Abstract

A portable data transmitting device, including a storage portion and a movable portion, is disclosed. The storage portion includes a fixed housing including a first side and a second side, and a first plug connector disposed on the first side. The movable portion includes a rotatable housing that is rotatably disposed on the second side of the fixed housing, a slidable housing that includes a first side and is slidably disposed on the rotatable housing, and a second plug connector disposed on the first side of the slidable housing. Thereby, the portable data transmitting device can be attached to portable apparatuses with different thicknesses, and can abut on the portable apparatus so as not to wobble or be bent easily.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A portable data transmitting device, comprising:
a storage portion, which comprises a fixed housing and a first plug connector, wherein the fixed housing includes a first side and a second side disposed oppositely, and the first plug connector is disposed on the first side; and
a movable portion, which comprises a rotatable housing, a slidable housing and a second plug connector, wherein the rotatable housing is rotatably disposed on the second side of the fixed housing, the slidable housing is slidably disposed on the rotatable housing and includes a first side facing the same direction as the first side of the fixed housing, and the second plug connector is disposed on the first side of the slidable housing;
wherein, the slidable housing is slidable to extend or decrease an overall length of the movable portion to enable the fixed housing to abut on a mobile apparatus connected to the second plug connector.

2. The portable data transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the movable portion further comprises a restoring structure, an end of which is fixed onto the rotatable housing and another end of which is fixed onto the slidable housing, and the restoring structure provides a restoring force towards the rotatable housing.

3. The portable data transmitting device of claim 2 , wherein the restoring structure comprises a spring, an elastic piece, or an elastic string.

4. The portable data transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the movable portion further comprises a sliding structure disposed on the rotatable housing and the slidable housing.

5. The portable data transmitting device of claim 4 , wherein the sliding structure comprises a sliding block disposed on the slidable housing and a guiding rail disposed on the rotatable housing.

6. The portable data transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the fixed housing comprises a receiving slot, an opening of which is disposed on the second side, and the second plug connector is selectively disposed in the receiving slot.

7. The portable data transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the movable portion further comprises a rotatable shaft disposed on the rotatable housing and pivotally connected to the second side of the fixed housing.

8. The portable data transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the storage portion further comprises a rotatable shaft disposed on the second side of the fixed housing and pivotally connected to the rotatable housing.

9. The portable data transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the movable portion or the storage portion comprises a positioning structure to position the rotatable housing after the rotatable housing rotates, relative to the fixed housing, to a certain angle.

10. The portable data transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first plug connector is a USB connector, and the second plug connector is a Lightning connector.

11. The portable data transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the slidable housing further includes a concave structure or a gripping structure disposed on a second side of the slidable housing.

12. The portable data transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the storage portion further comprises a memory, which is disposed in the fixed housing and electrically connected to the first plug connector and the second plug connector.

13. The portable data transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the storage portion further comprises a memory card, the fixed housing includes an insert slot, and the memory card is detachably inserted into the insert slot to electrically connect to the first plug connector and the second plug connector.
