Computer with a detachable case

Abstract

A computer with a detachable case is disclosed to include a second case member abutted to a first case member, a rotating member pivoted to the second case member and rotatable between a first position and a second position. When the rotating member is on the second position, a spring member of the second case member is adapted to impart a pulling force to the rotating member to pull the rotating member from the second position to the first position. A second retaining portion of the second case member is forced into engagement with the first retaining portion of the first case member when the rotating member is turned to the first position. The second retaining portion is disengaged from the first retaining portion when the rotating member is turned to the second position.
