  • Patent number: 10312634
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device card socket capable of preventing the breakage of a hinge and preventing noise (static), which is caused by movement between respective parts, in the tray-type card socket. The electronic device card socket according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a socket housing, a socket cover, an ejecting hinge part, and ejecting bar, and a movement preventing means. The socket housing has a space into which a tray equipped with a card is inserted. The socket cover is provided at the upper part of the socket housing. The ejecting hinge part is rotatably hinge-coupled to one side of the socket housing so as to push the tray forward and separate the same when the ejecting hinge part rotates. The ejecting bar is provided at the other side of the socket housing so as to move in the forward and backward directions, and is connected to the ejecting hinge part so as to rotate the ejecting hinge part when the ejecting bar moves forward and backward.

  • Publication number: 20180219312
    Abstract: A withdrawable-card-tray position-fixing structure for an electronic device, which is adapted to allow a tray having a card mounted thereon to be stably positioned within the device, is provided. The structure has a tray and a tray position-fixing member. The tray has a mounting hole formed in a card-mounting section thereof where the card is mounted. The tray position-fixing member is formed from a resilient material that is itself resilient while having a large surface coefficient of friction. The tray position-fixing member is mounted either on the tray itself, in a tray insertion pathway or both, and into which the tray is inserted by being press fitted therein. The structure is adapted to achieve an improved force of friction between the tray position-fixing member and a counterpart member which comes into contact therewith, and achieves an improved tray position-fixing capability via the press fitting of the tray.
