  • Patent number: 9484682
    Abstract: A USB socket includes a socket body, an upper cover, at least one USB interface disposed in the socket body, and a power supply conversion structure for converting an external power supply to a power supply suitable for output of the USB interface. A USB jack is disposed on the upper cover at a position corresponding to the USB interface, the upper cover is detachably mounted on the socket body, the USB interface is mounted at a lower side of the upper cover, and when the upper cover is mounted to the socket body, the USB interface inserts into the socket body. A moving contact is electrically connected to the USB interface, a fixed contact electrically connected to the power supply conversion structure is further disposed in the socket body and the moving contact is driven to be in contact conduction with the fixed contact.

  • Patent number: 9136839
    Abstract: A switch assembly includes a switch cover and a switch base. The switch cover fixedly couples to the switch base with engagement protrusions integrally defined in the switch cover and corresponding apertures defined within the switch base without fasteners or requiring tools. From a disassembled configuration, the cover couples to the switch base by aligning cover protrusions with corresponding base apertures, pressing the cover against the base, sliding the cover in a first engagement direction, and locking the cover protrusions into the apertures by applying a threshold level of engagement force in an engagement direction. From an assembled configuration, the cover de-couples from the switch base by applying a threshold level of disengagement force in disengagement direction oppositely oriented with respect to the engagement direction, thereby unlocking the cover protrusions from the base apertures.
