Abstract
A connector and a chamber are provided. The connector of the chamber includes the first sub connector, the second sub connector and the plurality of foldable connectors. Each wire can be covered by the connector and does not need to be exposed. The wire is protected and organized, and the appearance of the chamber is aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, when the chamber is in the close operation, the protrusion of each sub connector is disposed in the slide track of the former sub connector, and each sub connector is received in the accommodation space of the former sub connector, so that the requirement space of the connector is reduced and the volume of the chamber is reduced.
Claims14
A connector pivotally connected between a box and a cover, comprising:
- a first sub connector disposed in the box and comprising three lateral walls and a first connector accommodation space defined by the three lateral walls of the first sub connector, and a slide track formed on and running through the at least one of the three lateral walls of the first sub connector;
- a second sub connector disposed in the cover and comprising three lateral walls and a second connector accommodation space defined by the three lateral walls of the second sub connector, and a protrusion disposed on an outer surface of at least one of the three lateral walls of the second sub connector;
- and
- a plurality of foldable connectors disposed between the first sub connector and the second sub connector in sequence, wherein each of the plurality of foldable connectors comprises three lateral walls and a third connector accommodation space defined by the three lateral walls of each of the plurality of foldable connectors, a slide track formed on and running through the at least one of the three lateral walls of each of the plurality of foldable connectors, and a protrusion disposed on an outer surface of the lateral wall having the slide track of each of the plurality of foldable connectors;
- wherein the protrusion of a first foldable connector of the plurality of foldable connectors is slidably disposed in the slide track of the first foldable connector to make the first foldable connector of the plurality of foldable connectors received in the first connector accommodation space, the protrusion of another foldable connector of the plurality of foldable connectors is slidably disposed in the slide track of former one of the plurality of foldable connectors to make another foldable connector of the plurality of foldable connectors received in the third connector accommodation space of the former one of the plurality of foldable connectors, and the protrusion of the second sub connector is slidably disposed in the slide track of a last one of the plurality of foldable connectors to make the second sub connector received in the third connector accommodation space of the last one of the plurality of foldable connectors.
