  • Patent number: 8007309
    Abstract: An electronic connector includes a cover, a connector body, and an aligning body. The cover defines an opening therein. The connector body partially extends through the opening, and defines an interspace between the cover and the connector body so the connector body is capable of swaying in the opening. The aligning body includes a top portion secured to the connector body, and two supporting legs arranged at two opposite sides of the top portion to support the connector body. The aligning body is swayable to vary the distance of the two opposite sides of the top portion from the cover along the sway directions that are inclined towards the two opposite sides of the top portion.

  • Publication number: 20100330825
    Abstract: A conductive contact includes a contacting member and a resilient member. The contacting member includes a contacting component, a fastening component, and a rim. The fastening component includes a fastening neck, a guiding portion, and a blocking portion connected between the fastening neck and the guiding portion. A maximum width of the guiding portion is gradually decreased from a fixing end connected with the blocking portion to a free end opposite to the fixing end, and a thickness of the guiding portion is larger than that of the blocking portion. The rim is connected between the contacting component and the fastening neck. A maximum width of the fastening neck is less than that of the rim and the blocking portion. The resilient member slides through the guiding portion and the blocking portion to fixedly sleeve on the fastening neck.

  • Patent number: 7761886
    Abstract: A disk device includes a frame defining a tray housing and a rail housing communicating with the tray housing; a tray releasably received in the tray housing in the frame; and a rail movably incorporated in the rail housing. The rail includes a slide for drawing the tray out of the frame, and a latching member for detachably engaging with the tray. The slide is movable along a first direction that exposes from the rail housing, the latching member is movable along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction between a first position where the latching member is engaged with the tray and a second position where the latching member is disengaged with the tray.

  • Publication number: 20100155131
    Abstract: An electronic fabric for an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a plurality of surfaces, the electronic fabric includes a conductive layer, an adhesive layer and a protective layer. The conductive layer is configured for absorbing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and conduct static electricity from the electronic device when the conductive layer is electrically grounded. The adhesive layer is positioned on the conductive layer, and is configured for adhering the conductive layer to the electronic device. The protective layer is mounted on the adhesive layer, and is configured for protecting the adhesive character of the adhesive layer. The protective layer is separated into many parts corresponding to the plurality of surfaces of the electronic device, and each part can be peeled off separately from the adhesive layer, as the electronic fabric is wrapped on the plurality of surfaces of the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 7594831
    Abstract: A conductive contact includes a variable-diameter spring and a post. The variable-diameter spring includes a spiral body having a plurality of rotations, a first end, and a second end configured for securing with the spiral body. The first end and the second end are arranged at two opposite ends of the spiral body. An axis is defined across the first end and the second end, radial intervals are defined between every two adjacent rotations measured substantially perpendicularly to the axis. The post is secured to the first end and configured for detachably and conductively contacting with a conductive pad. Every two adjacent rotations are kept away from each other in response to compression along the axis direction of the spiral body applied on the post.
