Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 151 words
An electronic device, having a USB interface capable of extraction proof, plugged in a USB connector arranged to an electronic product and having at least one groove, and including: a main body, to one side of which a USB metallic plug is connected, and on a face of which at least one fastening component is arranged; a tool for passing through the main body and engaging the fastening component, wherein the main body is a transmission line, a USB flash drive, a 3.5″ hard disk, a wireless transceiver module, a wireless bridge or a wireless network bridge, and wherein an interior of the USB metallic plug is hollow and arranged a tongue, on which a plurality of conductive legs are arranged, and one side of each of which is extended into an interior of the main body to be electrically connected to a circuit or a wire in the main body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 151 words
An electronic device, having a USB interface capable of extraction proof, plugged in a USB connector arranged to an electronic product and having at least one groove, and including: a main body, to one side of which a USB metallic plug is connected, and on a face of which at least one fastening component is arranged; a tool for passing through the main body and engaging the fastening component, wherein the main body is a transmission line, a USB flash drive, a 3.5″ hard disk, a wireless transceiver module, a wireless bridge or a wireless network bridge, and wherein an interior of the USB metallic plug is hollow and arranged a tongue, on which a plurality of conductive legs are arranged, and one side of each of which is extended into an interior of the main body to be electrically connected to a circuit or a wire in the main body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 33 words
The electronic device having the USB interface according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening component has two elastic bodies, and at each side of each of which a barb part is arranged.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 203 words
An electronic device, having a USB interface capable of extraction proof, plugged in a USB connector arranged to an electronic product and having at least one groove, and including: a main body, on which a hole is arranged, and to one side of which a USB metallic plug is connected, on a face of which is at least one fastening component is arranged, which is adapted for being fastened in a groove; a tool for insertion through the main body, wherein the tool provides a means for releasing the fastening state between the fastening component and the groove when the tool is inserted through the main body and extends out of the main body and is abutted against the fastening component, wherein the main body is a transmission line, a USB flash drive, a 3.5″ hard disk, a wireless transceiver module, a wireless bridge or a wireless network bridge, and wherein an interior of the USB metallic plug is hollow and arranged a tongue, on which a plurality of conductive legs are arranged, and one side of each of which is extended into an interior of the main body to be electrically connected to a circuit or a wire in the main body.
