Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a hanging decoration, and more particularly to a handing decoration with a storage feature.

2. Description of Prior Art

As science and technology advance continuously, novel high-tech products are introduced constantly. Electronic devices, particularly notebooks, personal digital assistants or mobile phones have become indispensable. In view of the diversified electronic products, figuring out a way for the data transmission between different electronic products becomes an important subject to manufacturers in the related industry.

At present, most data transmissions between electronic products adopt common transmission specifications which were set up by the majority in the field as a standard for data exchanges and transmissions between various kinds electronic products, and these specifications include universal serial bus (USB) interface, storage device transmission interface (USB OTG) or IEEE1394. Although various electronic products come with different transmission interfaces or specifications, transmission units with different connectors are basically used as a bridge for connecting two electronic products.

Generally, a transmission cable and its peripherals are bundled into a package when the product is sold, but users usually pay very little or no attention to the application of these transmission cables. To simplify people's carry, these transmission cables usually become one of the discarded items, and thus users cannot find the cable when needed. This obstructs live information and causes inconveniences. Besides, most transmission cables do not have a direct protector for installation; it is not easy to carry. An organization for cables is rather troublesome; furthermore, the connectors are affected easily by dusts or liquids which will destroy their functions straightly. Therefore, finding a solution for the foregoing shortcomings becomes a subject to the persons skilled in the art.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing shortcomings, the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience in the related industries, conducted experiments and modifications finally came out a hanging decoration structure with a transmission unit in accordance with the present invention.

The present invention is to overcome the foregoing shortcomings and avoid existing deficiencies through the design of hanging decoration structure with a transmission unit, so that the transmission unit with a transmission interface connector can be stored in the hanging decoration. The invention provides not only a convenient way for carrying, but also protects the connector of the transmission unit from damage.

The present invention provides a hanging decoration structure with a transmission unit, and the structure comprises a casing and a transmission unit, wherein the casing is comprised of two hollow hemispheres, top of the upper hemisphere has a through hole for passing through a hanging element, and top of bottom hemisphere has at least one hole, two connectors on ends of the transmission unit respectively are gathered in the casing, a conducting wire of the transmission unit passes through hole of one hemisphere. The invention can store the transmission unit into the hanging decoration, and thus making it easy for carrying.

The top of the upper casing 11 has a through hole 111 for passing through a hanging element 3 (as shown in FIG. 2) which is a string in this embodiment. Further, the top of the bottom casing 12 also has at least one through hole 121, and this embodiment adopts two through holes 121. A side of the lower casing 12 has an opening 122, and a snap-on cover 13 pivotally coupled to the bottom casing 12, and the snap-on cover 13 has a latch 131 for latching a panel of the lower casing 12 and fixing the position of the snap-on cover 13, and the snap-on cover 13 could be integrally coupled with the lower casing 12. Finally, both ends of the transmission unit 2 separately have a first connector 21 and a second connector 22, and the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are connectors having a same interface or different interfaces. In this embodiment, the first connector 21 is a USB2.0 connector, and the second connector 22 is a USB1.0 connection, and a conducting wire 23 is connected to the connectors 21, 22 on both ends, and the connectors 21, 22 are stored in the casing 1. The conducting wire 23 is stored in the through hole 121 at the bottom of the lower casing 12, such that the conducting wire 23 is exposed from the casing 1 to substantially form a circular object for hanging a hanging decoration as shown in FIG. 2.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 for a cross-sectional view of a structure and a schematic view of an operation in accordance with the present invention respectively, the hanging decoration of the invention provides a hanging function by connecting the hanging decoration to a hanging element 3 of the hanging decoration casing 1 and hanging the handing decoration at a position coupled to the hanging element 3 such as a purse or a wrist or a mobile phone buckle 4 of an embodiment as shown in FIG. 4.
