1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an electronic accessory, and more particularly, to a flexible cascade unit for cascading electrical elements and device thereof.
2. Description of the Prior Art
To connect conventional electrical elements such as batteries into serial or parallel connection, flexibility in an overall structure cannot be provided due to contacts of conductive elements. For example, a battery needs to be placed to be in contact with conductive plates in a battery container in order to achieve serial or parallel electrical connection. Thus, restricted by the above concept, the conventional arrangement of batteries cannot be effectively expanded, and thus is not readily portable and wearable.
In a common watch, a battery is disposed inside a watch head, whose two ends are then connected by a strap to allow a user to wear the watch. With a limited space for disposing a battery within the watch head, the battery disposed frequently has specifications of a smaller capacity and a smaller volume, or even a lower electrical capacity and a shorter life cycle again due to the small space available. Further, a battery applied for military uses need to take portability and durability into considerations. However, conventional batteries for military uses do not possess such characteristics.
In view of the above, to improve the above and overcome the above drawbacks, the Applicant, with dedicated researches combined with theoretical knowledge, finally provides the present invention that has a reasonable design and effectively overcomes the above drawbacks.
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a flexible cascade unit for cascading electrical elements, e.g., a plurality of electrical elements such as batteries. Through a cascade structure, a strip-like object is formed based on the flexibility and can be attached at an arm, waist or wrist of a person to be readily portable and wearable.
To achieve the above object, a flexible cascade unit for cascading electrical elements is provided by the present invention. The flexible cascade unit includes a first series connection portion, a second series connection portion and a flexible structure. The flexible structure is a formed integral between the first and second series connection portions, and clads a conducting wire. The conducting wire has two conducting ends respectively extended to the first and second series connection portions.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a flexible cascade device for cascading electrical elements. Through the foregoing flexible cascade device, an electrical capacity of the cascade device can be significantly increased and be applied to, for example, a strap of a watch to increase the electrical capacity of the watch.
To achieve the above object, a cascade device for flexible electrical elements is provided. The cascade device for flexible electrical elements includes two electrical elements, and a cascade unit cascaded between the two electrical elements. A first series connection portion of the cascade unit is adjacent to one side of one of the electrical elements, and a second series connection portion of the cascade unit is adjacent to one side of the other of the electrical elements. Further, a conducting wire in the flexible structure is electrically connected to the two electrical elements, respectively.
The present invention will become more readily apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art after reviewing the following detailed description and accompanying drawings, in which:
To allow the Examiner to further understand the characteristics and technical contents of the present invention, detailed description of the present invention is given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these drawings are for reference and for better explaining the present invention, not limiting the present invention.
Again referring to
As mentioned above, the flexible structure 12 further clads a conducting wire 13. The conducting wire 13 has two conductive ends 130, which are extended to the exterior via the first series connection portion 10 and the second series connection portion 11, respectively. Again referring to
Referring to
It should be noted that, in the aforementioned cascade structure with the electrical elements 2, the cascade device further includes a control unit (not shown) cascaded. The control unit is electrically connected to and controls the cascade unit 1.
Therefore, with the flexible cascade unit for cascading electrical elements and device thereof, a plurality of electrical elements such as batteries may be structurally cascaded to achieve the object of expansion. Meanwhile, with the flexibility provided, a strip-like object can be formed, and can be attached to an arm, a waist, a wrist of a person to be readily portable and wearable. Particularly, the strip-like object formed is suitably applicable to a watchstrap or military supplies.
In conclusion, the present invention is capable of achieving the expected utilization object and overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art. Further, the present invention provides novelty and non-obviousness that fully satisfy application requirements. Therefore, an application is raised according to patent laws. Thorough examinations and a grant to the application for protecting the rights of the Inventor shall be appreciated.
While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not to be limited to the above embodiments. Therefore, equivalent techniques, means and modifications based on the description and diagrams of the application are to be regarded within the scope of the present invention.
