Chip card inserting and fixing device

Abstract

Device comprises a partial recess (22) in the upper part of a screening cover with the exception of a tongue, recess providing an opening (20) for the passage of the elastic contacts, the vertical distance between the plane of the elastic contacts and tongue allowing the passage of the chip card (12), which is positioned and held within the recess.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The present invention relates to microchip cards for use in mobile phones, and more particularly to a device for use in mobile phones for inserting a microchip card and holding the microchip card in contact with the output terminals of a microchip card reader . Background technique: [0002] This application is based on French Patent Application No. 0101864 filed February 12, 2001, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119. [0003] Mobile phones usually have three parts: [0004] - the middle part containing the electronic circuit, [0005] - the front part that supports the screen and keyboard, and [0006] -Supports the back part of the battery. [0007] The rear part can be removed to reveal the back of the middle part, which features various moving contacts, some of which are connected to the battery and the rest are used to connect the microchip card and Microchip ca...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] In the prior art, devices for inserting and securing microchip cards can be realized in various ways, the main disadvantage of these devices is the complex construction due to the reliance on rotating and longitudinally moving mechanisms, the production and assembly of which High cost and easily damaged in use

[0010] Also, some existing devices have a certain thickness, so that the thickness of the mobile phone is correspondingly increased, and at the same time, these devices occupy a large area of ​​the printed circuit card supporting the electronic circuit
