Abstract

A receiving device includes a casing, a guiding member, a rotation member, a key, and a pushrod. The casing includes a baseboard, a first side plate, a second side plate, and a receiving member. The guiding member is received in the receiving member and defines a receiving groove. The rotation member rotatably covers the receiving groove and defines a bump element. The bump element is mounted on the first side plate through a first spring. The key is movably arranged in the casing. The pushrod includes a first end, a second end, and a spindle. The key is driven by an external force to drive the pushrod to rotate about the spindle, and the pushrod drives the rotation member to rotate until the receiving groove is no longer covered, thus the receiving groove is opened.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A receiving device comprising:
a casing comprising a baseboard, a first side plate, a second side plate, and a receiving member;
a guiding member received in the receiving member and defining a receiving groove used for receiving a rod-shaped object;
a rotation member rotatably covering the receiving groove and defining a bump element and a first spring, wherein the bump element is connected to the first side plate by the first spring;
a key movably arranged in the casing and having an exposed end protruding out from the casing; and
a pushrod comprising a first end contacting the key, a second end mounted on the bump element, and a spindle mounted on the casing;
wherein when the exposed end of the key is pressed, the key drives the pushrod to rotate about the spindle, and the pushrod drives the rotation member to rotate until the receiving groove is no longer covered, thus the receiving groove is made accessible.

2. The receiving device according to claim 1 , wherein the casing further defines a fixing member, the fixing member is mounted on the baseboard, the fixing member defines a hole, and a portion of the spindle is received in the hole.

3. The receiving device according to claim 1 , wherein two ends of the guiding member are arc-shaped.

4. The receiving device according to claim 3 , wherein the rotation member is a sheet structure with a curved surface which matches with the two ends of the guiding member, the bump element is movably arranged on the rotation member, the rotation member is driven to rotate along the two ends of the guiding member by the bump element.

5. The receiving device according to claim 4 , wherein the casing further defines two bulges, the bulge is a sheet structure with a curved surface which aligns with the rotation member.

6. The receiving device according to claim 5 , wherein the baseboard defines a first through hole, the first through hole is arranged close to the first end of the pushrod, the bulge close to the first end defines a second through hole, the second through hole aligns with the first through hole.

7. The receiving device according to claim 6 , wherein the key passes through the first through hole and the second through hole, the key comprises a pressing member, a supporting member, a pushing member, and a second spring, the pressing member extends out of the casing from the second through hole, the supporting member is coupled to the pressing member and the pushing member, the pushing member is cone-shaped, and is in contact with the first end of the pushrod, the second spring is arranged on the supporting member, one end of the second spring abuts a flanged end of the supporting member, the other end abuts the baseboard, thereby biasing the key.

8. The receiving device according to claim 7 , wherein the first end of the pushrod is right-angled, and is in contact with the pushing member.

9. The receiving device according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving groove of the guiding member is used for receiving a pencil.
