Abstract
A connector for connecting a first device with a second device through a combination thereof with a flat cable of the second device is disclosed. The connector includes a connecting head for receiving the flat cable therefrom; and an auxiliary device, located outside the connecting head for being exerted thereon a first directional force to clamp the flat cable in the connecting head, and a second directional force to release the flat cable from the connecting head. By providing such an auxiliary device to facilitate the clamping of the flat cable in the connecting head, the connector can be in good mechanical and electronic connection with a flat cable.
Claims6
A connector for connecting a first device with a second device through a combination thereof with a flat cable of said second device, comprising:
- a connecting head for receiving said flat cable therefrom;
- a base plate for supporting thereon said connecting head;
- a pillar element movably located on said connecting head for being exerted thereon a first directional force to clamp said flat cable in said connecting head, and a second directional force to release said flat cable from said connecting head;
- a shaft penetrating through said pillar element;
- a handle being a bent portion from a first end of said shaft outside said pillar element, and exerted thereon said first and said second directional forces to pivotally rotating said pillar element via said shaft;
- a first post protruding from a first side of said base plate, and having a through hole for being inserted therethrough said shaft at a second end;
- and
- a second post protruding from a second side of said base plate, and having a hooked trench for being inserted therefrom and receiving therein said shaft at said first end.
