Abstract
Abstract A structure for the connection between a hub and its transceivers for installing a transceiver in a connection port of the hub is provided. The connection structure includes a fastener installed in a transceiver, a stopper installed in the hub for coupling with the fastener, and a releaser for separating the fastener and stopper. There is a button-style releaser with an applied end that reaches the front of the hub for separating the transceiver from the hub when the applied end is pressed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A structure for the connection between a hub and a transceiver, comprising: a stopper installed inside a connection port of the hub; a fastener installed in the transceiver for engaging with the stopper after the transceiver is inserted into the connection port; and a releaser installed out of the transceiver, slidable between the assembling position and the disassembling position, and including an applied end the releaser having a pair of flexible wings for keeping the releaser in the assembling position in the normal state; when an external force is applied on the applied end, said flexible wings be flexed so that the transceiver will be disassembled from the hub.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
A structure for the connection between a hub and a transceiver, comprising: a stopper installed inside a connection port of the hub; a fastener installed in the transceiver for engaging with the stopper after the transceiver is inserted into the connection port; and a releaser installed out of the transceiver, slidable between the assembling position and the disassembling position, and including an applied end the releaser having a pair of flexible wings for keeping the releaser in the assembling position in the normal state; when an external force is applied on the applied end, said flexible wings be flexed so that the transceiver will be disassembled from the hub.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The structure of claim 1 , wherein the stopper has a end fixed in the hub and the other free end flexible and extending obliquely.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
The structure of claim 1 , wherein the ends of the pair of wings extend obliquely along a direction opposite to the insertion direction of the transceiver into the connection port to be coupled with notches on a surface of the transceiver so that the releaser is kept in the assembling position in the normal state.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The structure of claim 1 , wherein the releaser has an oblique surface facing the stopper for detaching the free end of the stopper from the fastener.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
The structure of claim 1 , wherein the stopper is a metallic spring with one end fixed in the hub and the other end is movable.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
35 words
The structure of claim 1 , wherein the fastener has an oblique surface on a side facing the stopper, and the oblique surface slides beneath the stopper when the fastener is inserted into the hub.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
The structure of claim 1 , wherein the releaser is inserted into a groove provided on the surface of the transceiver.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words
The structure of claim 8 , wherein the groove has a cover.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
97 words
A structure for the connection between a hub and a transceiver, comprising: a stopper installed inside the connection port of the hub; a fastener having an elongated body inserted into the transceiver transversely to the longitudinal direction of the transceiver and a spring for raising the elongated body after the transceiver is inserted into the connection port; and a releaser installed out of the transceiver, slidable between the assembling position and the disassembling position, and including an applied end; when an external force is applied on the applied end, the transceiver will be disassembled from the hub.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
97 words
