ABSTRACT:
A connecting device is used in an electronic device. The electronic device includes a housing including a bottom plate, a sidewall and a pivot shaft. The sidewall extends perpendicularly from the bottom plate and defines an opening and a slot. The pivot shaft extends perpendicularly from the bottom plate and is aligned with the slot. The connecting device includes a driven gear, a main body and a driving member. The driven gear is disposed on the bottom plate, rotatably positioned by the pivot shaft, and fixed to the main body. The main body defines more than one connection port. The driving member is engaged with the driven gear and protrudes out from the slot. The driving member is operable to rotate the driven gear and the main body around the pivot shaft, thereby switches the connection ports to be exposed to the outside of the housing via the opening.
