Abstract
A support assembly, and associated method, for permitting a reduced-sized, card member to be received by a standard-sized, card reader assembly of a radio telephone. The support assembly is comprised of a frame formed of a standard-sized, card member having a through-hole extending therethrough. The through-hole is of dimensions corresponding to the card member of the reduced dimensions. A thin, support sheet covers a portion of an opening formed by the through-hole on a top surface of the frame to form a front joist thereby, and the thin, support sheet is folded about an edge of the frame similarly to form a rear joist over an opening formed upon a bottom face surface of the frame by the through-hole. The front joist and the rear joist together form a pocket for supporting the card member of the reduced dimensions within the through-hole. Once the card member of the reduced dimensions is inserted within the through-hole, the support assembly may be inserted into a card reader assembly constructed to be operative to receive the standard-sized card member.
