Abstract
A portable data accessing device and more particularly the use of multi-port interfaces on a data accessing device disclosed.

Claims13
A multi-port data accessing device, comprising:
- an inner body including a first connector, a second connector, a grip protruding from the ventral and dorsal surface of the inner body, and one or a plurality of locking/releasing mechanisms, wherein the ventral and dorsal surface of the inner body has a width greater than a side surface of the inner body;
- a first moving-cap including a first connector opening;
- and
- a second moving-cap including a second connector opening;
- wherein the first moving-cap slides inwards or outwards along the inner body with help of the grip to release and move the first moving-cap between an extended position and a retracted position to retract or extend, respectively, the first connector through the first connector opening and change a state of the first connector between inactive/dormant and active/operation;
- wherein the second moving-cap slides inwards or outwards along the inner body with help of the grip to release and move the second moving-cap between an extended position and retracted position to retract or extend, respectively, the second connector through the second connector opening and change a state of the second connector between inactive/dormant and active/operation;
- wherein the grip assists traction and movement of the first and second moving-caps;
- wherein a locking/releasing mechanism securely locks the first moving-cap within the multi-port data accessing device in either an active/operation or an inactive/dormant state of the first connector;
- wherein another locking/releasing mechanism securely locks the second moving-cap within the multi-port data accessing device in either an active/operation or an inactive/dormant state of the second connector.
