Abstract
Disclosed is a cellular phone having a card connector composed of a first slot for inserting a first IC card and a second slot for inserting a second IC card. The second slot is disposed above said first slot so that the inserting direction of said first IC card and the inserting direction of said second IC card are mutually in vertical relation.
Claims25
A cellular phone, fitting a battery pack into a battery fitting portion of a main body of said cellular phone, comprising:
- a card connector that comprises:
- a first slot for inserting a first integrated circuit card;
- and
- a second slot for inserting a second integrated circuit card, and
- a lock button for selectively releasing said first integrated circuit card from said first slot and said second integrated circuit card from said second slot based upon a direction of operation of said lock button,
- wherein said second slot is disposed above said first slot so that an inserting direction of said first integrated circuit card into said first slot and an inserting direction of said second integrated circuit card into said second slot are substantially perpendicular to each other, and
- wherein operating said lock button in a first direction releases said first integrated circuit card and operating said lock button in a second direction, that is different than said first direction, releases said second integrated circuit card.

A cellular phone, fitting a battery pack into a battery fitting portion of a main body of said cellular phone, comprising:
- a card connector comprising:
- a first slot for inserting a first integrated circuit card;
- and
- a second slot for inserting a second integrated circuit card, said se cond slot being disposed above said first slot so that an inserting direction of said first integrated circuit card into said first slot and an inserting direction of said second integrated circuit card into said second slot are substantially perpendicular to each other;
- a mounting board on which said card connector is mounted;
- a casing having said battery fitting portion, said mounting board being installed in said casing;
- and
- a lock button for selectively releasing said first integrated circuit card from said first slot and said second integrated circuit card from said second slot based upon a direction of operation of said lock button,
- wherein an opening of said first slot of said card connector is disposed on a side of said casing,
- an opening of said second slot of said card connector is disposed on a side of said battery fitting portion, and
- wherein operating said lock button in a first direction releases said first integrated circuit card and operating said lock button in a second direction, that is different than said first direction, releases said second integrated circuit card.
