  • Patent number: 6908321
    Abstract: An all-in-one card connector is comprised of a base, two plate-like members, and a plurality of terminals. The base has an opening formed at a front end thereof, two lateral sections formed respectively at bilateral sides of the opening, a concavity formed at one lateral section, a movable guide member mounted in the concavity for upward and downward movement respectively for blocking a large width card and a small width card, and a springy member mounted between the guide member and the base for generating resilience keeping movement of the guide member. The base is mounted closely between the two plate-like members. Each of the terminals is mounted on the plate-like member and extends into the opening to be electrically connected with contact pads of an inserted electronic card.

  • Patent number: 6821136
    Abstract: An electronic card-ejectable card connector is disclosed to include a base frame, a cover shell, two units of contact pins, and a card ejecting device. The card ejecting device includes a guide member having a guide recess, a positioning bar, and a biasing member. A receiving space is formed between the base frame and the cover shell for accommodating at least two kinds of electronic cards. While an electronic card is inserted into the card connector, the electronic card is stopped in a ready position by the positioning bar held in the guide recess. While ejecting the card, the card is pushed once again to allow the positioning bar to get away from the ready position. Meanwhile, the biasing member provides rebounding resilience to bring the guide member back, thereby pushing the card outwards at a predetermined distance for the user to take it out easily.
