Abstract

See full text

A computer peripheral device is provided having a rotatable outer cover which is coupled to and selectively extends or retracts a connector of a printed circuit from a casing in which the printed circuit board is positioned when the outer cover is rotated. In one aspect, the cover includes a pin which extends through a groove formed in a seat coupled to an end of the circuit board. When the cover is rotated, the pin is urged against the groove to selectively extend or retract the connector from the casing. In another aspect, the cover includes a pin which extends into a groove formed in the printed circuit board. When the cover is rotated, the pin is urged against the groove to selectively extend or retract the connector from the casing. In another aspect, the cover is pivotally interconnected with the circuit board, and when the cover is rotated, the casing selectively translates with respect to the circuit board to expose or cover the connector.
