Abstract
Disclosed is an improved card connector comprising a casing for accommodating a card, a rotary lever pivoted in the casing, and an ejection lever slidably attached to one side of the casing. The ejection lever is so operatively connected to the rotary lever that the inserting of the card in the casing may drive the ejection lever toward the front side of the casing through the agency of the turning rotary lever, and that the pushing of the ejection lever toward the rear side of the casing may eject the card out of the front side of the casing through the agency of the turning rotary lever. The rotary lever is pivotally mounted to the ceiling of the casing by a tongue-like piece extending across the rotary lever from one lateral side of a window opening of the ceiling plate. The window opening is made by cutting a selected area of the ceiling plate, and is somewhat wider than the rotary lever, and the tongue-like piece is depressed the thickness of the ceiling plate. The rotary lever has a depression at its pivotal area, the amount of depression corresponding to the thickness of the casing plate. Combination of the depressed tongue and the reentrant section of the rotary lever provi…
