The main body 11 includes a housing 12, a display screen 13, a plurality of keypads 14, a circuit module 15, and an antenna 16. The circuit module 15 is a circuit board in this embodiment. Since the other elements have been widely taught in various kinds of the mobile phones, no detailed description is necessary. The feature of the present invention lies in that the housing 12 has a SIM slot 121 formed at a predetermined position thereof. In this embodiment, the SIM slot 121 is located at a lateral side of the housing 12.
The SIM card connector 21 is mounted in the housing 23. The SIM card connector 21 includes a shell 22, a plurality of terminals 23, and an injecting/ejecting device 25. The terminals 23 are mounted in the shell 22 and connected with the circuit module 15, for corresponding connection with the inserted SIM card 91. The housing 22 has an opening 221 right corresponding to the SIM slot 121. The injecting/ejecting device 21 has a linear cam 26, a spring 27, a positioning member 28, and a heart-shaped groove 29 formed at the linear cam 26. Since the injecting/ejecting device 21 has been widely taught in the conventional card connectors and exemplified in the above-mentioned column of Description of the Related Art, no more description of its detailed structure and the interactive relationships among its elements.
In this embodiment, a stepped portion 122 is formed around the SIM slot 121 for allowing the user's finger to push the SIM card 91 further inward after the SIM card 91 is inserted into the SIM card connector 21. In addition, the inserted SIM card 91 does not protrude out of the surface of the housing 12. After inserted, the outer fringe of the SIM card 91 is aligned with the surface of the stepped portion 122 or alternatively, the outer fringe of the SIM card 91 protrudes slightly out of the surface of the stepped portion 122 and be aligned with the surface of the housing 12.
Please refer to
As known from above, the present invention allows the user to do the changeover of the SIM card at the external side of the mobile phone and it is not necessary to dismantle the mobile phone or remove its cover, thus being very convenient for the changeover.
Although the present invention has been described with respect to a specific preferred embodiment thereof, it is no way limited to the details of the illustrated structures but changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the appended claims.
