1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a pointing device for notebook computers.
2. Description of Related Art
Notebook computers include a pointing device, such as a touchpad. The pointing device is mounted on the computer by a securing panel. However, the process of securing the securing panel is laborious and time-consuming because it is secured to a bracket by screws. Therefore, a more convenient method of mounting a pointing device is required.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with references to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean “at least one.”
The enclosure 10 includes an enclosure body 11, two first resisting portions 13, and two second resisting portions 15. The two first resisting portions 13 and the two second resisting portions 15 extend from the enclosure body 11. Each first resisting portion 13 is L-shaped and includes a first part 131 (shown in
The enclosure 10 further includes two pairs of securing portions 17 extending from the enclosure body 11 and two elastic elements 19. Each elastic element 19 includes a securing part 191, an elastic part 193 extending from the securing part 191, and a resisting part 195 extending from the elastic part 193. The securing part 191 defines two securing holes 1911 corresponding to the two securing portions 17. The elastic part 193 is V-shaped. The resisting part 195 defines a positioning opening 1951 corresponding to the positioning portion 153.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the present disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
