot pad can be automatically adjusted by the buffer member, thereby increasing the convenience of the foot pad. .

One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a foot pad of a portable electronic device, which is provided with a fixing piece on the holding member, and the fixing piece is used to increase the height of the foot pad, so that the user can freely select the desired setting. Height, this can increase the convenience of the user to use the foot pad.

The foot pad of the portable electronic device of the present invention is embedded in a casing of the portable electronic device. The foot pad comprises a lower fixing member, at least one buffering member, an upper fixing member and at least one holding member, and a buffering member. The upper fixing member is disposed on the buffering member and is embedded in the casing. The holding member is disposed above the upper fixing member. The casing is provided with a through hole, and the holding member pierces the through hole and holds the side wall of the casing. By means of the holding member, the foot pad can be set without using glue or hot melt, and the height of the foot pad can be automatically adjusted by the cushioning member, so that the convenience of the foot pad can be increased.

In addition, the present invention further includes a fixing piece disposed above the connecting portion, and the height of the foot pad can be increased by the fixing piece, so that the user can freely select the height to be set, thereby further increasing the user's use of the foot. The convenience of the pad.

The connecting portion 52 and the holding portion 54 may also be integrally formed. The holding portion 54 of the present invention has a distance between the holding portion 54 and the upper fixing member 40. Therefore, after the holding member 50 is pierced through the through hole 12, the upper fixing member 40 is rotated to insert the housing portion 10 of the portable electronic device into the holding portion 54. Between the upper fixing member 40 and the upper fixing member 40, the upper fixing member 40 is fixed to the casing 10. In addition, in order to facilitate the installation of the upper fixing member 40 to the housing 10, the upper fixing member 40 is provided with at least one limiting post 44. The hole 42 extends through the limiting post 44, and the housing 10 is provided with a limit. The slot 16 and the limiting post 44 are disposed in the limiting slot 16 . When the user rotates the upper fixing member 40, the rotation of the upper fixing member 40 is restricted by the matching of the limiting post 44 on the limiting slot 16, so as to prevent the user from being sure whether the upper fixing member 40 is successfully set. .

Please refer to FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C respectively, which are schematic diagrams showing the steps of the foot pad of the portable electronic device in the housing according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention; When the foot pad of the invention is in the housing 10, first, as shown in FIG. 3A, the holding member 50 is aligned with the housing. After the perforation 12 of the 10, the upper fixing member 40 is placed in the receiving slot 14, and the limiting post 44 is also located in the limiting slot 16, as shown in FIG. Then, the upper fixing member 40 is rotated, so that the side wall of the housing 10 around the through hole 12 is embedded between the holding member 50 and the upper fixing member 40, and the limiting post 44 is slid from the one end to the other end in the limiting slot 16. In this way, the foot pad is firmly disposed on the housing 10.

Please refer to FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C, which are perspective, front and exploded views of the foot pad of the portable electronic device according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention; The embodiment of this embodiment differs from the embodiment of FIG. 1A in that the manner in which the holding member 50 is disposed on the upper fixing member 40 is different. The holding member 50 of this embodiment is fixed to the upper fixing member 40 in a locking manner. Therefore, the embodiment further includes a locking member 60. The connecting portion 52 of the holding member 50 is provided with a locking hole 522. The locking member 60 is disposed on the locking hole 522 and fixed to the upper fixing member 40. In order to make the locking member 60 lock the retaining member 50 more securely, and in order to prevent the locking hole 522 from being deformed or damaged when the locking member 60 is locked, the embodiment further includes a locking seat 70, and the locking seat 70 is disposed on the lock. The fixing hole 522 is disposed on the locking seat 70. The locking seat 70 can lock the holding member 50 to the upper fixing member 40 more tightly. This allows the user to easily replace the holding member 50 after the loss.

Please refer to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, which are perspective and exploded views of the foot pad of the portable electronic device according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention; as shown, the embodiment is different from the previous one.
