Abstract

A device for establishing a connection with an electronic device comprises a connection device, a lever and a pedestal having a face comprises a latch having a degree of rotation with the pedestal. The connection device has one degree of rotation according to a first axis parallel to the face of the pedestal, and comprises the electronic connector and a concave relief. The lever is linked to the pedestal by a linkage comprising at least one degree of rotation according to a second axis parallel to the first axis of rotation. The lever comprises a convex relief corresponding to the concave relief of the connection device, and an elastic component adapted to maintain a contact between the lever and the pedestal. The lever is configured to enter in contact with the connection device after a rotation of the connection device enabled by the rotation of the latch.

Claims (16)

1. A device for establishing a connection with an electronic device, comprising:

a pedestal comprising a carrier module, a flat surface at an upper end, and a latch at a lower end of the pedestal having a degree of rotation with the pedestal;

a connection device having one degree of rotation according to a first axis parallel to the flat surface of the pedestal, and comprising an electronic connector at one end and a concave relief at the other end;

a lever linked to other lower end of the pedestal by a linkage comprising at least one degree of rotation according to a second axis parallel to the first axis of rotation, and comprising:

a convex relief matching the concave relief of the connection device; and

an elastic component adapted to maintain a contact between the lever and the pedestal; and

wherein the lever is configured to enter in contact with the connection device after a rotation of the connection device enabled by the rotation of the latch.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the pedestal comprises a ring and the carriage module having a least one degree of rotation with regards to the ring.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the convex relief is a right circular cone.

4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the right circular cone comprises a fillet.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic component is a spring.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic component is linked to material properties of the lever.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a coefficient of friction between the connection device and the lever is higher than 0.30.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the pedestal comprises an obstacle to prevent the connection device from rotating more than 180°.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic connector is a male connector.

10. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the face of the pedestal is planar.
