Abstract

A quick release connecting device includes an actuating retainer and a fixing member movably assembled to the actuating retainer. The fixing member includes a pivot portion and a pivot member movably mounted to the pivot portion; and the pivot member is coupled with a second object. The fixing member includes a limiting section and the pivot member includes a corresponding limiting section, such that the limiting section and the corresponding limiting section limit or stop each other at a specific location when the fixing member is moved or rotated. With these arrangements, the quick release connecting device can be applied to conveniently and repeatedly connect and separate a circuit board, a drawer, or a window to and from a corresponding rack, chassis, cabinet or window frame.

Claims (11)

1. A quick release connecting device, comprising an elastic member, an actuating retainer and a fixing member movably assembled to the actuating retainer; the fixing member including a pivot portion and a pivot member movably mounted to the pivot portion; and the pivot member being coupled with a second object; wherein the elastic member being disposed between the fixing member and the second object, an elastic force being perpendicular to the fixing member and the second object.

2. The quick release connecting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixing member includes a limiting section and the pivot member includes a corresponding limiting section; and the limiting section and the corresponding limiting section limiting or stopping each other at a specific location when the fixing member is moved or rotated.

3. The quick release connecting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the pivot member and the pivot portion includes a shaft; the shaft being differently connectable to the pivot member or the pivot portion in one of the following manners, including being movably assembled to, integrally formed with, and fixedly assembled to the pivot member or the pivot portion; and the pivot member, the pivot portion or the fixing member being connected to the shaft via a second pin connection means in the case the shaft is assembled to the pivot member or the pivot portion.

4. The quick release connecting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixing member, the pivot portion or the pivot member has an elastic element fitted thereon; two ends of the elastic element being separately pressed against the pivot member and the fixing member of the quick release connecting device or separately pressed against the fixing member of the quick release connecting device and the second object, such that the fixing member under a spring force of the elastic element is either automatically sprung back to its original position or limited to a fixed position.

5. The quick release connecting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixing member includes a limiting section and the second object includes a corresponding limiting section; and the limiting section and the corresponding limiting section limiting or stopping each other at a specific location when the fixing member is moved or rotated.

6. The quick release connecting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pivot member has a weldable surface, which can be heated and welded to the second object.

7. The quick release connecting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pivot member has a portion that is deformable under an external force applied thereto, so that the deformed portion of the pivot member is abutted on or interfered with the second object.

8. A quick release connecting device, comprising an actuating retainer and a fixing member movably assembled to the actuating retainer; the fixing member including a pivot portion and a pivot member movably mounted to the pivot portion; and the pivot member being coupled with a second object; wherein the pivot member having a directional section for engaging with a corresponding directional section of the second object to limit the pivot member to specific directions or to restrict the pivot member from rotating or moving; wherein the pivot member including a coupling section for screwing onto the second object.

9. A quick release connecting device, comprising an actuating retainer and a fixing member movably assembled to the actuating retainer; the fixing member including a pivot portion and a pivot member movably mounted to the pivot portion; and the pivot member being coupled with a second object; one of the pivot portion and the pivot member including a shaft, and the shaft being differently connectable to the pivot member or the pivot portion in one of the following manners, including being movably assembled to, integrally formed with, and fixedly assembled to the pivot member or the pivot portion; wherein the pivot member, the pivot portion or the fixing member is connected to the shaft via a second pin connection means in the case the shaft is assembled to the pivot member or the pivot portion.

10. A quick release connecting device, comprising an elastic member, an actuating retainer and a fixing member movably assembled to the actuating retainer; the fixing member including a pivot portion and a pivot member movably mounted to the pivot portion; and the pivot member being coupled with a second object; one of the pivot portion and the pivot member including a shaft, and the shaft being differently connectable to the pivot member or the pivot portion in one of the following manners, including being movably assembled to, integrally formed with, and fixedly assembled to the pivot member or the pivot portion; wherein the elastic member being disposed between the fixing member and the second object, an elastic force being perpendicular to the fixing member and the second object.

11. A quick release connecting device, comprising an elastic member, an actuating retainer and a fixing member movably assembled to the actuating retainer; the fixing member including a pivot portion and a pivot member movably mounted to the pivot portion; and the pivot member being coupled with a second object; one of the pivot portion and the pivot member including a shaft, and the shaft being differently connectable to the pivot member or the pivot portion in one of the following manners, including being movably assembled to, integrally formed with, and fixedly assembled to the pivot member or the pivot portion; wherein the pivot member having a directional section for engaging with a corresponding directional section of the second object to limit the pivot member to specific directions or to restrict the pivot member from rotating or moving; wherein the pivot member including a coupling section for screwing onto the second object.
