Abstract
Abstract A protection structure of an IEEE1394 connector is disclosed. The protection structure for use in the IEEE1394 connector comprises a locking structure mounted on a first IEEE1394 connector. The locking structure is capable of hooking an opening formed on a second IEEE1394 connector that cooperates with the first IEEE1394 connector for enhancing the connection stability between the first and second connectors. In addition, a lock is mounted on the locking structure to provide the anti-theft IEEE1394 connector.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A protection structure for use in a first IEEE1394 connector, comprising: a locking structure mounted on the first IEEE1394 connector, the locking structure being capable of hooking an opening formed on a second IEEE1394 connector that cooperates with the first IEEE1394 connector for enhancing the connection stability between the first and second connectors, wherein the first IEEE1394 connector is a male IEEE1394 connector on which a through hole and a trench is formed for mounting the locking structure, and the locking structure comprises: a button; a sheet connected to the bottom of the button; an upwardly extended hooking part mounted at a front end of the sheet; a pair of pivots mounted on both rear sides of the sheet; and a pair of springs penetrated by the pivots, the protection structure further comprising a lock mounted on the locking structure to decide whether the button is pressable or unpressable.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A protection structure for use in a first IEEE1394 connector, comprising: a locking structure mounted on the first IEEE1394 connector, the locking structure being capable of hooking an opening formed on a second IEEE1394 connector that cooperates with the first IEEE1394 connector for enhancing the connection stability between the first and second connectors, wherein the first IEEE1394 connector is a male IEEE1394 connector on which a through hole and a trench is formed for mounting the locking structure, and the locking structure comprises: a button; a sheet connected to the bottom of the button; an upwardly extended hooking part mounted at a front end of the sheet; a pair of pivots mounted on both rear sides of the sheet; and a pair of springs penetrated by the pivots, the protection structure further comprising a lock mounted on the locking structure to decide whether the button is pressable or unpressable.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
