Abstract
A motherboard includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board, and a connecting member. The connecting member movably connects the first circuit board and the second circuit board, and the connecting member is capable of adjusting a relative position of the first circuit board to the second circuit board.
Claims12
A motherboard comprising:
- a first circuit board;
- a second circuit board;
- and a connecting member movably connecting the first circuit board and the second circuit board, the connecting member being capable of adjusting a relative position of the first circuit board to the second circuit board;
- wherein the connecting member comprises a first connecting piece, and a second connecting piece pivotably connected to the first connecting piece;
- and
- wherein the first connecting piece defines a through hole in a middle section thereof, and a protrusion is formed on a middle section of the second connecting piece to be pivotably inserted into the through hole of the first connecting piece for allowing relative movement of the first and second connecting pieces.

A motherboard comprising:
- a first circuit board;
- a second circuit board spaced apart from the first circuit board;
- a connecting member mechanically connecting the first and second circuit boards and allowing adjustment to an amount of space therebetween thereby adjusting a size of the motherboard, wherein the connecting member comprises a first connecting piece and a second connecting piece, the first connecting piece has one end pivotably fixed to one of the first and second circuit boards, and another end slidably connected to the other one of the first and second circuit boards, the second connecting piece has one end pivotably fixed to one of the first and second circuit boards, and another end slidably connected to the other one of the first and second circuit boards;
- and
- a cable electrically connecting the first and second circuit boards for allowing communication therebetween.

A motherboard fitting to different bases, comprising:
- a first circuit board configured for installing electronic components thereon, the first circuit board defining a mounting hole configured for extension of a fastener to mount the first circuit board to one of the bases;
- a second circuit board configured for installing other electronic components thereon, the second circuit board defining another mounting hole configured for extension of another fastener to mount the second circuit board to said one of the bases;
- a connecting member mechanically connecting the first circuit board and the second circuit board in such a manner that allows the second circuit board being movable relative to the first circuit board in a first direction to adjust the distance between the mounting hole of the first circuit board and said another mounting hole of the second circuit board in the first direction whereby the motherboard is capable of fitting the different bases, wherein the connecting member comprises a first connecting piece having a first fixed end portion fixed to one of the first and second circuit boards and a first sliding end portion slidably attached to the other of the first and second circuit boards, the other of the first and second circuit boards defines a sliding slot, the first sliding end portion being slidable along the sliding slot in a second direction to urge the second circuit board to move relative to the first circuit board in the first direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction;
- and
- a cable electrically connecting the first circuit board and the second circuit board.
