Abstract

A fore connection member, comprising a fore connection member body and engaging-disengaging members. The engaging-disengaging members are pivoted to side surfaces of the fore connection member body respectively, and each comprise a recess, a grab, an operating end, an abutting end and a pivoting end. The engaging-disengaging members each have the pivoting end thereof pivoted to a corresponding one of the side surfaces and pivots about the fore connection member body. The operating end and the abutting end are disposed at two sides of the pivoting end respectively, the grab is provided with a hook portion facing the abutting end, and a circular arc abutting portion disposed at the abutting end comprises a circular arc abutting surface smoothly connected to the recess. A rear connection member for use with the fore connection member and a connection member comprising the fore connection member and the rear connection member are also provided.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A combination of a fore connection member and a rear connection member, comprising:
a fore connection member body, comprising two side surfaces;
two engaging-disengaging members, being pivoted to the two side surfaces respectively and each comprising a recess, a grab, an operating end, an abutting end and a pivoting end, wherein each of the engaging-disengaging members has the pivoting end thereof pivoted to a corresponding one of the side surfaces of the fore connection member body and pivots about the fore connection member body, the operating end and the abutting end are disposed at two sides of the pivoting end respectively, the grab is provided with a hook portion facing the abutting end, the abutting end is provided with a circular arc abutting portion comprising a circular arc abutting surface, and the circular arc abutting surface is smoothly connected to the recess;
a rear connection member body, comprising two side surfaces; and
two protrusions, being disposed on the two side surfaces respectively and each comprising an abutting portion and a snap-fitting portion, wherein each of the protrusions has a recessed portion recessed longitudinally with respect to the abutting portion, and the recessed portion is smoothly connected to the abutting portion,
wherein the rear connection member and the fore connection member are operatively longitudinally inserted into each other.

2. The combination of a fore connection member and a rear connection member of claim 1 , wherein a distance from the operating end to the pivoting end is larger than a distance from the abutting end to the pivoting end.

3. The combination of a fore connection member and a rear connection member of claim 1 , wherein the fore connection member is a fore terminal structure.

4. The combination of a fore connection member and a rear connection member of claim 1 , wherein the rear connection member is a rear terminal structure.

5. A combination of a fore connection member and a rear connection member, comprising:
a fore connection member body, comprising two side surfaces;
two engaging-disengaging members, being pivoted to the two side surfaces respectively and each comprising a recess, a grab, an operating end, an abutting end and a pivoting end, wherein each of the engaging-disengaging members has the pivoting end thereof pivoted to a corresponding one of the side surfaces of the fore connection member body and pivots about the fore connection member body, the operating end and the abutting end are disposed at two sides of the pivoting end respectively, the grab is provided with a hook portion facing the abutting end, the abutting end is provided with a circular arc abutting portion comprising a circular arc abutting surface, and the circular arc abutting surface is smoothly connected to the recess;
a rear connection member body, comprising two side surfaces; and
two protrusions, being disposed on the two side surfaces respectively and each comprising an abutting portion and a snap-fitting portion, wherein each of the protrusions has a recessed portion recessed longitudinally with respect to the abutting portion, and the recessed portion is smoothly connected to the abutting portion,
wherein the rear connection member and the fore connection member are longitudinally inserted into each other, each of the protrusions of the rear connection member is contained in the recess of each of the engaging-disengaging members of the fore connection member, the abutting end of each of the engaging-disengaging members of the fore connection member correspondingly extends into the recessed portion of each of the protrusions of the rear connection member, and the hook portion of each of the engaging-disengaging members of the fore connection member is correspondingly snap-fitted in the snap-fitting portion of each of the protrusions of the rear connection member.

6. The combination of a fore connection member and a rear connection member of claim 5 , wherein the rear connection member is a rear terminal structure.
