     BACKGROUND 
     An industrially standardized electrical modular connector is normally configured to be released from an electrical jack by a user&#39;s pressing on the clip of the electrical modular connector. While using the electrical modular connector in a high-density patch panel, user&#39;s fingers cannot reach the clip of an electrical modular connector in the last row of the patch panel. Some of the high-density patch panels designed to recess in the equipment make user even more difficult to access the electrical modular connector clip. Various devices attempted to solve the problem but unsuccessfully. The electrical modular connector is for a standardized registered jack designated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and under International Electrotechnical Commission&#39;s IEC 603-7 Standards as well as American National Standards Institute&#39;s ANSI-TIA-1096-A Standards. In solving such problem, some had tried to modified the standardized electrical modular connectors to fit their attempted trials but the modifications from the standardized electrical modular connectors will limit the application only to customized shapes or configurations of the connectors. The modification costs are higher than the use of the standardized connectors. Some prior inventions of the electrical modular connectors teach a quick release mechanism by modifying the tip of the clip of the electrical modular connector to fit the inventions, which is not desired by the industry of network devices because the clip from those prior invention will need a cost and time of customization, instead of using standard clip as by FCC or other standards that are easily obtained from the market. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY 
     A quick release device for releasing an electrical modular connector of a network cable from an electrical jack comprises a connector boot attached to the network cable and assembled with the electrical modular connector; a passage formed on the connector boot, a passage formed on a top side of the connector boot, wherein the passage comprises a first structure, a second structure, and a third structure together with the top of the connector boot to enclose the passage as a tunnel; a slide insert having a first end and a second end opposed to the first end, wherein the slide insert is positioned through the passage, wherein the first end faces the electrical jack; and a rotatable hook having a free end and a pivot end configured to pivot on the first end of the slide insert along a longitudinal direction of the slide insert, wherein the free end of the rotatable hook engages with a clip and causes the clip to move relatively downwardly to release the electrical modular connector from the electrical jack when the slide insert moves away from the electrical jack.

     The invention is directed to a device for quickly releasing of an electrical modular connector for a network cable from an electrical jack. In one of the embodiments of the present invention as shown in  FIGS.  1 ,  2 ,  3 , and  4   , the device  100  comprises a slide insert  110  having a first end  112  and a second end  114  opposed to the first end  112 , wherein the slide insert  110  is positioned through the passage, wherein the first end  112  faces or is closer to the electrical jack  430  and the second end  114  faces against the electrical jack  430 . In this embodiment of the present invention, a rotatable hook  200  having a free end  204  and a pivot end  202  may be assembled or configured to the first end  112  of the slide insert  110  by the pivot end  202  and an at least one pivot hole  203  formed on the first end so that the rotatable hook  200  can freely pivot on the first end of the slide insert  110  in a rotational manner along a longitudinal direction of the slide insert, wherein the slide insert  110  resides on a top  320  of a connector boot  300  and may move forward and backward in a predetermined distance through a passage  310  formed or assembled on the top  320  of the connector boot  300  along the longitudinal direction of the connector boot  300 , wherein the passage  310  comprises a first structure  311 , a second structure  312 , and a third structure  313  together with the top  320  to enclose the passage  310  as a tunnel. The first structure  311 , the second structure  312 , and third structure  313  can be in a form of wall, panel, bar, stud, rod, frame, or mechanical member that can physically be connected together with the top  320  of the boot or a top  420  of an electrical modular connector  400  to form the passage  310  as a tunnel. 
     As shown in  FIGS.  1  and  2   , in one embodiments of the invention, the modular connector  400  is configured to be connected or assembled with the connector boot  300 , which is further connected or assembled with the network cable  301 . As shown in Figs,  11 ,  12 , and  13 , in another embodiment of the invention, the modular connector  400  may be configured to be connected or assembled with the network cable  301  without the connector boot  300 . 
     As shown in  FIGS.  2  and  4   , in one embodiments of the invention, the clip  410  further comprises a body  412  and a straight distal end  414  connected to the body  412 , wherein the free end  204  of the rotatable hook engages with the straight distal end  414 , but the straight distal  414  end is not affixed, snap-fit, or attached with the rotatable hook  200 , and wherein the rotatable hook  200  biases the clip  410  to release the electrical modular connector  400  from the electrical jack  430  when the slide insert  110  moves away from the electrical jack  430 . 
     As shown in  FIGS.  1 ,  1 A, and  1 B , in one embodiment of the present invention, the pivot end  202  may be configured as a pair of protrusions on the rotatable hook  200  and a pair of recesses formed on the first end  112  of the slide insert  110 , having substantially similar dimensions to the size and shape of the pair of protrusions so that the rotatable hook  200  may rotate freely in distal direction  205  on a longitudinal direction of the slide insert  110 . The configuration of the pivot end  202  may be in other types, understood by a person having ordinary skill in the art, allowing the rotatable hook  200  to rotate on the pivot end  202 . 
