Electronic device with retractable stylus

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a main body comprising an opening, a slot and a receiving space communicating with the opening and the slot; and

a stylus comprising a first body, a latching mechanism and a resilient member disposed between the first body and the latching mechanism, wherein the first body is movable with respect to the latching mechanism along a longitudinal axis, the first body and the latching mechanism are restricted within the receiving space when the latching mechanism engages the slot, and the resilient member forces the latching mechanism protruded from the main body along the longitudinal axis when the latching mechanism is separated from the slot;

wherein the latching mechanism comprises a cantilever portion having a first protrusion movable perpendicular to the longitudinal axis to alternatively latch the slot by deforming the cantilever portion, and a second protrusion projecting through the opening and adjacent to the main body when the latching mechanism engages the slot, wherein when the second protrusion is pressed, the cantilever portion is deformed to separate the first protrusion from the slot.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stylus further comprises a second body movably connecting the first body along the longitudinal axis and the latching mechanism formed on the second body, the first and second bodies are positioned closer to each other and the stylus is retracted when the latching mechanism engages the slot, and the resilient member exerts force moving the second body away from the first body to extend the stylus when the latching mechanism is separated from the slot.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first body has a first flange at the end thereof, and the second body has a second flange abutting the first flange and restricting extension of the stylus.

4. A stylus, comprising:

a first body extending along a longitudinal axis;

a second body movably connecting the first body along the longitudinal axis;

a latching mechanism disposed on the second body, comprising a cantilever portion, a first protrusion, and a second protrusion formed on the cantilever portion, wherein the first protrusion is positioned closer to the first body than the second protrusion and movable substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis by deforming the cantilever portion, and the second protrusion extends longer than the first protrusion; and

a resilient member having a first end abutting the first body and a second end abutting one of the second body and the latching mechanism.

5. The stylus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first body has a first flange at the end thereof, and the second body has a second flange blocking the first flange and restricting the extension of the stylus.

6. An electronic device, including:

a main body comprising an opening, a slot and a receiving space communicating with the opening and the slot; and

a stylus detachably connected to the main body, comprising a resilient member and a latching mechanism, wherein the stylus is restricted within the main body and the resilient member is deformed when the latching mechanism is engaged with the main body, and the resilient member exerts force to extend the stylus to make the stylus protruded from the main body when the latching mechanism is separated from the main body;

wherein the latching mechanism comprises a cantilever portion having a first protrusion movable perpendicular to the longitudinal axis to alternatively latch the slot by deforming the cantilever portion, and a second protrusion projecting through the opening and adjacent to the main body when the latching mechanism engages the slot, wherein when the second protrusion is pressed, the cantilever portion is deformed to separate the first protrusion from the slot.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the stylus further comprising a first body and a second body retractably connecting the first body, and the second body is between the first body and the latching mechanism when the first body extends.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the second body is hollow with the resilient member disposed therein and compressed between the first body and the latching mechanism.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the latching mechanism is fixed to the second body.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the cantilever portion is substantially extended along the longitudinal axis, and the first protrusion is disposed at the free end of the cantilever portion.

11. The electronic device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the second protrusion extends longer than the first protrusion, and the first protrusion is closer to the first body than the second protrusion.

12. An electronic device, including:

a main body, comprising a slot and a receiving space communicating with the slot; and

a stylus movably received within the receiving space, comprising:

a stylus body extending along a longitudinal axis;

an elastic latching mechanism formed on the stylus body, the latching mechanism comprising a free end, a first protrusion and a second protrusion, the first protrusion being closer to the free end than the second protrusion;

wherein the first protrusion is movable substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis by deforming the latching mechanism;

wherein the first protrusion is engaged with the slot when the latching mechanism is free of deformation, and the first protrusion is separated from the slot when the elastic latching mechanism is deformed by pressding the second protrusion.

13. The electronic device as claimed in claim 12 , the elastic latching mechanism further comprising a cantilever portion formed at an end of the stylus.

14. The electronic device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the second protrusion is extended longer than the first protrusion.

15. The electronic device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the first protrusion is disposed at the free end of the elastic latching mechanism.

16. The electronic device as claimed in claim 12 , the main body further comprising an opening, wherein the second protrusion is engaged with the opening when the latching mechanism is free of deformation and the stylus is received within the receiving space.
