部が変形するのを有効に防止できる。When the card 9 is inserted into the frame 12 and accommodated therein and is connected to the connector 13, the push lever 16 is operated to rotate the pivot lever 15 around the pivot shaft 14. When rotated toward the pushing side, the engaging claw 17 engages the opposite side pieces 20, 20 so as to sandwich the front end 9 a of the card 9, and the projecting curved surface 21 a of the intermediate piece 21 engages the front end face , And the card 9 is pushed out and removed from the frame 12. Therefore, when ejecting the card 9 from the frame 12,
The lifting of the rotating lever 15 is reliably prevented by the side pieces 20, 20, and the protruding surface 21 a of the intermediate piece 21 abuts against the front end face of the card 9 and is pushed out. There is no risk of damage. Further, the intermediate piece 2
1 is provided with the curved surface 21a.
And the bending strength of the entire engaging claw 17 is increased, so that the U-shaped portion of the engaging claw 17 can be effectively prevented from being deformed by the resistance force when the card is removed.
