Abstract: A foldable electronic device is disclosed and includes a first body, a second body, a hinge mechanism, and a cover. The hinge mechanism includes a first rack plate disposed to the first body, a second rack plate disposed to the second body, a first gear shaft meshed with the first rack plate, and a second gear shaft meshed with the second rack plate and the first gear shaft. The cover is movably disposed on the hinge mechanism and covers the hinge mechanism. When the second body rotates relative to the first body, the second rack plate, the second gear shaft, the first gear shaft and the first rack plate rotate in sequence, the first rack plate and the second rack plate abut against the cover, so the cover is away from the hinge mechanism and separated from the first body and the second body.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display surface, a back surface with a first portion and a second portion, and a support assembly. The support assembly includes a first, second, and third boards. The first board includes a first surface, detachably covering the first portion, and a second surface. The second board is bendably connected to the first board and combined with the second portion. The third board includes a pivoted end and a free end. The pivoted end is pivotally connected to the second surface and covers the second board and a portion of the first board. When the first board rotates relative to the first portion, the third board also rotates relative to the second board, the second surface faces the third board, and the second board simultaneously moves along the third board. Accordingly, the display surface is raised up a distance relative to the free end.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a first pivot structure, a second body, a first plate, a second plate, a third plate, a second pivot structure, and a third pivot structure. The first body includes a first region and a second region. The second body includes a third region and a fourth region. The second body is pivotally connected to the first body by the first pivot structure. The first plate is disposed corresponding to the first region. The second plate is disposed corresponding to the third region. The third plate is disposed corresponding to the fourth region. One side of the third plate is adjacent to the second plate, and the other side of the third plate is detachably coupled to the first plate. The second pivot structure connects the first body and the first plate. The third pivot structure connects the second body and the second plate.
