Benefits of technology

Effectively protects the SIM card from accidental removal during device operation without hindering the convenience of installing, testing, or removing it, ensuring the SIM card's safety and usability.

Problems solved by technology

However, under the circumstance that the wireless network sharing device does not support hot swapping of the SIM card, the SIM card may be damaged if the user erroneously removes the SIM card exposed by the opening when the wireless network sharing device is functioning.
Thus, how to protect the SIM card installed in the wireless network sharing device and prevent the user from erroneously removing the SIM card from the wireless network sharing device has become an important design issue.

Embodiment Construction

[0029]Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

[0030]FIG. 1A is a perspective view illustrating an electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 1B is a diagram illustrating an electronic card inside a casing exposed by an opening shown in FIG. 1A. Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, an electronic device 50 of this embodiment is a wireless network sharing device, for example, and includes a casing 52. The casing 52 has an opening 52a. An electronic card protecting mechanism 100 is disposed inside the casing 52. An electronic card 60 (shown in FIG. 2, such as a SIM card, for example) installed inside the casing 52 may be hidden, as shown in FIG. 1A, or exposed by the opening 52a of the casing 52, as shown in FIG. 1B, through an ope...

Abstract

An electronic card protecting mechanism is adapted to an electronic device including a casing. The electronic card protecting mechanism includes a base, a substrate, an elastic component and a positioning component. The base is slidably disposed in the casing and has a covering plate having a slot. The substrate is disposed on the base and aligned to the slot. When the base is located at a first position, an opening of the casing is covered by the covering plate. When the base resists an elastic force of the elastic component and moves to a second position, the positioning component positions the base and the opening is aligned to the slot, such that the electronic card is adapted to be plugged to or unplugged from the substrate through the opening. When the base is released by the positioning component, the base is restored by the elastic force of the elastic component.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan application serial no. 103120873, filed on Jun. 17, 2014. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1.
