Abstract

A cover assembly for covering a pivot of an electronic device is disclosed. The pivot connects a first component and a second component of the electronic device. The cover assembly is disposed at one side of the pivot, and the cover assembly includes a first covering element and a second covering element. A first end of the first covering element is connected to the first component, and a second end of the first covering element includes a first limit part. A first end of the second covering element is connected to the second component, and a second end of the second covering element includes a second limit part. The first covering element is overlapped with the second covering element. When the pivot rotates, the first limit part and the second limit part move correspondingly.

Claims (20)

1. A cover assembly for covering a pivot of an electronic device, wherein the pivot is connected between a first component and a second component of the electronic device, and the cover assembly is disposed at one side of the pivot, the cover assembly comprising:

a first covering element, wherein a first end of the first covering element is connected to the first component, and a second end of the first covering element includes a first limit part;

a second covering element, wherein a first end of the second covering element is connected to the second component, and a second end of the second covering element includes a second limit part; and

at least one third covering element disposed between the first covering element and the second covering element, wherein one end of the third covering element includes a third limit part, and the other end includes a fourth limit part;

wherein the first covering element is overlapped with the second covering element, and when the pivot rotates, the first limit part and the second limit part move correspondingly.

2. The cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first limit part and the second limit part are protruding structures corresponding to each other.

3. The cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the third limit part and the fourth limit part are protruding structures, and when the pivot rotates, the third limit part is locked with the first limit part, and the fourth limit part is locked with the second limit part.

4. The cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a connecting cable of the electronic device is accommodated between the cover assembly and the pivot.

5. An electronic device comprising:

a first component;

a second component;

a pivot connected between the first component and the second component;

a cover assembly disposed at one side of the pivot and covering the pivot, wherein the cover assembly includes:

a first covering element, wherein a first end of the first covering element is connected to the first component, and a second end of the first covering element includes a first limit part; and

a second covering element, wherein a first end of the second covering element is connected to the second component, and a second end of the second covering element includes a second limit part; and

at least one third covering element disposed between the first covering element and the second covering element, wherein one end of the third covering element includes a third limit part, and the other end includes a fourth limit part;

wherein the first covering element is overlapped with the second covering element, and when the pivot rotates, the first limit part and the second limit part move correspondingly.

6. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the first limit part and the second limit part are protruding structures corresponding to each other.

7. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the third limit part and the fourth limit part are protruding structures.

8. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein a connecting cable of the electronic device is accommodated between the cover assembly and the pivot.
