Electronic card holders

A card holder for an electronic device, comprising:

• a housing having a slot to receive an electronic card;
• a slidable frame in the housing to hold the electronic card the slidable frame comprising:
• a base member positioned along a length of slot;
• and
• two side arms, each at an end of the base member and perpendicular to the base, wherein the slidable frame is to hold the electronic card on the base member between the two side arms;
• a groove in the housing to receive a stud placed on the slidable frame;
• a push button coupled to the groove;
• and
• a spring with one end coupled to the housing and another end coupled to the slidable frame, wherein,
• while the electronic card is pushed inside the housing, the slidable frame is interfaced with edges of the electronic card and is moved to click fit the stud inside the groove and compress the spring,
• when the stud is fitted inside the groove, a distance between the slot and the base member of the slidable frame is one of equal to and greater than a length of the electronic card, and
• upon depression of the push button, the stud is deflected out of the groove and the spring is relaxed to move the slidable frame so as to pop out the electronic card from the housing.

An electronic device comprising:

• a card holder including:
• a housing having a slot to guide an electronic card to a cavity inside the housing;
• a slidable frame positioned in the cavity to hold the electronic card, the slidable frame comprising:
• a base member positioned along a length of the slot;
• and
• two side arms, each at an end of the base member and perpendicular to the base, wherein the slidable frame is to hold the electronic card on the base member between the two side arms;
• a groove in the housing to receive a stud placed on the slidable frame;
• a spring coupled to the slidable frame and the housing;
• and
• a push button coupled to the groove,
• wherein,
• the slidable frame moves to fit the stud in the groove, compress the spring and lock the electronic card in the housing in response to a push to the electronic card inside the cavity,
• when the stud is fitted inside the groove, a distance between the slot and the base member of the slidable frame is one of equal to and greater than a length of the electronic card, and
• the stud releases from the groove and the spring relaxes to move the slidable frame so as to pop out the electronic card from the housing in response to depression of the push button.
