Abstract

The puller type card socket of the Present Disclosure relates to a card socket furnished with a housing and a cover that covers the housing, configured so that a card can be inserted and withdrawn between the housing and the cover. A sliding part is mounted in a sliding groove formed on one side of the interior of the housing to enable sliding along the cover's insertion and withdrawal directions, and a card contact part is formed on the rear end of the sliding part so as to contact with and be pushed by the sloped front end of the card during insertion, and to push the card forward when the card is withdrawn A puller, wherein a pulling part is formed on the front part, is located at the front of the housing to be pulled on when withdrawing the card The card contact part is configured to overlap with the reverse mounting prevention part that prevents reverse mounting of the card when the card has been fully inserted, while on the top of one side wall of the sliding groove, a stopper part is formed that restricts the forward movement of the puller by catching on the card contact part of the puller when the card is withdrawn.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A card socket in which a card can be inserted and withdrawn, the card socket comprising:
a housing, the housing defining a sliding groove, a reverse mounting prevention part, and a stopper part, the sliding groove being formed on one side of an interior of the housing, the reverse mounting prevention part preventing the reverse mounting of the card;
a cover, the cover covering the housing, the cover being configured so that the card can be inserted and withdrawn between the housing and the cover; and
a puller, the puller having a sliding part, a pulling part and a card contact part, the sliding part being mounted in the sliding groove and being able to slide along the insertion and withdrawal directions of the card, the sliding part having a front end and a rear end, the pulling part being provided at the front end of the sliding part, the pulling part being configured to be pulled on when withdrawing the card, the card contact part being provided at the rear end of the sliding part, the card contact part being configured to overlap with the reverse mounting prevention part, the card contact part configured to be pushed by the card during insertion, the card contact part configured to push the card forward when the card is withdrawn, wherein when the card is withdrawn, the card contact part is configured to catch on the stopper part, thereby restricting the forward movement of the puller.

2. The card socket of claim 1 , wherein the puller is prevented from detaching upward detachment by the cover.

3. The card socket of claim 1 , wherein the pulling part is formed by bending the front end of the sliding part.

4. The card socket of claim 1 , wherein the card contact part has a sloped face formed thereon which is configured to contact a sloped front end of the card.

5. The card socket of claim 1 , wherein the card contact part is formed by bending the rear end of the sliding part.

6. The card socket of claim 5 , wherein, to facilitate the bending of the card contact part, a bending groove is formed at the rear end of the sliding part.

7. The card socket of claim 4 , wherein the sloped face of the card contact part has a contact area expansion part formed thereon, the contact area expansion part being bent downward to expand a contact area with the card.

8. The card socket of claim 7 , wherein a bending groove is formed on the puller, the bending groove facilitating bending of the contact area expansion part.

9. The card socket of claim 7 , wherein the reverse mounting prevention part has a sloped face and an overlapping lip formed thereon, the overlapping lip overlapping with the contact area expansion part so that the sloped face of the reverse mounting prevention part will coincide with the sloped face of the card contact part.

10. The card socket of claim 1 , wherein the stopper part has the form of a tab.

11. The card socket of claim 1 , wherein the stopper part is formed on a top of a side wall of the sliding groove.
