Sim card mounting structure of mobile phone
View Patent ↗A SIM card mounting structure of a mobile phone includes a SIM card receiving recess 5 provided in a rear surface portion of a front side casing of the mobile phone for fittingly receiving a SIM card 1 therein, a pressing portion 3 formed of an elastic material and having one end integrally formed with the rear surface portion of the front side casing and the other end positioned over the SIM card receiving recess to elastically press the SIM card 1 and electrode terminals 2 for connecting electrodes of the SIM card 1 to a battery. The electrode terminals 2 are formed of an elastic material and arranged on a bottom of the recess 5 in an opposing relation to electrodes of the SIM card 1. The one end of the pressing portion is formed integrally on an end portion of the SIM card receiving recess 5 in a longitudinal direction of the mobile phone such that the pressing portion functions as a longitudinal leaf spring. The pressing portion 3 has a notch 4 for setting elasticity of the pressing portion appropriately and facilitating a handling operation of a SIM card.