     In one of the embodiments of the present invention, in a position where the electrical modular connector is selectively connected with the electrical jack, the slide insert  110  is arranged to allow the free end  204  of the rotatable hook  200  to engage with a clip  410  of an electrical modular connector  400  when the slide insert  110  moves away or against the electrical jack  430 ; wherein the clip  410  further comprises a body  412  and a straight distal end  414  connected to the body  412 , wherein the rotatable hook  200  may touch the straight distal end  414 , but the straight distal end  414  is not affixed, snap-fit, or attached with the rotatable hook  200 . The rotatable hook  200  may rotate around the pivot end  202  toward a top  420  of the electrical modular connector  400 , relatively below or downward the clip  410  and may cause the clip  410  to move toward or relatively downward to the top  420  of the electrical modular connector  400  and release the electrical modular connector  400  from an electrical jack  430  when the slide insert  110  moves away from the electrical jack  430 . 
     In one embodiments of the present invention, the downward movement of the clip  410 , caused by the downward movement of the rotatable hook, releases the electrical modular connector  400  from an electrical jack  430 . The aforementioned downward movement is a relative situation where the clip  410  of the electrical modular connector  400  is relatively above a top  420  of the electrical modular connector  400  when the electrical modular connector  400  engaged with the electrical jack  430  in a manner that the clip  410  is in a up direction. When the electrical jack is in an upside-down direction, the clip  410  of the electrical modular connector  400  will point downwardly, which the aforementioned downward movement of the clip  410  caused by the downward movement of the rotatable hook  200  will be relatively upward movements for both of the clip  410  and the rotatable hook  200  when the slide insert  110  moves away from the electrical jack  430 . Similarly, if the electrical jack is installed on a sideway ( 90  degree from a vertical direction), the relatively downward movement of the clip  410  will now become a sideway toward to the top of the electrical modular connector. 
     The embodiments of the invention are not limited to have a rectangular shape for the slide insert  110 , any shape, round, triangular, irregular, that allows the slide insert to move backward and forward in the passage  310  will also appreciated by a person having ordinary skill in the art. 
     The rotatable hook may be a long-felt but unsolved needs to solve the problems to unplug or release an electrical modular connector from electrical jack in a high-density network panel. The rotatable hook and associated parts of the embodiments of quick release device can be applied to industrial-standard electrical modular connectors or similar modular connectors without substantial change or customization of the existing electrical modular connectors. The rotatable hook engages with the clip of the electrical modular connector by a pivot end, not a fixed end. A fixed end alike a clip protector  330  in  FIGS.  1  to  4    may have the issue of material fatigue because a fixed end takes much more stress to the material that is normally made of plastics and is easy to break when by a frequent use and/or in a hot or cold environment, which often occurs to a network panel. The rotatable hook  200  comprises a curved top  210  and a recessed bottom  220 . The curved top  210  of the rotatable hook  200  engages a top edge bar  318  of the passage  310  when the slide insert  110  moves away from the electrical jack  430 . The curved top  210  is arranged to cause the rotatable hook to rotate angularly around the pivot end  202  and angularly, and relatively downwardly toward the top  420  of the electrical modular connector  400  or the top  320  of the connector boot  300  when the curved top  210  contacts with the top edge bar  318  of the passage  310  in a movement of the slide insert  110  moving on the top of connector boot  300  away from the electrical modular connector  400 . A network cable  301  is attached to the connector boot  300  as shown in the figures. In one embodiment as shown in  FIGS.  1 ,  5 ,  9   , one straight distal end of the clip  410  may reside inside the recessed bottom  220  of the rotatable hook  200 . 
     As shown in  FIGS.  1  and  1 A , in one embodiment of the present invention, an aperture  230  is formed on the curved top  210  of the rotatable hook  200 , wherein a straight distal end of the clip  410  may extend through the aperture  230  when the electrical module connector is connected with the electrical jack  430 . As shown in  FIG.  1 B , another embodiment of the rotatable hook  200 , the aperture  230  may be partially covered. As shown in  FIG.  1 A and  1 B , in one embodiment, at least one protrusion  240  formed on the curved top  210  on a predetermined position so that it may stop the movement of the slide insert  110  and prevent from the slide insert from sliding out of the passage  310  of the connector boot  300 . In one embodiment, at least one slide insert protrusion  130  is formed on the slide insert  110  to stop the slide insert  110  from moving further forward when the slide insert  110  is on a predetermined position that provides an engagement between the rotatable hook  200  and the clip  410  of the electrical modular connector  400 . The slide insert  110  may further comprise a handle  140  extended from the second end  114  for easier operation of the device  100 . The material suitable for the embodiments of the slide insert  110  and the rotatable hook  200  may be non-conductive or poorly conductive material and shall be sufficiently or substantially rigid to allow the movement of the slide insert  110  and rotatable hook  200  without substantial deformation. In one embodiment of the present invention, the rotatable hook  200  may comprise at least one curb  206  to prevent the clip  410  from moving sideways, as shown in  FIG.  2   . 
