DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0036] The aforementioned illustrations and following detailed descriptions are exemplary for the purpose of further explaiiñng the scope of the present invention. Other objectives and advantages related to the present invention will be illustrated in the subsequent descriptions and appended drawings.

First Embodiment [0037] RefelTing to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, the present disclosure provides an assembled connecting device with a protective sleeve including a first connector 1 and a protective sleeve 2. The type and structure of the first connector 1 is not limited. The first connector 1 can be an USB connector, an 1EEE1394 connector, an HDMI connector, a display port connector, an Ri connector, an A\T terminal, a DC terminal, an iphone connectoi; or other types of connectors. The first connector 1 can be electrically connected to a cable 4 or other devices. The cable 4 can be flat, round, or a shape not limited herein.

The structure of connector 1 is conventional knowledge and therefore is not further described here.

[0038] The protective sleeve 2 can be made of plastic, metal or a matenal not limited herein. The protective sleeve 2 has a hollow sheath 21. The protective sleeve 2 can be movably coupled to the first connector 1. The sheath 21 of the protective sleeve 2 selectively sleeves the first connector I. Namely, the sheath 21 of the protective sleeve 2 can be selected to sleeve at least a partial region of the first connector 1 (such as a plugging portion 11). The sheath 21 of the protective sleeve 2 can also be selected to not sleeve the first connector 1.

[0039] The shape and structure of the protective sleeve 2 are not limited, mid can be modified according to the shape and structure of the first connector 1. In the present embodiment, the sheath 21 roughly forms a rectangular-prism for receiving the plugging portion II of the first connector I. The dimensions of the sheath 21 are bigger than the dimensions of the plugging portion 11.

Namely, the height, width and length of the sheath 21 are respectively bigger than the height, width and length of the plugging portion 11, such that the plugging portion 11 can be selectively accommodated within the sheath 21, and an appropriate gap is formed between the plugging portion II and the sheath 21.

[0040] In the present embodiment, the protective sleeve 2 has two link arms 22 extending from two sides of the sheath 2! The link arms 22 can be fixedly or pivotally connected to the sheath 21. The two link arms 22 and the sheath 21 of the present embodiment are a single integrated body Pivot parts 23 are formed respectively on the interior sides of the link arms 22. The pivot part 23 can be a pivot structure, etc. Corresponding sliding grooves 12 are disposed on two sides of the first connector I. The pivot parts 23 of the protective sleeve 2 and the sliding grooves 12 of the first connector 1 slidably work in concert such that the protective sleeve 2 can be movably coupled to the first connector 1. The first connector I can move and rotate in different directions between the two link arms 22 by the sliding of the pivot parts 23 of the protective sleeve 2 within the sliding grooves 12 of the first connector 1.

[0041] As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 13, the pivot pails 23 of the protective sleeve 2 can slide to the rear end of the sliding grooves 12 of the first connector 1, cause the sheath 21 of the protective sleeve 2 to sleeve the plugging portion 11 of the first plug 1, and protect the first connector 1 by shielding its two sides with the link arms 22 of the protective sleeve 2. The pivot parts 23 of the protective sleeve 2 can also slide to the front end of the sliding groove 12 of the first connector 1 (as shown in Fig. 14), and then turn the protective sleeve 2 in a different direction such that the plugging portion 11 of the first connector 1 is exposed available for plugging into docking connectors.

[0042] As shown in Fig. ito Fig. 3, the connecting device of the present disclosure can further include an adapter 3, which has a second connector 31 and a third connector 32 electrically connected to each other by a circuit board 33 or other suitable conducting elements. The type and structure of the second connector 31 and the third connector 32 are not limited, and can be an USB connector, an 1FEE1394 connector, an IIDMI connector, a display port connector, an RJ connector, an AV terminal, a DC terminal, an iphone connector, or other types of connectors. The second connector 3 1 and the first connector 1 are corresponding electrical connectors. An outer case 34 can cover the second connector 3 1 and the third connector 32.

[0043] The second connector 32 and the first connector 1 are selectively mated to achieve electrical connection. When the second connector 31 and the first connector 1 are plugged to each othei; the adapter 3 can be electrically connected to the first connector 1 such that the first connector 1 can be connected to a dock connector through the third connector 32 of the adapter 3.

As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 13, the pivot parts 23 of the protective sleeve 2 can slide to the rear ends of the sliding grooves 12 of the first connector 1, such that the third connector 32 is exposed from the sheath 21 of the protective sleeve 2, for plugging into a dock connector. The pivot parts 23 of the protective sleeve 2 can also slide to the front ends of the sliding grooves 12 of the first connector 1 (not shown in the figure), such that the third connector 32 is housed within the sheath 21 of the protective sleeve 2 for protecting the third connector 32.

[0044] Pressing parts 24 which are flexible in a vertical direction can be disposed on the top and bottom portions of the sheath 21 of the protective sleeve 2. In the present embodiment, the perimeters of the pressing parts 24 each form a U shaped indentation 241, such that the pressing parts 24 can form

S

a sheet body which are flexible in a vertical direction. An uneven anti-slipping surface 25 is disposed on the outer side of each of the pressing parts 24. When the user wants to separate the adapter 3 from the first connector 1, lie can press his fingers on the two pressing parts 24 on the sheath 21. The interior sides of the two pressing parts 24 abut the top and bottom of the adapter 3, such that the two pressing parts 24 grip the connector 3 so that the protective sleeve 2 and the adapter 3 can move in concert. In this manner the protective sleeve 2 and the adapter 3 can be moved further away from the first connector 1, such that the second connector 3 1 of the adapter 3 separates from the first connector 1 (as shown in Fig. 14).

[0045] The interior sides of the two pressing parts 24 selectively abut the top and bottom of the adapter 3. Engagement structures 27 and 35 can also be disposed between the interior sides of the two pressing parts 24 and the top and bottom of connector 3, such that when the pressing parts 24 are being pressed, the engagement structures 27 and 35 can mutually engage so that the interior sides of the pressing parts 24 can abut the top and bottom of the adapter 3 more securely.
