Abstract

A connecting member includes a cable configured for transmitting signals, a first resilient component located on a top surface of the cable, and a second resilient component located on a bottom surface of the cable, configured for being secured to the first resilient component. The cable includes a first connector and a second connector, that are configured to be electrically connected to two electronic components. The cable is sandwiched between the first resilient component and the second resilient component; and the first and second resilient components are elastically deformable between a first state, in which the first and second resilient components are contracted, and a second state, in which the first and second resilient components are elastically extended.

Claims (21)

1. A connecting member comprising:

a cable configured for transmitting signals, the cable comprising a first connector and a second connector configured to be electrically connected to two electronic components;

a first resilient component located on a top surface of the cable; and

a second resilient component located on a bottom surface of the cable, configured for being secured to the first resilient component; wherein

the cable is sandwiched between the first resilient component and the second resilient component; and the first and second resilient components are elastically deformable between a first state, in which the first and second resilient components are contracted, and a second state, in which the first and second resilient components are elastically extended.

2. The connecting member of claim 1 , wherein the cable further comprises a cable body, and the first and second connectors are electronically connected to the cable body.

3. The connecting member of claim 2 , wherein the width of the first resilient component or the second resilient component is less than, or equal to the width of the cable body.

4. The connecting member of claim 2 , wherein the cable body comprises a top surface and a bottom surface, the first resilient component is located on the top surface, and the second resilient component is located on the bottom surface.

5. The connecting member of claim 2 , wherein a securing hole is defined in the first resilient component, a positioning post is located on the second resilient component.

6. The connecting member of claim 5 , wherein a through hole is defined in the cable body, and the positioning post extends through the through hole and into the securing hole.

7. The connecting member of claim 1 , wherein the first and second resilient components are wave shaped in the first state.

8. The connecting member of claim 1 , wherein the first and second resilient components are two extendable elastic pieces.

9. A connecting member comprising:

a cable configured for transmitting signals, the cable comprising a cable body, the cable body comprising a top surface and a bottom surface;

a first resilient component located on the top surface, and a securing hole defined in the first resilient component; and

a second resilient component located on the bottom surface, and a positioning post located on the second resilient component, wherein the positioning post is inserted into the securing hole, and the cable is sandwiched between the first resilient component and the second resilient component.

10. The connecting member of claim 9 , wherein the first and second resilient components are wave shaped when are contracted.

11. The connecting member of claim 9 , wherein the width of the first resilient component or the second resilient component is less than, or equal to the width of the cable body.

12. The connecting member of claim 9 , wherein the first and second resilient components are two extendable elastic pieces.

13. The connecting member of claim 9 , wherein a through hole is defined in the cable body, and the positioning post extends through the through hole and into the securing hole.

14. The connecting member of claim 9 , wherein the cable further comprises a first connector and a second connector configured to be electrically connected to two electronic components, and the first and second connectors are electronically connected to two ends of the cable body.
