Abstract

An automatically restorable universal connector includes at least two members pivoted with each other, each of the two members formed with a pivot end which is provided with a locking portion; a pivot shaft extended through the two members; and a restoring member mounted between the two members and having two ends each locked and positioned in the locking portion of each of the two members, so that the two members can be restored automatically, thereby facilitating operation of the universal connector.
