ABSTRACT:
Many computer systems, notably notebook computers, contain extraction trays to extract a thin form factor computer card which has been inserted into a card slot of the computer. A bull nose extraction feature of a thin form factor computer card increases the effective strength of an extraction tray. This is accomplished by changing the host-end snout of the card to have a bull nose, rather than one that necks down to match the mating pin connector. The bull nose extraction feature engages the extraction tray significantly closer to the bend intersection of the extractor tabs of the extraction tray. This effectively shortens the moment arm with which the card exerts a potentially damaging force on the extraction tray.
