Abstract
A connection device includes a base and a bracket. The base includes an upper feature, a lower feature, and a middle wall disposed between the upper and the lower features. The middle wall includes a guiding structure and a position-limiting structure that define a moving space therebetween. The bracket is configured to be movably mounted on the base and includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and a middle portion disposed between the upper and the lower portions. The middle portion includes an elastic portion configured to be mounted in the moving space. The upper and the lower portions of the bracket are configured to be mounted to the upper and the lower features of the base respectively.
Claims17
A connection device, comprising:
- a base provided with an upper feature, a lower feature, and a middle wall disposed between the upper feature and the lower feature, wherein the middle wall has a first side and a second side, a first guiding structure is disposed adjacent to one of the first side and the second side, a first position-limiting structure is disposed adjacent to the other of the first side and the second side, and the first guiding structure and the first position-limiting structure define a first moving space therebetween, a second position-limiting structure is disposed adjacent to the one of the first side and the second side of the base, a second guiding structure is disposed adjacent to the other of the first side and the second side of the base, the second guiding structure and the second position-limiting structure define a second moving space therebetween;
- and
- a bracket configured to be movably mounted on the base, wherein the bracket is provided with an upper portion, a lower portion, and a middle portion disposed between the upper portion and the lower portion, and the middle portion is provided with a first elastic portion;
- wherein while the bracket is being mounted to the base from the first side toward the second side of the base in a first direction, the first elastic portion of the bracket is guided into the first moving space by the first guiding structure of the base, and the upper portion and the lower portion of the bracket are mounted to the upper feature and the lower feature of the base respectively;
- wherein the middle portion of the bracket is provided with a second elastic portion, and while the bracket is being mounted to the base from the first side toward the second side of the base in the first direction, the second elastic portion of the bracket is brought into contact with the second position-limiting structure of the base, releases an elastic force upon moving past the second position-limiting structure, and thus enters the second moving space.
