ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an extending means, particularly to a toggle joint combination for extending a receptacle of automobile cigarette lighter that is used to extend things for easy reach in a limited automobile space.
2. Description of the Prior Art
As the space in an automobile is limited, deliberation would be required for fully application of the same. For example, diverse application of the receptacle of automobile cigarette lighter may have to tackle with structural problems, such as block of gearshift, etc.
The receptacle of cigarette lighter has been used as a DC power supply for some electrical appliance, such as handset holding-free means of mobile phone set. However, a user has to risk a traffic accident when he is taking out his mobile phone set from pocket and talking on the one hand and driving on the other.
It comes therefore a means later on that can bear a mobile phone set or a can of beverage, and nevertheless, the LCD (liquid crystal display) panel looks rather vague owing to improper visual angle, so that the driver has to concede and turn his body to approach the phone set to still risk a traffic danger.
In view of the above-described imperfections, after years of constant effort in research, the inventor of this invention has consequently developed and proposed this improved mechanism pertaining to the subject matter.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention is proposed to provide a toggle joint combination for extending a receptacle of automobile cigarette lighter and application thereof, wherein the amount of extension portion may be increased if necessary, and the toggle joint combination can be orientally adjusted at will to dodge obstacles in limited car space. Another object of this invention is to provide a toggle joint combination for extending a receptacle of automobile cigarette lighter and application thereof, wherein the second extension portion may cooperate with consuming articles for diversified usage to lower down production cost.
A further object of this invention is to provide a toggle joint combination for extending a receptacle of automobile cigarette lighter and application thereof, wherein a ring type flange gear is used to connect an extension portion with another, and the toggle joint can rotate easily by virtue of slide of each node The engagement tightness of the toggle joints may be adjusted with a locking bolt, and rotation can be stopped by fixing the flange gear in pits.
With abovesaid merits, the toggle joint combination for extending a receptacle of automobile cigarette lighter comprises an insertion portion, a first extension portion, and a second extension portion. Each pair of extension portions is combined with a toggle joint in different orientation, wherein the front end of the insertion portion is plugged in the receptacle of the automobile cigarette lighter, the rear end is coupled with one end of the first extension portion, and the other end of the first extension portion is coupled to one end of the second extension portion, and so forth till the last extension portion whose other end is cooperated with a consuming article. Each joint is made by engagement of a flange gear that can be adjusted orientally at will can rotate easily and smoothly in virtue of node slide, and rotation can be stopped by fixing the flange gear in pits.
