Abstract
A card-type electronic device comprises a casing ( ) composed of a rectangular frame ( ) and two covers ( ) individually covering the upper and lower surfaces of the frame ( ). Substantially U-shaped retaining pieces ( ) are formed by bending tongues ( ), which partially protrude from the long side edge portions of the covers ( ), so that their distal ends are directed toward the other covers ( ) and further bending the distal ends on the inner peripheral side. On the other hand, the side faces of the frame ( ) are formed with recesses ( ) for vertically guiding the retaining pieces ( ) and retaining portions ( ) adapted individually to engage the retaining pieces ( ) fitted in the recesses when the retaining pieces slide in the longitudinal direction of the casing ( ).
