En conséquence, pendant le transfert de l'ordinateur, la carte d'extension ne peut, ni prendre du jeu, ni se détacher du connecteur,  in which the connector is formed with hook strap hook bodies. When an expansion card is inserted into the expandable slot of the connector, a tether strap can be wrapped around the expansion card and fixed at the hook bodies so as to firmly attach the expansion card with the connector. Consequently, during the transfer from the computer, the expansion card can neither take up play nor detach from the connector,

Ceci conduit à une panne de l'ordinateur, même juste lorsqu'il est activé. Une telle situation gêne souvent les fabricants et les clients. C'est en conséquence un but principal de la présente invention de procurer une structure de connecteur améliorée de la plaque de circuit principal  chage (or AGP card), window acceleration card, etc. During the transfer of the computer, it often happens that the expansion card C takes play in the connector B. This leads to a computer crash, even just when it is activated. This often annoys manufacturers and customers. It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved connector structure of the main circuit board

On se réfère maintenant aux figures i et 2. Les bornes 21 disposées sur le fond du connecteur 2 de la présente invention sont insérées sur la plaque de circuit principal i de l'ordinateur. Divers types de cartes d'extension 3, telles qu'une carte de Web, une carte d'affichage AGP, une carte d'accélération de fenêtre, etc., peuvent être introduits dans le logement expansible 22 de l'extrémité supérieure du connecteur 2. Chaque côté de l'extrémité supérieure du connecteur 2 est équipé d'un corps de crochet de sangle d'attache en forme de L inversé 23. Lorsque la carte d'extension 3 est insérée dans le logement expansible 22 du connecteur 2 (comme on le voit sur la figure 2), la sangle d'attache 4 peut être enroulée autour de la carte d'extension 3 en faisant une boucle et attachée au corps de crochet 23 de façon à attacher fermement la carte d'extension 3 sur le connecteur 2. La sangle d'attache 4 est un produit conventionnel souvent utilisé pour attacher des fils électriques d'un appareil électrique. Une extrémité de la sangle d'attache 4 est formée comme une barre rectiligne avec des dents 41, tandis que son autre extrémité est formée avec un siège de coopération rectangulaire ayant un trou de coopération 42. La barre rectiligne peut être introduite dans le trou de coopération 42 avec les  Referring now to Figures i and 2. The terminals 21 disposed on the bottom of the connector 2 of the present invention are inserted on the main circuit board i of the computer. Various types of expansion cards 3, such as a web card, AGP display card, window acceleration card, etc., can be inserted into the expandable housing 22 of the upper end of the connector 2. Each side of the upper end of connector 2 is fitted with an inverted L-shaped strap strap hook body 23. When the expansion card 3 is inserted in the expandable housing 22 of connector 2 ( as seen in Figure 2), the tether strap 4 can be wrapped around the expansion card 3 by making a loop and attached to the hook body 23 so as to firmly attach the expansion card 3 to connector 2. The tether strap 4 is a conventional product often used to attach electrical wires to an electrical appliance. One end of the fastening strap 4 is formed as a straight bar with teeth 41, while its other end is formed with a rectangular cooperation seat having a cooperation hole 42. The straight bar can be introduced into the cooperation 42 with

dents 41 coopérant avec le siège de coopération.  teeth 41 cooperating with the cooperation seat.

Lorsque la carte d'extension 3 est insérée sur  When the expansion card 3 is inserted on

le connecteur 2, la sangle d'attache 5 peut être utili-  connector 2, tether strap 5 can be used

sée pour attacher une extrémité ou les deux extrémités  tied to attach one or both ends

de la carte d'extension 3, selon la nécessité.  expansion card 3, as required.

Selon la disposition ci-dessus, au moyen des corps de crochet disposés au niveau des deux extrémités du connecteur, lorsque la carte d'extension est insérée sur le connecteur, la sangle d'attache est enroulée autour de la carte d'extension et fixée au niveau des corps de crochet de façon à attacher fermement la carte d'extension avec le connecteur. En conséquence, pendant le transfert de l'ordinateur, la carte d'extension ne peut, ni prendre du jeu, ni se détacher du connecteur,  According to the above arrangement, by means of the hook bodies arranged at the two ends of the connector, when the expansion card is inserted on the connector, the tether strap is wrapped around the expansion card and fixed at the hook bodies so as to firmly attach the expansion card with the connector. Consequently, during the transfer from the computer, the expansion card can neither take up play nor detach from the connector,
