Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a structure used for an adapter, and in particular to an adapter collection ring structure.

The Prior Arts

Nowadays, due to the widespread and increasing use of Internet, people usually use 3C products, such as smart phones, tablets, notebook computers, and other types of handsets to send and receive e-mail and to gather information easily and conveniently. As such, the 3C products play an important role in our daily life. In this respect, the price of new generation of 3C product tends to be high, and since it is of light weight and compact size, it is liable to be stolen and taken away easily in an Exhibition. Therefore, presently on the market, quite a lot of anti-theft locks and chains are available, to prevent 3C products from being stolen.

In addition, a lot of high-end connectors and adapters are available on the market and are often placed in an Exhibition for display and sales promotion. Due to the enormous crowd on sight, the connectors and adapters can be stolen and taken away easily, to cause losses and damages to the vendors. Even worse, this may cause supply shortage of 3C products, to adversely affect the normal operations of an Exhibition.

For the conventional anti-theft connector head, on an adapter is provided with a hole, for a ring-shape rope body to penetrate through. And a fastening sleeve tube is disposed on the rope body, to be fixed onto a fix position of the adapter, to restrict the adapter connected to move only in a range of the length of the ring-shape rope body, to prevent theft from happening. However, this type of structure is rather too simple, the anti-theft function is not sufficient, thus the adapter can easily be broken, to cause damage and loss to its user.

Therefore, presently, the design and performance of the anti-theft connector head is not quite satisfactory, and it leaves much room for improvements.
