1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a mobile communications device.
2. Description of Related Art
Generally, the mobile communications device such as a mobile phone, includes a groove for putting in a subscriber identity module (SIM) card.
When removing or inserting the SIM card, users must slide out a back cover of the mobile communications device to make the groove exposed, so as to remove or insert the SIM card. However, a long slide makes a touching surface between the mobile communications device and the back cover smooth, as a result, the back cover cane easily get disengaged from the mobile communications device, and the groove is easily exposed to the mobile communications device.
Therefore, what is need is a mobile communications device which can automatically eject the groove for putting the SIM card.

The electromagnet 43 is a rectangular, and is fixed on the top surface of the first groove 423.
The groove member 90 is a rectangular, and includes a main body 91 and a connector 92. A third groove 910 is formed on the top surface of the main body 91, and is configured for receiving the SIM card 100. Protrusions 920, 921 protrudes from two ends of one sidewall of the main body 91 away from the third groove 910 respectively. Sliding bars 930, 931 along a transverse side of the main body 91 are extended from the two ends of the sidewall respectively. The sliding bars 930, 931 are positioned on the sliding grooves 425, 426 of the upper portion 41 correspondingly, as a result, the groove member 90 slides on the second groove 424. The hole 917 is formed on the top surface of the main body 91. When the groove member 90 is entirely received into the second groove 424, the hole 917 is aligned with the second through hole 401 of the upper portion 41.
