Abstract
Abstract An adapter socket structure and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The adapter socket structure can effectively prevent the external electromagnetic interference effect. The structure includes a signal-transmitting interface device for providing an interface between two networks; and a metal case tightly enveloping the signal-transmitting interface device for preventing the interference of the external noise and reducing the radiation leakage of the transmitted signal, the metal case comprising a first case member and a second case member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
An adapter socket structure, comprising: an adapter socket for providing an interface between two electrical apparatuses which includes: a molded receptacle comprising a molded receptacle body and a metal receptacle front case connected to said molded receptacle body; a set of terminals installed in said molded receptacle; and a circuit board electrically connected with said terminals; and a first metal case member and a second metal case member for enveloping said adapter socket, wherein each of said first metal case member and second metal case member is integrally formed by extruding so that there is no slit thereon for preventing an interference of an external noise and reducing a radiation leakage of a transmitted signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
An adapter socket structure, comprising: an adapter socket for providing an interface between two electrical apparatuses which includes: a molded receptacle comprising a molded receptacle body and a metal receptacle front case connected to said molded receptacle body; a set of terminals installed in said molded receptacle; and a circuit board electrically connected with said terminals; and a first metal case member and a second metal case member for enveloping said adapter socket, wherein each of said first metal case member and second metal case member is integrally formed by extruding so that there is no slit thereon for preventing an interference of an external noise and reducing a radiation leakage of a transmitted signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
An adapter socket structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein said first metal case member includes a slot for allowing an external cable to pass therethrough.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
An adapter socket structure as set forth in claim 2 wherein a metal net at one end of said external cable is exposed and surrounded by a metal ring for being tightly engaged in said slot.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
An adapter socket structure as set forth in claim 3 wherein said metal ring further comprises a hook member for being engaged with said adapter socket.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
An adapter socket structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein said second metal case member further comprises an opening for permitting said receptacle to extend therethrough.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
An adapter socket structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein each of said first metal case member and said second metal case member is an open cubic case.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
An adapter socket structure as set forth in claim 1 wherein each of said two electrical apparatuses is an electrical network.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
67 words
A method for forming an adapter socket structure comprising the steps of: (a) providing an adapter socket; (b) providing a communication cable; (c) passing said communication cable through said adapter socket; (d) providing a first metal case member and a second metal case member integrally formed by extruding; and (e) enveloping tightly said adapter socket with said first metal case member and said second metal case member.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
67 words
A method for forming an adapter socket structure comprising the steps of: (a) providing an adapter socket; (b) providing a communication cable; (c) passing said communication cable through said adapter socket; (d) providing a first metal case member and a second metal case member integrally formed by extruding; and (e) enveloping tightly said adapter socket with said first metal case member and said second metal case member.
