ABSTRACT:
An expanding apparatus for expanding functions of a personal computer includes a support assembly for supporting a connector of the expanding apparatus to be movable in a predetermined direction between a stand-by position and a pushed-in position for engaging and disengaging a connector of the expanding apparatus from the personal computer. The support assembly includes a support member to which the connector of the expanding apparatus is attached. The support assembly has a plurality of guide holes. A plurality of guide members extend from a main body of the expanding apparatus, in the predetermined direction, through respective guide holes. Each of the guide members has an extended end, with a stopper provided on the extended end for abutting the support member when the support assembly is in the stand-by position. The stopper thus limits the movement of the connector. The extended end of each guide member has a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the guide holes, and each of the guide members is tapered off toward the main body.
