One-Touch Release Apparatus

Abstract

An apparatus controlled by one touch operation for releasing and propping components is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base, a prop device with a resilient piece and an ejecting pin, a reciprocating device located between the base and the prop device, and a stabilizing device fixed on the base. The reciprocating device includes a reciprocating piece and a reciprocating base fixed on the reciprocating piece. The stabilizing device includes a stabilizing base and a movable latch connected to the prop device for limiting the ejecting pin of the prop device.

1 . A release apparatus controlled by one touch operation, comprising:
 a base;   a prop device having a resilient member located between said base and an ejecting pin;   a reciprocating device located between said base and said prop device and having a reciprocating piece and a reciprocating base fixed on said reciprocating piece; and   a stabilizing device fixed on said base and having a stabilizing base and a movable piece for limiting said ejecting pin of said prop device.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base comprises a plurality of protruding pillars having different lengths and a plurality of protruding lumps for limiting said reciprocating device to be moved in a moving track. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said movable piece is a movable latch and said ejecting pin has a holder for limiting said movable latch. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said movable latch further comprises a latch end connected to said ejecting pin, and a stabilizing end located between said roller and a latch spring inside said stabilizing base. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 4  further comprising at least a reciprocating spring connected to said reciprocating piece, a roller located on a pair of inclined roller tracks on said stabilizing base, and a key for bearing said one touch operation. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said key is moved by said one touch operation for producing a first key displacement and a second key displacement respectively so as to move said reciprocating base and produce a first reciprocating base displacement and a second reciprocating base displacement at the same direction correspondingly. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said reciprocating base further comprises two symmetrical portions, and each of said two symmetrical portions has a track, a roller notch, a first incline located between said roller notch and a first reciprocating plane thereof, and a second incline connected to a second reciprocating plane thereof. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said ejecting pin is moved along said second incline to said second reciprocating plane during said second reciprocating base displacement. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said roller notch comprises a first stopping plane, a second stopping plane, and a holding plane. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said roller is pushed by said first stopping plane so as to be moved in said roller track and produce a roller displacement during said first reciprocating base displacement. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein said movable latch is moved by said roller during said roller displacement so as to produce a first latch displacement simultaneously. 
   
   
       12 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said resilient member is an ejecting spring and said ejecting pin is pushed up by said ejecting spring after said first latch displacement. 
   
   
       13 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said stabilizing base further comprises a beam with a hole and said hole is passed through by said ejecting pin. 
   
   
       14 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said stabilizing base further comprises a rigid cover for limiting a moving scope of said movable piece. 
   
   
       15 . A port replicator controlled by one touch operation for releasing and ejecting a notebook PC, comprising:
 a base having a plurality of prop devices, wherein each of said plurality of prop devices has a holder and is connected to said base via a spring;   a plurality of conducting terminals located on said base respectively;   a reciprocating device being located between said base and said plurality of prop devices and comprising a plurality of reciprocating bases, wherein each of said plurality of reciprocating bases has at least a reciprocating piece;   a plurality of stabilizing devices fixed on said base, wherein each of said plurality of stabilizing devices respectively comprises a movable piece for limiting said holder; and   a removable cover combined on said base corresponding to positions of said plurality of prop devices and said plurality of electrical contactors for carrying thereon said notebook PC.   
   
   
       16 . The port replicator as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein said movable piece is a movable latch with a latch end and a stabilizing end. 
   
   
       17 . The port replicator as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein said latch end and said holder are engaged with each other. 
   
   
       18 . The port replicator as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein said reciprocating piece supports said ejecting pin while said ejecting pin being on said reciprocating plane. 
   
   
       19 . The port replicator as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein said movable piece is a stair-shaped latch.
