Abstract
A surface contact card holder (100) includes a body (10), a receiving mechanism (14), a guiding mechanism (20), and a latching member (25). The receiving mechanism is provided on the body for receiving a surface contact card (30) therein. The receiving mechanism has an aperture (142) defined in one end thereof for insertion and withdraw of the surface contact card. The guiding mechanism is provided on the body and adjacent to the aperture. The latching member is slidably mounted with the guiding mechanism for opening and closing the aperture of the receiving mechanism.
Claims19
A surface contact card holder comprising:
- a body;
- a receiving mechanism provided on the body for receiving a surface contact card therein and having an aperture defined in one end thereof for insertion and withdraw of the surface contact card;
- a guiding mechanism provided on the body adjacent to the aperture, the guiding mechanism including a plurality of guiding pieces, the guiding pieces extending from the body and cooperatively forming a channel therein;
- and
- a latching member slidably mounted in the channel of the guiding mechanism for closing or opening the aperture of the receiving mechanism.
A holder for holding a surface contact card in a portable electronic device having a device body, the holder comprising:
- a receiving mechanism provided on the device body, the receiving mechanism being configured for receiving the surface contact card therein and holding the surface contact card in a first direction and a second direction;
- a guiding mechanism provided on the body;
- and
- a latching member mounted with the guiding mechanism and being linearly slidable along one of the first and second directions, the latching member thereby being able to be selectably slid so as to cooperate with the receiving mechanism to hold the surface contact card in a third direction.
A portable electronic device comprising:
- a body;
- a receiving mechanism provided on the body, the receiving mechanism defining a receiving groove configured for receiving a surface contact card therein and for holding the surface contact card in a first direction and a second direction, and having an aperture defined at one end of the receiving groove for insertion and withdrawal of the surface contact card;
- a guiding mechanism provided on the body and adjacent to the aperture, the guiding mechanism defining a channel;
- and
- a latching member mounted in the channel of the guiding mechanism, the latching member being slidable along one of the first and second directions and thereby being configured for selectably closing or opening the aperture of the receiving mechanism.
