Abstract

A connecting structure connecting a first device and a second device rigidly but readily demountably comprises a housing having a top cover and a bottom cover to form an internal space. A connector which has an engagement block, a sliding block, and an insert block engages with the second device. A push button having a knob movably mounted on the housing, a sprung hooking structure having a guiding slot engaging with the sliding block, and a hook engaging with the second device provide demountable. The push button resists the engagement block via a through hole of the top cover, the connecting structure being combined with the connector to link with the hooking structure.

Claims (15)

1. A connecting structure connected between a first device and a second device, comprising:

a housing having a top cover and a bottom cover, wherein the top cover and the bottom cover forms an internal space;

a connector having an engaging block, a sliding block and an insert block engaged with the second device;

a push button having a knob movably mounted on the housing;

a hooking structure having a guiding slot engaged with the sliding block and a hook engaged with the second device; and

an elastic element bringing the hooking structure to an original position,

wherein the push button resists the engaging block via a through hole of the top cover.

2. The connecting structure of claim 1 , wherein the top cover of the housing is integrally formed with the first device.

3. The connecting structure of claim 1 , wherein the internal space comprises a sliding groove, a guiding groove and a receiving groove, the connecting structure further comprises a camera in the internal space, the connector is received in the receiving groove and is slideable along with the sliding groove, the hooking structure is slideable along with the guiding groove, and the camera is slideable in the receiving groove.

4. The connecting structure of claim 3 , wherein the top cover defines a first opening, the connector has a resisting portion with a first slope, the camera has a second slope, wherein the first slope of the resisting portion and the second slope of the camera is pushed with each other, and the camera is moved along with the receiving groove and passed through the first opening with part of the camera protruding out from the housing.

5. The connecting structure of claim 1 , wherein the first device is connected to the sidewall of the housing having a post.

6. The connecting structure of claim 5 , wherein the elastic element is placed over the post, the elastic element resists the connector.

7. The connecting structure of claim 1 , wherein the push button has a fixed portion attached to the housing.

8. The connecting structure of claim 1 , wherein the hooking structure comprises a first hooking structure portion having a first hook and a second hooking structure portion having a second hook, the first hooking structure portion and the second hooking structure portion is disposed on two sides of the hooking structure.

9. The connecting structure of claim 8 , wherein the second device has a latching slot to receive the hook and an insert aperture to receive the insert block, wherein the first hook, the second hook and the insert block of the connector is securely connected with the second device.
