Patent number: 10056716Abstract: A female connector including a guide extending in a first direction, a pair of support portions on one side in the first direction relative to the guide, an insulative female body between the support portions, a female terminal held in the female body, and a shaft. The guide guides a mating male connector in the first direction floatably along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The support portions are spaced from each other in the second direction and each have a support hole passing therethrough in the second direction. The female body has a through hole passing in the second direction through at least a portion in the second direction of the female body. The shaft is received in the support holes of the support portions and the through hole of the female body so as to support the female body floatably along the second direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignees: Nintendo Co., Ltd., Hosiden CorporationInventors: Kumpei Fujita, Hiroki Ikuta, Shinji Hirose, Naoki Yamachika, Hideaki Taketsu

Patent number: 10014630Abstract: A card connector including a body, a slider, a lock spring, and an urging member. The body includes a movement path and an abuttable portion. The slider is movable in Y-Y? direction inside the movement path. The lock spring is provided at the slider 300 and is movable in the same direction. An engaging portion of the lock spring is engageable with an engaging recess of a card. The urging member in the Y direction moves the slider from a first position to a second position and brings the engaging portion into abutment with an inclined face of the abuttable portion. In a state where the slider is located at the second position and the engaging portion abuts the inclined face, a load is exerted from the card to the engaging portion, and the engaging portion is displaced in the X direction along the inclined face.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Hosiden CorporationInventor: Naoki Yamachika

Patent number: 9594931Abstract: A card connector including a body, a slider in the body, an urging member, and a cover. The body has a slot for insertion and removal of a card. The slider is slidable, together with the card, at least between a first position and a second position inside the body. The second location is on a card removal direction side relative to the first position. The urging member is configured to urge the slider located at the first position in the removal direction. The cover includes a cover body, which is fixed to the body so as to cover the slot, and a flat spring, which extends from the cover body. At least part of the flat spring is so disposed inside the body as to be elastically abuttable on the slider, on the removal direction side relative to the first position, from a card insertion direction side.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2015Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: HOSIDEN CORPORATIONInventor: Naoki Yamachika

Patent number: 8152541Abstract: A card connector which effectively prevents erroneous insertion of a card having a width smaller than a specified width has an introducing space formed between a body having contacts and a cover. An insertion preventing wall is formed in the body facing the upstream side in the card inserting direction. The cover includes a restricting plate projecting toward the introducing space, with the restricting plate being under a posture projecting further toward the introducing space on the downstream side in the card inserting direction. The restricting plate forms, at widthwise opposed ends thereof, contacting pieces which are deformed as coming into contact with widthwise opposed ends of a card, thereby lifting up the restricting plate.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2009Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignees: Nintendo Co., Ltd., Hosiden CorporationInventors: Tomoyuki Sakiyama, Kentaro Nakamura, Naoki Yamachika

Patent number: 7922505Abstract: A card connector 1 includes a slide member 21 movable along an inserting/withdrawing direction of a card, an urging member 22 for urging the slide member 21 toward a card insertion opening, and a pin member 26 having a slide end 26a slidable within and relative to a cam groove 25 provided in the slide member 21 and a support shaft end 26b supported to the body 2 side. As the slide end 26a is retained at a lock portion L formed in the cam groove 25, the card is retained at an appropriate position. The card connector 1 includes a switch mechanism M which is operated by the support shaft end 26b when the slide end 26a is pushed by the slide member 21 along the urging direction of the urging member 22 at the time of retention of the slide end 26a at the lock portion L.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2010Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignees: Hosiden Corporation, Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naoki Yamachika, Kazuumi Otani

Publication number: 20090298321Abstract: [Object] To provide an improved card connector which can effectively prevent erroneous insertion of a card having a width smaller than a specified width and which, at the same time, can avoid giving any damage to the labeled surface of an inserted card. [Solution] An introducing space T is formed between a body B having contacts 1 and a cover C. In the body B, its base portion 2 having the contacts 1 forms an insertion preventing wall 2S facing the upstream side in the card inserting direction. The cover C includes a restricting plate R projecting toward the introducing space T, with the restricting plate R being under a posture projecting further toward the introducing space T on the downstream side in the card inserting direction. The restricting plate R forms, at widthwise opposed ends thereof, contacting pieces 16 which are deformed as coming into contact with widthwise opposed ends of a card, thereby lifting up the restricting plate R.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2009Publication date: December 3, 2009Applicants: NINTENDO CO., LTD., HOSIDEN CORPORATIONInventors: Tomoyuki Sakiyama, Kentaro Nakamura, Naoki Yamachika
