ABSTRACT:
A latch mechanism used in a portable electronic device includes a housing member, a cover member, and a latching assembly. The cover member forms a claw, and the housing member defines a positioning hole. The latching assembly can be slidably mounted in the housing member and slides between a latched position and a released position. In the latched position, the cover member latches to the housing member. The latched position is maintained by entry of the claw into the positioning hole. In the released position, the cover member releases from the housing member, and the claw is released out of the positioning hole. During the sliding process, the latching assembly abuts and directly raises the cover member relative to the housing member from the latched position to the released position.
