Abstract
A swivel adapter connects plugs for different video-connector standards. A smaller Display-Port (DP) connector fits into ports on a personal computer or other device, while a larger Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connector connects to a display or other device through a standard cable. When computer DP ports are tightly spaced, the wider DVI end of the swivel adapter can be twisted to make room for other DP plugs to fit into other DP ports on the computer. A swivel mechanism is located within the adapter body between DP-connector and DVI-connector ends of the adapter body. A swivel joint between the two ends rotates as the swivel mechanism is twisted. Two circuit boards in either end are connected together through the swivel joint by flex lines or a flexible circuit board. A converter chip on one circuit board converts signals between the DP and DVI formats.
