Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention generally relates to SIM card (subscriber identification module cards) holders and, more particularly, to a SIM card holder for seating a SIM card onto an electronic device such as a mobile phone.
- 2. Discussion of the Related Art
- Nowadays, mobile phones are widely used and bring convenience to our lives, mobile phones have become a part of modern life. Every mobile phone has a SIM card for carrying information which is necessary for people to operate the mobile phone. The SIM card may also contain personal information for the subscriber, for example, a listing of frequently used telephone numbers. Therefore, a SIM card holder is necessary for holding the SIM card in electronic devices such as mobile phones.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a typical SIM card holder is disclosed as follows. The SIM card holder includes amounting base 80 and alocking element 90. A receivinggroove 801 is defined in themounting base 80 for receiving a SIM card. Thelocking element 90 includes afixing portion 901, anoperating portion 903 and adeformable portion 905. Thelocking element 90 is mounted on themounting base 80. Thefixing portion 901 protrudes over the receivinggroove 801 to hold the SIM card. When theoperating portion 903 is pulled manually, thedeformable portion 905 deforms and thefixing portion 901 moves away from thereceiving groove 801, thereby the SIM card can be removed from thereceiving groove 801 of themounting base 80. - It can be seen that the
deformable portion 905 of thelocking element 90 is very large, and a height of thedeformable portion 905 will increase when pulling theoperating portion 903. Thus, the SIM card holder occupies too much space, which results in an overly large size for electronic devices such as mobile phones. In addition, when a person is installing or removing the SIM card, he or she must hold the mobile phone and operate thelocking element 90 with one hand and remove the SIM card simultaneously with another hand. That is, it is very inconvenient for the user to operate the SIM card holder. - What is needed, therefore, is a SIM card holder which has small height and is easily operated.
- A SIM card holder includes a base and a catching mechanism. The base defines a receiving groove and a slot. The receiving groove is configured for receiving the SIM card therein. The base comprises a protrusion. The protrusion and the slot are arranged at two opposite sides of the receiving groove. The catching mechanism comprises a main board having a bending piece and a bending hem at two opposite ends thereof. The bending hem is engaged in the slot. The bending piece is engagable with the base so as to lock the SIM card in the receiving groove. The main board comprises an elastic slice resisting the protrusion when the bending piece is engaged with the base.
- Other advantages and novel features of preferred embodiments of the present hinge system and its applications will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- Many aspects of the present SIM card holders and their applications can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of SIM card holders. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

FIG. 8 is an isometric view of the holder for a mobile phone which employs the SIM card holder. - Referring to
FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 , a SIM card holder includes ahousing 10 and acatching mechanism 20. ASIM card 30 is fixed on thehousing 10 by thecatching mechanism 20, and theSIM card 30 is electrically connected to a print circuit board (PCB, not shown) by aconnector 40. - The
housing 10 is approximately cuboid-shaped with afront surface 100 and aback surface 101. Areceiving cavity 102 is defined in a bottom portion of thehousing 10 for receiving a battery (not shown), and anopening 104 is defined in a top portion of thehousing 10 for receiving theconnector 40. Thereceiving cavity 102 is defined by foursidewalls 103. A nick or ahole 105 is defined in asidewall 103 near the opening 104. Being adjacent to thenick 105, aprotrusion 108 is formed on thefront surface 100 of thehousing 10, and located between thenick 105 and the opening 104. Aslot 110 is defined at thefront surface 100 of thehousing 10 and is opposite to theprotrusion 108 relative to theopening 104. Twostrips 112 are formed on thehousing 10 at thefront surface 100 and are perpendicular to theprotrusion 108 and theslot 110. Two ends of eachstrip 112 bend towards anotherstrip 112, thereby cooperatively defining a receivinggroove 114 for receiving theSIM card 30. Abatten 116 is formed on theback surface 101 of thehousing 10, aligning with theslot 110. Twocatch boards 118 and twocatch pieces 120 are formed on theback surface 101 of thehousing 10 surrounding theopening 104 for housing theconnector 40. Theconnector 40 is disposed at theback surface 101 and exposed out of thefront surface 100 via theopening 104. - The