     As shown in  FIGS.  2 ,  4 , and  4 A , in one embodiment of the present invention, one slide insert protrusion  130  is further configured on the slide insert  110  between the passage  310  and the second end  114  of the slide insert  110  to provide a predetermined movement distance of the slide insert through the passage  310  so that the slide insert  110  may not entirely slide out of the passage or move too close to the clip  410  and so that the rotatable hook  200  may be in a predetermined position allowing an engagement with the clip  410 . 
     In various embodiments of the present invention as shown in  FIGS.  3 ,  3 A and  3 B , the passage  310  may be in various constructions, such as open-topped, partially covered, or fully covered as any construction or assembly that would be able to be understood or conceived by a person having ordinary skill in the art that the same can be performed by modifying or changing the subject matter within various conditions. However, the regardless whether the passage is fully-covered or partially-covered or open-topped, the passage is always enclosed by four sides of structures: the passage  310  is enclosed as channel by a first structure  311 , a second structure  312 , and a third structure  313  together with the top  320  of the connector boot and the passage  310  is affixed on the connector boot  300 . The first structure  311 , the second structure  312 , and third structure  313  can be in a form of wall, panel, bar, stud, rod, frame, or mechanical member that can physically be connected together with the top  320  of the boot or a top  420  of an electrical modular connector  400  to form the passage  310  as a tunnel. Also shown in  FIGS.  3 ,  3 A and  3 B , in various embodiments of the present invention, an optional clip protector  330  formed on the passage  310  is shown in  FIG.  3    but not with the embodiments in  FIG.  3 A  and  FIG.  3 B . 
     In one of the embodiments of the present invention as shown in  FIGS.  5 ,  6 ,  7 , and  7 A , a quick release device  100  for quickly releasing an electrical modular connector from an electrical jack comprises a slide insert  110  having a first end  112  and a second end  114  opposed to the first end  112 , wherein the slide insert  110  is positioned through the passage, wherein the first end  112  faces or is closer to the electrical jack  430  and the second end  114  faces away the electrical jack  430 , wherein the passage  310  comprises a first structure  311 , a second structure  312 , and a third structure  313  together with the top  320  to enclose the passage  310  as a tunnel. 
     In this embodiment of the present invention as shown in  FIGS.  5  and  6   , a rotatable hook  200  having a free end  204  and a pivot end  202  may be assembled or configured to the first end  112  of the slide insert  110  by the pivot end  202  and an at least one pivot hole  203  formed on the first end  112  so that the rotatable hook  200  can freely pivot on the first end of the slide insert  110 . As shown in  FIGS.  5  and  6   , in one embodiment of the present invention, the pivot end  202  may be configured as a pair of protrusions on the rotatable hook  200  and a pair of recesses formed on the first end  112  of the slide insert  110 , having substantially similar dimensions to the size and shape of the pair of protrusions so that the rotatable hook  200  may rotate freely in distal direction  205  on a longitudinal direction of the slide insert  110 . The configuration of the pivot end  202  may be in other types, understood by a person having ordinary skill in the art, allowing the rotatable hook  200  to rotate on the pivot end  202 . 
     As shown in  FIGS.  5 ,  6 ,  7 , and  7 A , in one embodiment of the slide insert  110  resides on a top  320  of a connector boot  300  and may move forward and backward in a predetermined distance through a passage  310  of the connector boot  300  on the top  320  of the connector boot along the longitudinal direction of the connector boot  300 ; a locking block  530  formed on the first end  112  of the slide insert  110  with a predetermined length and a predetermined height to block a downward movement of the clip  410  when the locking block  530  is substantially positioned under the clip; a first finger release arm  540  extended from the second end  114  of the slide insert  110 ; a second finger release arm  542  extended from the second end  114  of the slide insert  110 ; a first retaining protrusion  550  formed on the first finger release arm  540 ; a second retaining protrusion  552  formed on the second finger release arm  542 ; at least one recess  314  (one recess shown in  FIG.  6    but another one recess hidden inside the passage  310  not shown) formed in the passage  310 ; wherein the first finger release arm  540  and the second finger release arm  542  are configured to be elastically deformed in response to a pressure applied on the first finger release arm  540  and the second finger release arm  542 , wherein the first retaining protrusion  550  and the second retaining protrusion  552  are configured to selectively engage and disengage from at least one recess  314 , and wherein the first retaining protrusion  550  and the second retaining protrusion  552  are disengaged from at least one recess  314  when the first finger release arm  540  and the second finger release arm  542  are pressed to retract toward each other.
