Abstract: A retractable pen adapted for being accommodated in a portable electronic device is provided. The retractable pen includes a housing, a shaft fixed in the housing and having a first ratcheting structure, a cap having a second ratcheting structure movably engaged with the first ratcheting structure, a driving member rotatably sheathing the shaft and having a third ratcheting structure, and an elastic member sheathing the shaft and leaning against the shaft and the driving member. The elastic member constantly drives the driving member toward the first ratcheting structure or the second ratcheting structure. In a first state, the third ratcheting structure leans against the first ratcheting structure. In a second state, the third ratcheting structure is movably engaged with the second ratcheting structure and leans against the first ratcheting structure so as to push the cap away from the housing.

Abstract: A stylus including a pen rod, a first pen barrel, a second pen barrel, a driving element, and an actuating element is provided. The first pen barrel has a first end portion, a second end portion, and a first engagement slot located at the second end portion. The first end portion is fixed to the pen rod. The second pen barrel is sleeved on the second end portion. The driving element is disposed in the first pen barrel and includes an engagement portion. The engagement portion is engaged with the first engagement slot. The actuating element passes through the second pen barrel and the first pen barrel and is coupled to the driving element. The actuating element is configured to move toward a first direction after receiving a force to cause the driving element to be elastically deformed to separate the engagement portion from the first engagement slot.

Abstract: A portable electronic device including a body, a stand, and first and second magnetic assemblies is provided. The stand is pivoted to the body to rotate and being opened or closed relative to the body. The first magnetic assembly having a first magnetic dipole is movably disposed in the body. The second magnetic assembly having a second magnetic dipole is disposed on the stand. When the stand is closed to the body, the first and second magnetic dipoles correspond to each other, and produce a first and second corresponding states. In the first corresponding state, magnetic poles with opposite polarities of the first and second magnetic dipoles correspond to and attract each other. In the second corresponding state, magnetic poles with the same polarity of the first and second magnetic dipoles correspond to and repel each other, and the stand is spread relative to the body due to the repulsion.
