Abstract
A memory card connection device includes an upper card connector stacked on a lower card connector. The card connectors have a rear connector section from which two guide racks extend toward a front card receiving port thereby defining therebetween a first space sufficient for accommodating a type I or type II memory card. A single cover plate is positioned on and fixed to the upper card connector. The cover plate has a low level section directly fixed to the rear connector section of the upper card connector and a high level section positioned above the guide racks and connected to the low level section by a riser panel thereby forming a step-like configuration. The high level section of the cover plate is distant from the upper card connector thereby defining a second space therebetween in communication with the first space of the upper card connector thereby defining an enlarged overall space for receiving a type III memory card without interfering with the lower card connector. The cover plate has two spaced extensions rotatably supporting door panels thereon associated with the card receiving ports. The door panels are spring-biased for exposing/blocking the card receiving por…
