  • Patent number: 10832101
    Abstract: The present subject matter describes an electronic card holder. In an example implementation, the electronic card holder includes a housing having a slot to receive an electronic card. A slidable frame in the housing is to hold the electronic card. The slidable frame has a stud fittable in a groove in the housing. The card holder includes a resilient element with one end being coupled to the housing and other end being coupled to the slidable frame. The card holder further includes an actuating member coupled to the groove. When the electronic card is pushed inside the housing, the slidable frame is moved to lock the stud inside the groove and compress the resilient element. When the actuating member is pushed, the stud is released from the groove and the resilient element is relaxed to move the slidable frame such that the electronic card is pushed out of the housing.
