Description
_ 1 _ 1 TITLE: AN ADAPTER BASE FOR RE~lvlN~ A CARTRIDGE MEMORY
2 BACKGROUND OF THE lNV~N-llON
3 1. The Field of the Invention
4 The present invention relates to an adapter base, and more particularly to an adapter base for receiving 6 a cartridge memory to be used in various related 7 application objects.
8 2. Description of the Related Art 9 Information technology increasingly filters down from high technology appllcations to common, everyday 11 devices, and consumer goods such as an electronic 12 dictionary, microcomputer-controlled appliances and 13 electronic game machinery are practical examples of 14 applying the information technology.
Presently, a recording watch has appeared on the 16 market. In fact, techniques in digital audio and 17 recording are well known in the art, but the know-how 18 of the techniques exists in how to design a 19 corresponding circuit to fit in such a small space as defined by a watch. Referring to the recording watch as 21 described above, if the recording time is short, the 22 audio data can be directly stored in a conventional 23 internal memory on a circuit board, but, if the 24 recording time required is long, the memory space of the conventional internal memory is not sufficient.
26 Under this circumstance, a cartridge memory can be used 27 to extend the memory capacity. As shown in Fig. 6, a 28 cartridge memory 90 is externally inserted into a 1 recording watch 80 to provide a larger memory space.
2 The size of the cartridge memory 90 described 3 above has to be greatly reduced to match with the 4 dimensions of the recording watch 80, and although it is not difficult to modify the memory space of the 6 cartridge memory 90 for the existing information 7 industrial technology, a problem of being compatible in 8 dimension has emerged. So far, the cartridge memory has 9 been widely used, for example, a digital camera applies the same technology as a converting medium between 11 itself and a computer. The configurations between the 12 cartridge memory of the digital camera and the one that 13 the recording watch uses are identical, but they have a 14 remarkable distinction between their specifications. In addition to the memory capacity, they are also 16 different in their sizes. Though they are both compact 17 cartridge memories, they can not be used compatibly 18 since they are different in their dimensions.
19 Therefore, there is a long and unfulfilled need for an adapter base which receives a cartridge memory whereby 21 the cartridge memory can be received in at least two 22 devices with recesses dimensioned respectively 23 according to the memo cartridge only and the adapter 24 base containing the memo cartridge.
S~MMARY O~ T~E INVENTION
26 The present invention is directed to an adapter 27 base for receiving a cartridge memory.
28 An objective of the present invention is to 1 provide an adapter base for receiving a cartridge 2 memory whereby the assembly of the adapter base and the 3 cartridge memory conforming to a uniform specification 4 compatible with related application objects.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, 6 there is provided an adapter base for receiving a 7 cartridge memory including an adapter base having a 8 recess defined by a pair of opposed side walls, a 9 bottom wall and an end wall contiguous with the side walls formed thereon and a cartridge memory to be 11 plugged into the adapter base. A lip is formed on top 12 edge of the end wall of the adapter base and two 13 opposed resilient hooks are respectively formed in two 14 chambers correspondingly defined in the side walls of the adapter base. Each resilient hook has an oblique 16 top face and a shoulder defined below the oblique top 17 face.
18 In accordance with the other aspect of the 19 invention, there is provided an adapter base for receiving a cartridge memory, in which the adapter base 21 further includes a pair of L-shaped buffers 22 respectively formed on an end of the corresponding side 23 wall thereof and the cartridge memory has a pair of 24 multisectional tenons respectively extending from two ~5 opposed side faces thereof and corresponding to the L-26 shaped buffers.
28 The above objective, other features and advantages 1 of the present invention will become more apparent by 2 describing in detail the preferred embodiment thereof 3 with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
4 Fig. 1 shows an exploded view of an adapter base for receiving a cartridge memory in accordance with the 6 present invention;
7 Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the 8 combination structure when the cartridge memory is 9 being filtered into the adapter base;
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the 11 combination structure after the cartridge memory has 12 been filtered into the adapter base;
13 Fig. 4 is another cross-sectional view showing the 14 combination structure after the cartridge memory has been filtered into the adapter base;
16 Fig. 5 shows the combination structure after the 17 cartridge memory has been assembled into the adapter 18 base; and 19 Fig. 6 shows a cartridge memory being externally inserted into a conventional recording watch.
