ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a container for containing a PCMCIA card, or an electronic card similar thereto. The container comprises a box that has a bottom portion for holding the card, and a cover portion that is rotatably connected with the bottom portion in order to fit over the bottom portion in the closed position. In the closed position, the cover and bottom portions form a box compartment. The bottom portion comprises opposite side walls that have flexible arms, wherein each arm has a clasp and a cam member, as a single unit and integral with each arm's distal end. A PCMCIA card fits within the area defined by the bottom portion's side walls. The area within which the PCMCIA card fits is slightly smaller than the area of the compartment in order to allow flex spaces for the arms to flex when a PCMCIA card has been fitted between the arms. The clasp and cam member on each arm enables both the arms to flex laterally when engaged by a PCMCIA card that is forced through the arms, and the automatic securing of the PCMCIA card when the PCMCIA card is fitted fully within the containing area, thereby enabling easy or automated loading of PCMCIA cards.
