  • Patent number: 5699406
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for securing the SIM card (6) in a mobile telephone. By means of the arrangement according to the invention the SIM card (6), which is normally held in place by the spring force exerted by a spring (11) attached to the battery (10) of the telephone, will remain in place while the battery (10) is in place and also while the battery (10) is being removed from the mobile telephone frame (1). This is accomplished by including in the telephone frame a protrusion (8), behind which the SIM card (6) is locked as a result of said spring force. The arrangement according to the invention can advantageously be applied to portable mobile telephones with SIM cards (SIM, Subscriber Identity Module).
