  • Publication number: 20070062046
    Abstract: A chisel includes a handle, a tip removably mounted on the handle, an insertion rod secured to the tip and inserted into the handle, and at least one positioning unit mounted on the handle and releasably urged on the insertion rod to releasably position the insertion rod on the handle so that the tip is removably mounted on the handle. Thus, the chisel has replaceable tips, so that the handle can co-operate with tips of different types, thereby facilitating a user operating the chisel, and thereby enhancing the working efficiency. In addition, the user only has to carry a handle and a plurality of tips to construct the chisel without having to carry multiple chisels, thereby greatly decreasing the weight.

  • Publication number: 20070037439
    Abstract: An electrical connector (100) used to be mounted on a printed circuit board includes an insulating housing (20) defining a receiving cavity (21) for mating with a complementary component (80), a number of electrical contacts (30) to be soldered to the printed circuit board, an ejecting mechanism assembled to the insulating housing and a metal cover (40) covering the insulating housing (20). The ejecting mechanism includes a slider (60) slidable between a first position and a second position, and a spring (50) for driving the slider to the first position. The metal cover forms a tab (41) at the first position for preventing the slider from moving over the first position under a force that the spring applies to the slider.
