Patent number: 7374442Abstract: A memory card socket structure includes an arm rotatably moved by an insertion and an extraction of a memory card into and from a card compartment and a memory card detecting function for detecting whether the memory card is inserted into the card compartment. The arm includes a main portion to be in contact with the memory card and a sub portion disposed opposite to the main portion with respect to a rotation shaft thereof, and is located at a rear side of the card compartment. The arm is engaged with a torsion spring whose first end portion is engaged with a first stationary contact but whose second end portion is engaged with the sub portion, whereby the main portion is biased by the spring toward an entrance of the card compartment.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2006Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignee: Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd.Inventors: Tsunehiro Anzai, Hirohisa Tanaka, Nobuhiko Kimura, Toshiya Kimura

Patent number: 7309258Abstract: A memory card socket structure includes a base shell and a cover shell adapted to face a top and a bottom surface of a memory card, a contact block disposed in a rear side of a card compartment formed by the base shell and the cover shell, and a plurality of contact terminals fixed at the contact block and extended from the contact block toward an opening side of the card compartment to be in contact with terminals of the memory card. The plurality of contact terminals have at least one shorter terminal and at least one longer terminal, the support position at which said at least one longer terminal is supported by the base shell being closer to the opening side of the card compartment than the support position at which said at least one shorter terminal is supported by the contact block.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2006Date of Patent: December 18, 2007Assignee: Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd.Inventors: Tsunehiro Anzai, Hirohisa Tanaka, Toshiya Kimura
