  • Publication number: 20100309621
    Abstract: A locking mechanism includes a tray to receive a hard disk drive and a locking apparatus. The locking apparatus includes a base attached to a front wall of the tray, a handle pivotally connected to the base, and a locking member attached to the base. The base defines a receiving chamber and a mounting hole in communication with the receiving chamber. The locking member includes a sliding portion slidably received in the receiving chamber of the base to impel the handle to pivot relative to the base, and a locking tongue attached to the sliding portion. Movement of the locking tongue relative to the mounting hole causes the locking mechanism to toggle between a locked and unlocked position.

  • Patent number: 6835080
    Abstract: A sound source connector with cutover switch comprising at least a plastic housing, a flexible terminal, a contact terminal, and two signal terminals. Interior of the plastic housing is defined with retaining grooves for inserting the contact terminal and the two signal terminals, and also embodies a main receptacle for plugging a butt sound source plug therein. An insulated protruding arm extends toward interior of the main receptacle of the plastic housing. The insulated protruding arm of the plastic housing and the flexible terminal are mutually close, and moreover, the flexible terminal is adjacent to the contact terminal. The two signal terminals extend into the interior of the main receptacle of the plastic housing. Upon the sound source plug pushing on the insulated protruding arm, the flexible terminal comes in contact with the contact terminal, thereby enabling the flexible terminal and the contact terminal to transmit same signals.
