BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a global positioning system, and more particularly to a cover member of a global positioning system, color and shape of which can be changed by a user alone depending on his or her needs or preferences.
b) Description of the Prior Art
In modern life, convenience is one of the rather important quests; therefore, a lot of electronic devices are emerging continuously, such as a global positioning system or a cellular phone which can add a lot of conveniences to human lives.
Following progressiveness of technologies, many electronic products that can increase conveniences in lives are advanced continuously too, and the technology of satellite navigation also progresses significantly that functions of the products are improved continuously by vendors of the satellite navigation devices to attract consumers, including the improvement in a quality of navigation, an operation interface, a display screen and a size, as well as a design toward a lightweight and compact satellite navigation device.
However, when there is no much difference in a technology standard of functions and size among vendors of satellite navigation devices, consumers will pay attention to an entire shape; wherein, upon assembling a housing of a global positioning system sold on markets, its host is usually enclosed by a fixed joining method that the host is mostly enclosed by a front cap and a rear cap, and then the front cap and the rear cap are fixed and joined. On the other hand, during manufacturing, a manufacturer will choose a color scheme and shape, or carry out a design in accordance with the consumer's needs; the consumer will not be able to replace a design of the shape of the cover member alone, nor can the consumer match the color of the cover member according to his or her preferences.
Accordingly, how to solve the problems and shortcomings of the aforementioned global positioning system that the consumer cannot replace the cover member alone is an aim of improvement with research and development by the present inventor and related vendors.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a cover member of a global positioning system, wherein an exterior of a host of the global positioning system is enclosed by a cover member, with the cover member being provided with a joint member to connect the host, and the host being provided with a butt joint member to connect the cover member. The joint member can be conveniently assembled with and disassembled from the butt joint member, allowing the cover member to be assembled on and disassembled from the host as needed. By the aforementioned technologies, the problem existing in the conventional global positioning system that the cover member cannot be replaced by a user alone, can be solved, thereby achieving the practicability and progressiveness that the cover member of the global positioning system can be replaced by the user alone, according to his or her needs and preferences to match the color and shape of the global positioning system to be used.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a cover member of a global positioning system, wherein an exterior of a host of a global positioning system is enclosed by a cover member, with the host being provided with a rear cap, at least one location of which being connected to the cover member, cover member and the rear cap are provided with joint members to connect the host, and the host is provided with butt joint members to connect the cover member. The joint members can be conveniently assembled with and disassembled from the butt joint members, allowing the cover member and the rear cap to be assembled on and disassembled from the host as needed. By the aforementioned technologies, the problem existing in the conventional global positioning system that the cover member cannot be replaced by a user alone, can be solved, thereby achieving the practicability and progressiveness that the cover member and the rear cap of the global positioning system can be replaced respectively by the user alone, according to his or her needs and preferences to match the color and shape of the global positioning system to be used.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a cover member of a global positioning system, wherein an upper side of a cover member is provided with an eave which is extended away from a host. The eave is able to effectively block sun from directly irradiating on a panel, so as to prevent the panel from forming an imperfect picture by being irradiated by sun.
