Patent ID: 7749001

Claim:
A computer peripheral device with a movable protective shelter body, which is connectable to a socket of a microcomputer device, comprising: a casing being a substantially U-shaped cross-section and having two parallel corresponding first sidewalls, wherein a first containing space is formed between the two first sidewalls, and an end of the casing is configured to be embedded into the socket of the microcomputer device when the computer peripheral device is connected to the socket; a main body being a flat plate fixed in the first containing space and having a connecting terminal disposed on a lateral surface and at a position proximate to an end of the main body, wherein the back of the connecting terminal is aligned towards the first containing space, such that when the computer peripheral device is connected to the socket, the connecting terminal can be electrically coupled to the socket; at least one shaft disposed on the casing at a position away from the connecting terminal and having an elastic insert pin disposed separately on both ends of the shaft, wherein an end of each elastic insert pin penetrates through the two first sidewalls at a position away from the main body; and a shelter body having two corresponding second sidewalls disposed on a surface of the shelter body, wherein internal sides of the two second sidewalls are parallel to each other and form a second containing space between the two second sidewalls, internal surfaces of two second corresponding sidewalls have a separate slide slot, and the slide slot includes at least one positioning slot with a sunken depth greater than that of the slide slot, such that when the shelter body is sheathed onto an exterior of the casing, the casing is accommodated into the second containing space, and an end of each elastic insert pin can be embedded into each slide slot and moved along the slide slot; thereby, when the shelter body and the casing are engaged with each other, and an end of each elastic insert pin is penetrated through two first sidewalls of the casing and embedded into each slide slot of the shelter body, the casing can be moved along the slide slot of the shelter body for exposing or covering the connecting terminal in the main body of the casing.
