Abstract
A memory socket includes a frame having a base portion and a side portion, and a push-eject locking mechanism in physical communication with the base portion and with the side portion. The push-eject locking mechanism to transition between an unlocked position and a locked position. The push-eject locking mechanism includes an eject bar component and a lever component. The weight of the eject bar component biases the push-eject locking mechanism towards the unlocked position. Based on a force being exerted on the lever component, the lever component pivots and transition the push-eject locking mechanism from the unlocked position to the locked position.
Claims20
A memory socket comprising:
- a frame having a base portion and a side portion;
- and
- a push-eject locking mechanism in physical communication with the base portion and with the side portion, the push-eject locking mechanism to transition between an unlocked position and a locked position, the push-eject locking mechanism including:
- an eject bar component, wherein a weight of the eject bar component biases the push-eject locking mechanism towards the unlocked position;
- and
- a lever component in physical communication with the eject bar component, wherein based on a force exerted on the lever component the lever component pivots in a first direction and transitions the push-eject locking mechanism from the unlocked position to the locked position.
An information handling system comprising:
- a memory card;
- and
- a memory socket including:
- a frame having a base portion and a side portion;
- and
- a push-eject locking mechanism in physical communication with the base portion and with the side portion, the push-eject locking mechanism to transition between an unlocked position and a locked position, the push-eject locking mechanism including:
- an eject bar component, wherein a weight of the eject bar component biases the push-eject locking mechanism towards the unlocked position;
- and
- a lever component in physical communication with the eject bar component, based on a force being exerted on the lever component by the memory card, the lever component to pivot in a first direction and to transition the push-eject locking mechanism from the unlocked position to the locked position.
An information handling system comprising:
- a memory card including a notch;
- and
- a memory socket including:
- a frame having a base portion and a side portion;
- and
- a push-eject locking mechanism in physical communication with the base portion and with the side portion, the push-eject locking mechanism to transition between an unlocked position and a locked position, the push-eject locking mechanism having:
- an eject bar component including a channel, wherein a weight of the eject bar component biases the push-eject locking mechanism towards the unlocked position, wherein the memory card slides within the channel as the memory card is inserted into the memory socket;
- and
- a lever component in physical communication with the eject bar component, wherein the lever component pivots in a first direction and transitions the push-eject locking mechanism from the unlocked position to the locked position based on a force exerted on the lever component by the memory card.
