Abstract

An electronic device comprises a body, a recording medium, and a detachable element. The body comprises a first recess, defined in the body. The recording medium is disposed in the first recess. The detachable element is detachably disposed on the recording medium in a removal direction of the recording medium to hinder removal thereof.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a body comprising a first recess defined therein;

a recording medium, disposed in the first recess; and

a detachable element, detachably disposed nearby the recording medium in a removal direction of the recording medium to hinder removal thereof.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first recess comprises an opening.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first recess further comprises a sidewall and a second recess formed on the sidewall, containing the recording medium.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the recording medium is inserted in the second recess.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the second recess comprises a sliding structure, disposed therein, the recording medium is slidably inserted into the second recess along the sliding structure.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the recording medium comprises a positioning support, disposed thereon to facilitate insertion of the recording medium into the sliding structure.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the recording medium further comprises a band for extracting the recording medium from the second recess.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the band comprises polyester film material.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7, therein when the recording medium is disposed in the second recess, the band is deformed and disposed between the recording medium and the second recess.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the detachable element and the recording medium are disposed side by side in the first recess.

11. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the detachable element overlaps the recording medium in the first recess.
