Benefits of technology

The invention provides an electronic device with a simplified SIM card socket that is convenient for insertion and removal. The SIM card socket includes a base, a first engaging member, and a second engaging member. The first engaging member is fixed on the base and the second engaging member is elastically deformable. The second engaging member includes a connecting portion and a holding portion that can move relative to the base. The base can also have a third side and a fourth side, and the walls can be formed on the third side and the fourth side. The method for manufacturing the SIM card socket includes steps of providing a conductive base with protrusions, forming an isolating member on the conductive base, and cutting the protrusions. The invention provides an electronic device with a simplified SIM card socket that is convenient for insertion and removal.

Problems solved by technology

The SIM card often cannot be fixed in the conventional SIM card socket without application of another device such as the battery, as above.
Its structure, however, must be coordinated with a housing of the mobile phone so that the entire process for manufacturing the mobile phone becomes complicated.

first embodiment

[0033]FIGS. 1a-1b show a SIM card socket 10 as disclosed in a first embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the SIM card socket 10 includes a base 11, two first engaging members 12, a second engaging member 13, an isolation member 14, six first elastic members 15, a second elastic member 16, and two walls 17.

[0034] The base 11 is conductive, and is used as a basic component of the SIM card socket 10. The base 10 includes a first side 111, a second side 112 opposite to the first side 111, a third side 113, and a fourth side 114 opposite to the third side 113.

[0035] Each the first engaging member 12 is integrally formed on the first side 111 of the base 11, and is formed like a hook. Also, the first engaging members 12 are fixed relative to the bane 11 so that the first engaging members 12 are fixed on the first side 111 of the base 11. The second engaging member 13 is disposed on the second aide 112 of the base 11 in an elastically deformable manner, and includes a connect...

second embodiment

[0045]FIGS. 5a-5b show a SIM card socket 10a as disclosed in a second embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the SIM card socket 10a includes a base 11, two first engaging members 12, a second engaging member 13, an isolation member 14, six first elastic members 15a, a second elastic member 16, and two walls 17. The components of this embodiment same as those of the first embodiment are given the similar labels, and their description in omitted.

[0046] This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that all of the first elastic members is a (protrusions) extend in the same direction on the base 11, unlike the scheme of first embodiment where three of the first elastic members 15 extending in a first direction and the other three in a second direction opposite to thereto.

[0047] By means of the first elastic members 15a, it is more convenient to manufacture the SIM card socket. Additionally, when the protrusions are bent to form the first elastic members 15a, the angl...

third embodiment

[0049]FIGS. 7a-7b show a SIM card socket 10c as disclosed in a third embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the SIM card socket 10c includes a base 11c, two first engaging members 12, a second engaging member 13, an elastic member 16, and two walls 17. It is noted that the components of this embodiment same as those of the first embodiment are given the similar labels, and their description is omitted.

[0050] This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the SIM card socket 10c of this embodiment does not include elastic contact members.

[0051] The base 11c includes a hollow portion 115 and a fixed portion 116. The fixed portion 116 is formed with a hole 116a.

[0052] Referring to FIGS. 8a-8b, since the SIM card socket 10c of this embodiment does not include elastic contact members, an electronic device 10c, coordinated with the SIM card socket 10c, includes a connector 120 thereon. The connector 120 is formed with a block 121 corresponding to the hole 116a as s...

Abstract

A SIM card socket and method for manufacturing the same. The SIM card socket includes a base, a first engaging member, and a second engaging member. The base includes a first side and a second side opposite thereto. The first engaging member is fixed on the first side of the base. The second engaging member is disposed on the second side of the base in an elastically deformable manner. The manufacturing method includes the following steps. A conductive base with a plurality of protrusions is provided. An isolating member is formed on the conductive base, and the protrusions are partially covered by the isolating member. The protrusions are cut so as to not connect with each other.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a SIM (subscriber identification module) card socket for an electronic device and a manufacturing method thereof, and in particular, to a SIM card socket manufactured by a simplified process. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Mobile phones have become so popular that one user may have several mobile phones using one SIM card that may be shared between different mobile phones. A convenient method of removing and installing the SIM card in mobile phone is important. The conventional methods for holding the SIM card can be substantially divided into two types: a fixed type and a moveable type. Since the moveable type is un-related to the invention, its description in omitted. [0005] To fix the SIM card in the SIM card socket, a surface, formed with pads, of the SIM card is firstly aligned with a surface, formed with contacts, of a body of the mobile phone. The SIM card is then pus...
