Abstract

A composite elastic wiring device includes a shell, an operating assembly and a connecting terminal disposed in the shell. The shell is formed with a wire hole. The operating assembly includes an operating member, a first elastic sheet and at least one second elastic sheet. One end of the operating member has a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion, another end of the operating member is disposed with a triggering portion outside the shell. The first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet are stacked. The first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet have a first pressing end and a second pressing end, respectively. The first and second pressing ends blocking the wire hole in order. A wire in the wire hole is pressed by the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet.

Claims (14)

1. A composite elastic wiring device comprising:

a shell, comprising a hollow portion defined inside and a wire hole communicating with outside from the hollow portion:

an operating assembly, disposed in the hollow portion, comprising an operating member, a first elastic sheet and at least one second elastic sheet, the operating member comprising a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion disposed on one end thereof and a triggering portion disposed on another end thereof outside the shell, the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet stacked with each other, the first elastic sheet comprising a first pressing end, the second elastic sheet comprising a second pressing end, and the first pressing end and the second pressing end blocking the wire hole in order; and

a connecting terminal, disposed in the hollow portion adjacent to the wire hole, and comprising multiple pins disposed protrusively from the shell;

wherein the first abutting portion is disposed pivotally in the hollow portion, the first abutting portion comprising a first abutting face, the second abutting portion is disposed on the first abutting portion and comprises at least one second abutting face disposed protrusively on the first abutting face, the first abutting face is located adjacent to the first pressing end corresponding to the first elastic sheet, and the second abutting face is located adjacent to the second pressing end corresponding to the second elastic sheet.

2. The composite elastic wiring device of claim 1 , wherein the first abutting portion comprises a pivoting portion disposed pivotally on an inner wall of the hollow portion of the shell.

3. The composite elastic wiring device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion comprises a cam structure.

4. The composite elastic wiring device of claim 1 , wherein the first abutting portion comprises an engaging trough disposed concavely, and an engaging block is disposed in the shell corresponding to the engaging trough.

5. The composite elastic wiring device of claim 1 , wherein the first elastic sheet comprises a first elastic section and a first fixed end disposed on one end of the first elastic section, the first pressing end is disposed on another end of the first elastic section, the second elastic sheet comprises a second elastic section and a second fixed end disposed on one end of the second elastic section, and the second pressing end is disposed on another end of the second elastic section.

6. The composite elastic wiring device of claim 5 , wherein the connecting terminal comprises a positioning portion for the first fixed end and the second fixed end to be positioned.

7. The composite elastic wiring device of claim 6 , wherein the first elastic section and the second elastic section comprises an arcuate portion respectively, the shell comprises a protruding bar disposed on an inner wall of the hollow portion thereof, and the first elastic section and the second elastic section surrounds the protruding bar through the arcuate portion.

8. The composite elastic wiring device of claim 5 , wherein the first elastic section and the second elastic section comprises an arcuate portion respectively, the shell comprises a protruding bar disposed on an inner wall of the hollow portion thereof, and the first elastic section and the second elastic section surrounds the protruding bar through the arcuate portion.

9. The composite elastic wiring device of claim 1 , wherein the connecting terminal comprises a terminal body disposed vertically and a wire carrying portion bent from the terminal body, the terminal body abuts against a side of the hollow portion of the shell, and the wire carrying portion is located corresponding to a side of the wire hole of the shell.

10. The composite elastic wiring device of claim 9 , wherein the wire carrying portion comprises a bump structure disposed protrusively.
