20080200057 | Half length SIM card reader with cover and hinge - The present invention is a half length SIM card reader with a cover and a hinge. By using the half length SIM card reader, the restriction area on the printed circuit board is very small. The restriction area is about half the size of a SIM card, unlike other SIM card readers which require space longer than the SIM card. By having a small footprint, additional components are able to be included on the printed circuit board. Furthermore, the assembled cover with the hinge provides vertical operation of the SIM card. | 08-21-2008 |

The ejecting mechanism further has a fastening portion for fastening the lower notch. The operating portion has an upper end surface through which an opening extends. The fastening portion is located under the opening. Using on the above structure, the electronic card can be easily secured in the insulating body. The present invention has a reduced height and lower cost, which is suitable for mass production. | 01-15-2009 |
20090035977 | SIM CARD SECURING DEVICE - A SIM card securing mechanism applied to a casing of a mobile phone is provided. The SIM card securing mechanism includes a SIM card holder used for carrying a SIM card, a restoring element, an elastic element, and a tenon structure. One end of the SIM card holder is connected to the casing, and the other end thereof has a first blocker. The SIM card holder may be rotated to be held in the casing or be exposed from a recess. One end of the elastic element is fixed on the casing. One end of the tenon structure is connected to the elastic element, and the other end thereof has a second blocker. The SIM card holder is rotated to allow the first blocker to be fastened with the second blocker via the resilience of the elastic element, and the SIM card holder may be held in the casing. | 02-05-2009 |
20090197452 | Electrical Connector - An electrical connector for accepting an edge of a circuit board having a notch and a plurality of circuit board electrical contacts disposed on the edge is disclosed. The electrical connector has an insulative housing that accepts the edge of the circuit board. A positioning protrusion is formed on the insulative housing and is at least partially receivable within the notch of the edge of the circuit board. A plurality of contacts are carried by the insulative housing and contact the circuit board electrical contacts. The positioning protrusion has a lower portion that is less than or the same thickness as a width of the notch, an upper portion that is thicker than the width of the notch, and a middle portion connecting the upper portion and lower portion, where the middle portion having a thickness that changes symmetrically. | 08-06-2009 |
