TRAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18076631 titled 'TRAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with a tray that can be inserted into a socket on a circuit board. The tray has a body with an accommodation space, a connection member with two fixing regions, and a cover that can pivot between two positions. The cover has a support portion to shield an opening and an operation portion with a fixing portion.
- The electronic device includes a housing, circuit board, socket, and tray.
- The tray has a body, connection member, and cover.
- The connection member has two fixing regions.
- The cover can pivot between a first and second position.
- The operation portion of the cover has a fixing portion.
- The fixing portion can be in the first or second fixing region.
- When an external force is applied to the support portion at the first position, the operation portion can move to the second fixing region in contact with the connection member.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electronic devices with removable trays, such as smartphones or tablets.
- Devices with replaceable components or modules, like memory cards or SIM cards.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a secure and easily removable tray for electronic devices.
- Allows for easy insertion and removal of components or modules.
- Protects the opening of the device when the tray is inserted.
Benefits of this technology:
- Simplifies the process of inserting and removing components or modules.
- Enhances the durability and longevity of the electronic device.
- Provides a secure and reliable connection between the tray and the circuit board.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include: a housing including an opening; a circuit board disposed in the housing; a socket disposed on the circuit board; and a tray to be inserted into the socket. The tray may include: a body including an accommodation space; a connection member disposed adjacent to the body and including a first fixing region and a second fixing region spaced apart from the first fixing region; and a cover including a support portion for shielding the opening and an operation portion formed adjacent to the support portion, and coupled to the connection member to be pivotable between a first position and a second position. The operation portion may include a fixing portion in at least part thereof, the fixing portion may be disposed in the first fixing region at the first position and in the second fixing region at the second position, and when an external force is applied to the support portion at the first position, at least part of the operation portion may be movable from the first fixing region to the second fixing region in contact with at least part of the connection member.
