of the video device C, then is sleeve-jointed with an adopter C
2
which is coupled to a signal transmission line D extended out of a seat B; and another branch pipe A
1
is swiveled to lock on a pipe end A
2
.
In view of abovesaid imperfection in maintenance, after years of constant effort in research, the inventor of this invention has consequently developed and proposed an improved coupling structure pertaining to the subject matter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
As shown in
FIG. 2
, a mobile video device
3
is included in a pillow
1
, wherein a signal transmission line
31
penetrated through a branch pipe
11
is coupled with a signal terminal
32
located at one end of the branch pipe
11
. A pair of the branch pipes
11
of the pillow
1
is plugged in two insertion holes
21
of a seat portion
2
and snap-fastened to a pair of terminal jacks
41
of an adjustment device
4
. The mobile video device
3
is movable up and down along a pair of displacement rails
43
in virtue of a displacement block
42
. At an upper and a lower end of the adjustment device
4
, an upper and a lower stopper
44
,
45
are disposed respectively for easy dismounting or mounting of the mobile video device
3
. And, an exit hole
416
is perforated at a bottom end of the terminal jack
41
for extending a signal transmission line
46
.
Referring to FIG.
3
A through FIG.
3
C and FIG.
4
A through
FIG. 4D
, a plurality of signal contact points
321
is offered to each of the signal terminals
32
according to requirement of the increasing functions of the mobile video device
3
. The signal terminal
32
is lengthened in a multi-layer structure for accommodating the contact points
321
, which may be aligned horizontally or staggeringly, and a plurality of receptacles or slots
322
is also arranged in the signal terminal
32
. A positioning groove
323
is formed in the signal terminal
32
, and a positioning piece
111
is disposed on the branch pipes
11
to facilitate wiring of the signal terminal
32
correctly and prevent the signal terminal
32
from causing a short circuit because of improper swiveling, and one or two sets of the signal terminal
32
may be arranged depending on functions provided by the mobile video device
3
.
As shown in
FIGS. 5A and 5B
, a plurality of storage receptacles
412
is formed in the inner wall of the terminal jack
41
, wherein an elastomer
413
and a steel bead
414
are buried in the storage receptacle
412
in sequence. A plurality of positioning dimples
322
is formed on the signal terminal
32
at positions corresponding with the storage receptacles
412
of the terminal jack
41
. Therefore, the steel bead
414
of the terminal jack
41
is pushed by the elastomer
413
into the positioning dimple
322
of the signal terminal
32
when the terminal
32
is plugged to joint with the terminal jack
41
, and thereby a short circuit owing to improper swivel of the signal terminal
32
can be avoided. At this moment, the signal contact point
321
of the signal terminal
32
is in conductive contact with a signal contact point
411
of the terminal jack
41
.
In another way of coupling the signal terminal
32
with the terminal jack
41
, a plurality of elastic pieces
415
is disposed in the inner wall of the terminal jack
41
and a plurality of positioning dimples
322
on the signal terminal
32
at positions corresponding with the elastic pieces
415
. Hence, the elastic piece
415
is snap-retained in the positioning dimple
322
when the signal terminal
32
is plugged to joint with the terminal jack
41
. At this moment, the signal contact point
321
of the signal terminal
32
is in conductive contact with the signal contact point
411
of the terminal jack
41
.
In
FIG. 6
, after the signal terminals
32
have been snap-retained in the terminal jacks
41
of the adjustment device
4
, the mobile video device
3
is movable up and down along the displacement rails
43
by virtue of the displacement block
42
. As abovesaid, at the upper and the lower end of the adjustment device
4
, the upper and the lower stopper
44
,
45
are disposed respectively for easy dismounting or mounting of the mobile video device
3
, and the exit hole
416
is perforated at the bottom end of the terminal jack
41
for extending the signal transmission line
46
. Further, a plurality of positioning dimples
421
is disposed at two lateral lines properly in the displacement block
42
while a plurality of storage receptacles
431
is formed in those two displacement rails
43
, wherein an elastomer
432
and a steel bead
433
are buried in each storage receptacle
431
sequentially. Hence, the height of the pillow
1
of the mobile video device can be adjusted as desired.
In short, this invention is proposed to provide a coupling structure that is more advantageous for installing and maintaining a mobile video device, and an additional multistage that is convenient for adjusting height of the pillow of the mobile video device.
In the above described, at least one preferred embodiment has been elucidated with reference to drawings annexed, it is apparent that numerous variations or modifications may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope thereof, as set forth in the following claims.
