Abstract
The present invention is to provide a MultiBay with unplugging/positioning mechanism, in which the mechanism is installed over one side of a bay and equipped with an movable rod and a latch so that when a peripheral device is inserted in an insertion hole installed at one end of the bay, a brake column installed at bottom side of the peripheral device pushes against the movable rod. After the movable rod is pushed to a fixed distance, the bounced force will make the latch stick out to exactly insert in a positioning hole installed on the peripheral device, making the peripheral device be positioned at the location where another connector on top of the peripheral device and one connector installed inside another end of the bay are connected.
Claims5
A MultiBay with unplugging/positioning mechanism comprises:
- a MultiBay body whose one end is installed with an insertion hole and the other end is built in a connector used to connect the related circuit or contact;
- an unplugging/positioning mechanism installed over one side inside the MultiBay body having a movable rod and a latch on its one side so that the bounced force makes the latch stick out after the movable rod is pushed by external force to a fixed distance and brings the latch back inside the unplugging/positioning mechanism after the movable rod is pushed by external force once again;
- a peripheral device, which can be inserted in the insertion hole over one end of the MultiBay body, is installed with a brake column and a positioning hole respectively at the places corresponding to the movable rod and latch of the unplugging/positioning mechanism, and is installed with another connector over one end of the peripheral device corresponding to the connector inside another end of the MultiBay body capable of being mutually connected with the connector.