catching mechanism 20 is approximately sheet-shaped having amain board 201. Two ends of themain board 201 perpendicularly bend in a same direction to form first bent portions and part of the first bent portions further perpendicularly bend in a same direction to form second bent portions, thereby forming abending piece 202 and anopposite bending hem 204 at two ends of themain board 201. Thebending piece 202 bends inward of themain board 201, and the bendinghem 204 bends outward of themain board 201. Anelastic slice 206 is forced out of themain board 201 adjacent to the end of thebending piece 202 by a punch. An end of theslice 206 adjacent to thebending piece 202 is a free end and the opposite end connects to themain board 201. Ahook 207 is formed at the free end of theslice 206. A width of themain board 201 is corresponding to a minimal distance between the twostrips 112 of thehousing 10. A width of theslice 206 is corresponding to a length of theprotrusion 108. The bendinghem 204 of the catchingmechanism 20 is inserted into theslot 110 of thehousing 10 and theslice 206 resists theprotrusion 108. - The
SIM card 30 carries information that is necessary for operating the telephone and personal information of the owner. TheSIM card 30 is a kind of integrated circuit card. TheSIM card 30 is mounted in the receivinggroove 114 and electrically connected with theconnector 40. - Referring to
FIGS. 4 through 6 , in assembly, theSIM card 30 is mounted in the receivinggroove 114 beforehand. The bendinghem 204 of the catchingmechanism 20 is inserted into theslot 110 of thehousing 10, and the catchingmechanism 20 is rotated about an angle of 90° afterward to make themain board 201 approximately parallel to thefront surface 100 of thehousing 10. The catchingmechanism 20 is moved in a direction parallel to thestrips 112 to make the catchingmechanism 20 move towards the receivingcavity 102. Then the catchingmechanism 20 is pressed downwards. The catchingmechanism 20 is moved in a direction parallel to thestrips 112 to make the catchingmechanism 20 move away from the receivingcavity 102, thereby thebending piece 202 engages with thehousing 10 at the position adjacent to thenick 105 and the bendinghem 204 engages with thehousing 10 at the position of theslot 110. Thehook 207 of the catchingmechanism 20 resists theprotrusion 108. A cooperation of thebending piece 202, the bendinghem 204 and thehook 207 with thehousing 10 holds the catchingmechanism 20 in position. TheSIM card 30 is thus held on thehousing 10. It can be seen that the SIM card holder merely includes two simple elements, i.e. thehousing 10 and the catchingmechanism 20. Thus, the SIM card holder is quite simple. In addition, the catchingmechanism 20 is a thin board. Thus, the SIM card holder does not occupy much space. - Referring to the
FIG. 7 , when removing theSIM card 30 fromhousing 10, at first, thehook 207 of the catchingmechanism 20 is clawed and raised over theprotrusion 108 of thehousing 10, then the catchingmechanism 20 is moved in parallel relative to thefront surface 100 of the housing towards the receivingcavity 102. Thus, thebending piece 202 and the bendinghem 204 disengage with thehousing 10, shown inFIG. 7 . Finally, the catchingmechanism 20 is rotated through an angle, thereby theSIM card 30 is made removable from thehousing 10. TheSIM card 30 can also be removed after removing the catchingmechanism 20 as the catchingmechanism 20 is also removable from thehousing 10. As such, the SIM card holder has greater ease of use. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , the SIM card holder is applied in an exemplary mobile phone having afront cover 60 and arear cover 70. Thefront cover 60 and therear cover 70 cooperatively define an enclosed space. Thehousing 10 is mounted in the enclosed space. - In alternative embodiment, the receiving
groove 114 can also be a slot defined in thehousing 10, correspondingly, thestrips 112 can be omitted. Thehousing 10 can be just a base for mounting the catchingmechanism 20 and theSIM card 30 without the receivingcavity 102 for the battery. - It is believed that the embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely being preferred or exemplary embodiments of the invention.
