Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a main body; a card holder assembly comprising a shaft, at least one first torsion spring, and at least one card holder, wherein, the shaft is secured within the main body, the at least one first torsion spring is arranged over the shaft, one end of each of the at least one first torsion spring is secured to the shaft, and an opposite end of each of the at least one first torsion spring is secured to one of the at least one card holder, when the at least one card holder is secured within the main body, the at least one first torsion spring is in a compressed state, the at least one card holder is rotatably fixed in place on the shaft; and a card holder control assembly comprising a switch, a pulling rod, and at least one latching member, wherein, the switch is slidably connected to the main body and is moveable between a first position and a second position, the at least one latching member is connected to the pulling rod; wherein, when the switch is in the first position, the at least one latching member is able to latch the at least one card holder to the main body, when the switch is moved to the second position, the switch drives the pulling rod away from the at least one card holder, causing the at least one latching member to move away from the at least one card holder so that the at least one latching member disengages from the at least one card holder, when the at least one latching member disengages from the at least card holder, the at least one first torsion spring returns to its original state to drive the at least one card holder out of the main body, when the switch returns to the first position, the pulling rod and the at least one latching member return to their original state.
