Abstract

A mouse device with a separable transmission cable includes a mouse body, a transmission cable and a buckling means. The mouse body further has a buckling jack and a body connection port located close to the buckling jack. The transmission cable further includes a first terminal and a second terminal, in which the first terminal has a first connection port for engaging the body connection port and the second terminal has a second connection port for engaging a computer. The buckling means for buckling the first terminal inside the buckling jack of the mouse body is located at the first connection port.

Claims

1. A mouse device with a separable transmission cable, comprising:

a mouse body, further having a buckling jack and a body connection port located close to the buckling jack, the buckling jack having at least an opening;

a transmission cable, further comprising a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal having a first connection port for engaging the body connection port, the second terminal having a second connection port for engaging a computer; and

a buckling means, located at the first connection port for buckling the first terminal inside the buckling jack of the mouse body.

2. The mouse device according to claim 1, wherein said mouse body further has a cover protrusion located at said opening, the cover protrusion shielding said opening of said buckling jack while said transmission cable is disengaged from said mouse body.

3. The mouse device according to claim 1, wherein said first terminal has an internal accommodation space, said first connection port being located at one side of the accommodation space, said first terminal further having a first opening at another side of the accommodation space and a second opening at a further side of the accommodation space, said buckling means further including a stop rod, a push rod and two spring elements, the stop rod having a stop end penetrating through the first opening and a first taper end located opposing to the stop end, one of the two spring elements sleeving the stop rod inside the accommodation space, the push rod having a second taper end to contact with the first taper end of the stop rod and a push end penetrating the second opening, another of the two spring elements sleeving the push rod inside the accommodation space.

4. The mouse device according to claim 1, wherein said buckling means includes a connection part, a stop part and a depression part, the connection part being to connect with said first terminal, the stop part being protruded laterally from the connection part in a manner of toward said second terminal, the depression part being protruded from a rear of the stop part in a manner of toward said second terminal, the stop part being contacted against an inner wall of said buckling jack and the depression part being located outside said mouse body while said first terminal is buckled inside said buckling jack of said mouse body.

5. The mouse device according to claim 1, wherein said first terminal has an internal accommodation space and said first connection port is located at one side of the accommodation space, said first terminal further having a first opening located at another side of the accommodation space opposing to said first connection port, said buckling means further including a stop rod and a spring element, the stop rod located mainly inside the accommodation space and having a stop end penetrating through said first opening, the spring element sleeving the stop rod inside the accommodation space, said mouse body further including a buckling hole located close to a bottom plate of the accommodation space, the stop end of the stop rod being plugged inside the buckling hole of the bottom plate while said first terminal is buckled inside said buckling jack.
