When the operation member is operated to be moved from the first position toward the second position, the press portion presses the pressed portion in the ejecting direction to move the object in the ejecting direction. At the latest until the operation member reaches the second position, the regulating portion enters into an ejecting path to regulate a movement of the regulated portion in the ejecting direction so that the regulating portion prevents the object from being released off the connector in the ejecting direction. The ejecting path is a movement path on which the regulated portion passes when moved in the ejecting direction. | 12-24-2015 |
20160028186 | EJECTING MECHANISM OF A PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MACHINE MODULE, AND PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MACHINE MODULE AND PRIMARY MACHINE THEREWITH - An ejecting mechanism provides an ejecting executing portion driven by an ejecting driving portion for pushing a secondary machine out of a primary machine and for separating a secondary connector and a primary connector connected to each other. It allows the secondary machine to be ejected out of the primary machine automatically and prevents damage of the secondary connector and the primary connector caused by applying an external pulling force on the secondary machine directly. Furthermore, when a first external force overcomes a resilient driving force to push the secondary machine into a slot, the ejecting executing portion contacting with the secondary machine swings toward a rear end of a connecting surface of the primary connector. Additionally, an ejecting locking portion moving with the swing of the ejecting executing portion can be locked by a locking executing portion, such that the automatic ejection of the secondary machine is restrained. | 01-28-2016 |
20160036162 | Electrical Plug Removal Device - An electrical socket having an electrical plug removal device for allowing a user to more easily remove an electrical plug from an electrical socket. The electrical socket resembles a traditional electrical socket having openings into which the prongs of an electrical plug can be inserted. A switch is provided adjacent to the electrical socket, wherein the switch can be actuated in order to release the electrical plug from the electrical socket. In a preferred embodiment, the switch is operably connected to an ejecting device that includes one or more levers positioned within the openings of the electrical socket, wherein the levers are adapted to press against the prongs in order to eject the electrical plug from the socket. The levers can be electrically or mechanically operated depending upon the embodiment. | 02-04-2016 |
