Abstract: A USB flash drive, comprising a housing comprising internal walls defining a receiving space, at least one of the internal walls having an engagement component, a memory main body disposed in the receiving space and comprising a hook slot component, and a fastener disposed in the receiving space comprising a protrusion component and a hook component, the hook component engaged with the hook slot component of the memory main body, and the protrusion component engaged with the engagement component of the housing, thereby fastening the memory main body to the housing.

Abstract: A portable flash drive with snap hook for attaching the drive to an object such as a key, key chain, etc. is disclosed herein. The portable flash drive includes a housing defining a chamber, a memory unit disposed in the chamber of the housing, and a slot hook attached to an end of the housing. The slot hook includes an interior aperture, a blocking end, a pivoting end, and an opening therebetween, and a spring lever having a first arm and second arm of staggered lengths extending parallel from opposite ends of an abutment segment therebetween, the first and second arms attached to the hook at the pivoting end of the hook such that the spring lever is biased to a closed position across the opening.

Abstract: A reduced length memory card is provided. The memory card, comprising a memory circuit, a housing for said memory circuit, said housing defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end and insertable into a port of a digital device, and opposing sidewalls between the first end and the second end, and a plurality of electrical contacts in electrical communication with said memory circuit, said contacts exposed through apertures formed in a bottom surface of the housing extending between the first end and the second end, wherein the memory card is electrically compatible with a Secure Digital (SD) standard, and wherein a length of the card extending between the first end and the second end is less than a width of the card extending between the opposing sidewalls. The memory could comprise an extraction ridge along the first end of the card and exposed when the card is inserted into the port of the digital device.

Abstract: A thumb drive includes a retractable USB connector sized to translate between an extended position beyond a housing and a retracted position into the housing. An actuator, such as a dial or a lever, is sized to actuate the USB connector to move the USB connector between the extended position and the retracted position. The USB connector is sized to translate to the extended position when the actuator is moved in one direction. The USB connector is sized to translate to the retracted position when the actuator is moved in an opposite direction.

Abstract: A computer peripheral device is provided having a rotatable outer cover which is coupled to and selectively extends or retracts a connector of a printed circuit from a casing in which the printed circuit board is positioned when the outer cover is rotated. In one aspect, the cover includes a pin which extends through a groove formed in a seat coupled to an end of the circuit board. When the cover is rotated, the pin is urged against the groove to selectively extend or retract the connector from the casing. In another aspect, the cover includes a pin which extends into a groove formed in the printed circuit board. When the cover is rotated, the pin is urged against the groove to selectively extend or retract the connector from the casing. In another aspect, the cover is pivotally interconnected with the circuit board, and when the cover is rotated, the casing selectively translates with respect to the circuit board to expose or cover the connector.
