RECEPTACLE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045481 titled 'RECEPTACLE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a housing that has an external device connector hole and a receptacle that is connected to the housing at the connector hole. The receptacle is openable and closeable and includes a first metal member with an exposed electrical connection part. There is also a door cover that faces the first metal member and is rotatably coupled to the housing at the connector hole.

  • The receptacle can be opened or closed by rotating the door cover.
  • When the receptacle is open, the door cover is rotated away from the first metal member and the connection part is connectable to an external device plug.
  • When the receptacle is closed, the door cover is rotated toward the first metal member and the connection part is unconnectable to the external device plug.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electronic devices with external connectors that need protection from dust, moisture, or physical damage.
  • Devices that require secure and reliable connections to external devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Protects the electrical connection part from external elements when not in use.
  • Provides a convenient and efficient way to open and close the receptacle.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced durability and longevity of the electrical connection.
  • Improved protection against environmental factors.
  • Easy and user-friendly operation.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device includes a housing which defines an external device connector hole, and a receptacle connected to the housing at the external device connector hole and openable and closeable. the receptacle includes a first metal member including an electrical connection part exposed to outside the first metal member in a direction away from the external device connector hole, and a door cover which faces the first metal member, is rotatably coupled to the housing at the external device connector hole, and rotatable relative to the first metal member. the receptacle which is open includes the door cover rotated away from the first metal member and the connection part connectable to an external device plug, and the receptacle which is closed includes the door cover rotated toward the first metal member and the connection part unconnectable to the external device plug.
