ABSTRACT:
An electronic appliance includes a base defining a receiving opening, a cover pivoted to the base, and a locking mechanism slideably secured to the base next to a guide board for locking the cover to the base. The base forms a guide board in an interior thereof. The cover defines a clasping opening aligned with the receiving opening. The locking mechanism includes a locking hook, a torsion spring, an operating button, and a housing. The housing rotatably secures the locking hook thereon and is engaged with the operating button. The housing is moveable together with the operating button and remains at a first state in which the locking hook is held in the base under cooperative action of the torsion spring and the guide board and a second state in which the locking hook protrudes from the receiving opening to clasp the cover via the clasping opening.
