ABSTRACT:
The present patent application includes a discussion of an integrated information card reader. The card reader is integrated into a radiotelephone (101). The card reader has a set of electrical contacts imbedded in a sliding plate (205). The sliding plate (205) is coupled to at least a portion of the other electronic apparatus contained in the radiotelephone (101) and enhances the rigidity of the radiotelephone (101). The card reader also includes a cover plate (213). The cover plate (213) and the sliding plate (205) form a cavity for retaining an information card (105). The cover plate (213) has cantilevered springs (309, 313) shaped from its body for forcing the information card (105) against the first set of contacts (403) when the information card (105) is loaded. Additionally, the cover plate (213) provides shielding at least a portion of the electronic apparatus from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI, RFI).
