Abstract
An ejector mechanism for use in a card connector comprises a guiding arm defining a channel and a reception cavity in communication with the channel. A push bar is slidably received in the channel and in an intermediate portion thereof defines a slot and a cutout narrower than and communicating with the slot thus forming a first digit confronting and spaced from a second digit by the cutout. A spring device includes a first section firmly enclosing the first digit and a second section loosely enclosing the second digit and the spring device is retained in the reception cavity of the guiding arm. A lever device has a driving end connected to one retaining end of the push bar thus when the push bar slides in the channel of the guiding bar the lever device is driven by the push bar to force the card connector to eject a memory card. The spring device is compressed upon a push on the push bar for ejecting the memory card and the spring device reverts to force the push bar back to its original position upon release of the push.
