Magnetic open/close structure for electronic device
First Claim
1. A magnetic open/close structure for an electronic device, is essentially comprised of a primary magnet and an attachment to be attracted by the primary magnet being respectively provided to the frame of a lid and a frame of the case with the attachment being fixed at a specific location;
- a secondary magnet having the same polarity facing that of the primary magnet being provided by the side of the attachment;
a push key to provide a limited sliding motion for the primary magnet to slide back and forth at where it is overlapped with the attachment or the secondary magnet;
the primary magnet being overlapped with the attachment by magnetism when the lid covers upon the case to secure the lid on the case.

Abstract
A magnetic open/close structure for an electronic device such as a notebook computer is comprised of a primary magnet and an attachment to be attracted respectively provided on one side the lid and fixed at a specific place, a secondary magnet having the same polarity facing to that of the primary magnet being fixed by the side of the attachment; the primary magnet sliding back and forth at where it is overlapped with the attachment or the secondary magnet due to the motion of limited slide from the push key to provide a secure positioning structure for the lid when covering on the case; and the lid being ejected for a certain angle from the case for easy access to open it up by taking advantage of the rejection between the primary and the secondary magnets when the primary magnet is pushed to be overlapped with the secondary magnet.
