Abstract
A rotatable adapter device with multiple connectors includes a main body, a first electrical connector, a plurality of second electrical connectors and a conducting unit. The first electrical connector is disposed rotatably on the main body, the plurality of second electrical connectors are disposed fixedly on the main body and the conducting unit is electrically connected to the first electrical connector and at least one of the second electrical connectors. Therefore, it has a transforming function and is more convenient for a user. Moreover, its design avoids the signal lines becoming intertwined with each other when they are inserted into the adapter.

11. A rotatable adapter device with multiple connectors, comprising:
-
a main body; a first electrical connector disposed rotatably on the main body; a plurality of second electrical connectors disposed fixedly on the main body, at least one of the second electrical connectors being different in connector type from another; and a conducting unit electrically connected to the first electrical connector and to at least one second electrical connector; wherein the main body has a receiving space formed therein, the first electrical connector has a plurality of signal terminals;
the signal terminals connect to a contacting portion respectively, the contacting portions are extended into the receiving space, the conducting unit is disposed in the receiving space, the conducting unit has a circuit board;
the circuit board has a plurality of lines, the lines have a plurality of first ends and second ends, the first ends of the lines are electrically connected to the second electrical connectors, the second ends of the lines are connected to a circular track of continuous annularity, the circular track is electrically connected to all of the second electrical connectors at the same time through the lines;
the circular track is placed in the movement path of the contacting portion of the first electrical connector,the contacting portion being slidably displaceable along the circular track responsive to rotation of the first electrical connector to maintain electrical connection thereto, whereby the contacting portion of the first electrical connector is electrically connected to all of the second electrical connectors at the same time through the lines and the circular track of the circuit board.
