ABSTRACT:
A card ejection mechanism for a card connector including a guiding frame, a rear actuating arm, a spring for urging the rear actuating arm rearward, a front actuating arm, and a follower pivotably connected to the rear actuating arm. The guiding frame has an inner space, a positioning groove within the inner space, and a channel. The rear actuating arm is slidably received in the inner space between a forward and a rearward stagnation positions. The front actuating arm is slidably received in the channel and has a front end adapted to operate a card ejection plate. The follower has a projection extending into the positioning groove and is moveable together with the rear actuating arm along the positioning groove to actuate the front actuating arm in a controlled manner. In one configuration where the rear actuating arm is in the forward stagnation position, an actuation of the rear actuating arm moves the rear actuating arm to the rearward stagnation position without ejecting a card inserted in the card connector. In another configuration where the rear actuating arm is in the rearward stagnation position, a manipulation of the rear actuating arm may move the rear actuating arm along a specific part of the guiding groove from the rearward stagnation position to the forward stagnation position again without ejecting a card inserted in the card connector.
