Flash storage device with all-in-one rotation casing

Abstract

Disclosed is a flash memory apparatus having a single body type rotary cover, wherein a cover is not completely separated from the main body in any case whatsoever so that lost of the cover is prevented. The flash memory apparatus includes: a flash memory main body including a rectangular shaped case within which a memory element is mounted, an USB terminal piece electrically connected with the memory element and installed at a front end of the case in a projecting manner, and a hinge protuberance formed on at least one side among a front side and a back side; and a pair of parallel plate members facing each other with an interval corresponding to the thickness of the case, and whose front end is opened, whose terminal is closed and both the lateral ends of which are opened; in which the parallel plate members have a cover on which a hinge hole joined to the hinge protuberance, for pivoting on the shaft, is formed, so that the cover is rotated with respect to the flash memory main body, whereby the USB terminal piece is received in an inner space of the cover or exposed to the outside.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a flash memory device, in particular to such a flash memory device, the casing of which is not completely separated from the main body during use, so as to prevent the casing from being lost. Background technique [0002] Flash memory is a non-volatile semiconductor storage device, also known as flash RAM (Random Access Memory). Flash memory is also a variant of EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). But unlike EEPROM, which is erasable and modifiable at the byte level, flash memory is erasable and modifiable at the block level, so it performs fast. Such flash memory is used today in portable storage for a variety of devices including: digital cellular phones, digital cameras, LAN (Local Area Network) switches, PC cards, and digital setup boxes or internal controllers for notebook computers. In addition, as memory capacity has been significantly increased recently, even a flash memory of a gigab...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, according to the above-described background art flash memory device having a detachable case, the user may not put the case on the front end or the terminal tight joint part, but put it elsewhere, so the case is lost.

At the same time, it often happens that the joint state between the USB terminal piece and the front tight joint part or the terminal tight joint part becomes loose, so that the case is separated from the USB terminal piece

In this case, the USB terminal piece of the flash memory device will be damaged, or foreign matter will enter the USB terminal piece, so the flash memory device itself will be damaged
