ABSTRACT:
A dust-proof structure (200) for an electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a case (208) having a slot (208a) aligned with a card connector (204) in the electronic device. The dust-proof structure includes a frame (212) formed on the case and around the slot, and a dust-proof gate (210) made of resilient material. The dust-proof gate is attached to the case at a position surrounded by the frame and covering the slot. The dust-proof gate has a slit (210a) positioned communicating with the slot, wherein the slit extends along a direction parallel to a longitudinal length of the slot. To insert an electronic card (202) into the electrical device to electrically connect with the card connector, the card is moved first through the slot of the case and then the slit of the dust-proof gate.