22 Referring to Fig. 1, the structure of a preferred 23 embodiment in accordance with the present invention 24 includes an adapter base 10 and a cartridge memory 20 to be contained in the adapter base 10 for being 26 compatible with other related application objects.
27 A recess 11 is defined in the adapter base 10 by 28 two opposed side walls, a bottom wall and an end wall 1 contiguous with the side walls. An opening is defined 2 in the adapter base 10 and is opposite to the end wall.
3 The recess 11 is configured to snugly receive the 4 cartridge memory 20. The depth of the recess 11 is greater than the height of the cartridge memory 20. A
6 semi-circular cutout is defined in the bottom wall 7 partly defining the recess 11 and is in communication 8 with the opening. In this preferred embodiment, the 9 cartridge memory 20 is downwardly pressed into the recess 11.
11 A lip 12 is formed on a top edge of the end wall 12 of the adapter base 10. Two opposed resilient hooks 14 13 are respectively formed in two chambers 13 14 correspondingly defined in the side walls of the adapter base 10, and near the opening. Each resilient 16 hook 14 has an oblique top face 140 and a shoulder 141 17 defined below the oblique top face 140. Each shoulder 18 141 faces the recess 11. The oblique top face 140 is 19 apt to allow the cartridge memory 20 pass to the shoulder 141 of the resilient hook 14 when in 21 installation.
22 Two L-shaped buffers 15 are respectively formed on 23 an end of the corresponding side wall and are adjacent 24 to the opening for preventing the cartridge memory 20 rrom longitudinally slipping out of the recess 11 of 26 the adapter base 10.
27 A grip portion with ridges 16 formed thereon is 28 provided at an end opposite the opening and adjacent to 1 the end wall of the adapter base 10 for a user to hold 2 the adapter base 10 when inserting or extracting the 3 cartridge memory 20.
4 A pair of multisectional tenons 22 respectively extend from two opposed side faces of the cartridge 6 memory 20 and correspond to the side walls of the 7 adapter base 10. Each tenon 22 is configured to be 8 matingly received between the corresponding L-shaped 9 buffer 15 and the end wall of the adapter base 10. A
first end face of the each multisectional tenon 22 11 abuts an upright portion of the corresponding L-shaped 12 buffer and a second end face of each tenon 22 abuts the 13 end wall of the base 10.
14 The cartridge memory 20 includes a front face and a rear face. A row of connectors 21 is disposed in the 16 front face of the cartridge memory 20 for providing a 17 signal connection between the cartridge memory 20 and 18 other application objects.
19 In assembly, first, the cartridge memory 20 is inclined such that the rear face thereof is hooked 21 under the lip 12 of the base 10 which is held at the 22 grip portion by a user. The front face of the cartridge 23 memory 20 is swung down towards the L-shaped buffer 15 24 whereby the tenons 22 slide down the oblique top faces 140 of the resilient hooks 14,'pushing the resilient 26 hooks 14 into the chambers 13, as shown in Fig. 2. Once 27 a top face of the cartridge memory 20 has reached below 28 each shoulder 141 of the resilient hooks 14, the 1 resilient hooks 14 snap back to their original 2 positions whereby the cartridge memory 20 is securely 3 engaged in the base 10, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
4 Figure 5 shows a configuration after the above-described adapter base 10 and the cartridge memory 20 6 have been combined.
7 To remove the cartridge memory 20, a user presses 8 the resilient hooks 14 back into the chambers 13 and 9 pushes upward against a portion of a bottom face of the cartridge memory 20 exposed by the cut-out of the base 11 10.
12 Accordingly, the present invention provides an 13 adapter base for receiving a cartridge memory to become 14 a uniform specification required by other related application objects.
16 While the present invention has been explained in 17 relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be 18 understood that various modifications thereof will be 19 apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading this specification. Therefore, it is to be understood that 21 the invention disclosed herein is intended to cover all 22 such modifications as fall within the scope of the 23 appended claims.
