  • Patent number: 8031465
    Abstract: The invention discloses an electronic apparatus comprising a motherboard, a connector, a card member and a first holder. The connector is disposed on the motherboard and the card member is disposed on the connector. The motherboard comprises a first fixing portion and the card member comprises a second fixing portion. The first holder comprises a third fixing portion fixed to the first fixing portion of the motherboard and a fourth fixing portion fixed to the second fixing portion of the card member. Accordingly, once the motherboard or the card member is hit or pulled by an external force, since two ends of the first holder respectively fix the card member and the motherboard, the card member will not be detached from the connector, such that the card member can be connected to the connector well.

  • Publication number: 20080023370
    Abstract: A cassette storage device is disclosed, which is capable of storing a cassette having a first connector. The cassette storage device comprises: a housing having an opening and a second connector; a tray coupled to the housing and being moveable through the opening; a first shaft positioned between the housing and the tray; a second shaft positioned between the housing and the tray; a driving end coupled to the first shaft and the second shaft; and a releasing switch positioned on the housing and coupled to the first shaft. Therefore, when the first connector of the cassette is going to be ejected from the second connector of the housing, the releasing switch is only required to be pushed slightly, then the first shaft, along with the driving end will subsequently make the second shaft rotate and thus push the cassette out from the cassette storage device.
