Abstract

A chip card holder includes a tray and a protecting member. The tray includes a receiving portion and a handle portion. The receiving portion is configured to receive a chip card. The handle portion is positioned at a side of the receiving portion. The protecting member is sleeved on the receiving portion and resists the handle portion. The protecting member is made of elastic material so as to prevent outside contamination from entering the chip card holder.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A chip card holder comprising:
a tray comprising a receiving portion for receiving a chip card and a handle portion positioned at a side of the receiving portion, the handle portion defining a mounting slot; and
a protecting member sleeved on the receiving portion and resisting the handle portion;
wherein the protecting member is made of elastic material and comprises a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a resisting portion, one end of the first surface defining a receiving hole, the resisting portion is positioned in the receiving hole and respectively protrudes from the first surface and the second surface, one end of the resisting portion protruding from the first surface resists a mounting member, and another end of the resisting portion protruding from the second surface is received in the mounting slot to prevent outside contamination from entering the chip card holder.

2. The chip card holder of claim 1 , wherein a middle portion of the mounting slot defines a pin hole, a second end of the resisting portion protruding from the second surface defines a receiving slot, the receiving slot is aligned with the mounting slot and is communicated with the pin hole.

3. The chip card holder of claim 1 , wherein a middle portion of the first surface defines an assembling hole for allowing the receiving portion of the tray passing through the protecting member.

4. The chip card holder of claim 1 , wherein the protecting member further comprises a connecting surface, the connecting surface is connected substantially perpendicular to peripheries of the first surface and the second surface, and at least one flange is protruded from the connecting surface.

5. The chip card holder of claim 1 , further comprising a mounting member, wherein the receiving portion is slidably received in the mounting member.

6. The chip card holder of claim 5 , wherein the mounting member comprises a mounting portion, the mounting portion forming a receiving recess for receiving the tray.

7. The chip card holder of claim 6 , wherein the mounting member further comprises an elastic portion, the elastic portion is positioned at a side of the mounting portion adjacent to an entrance of the receiving recess, one end of the resisting portion protruding from the first surface resists the elastic portion.

8. A portable electronic device comprising:
a main body defining a through hole; and
a chip card holder received in the main body and aligned with the through hole; the chip card holder comprising:
a tray comprising a receiving portion for receiving a chip card and a handle portion positioned at a side of the receiving portion, the handle portion defining a mounting slot; and
a protecting member sleeved on the receiving portion and resisting the handle portion;

wherein the protecting member is made of elastic material and comprises a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a resisting portion, one end of the first surface defining a receiving hole, the resisting portion is positioned in the receiving hole and respectively protrudes from the first surface and the second surface, one end of the resisting portion protruding from the first surface resists a mounting member, and another end of the resisting portion protruding from the second surface is received in the mounting slot to prevent outside contamination from entering the chip card holder.

9. The portable electronic device of claim 8 , wherein a middle portion of the mounting slot defines a pin hole, a second end of the resisting portion protruding from the second surface defines a receiving slot, the receiving slot is aligned with the mounting slot and is communicated with the pin hole.

10. The portable electronic device of claim 8 , wherein a middle portion of the first surface defines an assembling hole for allowing the receiving portion of the tray passing through the protecting member.

11. The portable electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the protecting member further comprises a connecting surface, the connecting surface is connected substantially perpendicular to peripheries of the first surface and the second surface, and at least one flange is protruded from the connecting surface.

12. The portable electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the main body comprising a bottom wall and a peripheral wall; the peripheral wall extends substantially perpendicularly from a periphery of the bottom wall and defines a through hole; the through hole has a resisting surface and the at least one flange resists the resisting surface.

13. The portable electronic device of claim 8 , further comprising a mounting member, wherein the receiving portion is slidably received in the mounting member.

14. The portable electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the mounting member comprises a mounting portion, the mounting portion forming a receiving recess for receiving the tray.

15. The portable electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the mounting member further comprises an elastic portion, the elastic portion is positioned at a side of the mounting portion adjacent to an entrance of the receiving recess, one end of the resisting portion protruding from the first surface resists the elastic portion.
