Abstract
An ejection plate is urged by a coil spring to be positioned at an ejecting position. When a card is received within a card slot assembly, the ejection plate is moved, by the received card, from the ejecting position to a locked position, opposing the coil spring. A locking member, which is rotatably supported by a pivot, locks the ejection plate to the locked position. A solenoid mechanism supports a rod member so that the rod member is movable in an axial direction of the rod member. The movement of the rod member in the axial direction thereof is converted by a crank member into a rotation force, which is provided for the locking member. The rotation force rotates the locking member so that the locking member unlocks the ejection plate. Thus, the ejection plate is moved from the locked position to the ejecting position by the coil spring so that the card is ejected form the card slot assembly.
