Abstract
A tray for inserting a memory card into a portable computer is described. The tray facilitates complete insertion of the memory card into the computer and optimum electrical interconnection between the memory card and the computer interior. The tray is dimensioned such that it creates a tight seal with the computer housing and provides a coplanar fit with the exterior of the computer housing. No portions of the tray or memory card protrude beyond the computer housing, thereby improving the durability, maneuverability, and compactness of the portable computer. A stop mechanism restrains the tray within the housing when the tray is opened. A memory card can easily be placed thereinto or removed therefrom when the tray is opened and yet the tray does not become separated from the computer and lost.
