Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a flash memory card reader, and more particularly, to a pocket flash memory card reader that can be easily inserted with different types of flash memory cards.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Currently, commercially available flash memory card readers typically have an insertion slot that fits only a particular flash memory card. Conventional card readers are difficult for a user to carry around because they are affected by their configuration and connected wires.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 It is an object of the present invention to provide a thin flash memory card reader that can be conveniently placed in a pocket, in addition to being configured to have at least three insertion slots for three different flash memory cards. It is.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The thin flash memory card reader according to the present invention includes a casing, a printed circuit board, and a universal serial bus terminal. At least three insertion slots are configured in the casing for Type I / Type II compact flash memory cards, smart media cards, and multimedia cards / secure digital.

[0005] It is also preferred that all three insertion slots can be provided in a casing. The casing preferably has a rectangular parallelepiped shape and a socket having a semicircular cut for accommodating a universal serial bus terminal. Further, it is preferable that the universal serial bus terminal and the wire can be housed in the casing by moving the side of the lowest surface of the universal serial bus to a semicircular cut in the horizontal direction. .

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The present invention can be more completely understood with reference to the following description and the accompanying drawings. Referring to FIG. 1, the flash memory card reader of the present invention can have a flat rectangular shape, and is actually 98.3 mm long, 62.65 mm wide and 11.1 mm high. It is manufactured in 5mm and has an ultra-thin size like a business card that can be put in the pocket of clothes. The actual size of the flash memory card reader is one of the embodiments and is not limiting.

Referring to FIG. 2, an innovation of the present invention is that the card reader provides three different types of insertion slots, including a compact flash card 11 (type 1 and type 1). A first slot 21 for type II), a second slot 22 for the smart media card 12, and a third slot 23 for the multimedia card 13 are included. The second slot 22 and the third slot 23 are arranged beside the first slot 21, and a secure digital card can be inserted into the third slot 23 so as to be adapted.

Referring to FIG. 3, hardware corresponding to each insertion slot is shown. The first slot base 41 corresponds to the first insertion slot 21, and the second slot base 42 corresponds to the second insertion slot 22. Similarly, the third slot base 43 corresponds to the third insertion slot 23, and the second slot base 42 and the third slot base 43 can be fixed to the circuit board 33. Further, the circuit board 33 can be connected to the universal serial bus terminal 31 via the wire 32 connected to the universal serial bus terminal.

Referring to FIG. 4, the figure shown is the card reader of the present invention viewed from another projection angle. A groove having a semicircular recess 52 at one end thereof is provided to correspond to the opposite side of the insertion slot 21, and the side 51 of the lowest surface on the universal serial bus terminal 31, that is, the universal serial bus It can be seen that the thinnest part of the can be inserted and fit into the groove. In this way, the problem of setting up terminals and wires can be completely solved.

While the present invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment thereof, modifications and variations may be readily made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims. Please understand what you can do.
