Definitions

  • projections are formed at specified positions inside the guide grooves, and these projections are constructed so that they limit the relative positions of the claws with respect to the ejector member. Specifically, when the ejector member is initially attached, the projections are pushed in over the claws; afterward, the claws form stoppers in conjunction with the projections, so that the sliding range of the ejector member is limited.
  • memory card connectors of this type are constructed by combining parts which have various functions; however, in order to simplify assembly and lower manufacturing costs, it is desirable that such memory card connectors have a simple construction with relatively few parts.
  • the memory card connector disclosed in the Japanese Utility Model Publication mentioned above it is necessary to align the claws and guide grooves and insert the claws into the guide grooves from the memory card insertion side with respect to the frame body. Accordingly, alignment is difficult and the construction of the memory card connector is unsuitable for automated assembly. Furthermore, considerable effort is required even in the case of assembly by hand.
  • Figure 5A is a part enlargement showing part of the frame and the ejector member at a first stage of attachment.
  • Figure 5B is a view similar to Figure 5A showing the initial engagement between the frame and the ejector member.
  • Figure 3A shows an enlargement of an ejector member mounting section 38 including spaced pairs of claws 37 which face each other (see Figure 2B) .
  • Each of the claws 37 has a substantially horizontal part 45 which extends outward, and a vertical part 46 which extends toward the other claw of the pair.
  • Illustrated in Figures 3B and C is an enlarged view of the reinforcing member supporting section 34 including a pair of offset claws 35a, 35b.
  • Each of the claws 35 has a substantially similar shape as the claw 37.
  • the claws 35a, 35b of the reinforcing member supporting section 34 are formed by stamping and forming a part of the sidewalls 31, thereby providing openings 29a, 29b in the sidewalls 31 at these locations.
  • each of these arms 58 extends from the rear end of the entrance opening of the corresponding space 56 in the same plane as the side 57; then, at an intermediate position, each arm 58 turns inward and then extends further toward the end 59 of the groove 55, terminating in the vicinity of this end 59, thereby forming a stepped shape. Accordingly, each arm 58 includes an end edge 80 which faces the groove 55, and a surface 81 which faces outward inside the space 56. The action of these arms 58 will be described later.
  • the attachment of the ejector member 150 will be described with reference to the mounting or attachment structures 154 shown in Figures 8A-8C.
  • the side 157 of the ejector member 150 is caused to face the side 31 of the frame 30, and the ejector member 150 is positioned substantially parallel to the frame 30 so that the claws 37 are aligned with the walls 181 inside the spaces 156 (see Figure 8A) .
  • the ejector member 150 is moved toward the frame 30 while being maintained in a parallel position; as a result, the claws 37 contact the walls 181 and are stopped as shown in Figure 8B.
  • the ejector member 150 is caused to move forward relative to the frame 30, i.e., is caused to move in the direction indicated by arrow X in Figure 8B; as a result, the claws 37 are introduced into the grooves 155 as shown in Figure 8C.
  • the detailed shape of the reinforcing member 100 is shown in Figures 10A-10D, wherein the reinforcing member 100 has a planar section 101, side walj sections 102, which are formed by bending the planar section 101 upwardly at both ends, and retention legs 103, which are used for fastening to a base plate, and which are formed by punching out portions of the planar section 101 and bending these portions in the opposite direction from the side wall sections 102. Openings 104 are formed in the portions of the planar section 101 where the retention legs 103 are punched out.
  • the retention legs 103 have engagement members 110 which engage with openings in the base plate, and stop members 112 equipped with engagement surfaces 111 which are used to achieve positioning in the direction of height by engaging the surface of the base plate.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un connecteur pour carte à mémoire équipé d'un élément éjecteur réalisé d'une manière simple. L'élément éjecteur (50), utilisé dans le connecteur (10) pour carte à mémoire, comprend des structures de fixation (54) qui sont utilisées pour fixer l'élément éjecteur à un cadre (30) du connecteur. Chacune de ces structures de montage (54) comprend une rainure (55) et un creux (56) qui communique avec la rainure. Un bras en porte à faux (58) est formé à l'intérieur de chaque creux (56). Le bras en porte à faux (58) présente une surface (81). Des griffes (37) qui partent du cadre (30) viennent se loger à l'intérieur des creux (56). Ensuite, quand l'élément éjecteur (50) est sollicité pour glisser, les bras (58) se plient de manière à ce que les griffes soient guidées par les surfaces (81) et introduites dans les rainures (55).
