Abstract

A power supply includes a main body having a coupling face and a handlebar. The coupling face includes a first end and a second end forming a power socket. The handlebar includes a first beam coupled to the first end and a second beam. The first beam extends a tab outwardly. The handlebar defines a window configured to expose the power socket. The handlebar is transitionable between: (i) a first configuration in which the second beam couples the second end, the window corresponds and exposes the power socket, the tab extends toward a first direction, and (ii) a second configuration in which the second beam is remote from the second end, the window is remote from the power socket, and the tab extends toward a second direction different from the first direction. A method for removing the power supply from a case of an electronic device is also provided.

Claims (11)

1. A power supply comprising:

a main body having a coupling face, the coupling face comprising a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the second end forming a power socket configured to couple a power cord; and

a handlebar coupled to the coupling face of the main body, the handlebar comprising a first beam coupled to the first end of the coupling face, a second beam opposite to the first beam, a third beam and a fourth beam connecting the first beam and the second beam, the first beam extending a tab outwardly from a joint of the first beam and the fourth beam along the fourth beam and configured to resist an environment member, the handlebar defining a window configured to expose the power socket;

wherein the handlebar is transitionable between: (i) a first configuration in which the second beam of the handlebar couples the second end of the coupling face of the main body, the window of the handlebar corresponds to the power socket and exposes the power socket, the tab of the handlebar extends toward a first direction, and (ii) a second configuration in which the second beam of the handlebar is remote from the second end of the coupling face of the main body, the window is remote from the power socket, and the tab of the handlebar extends towards a second direction different from the first direction; the tab resists the environment member when the handlebar is being rotated between the first configuration and the second configuration, so that the power supply is pushed by the environment member.

2. The power supply of claim 1 , wherein a middle portion of the second beam of the handlebar extends a coupling member outwardly configured to couple the environment member.

3. The power supply of claim 2 , wherein the coupling member has an end thereof extending beyond the second beam along a width direction of the second beam.

4. The power supply of claim 1 , wherein the handlebar further comprises a connecting beam connecting the third beam and the fourth beam, the connecting beam being adjacent to the second beam.

5. The power supply of claim 4 , wherein the second beam, the connecting beam, the third beam and the fourth beam cooperatively define the window.

6. The power supply of claim 1 , wherein the first beam of the handlebar is pivotally coupled to the first end of the coupling face of the main body.

7. The power supply of claim 1 , wherein the tab is perpendicular to the first beam.

8. The power supply of claim 1 , wherein the first beam is parallel to the second beam.
