US 2013/0154291 A1 · EXTRACTION DEVICE

Abstract

An exemplary extraction device includes a telescoping mechanism, a clamping mechanism and a shell receiving the telescoping mechanism and the clamping mechanism. The shell defines an accommodating space and a first receiving space. The first receiving space is shaped to receive a sidewall of a device. The telescoping mechanism moves back and forth in the accommodating space and the clamping mechanism closes and opens as the telescoping mechanism moves back and forth. The extraction device can grip a distal end of an element showing outside the sidewall of the device, the sidewall is inserted into the first receiving space of the extraction device and the telescoping mechanism closes on and grips the available small portion of the element, thereby allowing the element to be withdrawn.

Dependent claims

An extraction device, comprising:

a shell defining an accommodating space and a first receiving space, the first receiving space located at a side of the shell and communicating with the accommodating space, the first receiving space configured for receiving a portion of a sidewall of an enclosure of a device;
a telescoping mechanism configured to move back and forth along a first axis in the accommodating space;
and
a clamping mechanism comprising two clamping grippers, the clamping mechanism operatively connected to the telescoping mechanism such that the two clamping grippers close toward each other and open away from each other when the telescoping mechanism moves back and forth in the accommodating space;
wherein when an element of the device protrudes out from the portion of the sidewall of the device and the portion of the sidewall of the device is put into the first receiving space, the sidewall abuts the telescoping mechanism and drives the telescoping mechanism to move rearward away from the first receiving space thereby driving the grippers to close, and the grippers clasping the element therebetween for extracting the element from the device.

An extraction device for gripping an element of a device located in a first position protruding a slight distance from a sidewall of an enclosure the device and pulling the element out from the first position to a second position in which the element is extended a maximum distance from the sidewall, the extraction device comprising:

a shell defining an accommodating space and a first receiving space, the first receiving space located at a side of the shell and communicating with the accommodating space, the first receiving space configured for receiving a portion of the sidewall of the device;
a telescoping mechanism movable back and forth in the accommodating space along a first axis;
and
a clamping mechanism operatively connected to the telescoping mechanism such that the clamping mechanism closes and opens when the telescoping mechanism moves back and forth in the accommodating space;
wherein when the portion of the sidewall of the device where the element located is inserted into the first receiving space, the sidewall abuts the telescoping mechanism and drives the telescoping mechanism to move rearward away from the first receiving space, the clamping mechanism rotates to close and clasps the element located in the first position;
and
when the telescoping mechanism is then pulled away from the sidewall of the device, the clamping mechanism correspondingly pulls the element out to the second position.
