Abstract

A housing device for a hand-held electronic product includes a housing having a first sliding member formed on each of two lateral sides thereon and at least one positioning structure formed on the housing; and a cover mounted to the housing, the cover including a second sliding member formed on each of two lateral sides thereof to cooperate with one of the first sliding members of the housing such that the cover can slide back and forth to be opened or closed with respect to the housing, and at least one positioning member formed on an inner face of the cover and engaged with the positioning structure of the housing. The housing device has a simplified structure and reduced fabrication cost, and also provides stable and smooth opening or closing of the cover with respect to the housing, as well as can be easily assembled.

Claims

a housing comprising a first sliding member formed on each of two lateral sides thereof, and at least one positioning structure formed on the housing; and

a cover mounted to the housing, the cover comprising a second sliding member formed on each of two lateral sides thereof to cooperate with one of the first sliding members of the housing, and at least one positioning member formed on an inner face of the cover and engaged with the positioning structure of the housing, such that the cover is positioned and slide to an opening position and a closing position on the housing.

2. The housing device of claim 1, wherein the first sliding member of the housing is a guiding slot.

3. The housing device of claim 2, wherein the second sliding member of the cover is a slide rail.

4. The housing device of claim 3, wherein the slide rail is engaged with the guiding slot.

5. The housing device of claim 1, wherein the first sliding member of the housing is a slide rail.

6. The housing device of claim 5, wherein the second sliding member of the cover is a guiding slot.

7. The housing device of claim 6, wherein the slide rail is engaged with the guiding slot.

8. The housing device of claim 1, wherein the positioning structure is a slanted surface formed at a corner of the housing, with two positioning surfaces being provided at two ends of the slanted surface respectively.

9. The housing device of claim 8, wherein the positioning member of the cover is a protrusion.

10. The housing device of claim 9, wherein the protrusion of the cover has a surface abutting against and sliding on the slanted surface of the housing, and the positioning surfaces of the slanted surface define the opening position and the closing position of the cover.
