Patent ID: 7012403

Claim:
A charger with a replaceable signal line for a car comprising: a casing having a plurality of casing holes; a current taking plug, wherein said current taking plug is coupled to and extends in a fixed lateral direction from said casing, wherein said current plug includes a central shaft which traverses said current taking plug in a direction which is perpendicular to said fixed lateral direction and wherein said current taking plug has a first plurality of holes upon a first surface which are at least partially disposed about said central shaft and a second plurality of holes upon a second surface which are at least partially disposed about said central shaft, said first and second plurality of holes being respectively disposed in respective planes which are parallel to said lateral direction, wherein said casing at a proper position thereof is provided with a signal socket and an engaging piece for engaging with a signal plug and allowing the signal line to be fixedly joined to the casing laterally and the signal line at another end thereof has a connector; a circuit board being disposed in said casing and electrically connected to said current taking plug for rectifying and transforming an input power signal; and first and second substantially identical lock plates, wherein each of said first and second substantially identical lock plates are respectively and movably disposed on a unique one of said first and second surfaces and each of said first and second lock plates respectively includes a first portion which selectively and movably receives said central shaft, a second portion which is disposed on a unique one of said first and second surfaces and which is adapted to be selectively received into one of the holes respectively located on the respective surface upon which said engaging portion is respectively disposed, and an end hook which is selectively received into said plurality of casing holes, said movement of said lock plates upon said central shaft being effective to allow said casing to be moved while concomitantly causing said current taking plug to remain fixed and said end hooks and second portions being effective to place said casing in a selectively fixed position relative to said current taking plug.
