Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a cartridge for connecting an IC memory card.
The present invention relates to a cartridge to which an IC memory card can be connected even at a location far away from them.

[Conventional technology]

A unified model with unified hardware and software standards is called an MSX computer.
MSX computers use so-called ROM cartridges.

However, due to the shape limitations of the connections, only standardized ROM cartridges can be used with MSX computers.

Therefore, in order to be able to use IC memory cards with this MSX computer, one side of the
A cartridge for connecting an IC memory card is provided, in which a connector is housed in a case provided with a slit for inserting an IC memory card, and the connector is provided with an IC memory card insertion slot and a terminal that contacts the terminal of the card. . However, since the IC memory card insertion slot is provided in the cartridge itself, this device has the disadvantage that it can only be used near the computer or terminal device to which the cartridge is attached.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks by guiding the lead wire connected to the external terminal inside the cartridge case to the outside of the case.
By connecting the above lead wire to the terminal of a card stand equipped with an IC memory card insertion slot, the IC memory card can be connected not only in the vicinity of the computer etc. to which the cartridge is installed, but also in a location away from the computer etc. This provides a compact cartridge.

[Means for solving problems]

The IC memory card connecting cartridge of the present invention is an IC memory card connecting cartridge having a large number of external terminals provided in the case so as to be connectable to the outside from one side of the case, and each of the external terminals has a lead wire. The lead wire is connected to the outside of the case from the other side of the case. In addition, the card stand is provided with an IC memory card insertion slot and a terminal that comes into contact with the terminal of the card.The lead wire is connected to this card stand, and the terminal of the card stand and the external terminal are connected together.
It is characterized by being connected in a one-to-one correspondence.

[Effect of invention]

The IC memory card connecting cartridge of the present invention is attached with its external terminal side to a computer, etc., and the IC memory card is inserted into the card insertion slot of the card stand. This card stand is guided outside the cartridge case and connected to the lead wire, so it can be moved to any position. Furthermore, since there is no card insertion slot inside the case, the case can be made smaller and the entire cartridge can be made more compact.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of the IC memory card connecting cartridge of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged sectional view, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a card stand.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a case half, and a slit 11 is formed in one side of the case half. A board 2 is fixed inside the case half 1, and a protruding portion 21 is provided at one end of the board 2.
External terminals 3, 3 are arranged on the upper and lower surfaces thereof. Although not shown, a slide bar similar to a conventional ROM cartridge is attached around the projecting portion 21. Further, the board 2 is provided with a connection hole 4 similar to the terminal 3,
The terminals 3 and the connection holes 4 are connected by wiring in a one-to-one correspondence. Since the same number of terminals 3 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the overhanging portion, the number of connection holes 4 is as follows.
Twice the number of terminals on one side is required. A connection terminal 5 is placed on the board 2. The connection terminal 5 has the same number of attachment pins 6 as the connection holes 4, and is firmly connected to the external terminal 3 of the board 2 by the pins 6.

The lead wire 7 is fixed to the connection terminal 5 and is connected to the mounting pin 6 in a corresponding manner. That is, the lead wire 7 is connected to an external terminal of the board 2 via the mounting pin 6. Further, this lead wire 7 is guided to the outside of the case 1 through a slit 11 in the case 1, and a connection plug 8 is provided at the end thereof.

The card stand 9 is provided with an insertion slot 10 for an IC memory card C, and a terminal 12 that contacts the terminal of the card C in a one-to-one correspondence is provided at the back of the insertion slot 10. This terminal 12 and the protruding pin 13 are connected correspondingly, and this protruding pin 1
Attach the connection plug 8 to the connector 3 and connect the lead wire 7. The terminals 12 of the card stand 9 connected to the lead wires 7 and the external terminals 3 of the board 2 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence via the mounting pins 6, the lead wires 7, and the protruding pins 13.

Although the card stand 9 is illustrated as having an insertion slot 10 for the IC memory card C in the vertical direction, the card stand 9 is not limited thereto. If there is an insertion slot for the IC memory card, and if the insertion slot is provided with a terminal that contacts the terminal of the IC memory card, the insertion slot may be provided laterally or at an angle (not shown). Good too.

The IC memory card connection cartridge of the present invention is connected by attaching its external terminal 3 side to the main body of an MSX personal computer. Next, card stand 9
Move the IC memory card C to a free position and insert it into the IC memory card C.
into the card insertion slot 10 of the card stand 9. Then, the terminal of the IC memory card C and the external terminal 3 of the board 2 are connected to the terminal 12, the lead wire 7,
They are connected in a one-to-one correspondence via the mounting pins 6 and the like. Furthermore, since the card insertion slot 10 is not provided inside the case 1, the case 1 can be made smaller accordingly.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the IC memory card can be connected not only in the vicinity of the computer or its terminal to which the cartridge is attached, but also in a free position away from them. Also, since the case can be made smaller, the overall design is more compact.
This is a cartridge for connecting an IC memory card.
