Abstract
To provide connecting means between an antenna structure, which is in a PC main body, and a PC card that does not have an extruding section. There are included a housing 8, an antenna structure, a slot 10 of the housing into which a PC card is inserted, a high frequency cable 5 one end of which is connected to the antenna structure electrically and part of which is pulled outside the housing, a connector plug 6 that is connected to the other end of the high frequency cable 5 electrically and is outside the housing, and an elastic body such as rubber 13 which is configured so that the high frequency cable is pulled inside the housing.
Claims11
A computer system comprising:
- a housing;
- an antenna structure;
- a slot of the housing into which a PC card is inserted;
- a high frequency cable one end of which is connected to the antenna structure electrically and part of which is pulled out outside the housing;
- a connector plug that is connected to the other end of the high frequency cable electrically and is outside the housing;
- and
- an elastic body or a cord take-up mechanism that is configured so as to pull the high frequency cable in the housing.
Connecting structure between a PC card and a computer system comprising:
- a high frequency cable that is pulled in or pulled out from an opening section provided in the vicinity of a PC card slot of the computer system and one end of which is connected to an antenna structure electrically;
- and
- a connector plug that is connected to the other end of the high frequency cable electrically, and is outside a housing of the computer system to be connected to a receptacle of the PC card inserted in the PC card slot, wherein the connecting structure is configured so that the high frequency cable is pulled into the housing by an elastic body or a cord take-up mechanism.
A PC card that is inserted in a slot of a computer system and has a receptacle, to which a connector plug of a high frequency cable is connected, wherein the receptacle is mounted on one end surface of the PC card without overlying a top surface thereof, and wherein the PC card is configured in such a length that the connector plug does not protrude from a face of the housing of the computer system in a status that the PC card is inserted into the slot and the connector plug is connected to the receptacle.
A computer system comprising:
- a housing;
- an antenna structure;
- a slot of the housing where a card is inserted;
- a cable one end of which is connected to the antenna structure electrically and part of which is pulled out from the housing;
- connector plug that is connected to the other end of the cable electrically and is outside the housing;
- and an elastic body or a cord take-up mechanism that is configured so as to pull the cable into the housing.
