Portable electronic device with chip card holder
A chip card holder for holding at least one chip card, includes a base, a drawer and a arm. The drawer is slidably attached to the base. The drawer defines a receiving space and a receiving groove communicating with the receiving space. The arm is rotatably attached in the receiving groove. When only one chip card is received in the receiving space, the arm rotates relative to the drawer until the arm is pressed on the chip card so the chip card is held in the receiving space by the arm; when two chip cards are stacked in the receiving space, the arm is attached in the receiving groove to prevent said two chip cards from sliding out of the receiving space through the receiving groove.
1. A chip card holder for holding at least one chip card, the chip card holder comprising:
a base;
a drawer slidably attached to the base, the drawer defining a receiving space and a receiving groove communicating with the receiving space;
an arm rotatably attached in the receiving groove;
wherein when only one chip card is received in the receiving space, the arm is rotated relative to the drawer until the arm spans over the receiving space and resists on a top surface of the chip card; when two chip cards are stacked in the receiving space, the arm is attached in the receiving groove and resists against a sidewall of the chip card.
2. The chip card holder of claim 1 , wherein the receiving space is enclosed by a first sidewall, a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall, a first end and a second end opposite to the first end; the receiving groove is defined in the first sidewall, the first sidewall further defines a first shaft hole, the arm defines a second shaft hole; a shaft is inserted into the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole so the arm is rotatably attached to the drawer about the shaft.
3. The chip card holder of claim 2 , wherein a first magnet is attached in the receiving groove, the arm includes a magnetic portion; an attractive force between the magnetic portion and the first magnet holds the arm in the receiving groove.
4. The chip card holder of claim 3 , wherein a protrusion protrudes from a bottom of the receiving groove, a notch is defined in the arm; the protrusion is received in the notch to prevent the arm from extending out of the drawer.
5. The chip card holder of claim 3 , wherein the second sidewall defines a latching groove, the latching groove communicates with the receiving space; after the arm rotates about the shaft, the magnetic portion is latched in the latching groove so the arm holds the first chip card in the receiving space.
6. The chip card holder of claim 5 , wherein a second magnet is attached in the latching groove so the magnetic portion is held in the latching groove by an attractive force between the magnetic portion and the second magnet.
7. The chip card holder of claim 3 , wherein a slot is defined in the first end and communicates with the receiving space, the slot facilitates an user removing the first chip card and the second chip card out of the receiving space.
8. The chip card holder of claim 1 , wherein the base defines a compartment, in which the drawer is slidably received.
9. The chip card holder of claim 8 , wherein the compartment is enclosed by a first groove wall and a second groove wall opposite to the first groove wall; the drawer further includes a first electrical connector attached to the first groove wall, and a second electrical connector attached to the second groove wall; the first chip card electrically connects to the first electrical connector, the second chip card electrically connects to the second electrical connector.
10. A portable electronic device, comprising:
a housing;
a chip card holder comprising:
a base fixed to the housing;
a drawer slidably attached to the base, the drawer defining a receiving space and a receiving groove communicating with the receiving space;
an arm rotatably attached in the receiving groove;
at least one chip card received in the receiving space;
wherein when only one chip card is received in the receiving space, the arm rotates relative to the drawer until the arm is pressed on the chip card so the chip card is held in the receiving space by the arm; when two chip cards are stacked in the receiving space, the arm is attached in the receiving groove to prevent said two chip cards from sliding out of the receiving space through the receiving groove.
11. The portable electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the receiving space is enclosed by a first sidewall, a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall, a first end and a second end opposite to the first end; the receiving groove is defined in the first sidewall, the first sidewall further defines a first shaft hole, the arm defines a second shaft hole; a shaft is inserted into the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole so the arm is rotatably attached to the drawer about the shaft.
12. The portable electronic device of claim 11 , wherein a first magnet is attached in the receiving groove, the arm includes a magnetic portion; an attractive force between the magnetic portion and the first magnet holds the arm in the receiving groove.
13. The portable electronic device of claim 12 , wherein a protrusion protrudes from a bottom of the receiving groove, a notch is defined in the arm; the protrusion is received in the notch to prevent the arm from extending out of the drawer.
14. The portable electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the second sidewall defines a latching groove, the latching groove communicates with the receiving space; after the arm rotates about the shaft, the magnetic portion is latched in the latching groove so the arm holds the first chip card in the receiving space.
15. The portable electronic device of claim 14 , wherein a second magnet is attached in the latching groove so the magnetic portion is held in the latching groove by an attractive force between the magnetic portion and the second magnet.
16. The portable electronic device of claim 12 , wherein a slot is defined in the first end and communicates with the receiving space, the slot facilitates an user removing the first chip card and the second chip card out of the receiving space.
17. The portable electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the base defines a compartment, in which the drawer is slidably received.
18. The portable electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the compartment is enclosed by a first groove wall and a second groove wall opposite to the first groove wall; the drawer further includes a first electrical connector attached to the first groove wall, and a second electrical connector attached to the second groove wall; the first chip card electrically connects to the first electrical connector, the second chip card electrically connects to the second electrical connector.
