Abstract

Abstract An improved structure of a network wire tester is disclosed. The improved structure of a network wire tester includes a primary device and a secondary device installed with respective network receptacles. The bottom of the primary device is left with a concave container, Two sides of the container are installed with respect long holes and buckle grooves. The two sides of the secondary device are formed with suspending elastic pressing buckles. Each of the elastic pressing buckle is installed with a hook and a protruded pressing key so that the primary device and the secondary device can be assembled to the two ends of a network wire to be tested so to detect the transmission quality. When they are not used, the secondary device is pushed into the container of the primary device to be hidden therein by the elastic pressing buckles to buckle the buckle grooves. Thus, the primary device and the secondary device are combined together and the space is used efficiently. Thus it can be carried and stored conveniently and has a complete and beautiful outlook. It is only needs to press the pressing keys on the two sides, the secondary device and the primary device may be easily pulled out by the user.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 184 words
A cable tester assembly comprising: (a) a primary device including a longitudinally extended first case and a first circuit board and first network receptacle housed therein, said first case having a longitudinal end section, said first case having formed at said longitudinal end section a wall portion defining a compartment and an opening communicating therewith, said wall portion having a pair of laterally opposed surfaces, each said surface having formed therein a buckle groove recess; and, (b) a secondary device detachably coupled to said primary device, said secondary device including a second case and a second circuit board and second network receptacle housed therein, said second case being substantially fully received in releasable manner within said compartment of said first case, said secondary device having an outer wall portion, said outer wall portion having respectively formed at opposed sides thereof a pair of resilient buckle members, each said buckle member having an outwardly biased hook section for engaging one said buckle groove recess of said primary device; whereby said secondary device may be retained substantially fully within said primary device in releasably locked manner.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 184 words
A cable tester assembly comprising: (a) a primary device including a longitudinally extended first case and a first circuit board and first network receptacle housed therein, said first case having a longitudinal end section, said first case having formed at said longitudinal end section a wall portion defining a compartment and an opening communicating therewith, said wall portion having a pair of laterally opposed surfaces, each said surface having formed therein a buckle groove recess; and, (b) a secondary device detachably coupled to said primary device, said secondary device including a second case and a second circuit board and second network receptacle housed therein, said second case being substantially fully received in releasable manner within said compartment of said first case, said secondary device having an outer wall portion, said outer wall portion having respectively formed at opposed sides thereof a pair of resilient buckle members, each said buckle member having an outwardly biased hook section for engaging one said buckle groove recess of said primary device; whereby said secondary device may be retained substantially fully within said primary device in releasably locked manner.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 47 words
The cable tester assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said wall portion of said primary device has formed in each said laterally opposed surface thereof a slot, said slot extending longitudinally from said opening and being longitudinally offset from at least one said buckle groove recess.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 59 words
The cable tester assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein each said buckle member of said secondary device includes a pressing key section offset from said hook section, said pressing key section slidably engaging one said slot of said primary device, said pressing key section protruding through said slot when said secondary device is retained within said primary device.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
The cable tester assembly as recited in claim 3 wherein said hook section is disposed at a terminal end of said buckle member, each said buckle member thereby having substantially a leaf spring configuration.
