Abstract
A chip card retaining mechanism for retaining a chip card (40) mounted in an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing (10) having a battery compartment (14) defined therein. The chip card retaining mechanism includes a locking member (30). The locking member is securely mounted on the receiving portion. The locking member and a surface of the housing cooperatively form a receiving cavity therebetween for receiving the chip card therein and locking the chip card in the receiving cavity. A first end of the locking member and a surface of the housing cooperatively form an opening for inserting the chip card.
Claims18
A chip card retaining mechanism for retaining a chip card mounted in an electronic device, the electronic device including a housing, the chip card retaining mechanism comprising:
- a locking member configured for being securely mounted on the housing before locking the chip card, the locking member and a surface of the housing cooperatively forming a receiving cavity therebetween for receiving the chip card therein, a sidewall of the locking member and the surface of the housing cooperatively forming an opening configured for facilitating an insertion of the chip card into the receiving cavity;
- and
- a connector having elastic contacts configured for elastically abutting against the chip card in a manner such that the sidewall of the locking member resists the chip card so as to lock the chip card in the receiving cavity.
A chip card retaining mechanism for retaining a chip card mounted in an electronic device, the electronic device including a housing, the chip card retaining mechanism comprising:
- a receiving portion formed on the housing for receiving the chip card therein, the receiving portion being formed by a bottom surface of the receiving portion, four symmetrical first protruding posts and a second protruding post being defined on the bottom surface of the receiving portion;
- a locking member securely mounted on the housing and spanning on the receiving portion, the locking member and the housing together being configured for facilitating an insertion of the chip card into the receiving portion;
- and
- a connector having a plurality of elastic contacts exposed out of a bottom surface of the receiving portion;
- wherein when the chip card is inserted completely into the receiving portion, and the elastic contacts elastically abut against the chip card in a manner such that the locking member locks the chip card in the receiving portion.
