  • Patent number: 10109961
    Abstract: A plug structure comprises a seat body, an electric power line and a housing, wherein the front end of the seat body includes at least two conductive plates, the inside of the seat body has a main fuse electrically connected to the conduct plate and a backup fuse, and the electric power line can be set up at the rear end of the seat body and clipped by the contraction plates respectively installed on the two sides of the rear end of the seat body; therefore, when the housing is sleeve installed towards the seat body from the electric power line, the contraction plate squeezes the electric power line due to the structure at the rear end of the housing such that the zigzag tooth-wise pattern configured on the inner surface of the contraction plate can tightly press upon the surface of the electric power line so the electric power line may not be easily pulled out from the rear end of the seat body.

  • Patent number: 10090618
    Abstract: An electrical plug and receptacle relying on magnetic force from an electromagnet to maintain contact are disclosed. The plug and receptacle can be used as part of a power adapter for connecting an electronic device, such as a laptop computer, to a power supply. The plug includes electrical contacts, which are preferably biased toward corresponding contacts on the receptacle. The plug and receptacle each have a magnetic element. The magnetic element on one of the plug or receptacle can be a magnet or ferromagnetic material. The magnetic element on the other of the plug or receptacle is an electromagnet. When the plug and receptacle are brought into proximity, the magnetic attraction between the electromagnet magnet and its complement, whether another magnet or a ferromagnetic material, maintains the contacts in an electrically conductive relationship.

  • Patent number: 10078797
    Abstract: A stem ejectable component assembly for electronic devices does not use a pin or needle to eject the tray holder. The assembly includes a receiving housing coupled to a SIM/MMC tray, a front plate, and a stem. The front plate incorporates slider pins that slide out to engage with recesses in the support frame of the electronic device to lock the assembly. The slider pins have inner ends that abut the stem and hold the stem in a pushed-in position. The slider pins also incorporate profiled protrusions that engage with ball pins fixed to the receiving housing. When the front plate is pushed inward, the profiled protrusions cause the slider pins to move outwards and release the stem to project out of the front plate. Pulling the stem causes the slider pins to slide in and disengage from the recesses in the support frame to enable withdrawal of the assembly.
