1. Technical Field
The present disclosure generally relates to electronic devices, and particularly, to an electronic device with a card holder.
2. Description of the Related Art
Chip cards are widely used in electronic devices, such as mobile phones and MP3 players, for example. An electronic device generally includes a housing, a battery, and a battery cover fastening the battery to the housing. A chip card, such as a SIM card and a memory card, is positioned between the battery and the housing. If a user wants to take the chip card out of the electronic device, the battery and the battery cover needs to be disengaged from the housing first, and then the chip card can be disengaged from the housing. Therefore, it is inconvenient to disassemble the chip card from the housing.
Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic member 321 includes a first arc portion 3211 and two second arc portions 3215 respectively connected to opposite ends of the first arc portion 3211. The second arc portions 3215 are connected to the third side plate 3223 and the fifth side plate 3225, respectively. The first arc portion 3211 forms a protrusion 3213 opposite to the fourth side plate 3224.
The positioning hook 328 includes an elastic arm 3282 and an unlocking portion 3284 connected to an end of the elastic arm 3282. The elastic arm 3282 is connected to the second side plate 3222, and an end of the elastic arm 3282 connected to the unlocking portion 3284 forms a locking protrusion 3286. The second side plate 3222 defines an unlocking hole 3227 in an end thereof adjacent to the elastic arm 3282.
The fixing member 34 is substantially L-shaped, and integrally formed with the housing 20 in the illustrated embodiment. The fixing member 34 includes a base plate 340 and a side wall 342 substantially perpendicularly extending from an end of the base plate 340. Referring to
The base plate 340 forms a first positioning bar 345 and a second positioning bar 347; the first positioning bar 345 and the second positioning bar 347 are connected to the side wall 342, respectively, and are substantially parallel to each other. The second positioning bar 347 defines a positioning cutout 3472 for receiving the locking protrusion 3286 of the positioning hook 328. A resisting portion 348 and two restricting portions 349 are formed between the first positioning bar 345 and the second positioning bar 347, and the restricting portions 349 are positioned at a side of the resisting portion 348 away from the side wall 342.

Referring to
The receiving base 32 forms the elastic member 321 to resist the resisting portion 348 and the positioning hook 328 to engage the positioning cutout 3472, thereby positioning the receiving base 32 on the fixing member 34. Therefore, the receiving base 32 has a simpler structure and can be easily assembled. In addition, the elastic member 321 has the first arc portion 3211 and the two second arc portions 3215 respectively connected to opposite ends of the first arc portion 3211 (Refer to
While the present disclosure has been described with reference to particular embodiments, the description is illustrative of the disclosure and is not to be construed as limiting the disclosure. Therefore, various modifications can be made to the embodiments by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the disclosure, as defined by the appended claims.
