1. An external connecting electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a case body for housing electronic elements that provide functions of the external connecting electronic apparatus having a housing compartment located on one side thereof;
a connector connecting electrically to the electronic elements in the case body and being pivotally coupled on one end of the housing compartment in a turnable manner, and having a hidden position in which the connector being completely housed in the housing compartment and a connecting position in which the connector being turned outwards from the housing compartment to connect to a computer; and
a cap plate pivotally coupled on another end of the housing compartment in a turnable manner corresponding to the connector having a masked position for covering the case body and an open position turned outwards;
wherein the cap plate is movable from the masked position to the open position to push the connector moving from the hidden position to the connecting position, and the connector is movable from the connecting position to the hidden position to push the cap plate moving from the open position to the masked position.

Abstract
An external connecting electronic apparatus includes a case body, a connector and a cap plate. The connector and the cap plate are pivotally coupled on the case body in a movable manner. The connector has at least a hidden position in the case body for storing and a connecting position outside the case body. The cap plate has at least a masked position for covering the case body and an open position extending outwards. The cap plate corresponds to a free end of the connector. Thus when the cap plate is pushed, the connector may be moved at the same time.
