Abstract:
1. An accommodating device for holding a card in place, the card comprising at least one engaging portion, the accommodating device comprising: a tray comprising a bottom plate and two first sidewalls protruding from opposite edges of the bottom plate, the bottom plate and the first sidewalls cooperatively defining a receiving channel for insertion of the card thereinto; a spring member positioned on the bottom plate, the spring member configured to be compressed by the card when the card is received in the receiving channel; a covering member mounted on the tray; a latching mechanism comprising: a depressible button arranged above the first hunched portion of the first resilient strip; wherein, when the card is inserted into the receiving channel and the spring member is compressed, the at least one latching block lockingly engages with the engaging portion, thereby locking the card in the receiving channel; when the button is depressed to urge the first hunched portion of the first resilient strip to move downwards, the first resilient strip is resiliently deformed to lift up the at least one latching block away from the engaging portion, thereby the card is then ejected by the compressed spring member and moves outwardly from the receiving channel.
