20080286985 | Electronic Device with Multiple-Direction Rotation Connector - An electronic device with a multiple-direction rotation connector includes a main body and a pivoting structure. The main body has a bearing structure while the pivoting structure pivots on the bearing structure to rotate along the first and second axes. The pivoting structure has two convex ends, while the bearing structure has two opposite concaves adapted to receive the convex ends respectively. One of the concaves is formed with a protruding column that is adapted to slide within a groove formed on the pivoting structure. Thereby, the connector can be accommodated in the main body and rotates in multiple directions for the preferred operation. | 11-20-2008 |

20110136349 | FLEXIBLE BATTERY CONNECTOR - A battery connector including an electrical connector including a plurality of terminals, each mechanically and electrically connectable with a battery, the terminals being in electrical communication with each other and mechanically connected to each other with a joint member that permits flexing the batteries with respect to one another. | 06-09-2011 |
20120258608 | Multiple port connector for multi-contact universally jointed power and/or signal connector device - A multiple port connector for multi-contact, universally jointed, power and/or signal connector devices including a housing providing a plurality of universal port units, preferably providing for the attachment of electrical and/or signal devices to the universal port units in parallel. | 10-11-2012 |
20130052839 | DETACHABLE CONNECTION STRUCTURE - A connection structure which electrically connects, through a conductive ball, a first contact which is provided at an electrical wiring member and a second contact which is provided at an electrical component, wherein a bottom surface of a case is provided with a ball assembly-use passage, the first contact is provided at the electrical wiring member facing the ball assembly-use passage. | 02-28-2013 |
20150093917 | MOBILE FIBERS AND ELONGATED STRUCTURES AND UNITS THEREOF - The present invention provides a unit or segment having a ball, a socket and a connector with the connector physically linking the ball and socket together such that a main opening of the socket continuous with the socket cavity faces away from the connected ball. Alternatively, a unit/segment may instead include a ball and a socket coupled directly together. Elongated structures comprising a plurality of units joined together in series, such as through ball joints and other connections, are further provided that may vary greatly in length and size. The ball and socket may have corresponding electromagnets and magnetic materials, respectively, that may attract or repel each other to cause controlled rotational movement of the individual ball joint(s) by controlling the operation of the electromagnets. Higher order structures including one or more elongated structures are further provided. Methods for constructing and/or operating units and/or elongated structures are further provided. | 04-02-2015 |
20150132974 | ADAPTER FOR USING TWO ONE-WAY LIGHT BULBS IN A THREE-WAY LIGHT SOCKET - An adapter for using two one-way light bulbs in a three-way light socket comprises a lower body, a first female socket body, and a second female socket body. The lower body comprises a male metal threaded base for screwing into a three-way light socket. The first female socket body is connected to the lower body and comprises a first female threaded socket for receiving a first one-way light bulb. The second female socket body is connected to the lower body and comprises a second female threaded socket for receiving a second one-way light bulb. The first one-way light bulb is energized when the three-way light socket switch is in a low position, the second one-way light bulb is energized when the three-way light socket switch is in a medium position, and both one-way light bulbs are energized when the three-way light socket switch is in a high position. | 05-14-2015 |
