ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a portable storing device with universal serial bus (USB). The storing device includes an upper cover provided with hooks and a catch, a lower cover provided with catching portions for engaging the hooks of the upper cover to form a box, a circuit board having a USB connecting terminal provided thereon and being located in the box formed from the upper and lower covers, and a push-pull control unit provided with a hooking portion and adapted to engage with the circuit board.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In Taiwanese Patent Application No. 91213459 filed in the name of the same applicant of the present invention, there is disclosed a portable storing device with universal serial bus, exploded and assembled perspective views of which are shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
, respectively. As shown, the portable storing device disclosed in Taiwanese Patent Application No. 91213459 includes a case
11
formed from an upper case
11
a
and a lower case
11
b
, a circuit board
12
with a USB connecting terminal
121
mounted in the case
11
, and a push block
13
having an extension portion
131
extended into the case
11
via a top opening
112
on the upper case
11
a
. The extension portion
131
is provided with a hole
132
for engaging with an electronic component
122
on the circuit board
12
, so that the push block
13
interferes with the circuit board
12
. Whereby, when the push block
13
is pushed forward or rearward, the USB connecting terminal
121
on the circuit board
12
is projected from or retracted into the case
11
. The above-described portable storing device with USB is therefore very practical for use.
However, it would be even better if the USB connecting terminal, either in the projected or the retracted position, could be stably located in place.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a portable storing device with USB, in which means are provided to locate a USB connecting terminal thereof. in place when the same is at an extended position to project from a box of the portable storing device or at a retracted position to locate in the box.
