Terminals in a navigator for a mobile phone are easily installed in the present invention. The terminals not only transfer signals but also strengthen the structure of the navigator after assembling the terminals into a supportive frame.

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001]     The present invention relates to a navigator; more particularly, relates to communicating signals with a structure of terminals while keeping a specific attitude of the navigator.  
       DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART  
       [0002]     A general navigator for a mobile phone, as shown in  FIG. 6  and  FIG. 7  has terminals  4 , where each terminal  4  has a contactor  41  deposed with a U-turn part  42  at a side; the U-turn part  42  is connected with the contactor  41  through a connecting part  43 ; a slot  44  is located between the connecting part  43  and the contact or  41 ; the connecting part  43  has a locking part  45  bending downward straightly at a side to be located in the slot  44 ; and the terminal  4  is locked to a support  2  through the locking part  45 .  
         [0003]     Although the terminal  4  is locked to the support  2  through the locking part  45 , because the terminal  4  is a metal plate with a small size, the locking part  45  is hard to be fabricated. Besides, the terminal for electronically connecting two electric parts in the mobile phone is made of an elastic metal, so that it is hard to fabricate the locking part  45  bended with a specific angle corresponding to the support  2 . In addition, the locking part  45  is bended vertically after being fabricated, so that it is not easy to be assembled to the support  2 ; and, the locking part  45  may be changed with its original angle to the support  2  by a sudden hit of an outside force. Hence, the prior art does not fulfill users requests on actual use.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0004]     The main purpose of the present invention is to improve the fabrication process and assembly process of terminals of a mobile navigator.  
         [0005]     To achieve the above purpose, the present invention is a mobile navigator, comprising an encoder unit, a support and a plurality of terminal, where the encoder unit is a hollow cylinder; the support has two braces and each brace has a plate deposed reversely to each other; each terminal has a contactor to be electronically connected with the encoder unit and the contactor of the terminal has a connecting part adhered to the plate of the support; the connecting part of the terminal has a supporting element extending toward the brace of the support; the supporting element is parallel to the connecting part of the terminal; and the brace of the support has a containing slot for the supporting element of the terminal to be plugged in.  
         [0006]     Because the connecting part of the terminal has a supporting element extending toward the brace of the support, the supporting element not only transfers signals but also improve the fabrication process and assembly process of the terminals of the mobile navigator according to the present invention. Accordingly, a novel mobile navigator is obtained.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
       [0015]     The following description of the preferred embodiment is provided to understand the features and the structures of the present invention.  
         [0016]     Please refer to  FIG. 1  till  FIG. 3 , which are a perspective and an explosive views showing a preferred embodiment and a perspective view showing a terminal of the preferred embodiment, according to the present invention. As shown in the figures, the present invention is a mobile navigator, deposed on a circuit board (not shown in the figures), comprising an encoder unit  1 , a support  2  and a plurality of terminals  3 , where the terminal  3  has a supporting element  34  easily deposed on the support  2  and the supporting element  34  is easily fabricated; the terminal  3  and the support  2  are assembled to keep the present invention with a certain attitude; and the encoder unit  1  is a hollow cylinder.  
         [0017]     The support  2  comprises two braces  21 , 22  each respectively having a plate deposed reversely; a shaft  211 , 221  is located at the middle of each brace  21 , 22  for the encoder unit  1  to slip over; a cantilever beam  212 , 222  is deposed at a side of each shaft  211 , 221 ; two sides at both ends of the shafts  211 , 221  respectively have containing slots  213 , 223 ; a fixing hole  214 , 224  is respectively located at a side near each containing slot  213 , 223 ; and, a locking slot  215 , 225  is deposed on a surface of each cantilever beam  212 , 222 .  
         [0018]     The terminals  3  are fixed on the support  2 ; each terminal  3  has a contactor  31  with a connecting part  33  and a U-turn part  32  at a side the U-turn part  32  is connected with the contactor  31  through the connecting part  33 ; the contactor  31  is inserted into the encoder unit  1  to be connected with the inner surface of the encoder unit  1 ; the connecting part  33  is adhered to the plate  23 ; a supporting element  34  is deposed correspondingly at a side of the connecting part  33 ; the supporting element  34  is parallel to the connecting part  33  and both are deposed at the end of the connecting part  33  in to a whole; two sides of the supporting element  34  have respectively interfering parts  341  (as shown in  FIG. 5 ); the interfering part  341  is deposed at each side of the supporting element  34  into a whole, shaped as a hook; and, the terminal  3  is correspondingly fixed into the fixing hole  214 , 224  with the supporting element  34 . By doing so, the terminal  3  can be easily fabricated and be deposed on the support  2  with good supporting strength, where the terminal  3  is electronically connected with the encoder unit  1  through the contactor  31  and is electronically connected with the circuits of the electronic device through the U-turn part  32  of the connecting part  33 .  
         [0019]     Please refer to  FIG. 4 , which is a view showing an assembling of the preferred embodiment according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, when assembling terminals  3 , contactors  31  are plugged into containing slots  213 , 223  with supporting elements  34  plugged into fixing holes  214 , 224  to be in contact with inner surfaces of an encoder unit  1 ; interfering parts  341  at two sides of a supporting element  34  are interfered with two inner surfaces of the fixing hole  214 , 224  to firmly fixing the supporting element  34  in the fixing hole  214 , 224 ; and, U-turn parts  32  are plugged into the locking slots  215 , 225  or are connected with braces  21 , 22  in another way, so that a strong support is obtained after assembling the terminal  3  and the braces  21 , 22 .  
         [0020]     When the mobile navigator according to the present invention is pressed toward a circuit board by a force from a user, the mobile navigator is deformed with an attitude changed. Because the supporting elements  34  a replugged into the fixing holes  214 , 224 , when the attitude of the mobile navigator is changed, at least a part of the terminals are deformed. A potential of the mobile navigator for returning to the original attitude is obtained from the resilience formed by the deformation of the terminal  3 , so that, after removing the force from the user, the mobile navigator returns back to the original attitude.  
         [0021]     Because the supporting element  32  of the terminal  3  is parallel to the U-turn part  32  and the supporting element  34  is extended from a side of the U-turn part and there is no change in angle between the supporting element  34  and the U-turn part on fabrication, so that no differential control to the angle between the supporting element  34  and the U-turn part  32  is required, which happens only when bending an elastic material to obtain a certain angle. Therefore, the fabrication and assembly of the present invention is improved and the production efficiency is enhanced.  
         [0022]     The preferred embodiment herein disclosed is not intended to unnecessarily limit the scope of the invention. Therefore, simple modifications or variations belonging to the equivalent of the scope of the claims and the instructions disclosed herein for a patent are all within the scope of the present invention.
