Abstract

A connecting member includes a cable configured to transfer signal, two securing members, and a resilient component. The two securing members secure the resilient component to the cable, the resilient component is elastically deformable between a first state, in which the resilient component and the cable are contracted, and a second state, in which the resilient component and the cable are extended.

Claims (14)

1. A connecting member comprising:

a cable configured to transfer signal;

two securing members extending from two ends of the cable, each of the two securing members being strip-shaped; and

an resilient component, two ends of the resilient component are adapted to be clipped to the two securing members to engage the resilient component to the cable; wherein the resilient component is elastically deformable between a first state, in which the resilient component and the cable are contracted, and a second state, in which the resilient component and the cable are extended.

2. The connecting member of claim 1 , wherein the cable comprises a ribbon strip and two connectors configured to be electronically connected to two electronic components, and the two connectors are electronically connected to the ribbon strip.

3. The connecting member of claim 2 , wherein the two connectors are connected to two ends of the ribbon strip.

4. The connecting member of claim 2 , wherein the two securing members are secured to the two connectors.

5. The connecting member of claim 2 , wherein the two securing members are secured to the ribbon strip.

6. The connecting member of claim 1 , wherein the length of the resilient component in the first state is shorter than a length of the cable.

7. The connecting member of claim 1 , wherein the resilient component is an extendable coil spring, and the cable is substantially received in the extendable coil spring.

8. A connecting member comprising:

a cable configured to transfer signal, the cable comprising a ribbon strip and two connectors configured to be electronically connected to two electronic components;

a resilient component adapted to be secured to the cable at two ends of the resilient component and adjacent to the two electronic components, wherein the resilient component is an extendable coil spring, and the ribbon strip is substantially received in the resilient component; and

two securing members, wherein the two ends of the resilient component are adapted to be clipped to the two securing members to engage the resilient component to the cable, and each of the two securing members is strip-shaped.
