Abstract

A transfer plug for a variety of sockets includes an insulating shell, a first and a second connectors and a signal plug. The insulating shell has two side arms and a first pivoted portion. The first and the second connectors correspondingly combine with the insulating shell respectively and are electrically connected. The signal plug movably connects to the insulating shell and has a third connector connecting to the second connector. The signal plug has a gliding groove in a lateral edge thereof. The insulating shell combines with the first and second connector to form a transiting plug. The signal plug can slidably move and turn in different directions in an unused state. The signal plug can be used alone and doesn'"'"'t need to be disassembled. The transiting plug can be repeatedly connected to other transiting plugs and converted into a multitasking transfer plug with different specifications and types of sockets.

Claims

1. A transfer plug for a variety of sockets, comprising:

an insulating shell, having two side arms and a first pivoting portion;

a first connector and a second connector correspondingly combining with the insulating shell respectively, and electrically connecting to each other; and

a signal plug, having a third connector engaged with the second connector at an front end thereof, and having a gliding groove concavely in a lateral edge thereof corresponded to the first pivoting portion, the signal plug movably connected to the insulating shell.

2. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insulating shell has a sliding groove concavely in a lateral edge thereof.

3. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first pivoting portion is a protruding pole correspondingly received in the gliding groove of the signal plug.

4. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 1, wherein the signal plug further has a fourth connector at a rear end thereof.

5. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 1, wherein the gliding groove further receives a movable gliding block, and the gliding block has a second pivoting portion correspondingly engaging with the first pivoting portion.

6. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 5, wherein an elastic component is further received in the gliding groove, and two ends of which press against a side of the gliding block and an inner wall of the gliding groove, respectively.

7. A transfer plug for a variety of sockets, comprising:

an insulating shell, having two side arms and a first pivoting portion;

a first connector and a second connector, correspondingly combining with the insulating shell respectively, the first connector and the second connector electrically connecting to each other; and

a signal plug, movably connecting to the insulating shell and having a gliding groove concavely in a lateral edge thereof corresponding to the first pivoted portion, the signal plug electrically engaging with the second connector.

8. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 7, wherein the insulating shell has a sliding groove concavely in a lateral edge thereof.

9. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first pivoted portion is a protruding pole correspondingly received in the gliding groove of the signal plug.

10. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 7, wherein the signal plug is a RJ-45 plug and the second connector is a RJ-45 socket which connects with the signal plug.

11. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 7, wherein the gliding groove further receives a movable gliding block, and the gliding block has a second pivoted portion correspondingly engaging with the first pivoted portion.

12. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 11, wherein an elastic component is further received in the gliding groove, and two ends of which press against a side of the gliding block and an inner wall of the gliding groove, respectively.

13. A transfer plug for a variety of sockets, comprising:

an insulating shell, having two side arms and a gliding groove;

a first connector and a second connector, correspondingly combining with the insulating shell respectively, and electrically connecting to each other; and

a signal plug, movably connecting to the insulating shell, having a first pivoted portion on a lateral edge thereof corresponding to the gliding groove, and the signal plug electrically engaging with the second connector.

14. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 13, wherein the insulating shell has a sliding groove concavely in a lateral edge thereof.

15. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 13, wherein a movable gliding block is further received in the gliding groove, and the gliding block has a second pivoted portion correspondingly engaging with the first pivoted portion.

16. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 15, wherein an elastic component is further received in the gliding groove, and two ends of which press against a side of the gliding block and an inner wall of the gliding groove, respectively.

17. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 13, wherein the signal plug has a third connector at a front end thereof connected to the second connector.

18. A transfer plug for a variety of sockets, comprising:

an insulating shell, having two side arms; and

a first connector and a second connector, correspondingly combining with the insulating shell respectively, and electrically connecting to each other.

19. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 18, wherein the insulating shell has a sliding groove concavely in a lateral edge thereof.

20. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 18, wherein the two arms rotatably connect to two lateral edges of the insulating shell.

21. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 18, wherein the two side arms integrally connect to the insulating shell.

22. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 18, wherein each of the two side arms has a pivoted portion.

23. The transfer plug for a variety of sockets as claimed in claim 18, wherein each of the two side arms has a gliding groove.
