  • Publication number: 20060018086
    Abstract: An expansion slot mounted on a motherboard of a microcomputer for electrically coupling to an inserted adapter card is disclosed. Inserting the adapter card into the expansion slot will flex a flexible member until a protrusion enters into a hole of the adapter card for fastening. Flexing a latch away from a second stop member will disengage the protrusion from the hole wherein the flexing of the latch is defined by contacting a bent member with a first stop member. Flexing the latch toward the second stop member will be stopped when the protrusion contacts the second stop member.

  • Patent number: 6030239
    Abstract: This invention relates to an edge card connector, the edge card connector being composed of a connector, an edge card and one or more turning arms. The connector has an inserting groove for installing the edge card, the turning arm being installed at one or two sides of the connector. The turning arm has a pushing part and an arc seat, the pushing part can push out the edge card from the inserting groove when the turning arm is rotated upwardly. The arc seat can slide into the arc groove of the connector to allow the turning arm to rotate within a setting angle around the arc seat. At the side of the connector is an elastic vertical plate having a stopping face formed at its bottom. The arc seat is situated under the stopping face, such that, the end of vertical plate is pressed inwardly by the arc seat when inserting the turning arm into the arc groove.
