Abstract

The invention comprises a top board with a plurality of buckling portions, each of two sides of the top board has a bearing hole, a sustaining frame connected with the top board, a spring hole provided in one side of the top board, a cover with an arc rim, two end portions of the cover pivotably mounted in bearing holes of the top board, and a spring connected with the spring hole of top board and providing an elasticity to the cover. The side of the sustaining frame corresponding to the arc rim has a stop projection extending therefrom, the cover corresponding to the stop projection has a receiving notch cooperating with the stop projection to stop the cover when forced to pivot. One side of receiving notch in the cover near the sustaining frame has a flange extending therefrom upwards toward the vertical card-inserting direction. The top of the flange is horizontal for further cooperating with stop projection when the cover is forced to pivot.

Claims (18)

1. A card connector, comprising:

a top board with a plurality of buckling portions, each of two sides of said top board having a bearing hole;

a sustaining frame connected with said top board;

a spring hole provided in one side of said top board;

a cover with an arc rim, two end portions of said cover being pivotably mounted in said bearing holes of said top board; and

a spring connected with said spring hole of said top board and providing elasticity to said cover;

one side of said sustaining frame corresponding to said arc rim having a stop projection, said cover corresponding to said stop projection having a receiving notch cooperating with said stop projection to stop said cover when it is forced to pivot.

2. The card connector as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a flange extending upwards from one side of said receiving notch in the cover near the sustaining frame toward a vertical card-inserting direction.

3. A card connector, comprising:

a body;

a pushing device provided in one side of said body, said pushing device includes a pushing projection and a spring;

a retaining board provided in a shoulder portion of said body;

a top board connected to another side of said body, said top board includes a sustaining frame and a spring hole, and each of two sides of said top board has a bearing hole;

a cover with an arc rim, two end portions of said cover being pivotably mounted in said bearing holes of said top board; and

a spring, connected to said spring hole of said top board providing elasticity to said cover;

one side of said sustaining frame corresponding to said arc rim having a stop projection, said cover corresponding to said stop projection has a receiving notch cooperating with said stop projection to stop said cover when forced to pivot.

4. The card connector as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising a flange extending upwards from one side of said receiving notch in the cover near the sustaining frame toward a vertical card-inserting direction.

5. The card connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said top board has a plurality of buckling portions to buckle said body.
