Title:
DETECTION SWITCH MOUNTED IN A CARD SOCKET
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002087298
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A detection switch mounted in a card socket including contact members responsive to insertion of a card into the card socket. The switch includes two or more contact members of the same design, each contact member having a switch contact formed on opposite ends. The switch contact at one end has a front contact section formed in the card width-parallel plane defining a first switch contact. The switch contact at the other end has a rear contact section formed in the card thickness-parallel direction and defines a second switch contact in confronting relation with the first contact. Insertion of the card in the card socket causes the first switch contact to move in the card width-parallel plane toward the second switch contact in the card thickness-parallel direction so that the second contact is contacted and wiped by the first contact.
