Abstract

A mounting structure for connecting an electronic device to a mounting surface is provided. The mounting structure includes a mounting base, a linkage, and a bracket. The first end of the linkage pivots on the mounting base. The bracket is rotatably connected to the second end of the linkage, wherein the bracket includes a cable receiving groove. The electronic device is disposed on the bracket. The electronic device includes a cable. At least a portion of the cable extends into the cable receiving groove.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a device housing, comprising a first recess and a second recess;
a button, rotatably disposed on the device housing, wherein the button comprises at least a protrusion, and when the button is in a first button orientation, the protrusion is wedged into the first recess, and when the button is in a second button orientation, the protrusion is wedged into the second recess;
an elastic element, abutting the button, wherein the button is adapted to be moved between a first button position and a second button position, and when the button is in the first button position, the protrusion is adapted to be wedged into the first recess or the second recess, and when the button is in the second button position, the protrusion is separated from the first recess or the second recess, the elastic element tends to push the button from the second button position back to the first button position;
a light source; and
a light guiding element, wherein the light source is disposed in the device housing, the light guiding element is disposed between the light source and the button.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the button comprises a transparent mark, the light source provides a light, the light travels from the light source, through the light guiding element, and passes the transparent mark to be emitted.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising a shielding plate, wherein the shielding plate is disposed in the device housing, and the shielding plate surrounds the light guiding element.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the shielding plate is affixed to the device housing, one end of the elastic element abuts the button, and the other end of the elastic element abuts the shielding plate.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the shielding plate further comprises a restriction wall, the button comprises a restriction rib, the restriction rib corresponds to the restriction wall, and at least a portion of the elastic element is sandwiched between the restriction wall and the restriction rib.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the shielding plate further comprises a restriction surface, and when the button is in the second button position, the button abuts the restriction surface.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the light guiding element is affixed to the button, and when the button is rotated between the first button orientation and the second button orientation, the light guiding element is rotated with the button.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising an elastic shielding material, the elastic shielding material surrounds the light source and the shielding plate abuts the elastic shielding material.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the light guiding element comprises a light receiving surface and a light emitting surface, the light emitting surface corresponds to the button, the light receiving surface comprises a light receiving recess, and the light receiving recess corresponds to the light source.
