Abstract:
A connector device for IC card, including:a frame for supporting first and second IC cards so as to permit insertion and ejection of the IC cards with respect to the connector device;a push rod capable of reciprocating between a push-in position and a projecting position; anda transfer pin secured to said push rod pivotably,wherein with the first and/or second IC card inserted into the connector device, said push rod is held at the push-in position by a lock mechanism of said transfer pin, and in this state, by a first pushing motion of the push rod, said lock mechanism of the transfer pin is unlocked and the push rod moves to said first projecting position, then at the first projecting position the first IC card is ejected by the transfer pin in accordance with a second pushing motion of the push rod, the push rod being movable to a second projecting position projecting to a further extent from the first projecting position, further, when the push rod is at the first projecting position, the push rod is moved to the second projecting position by a pulling motion thereof, and with the push rod lying at the second projecting position the transfer pin is rotated to effect the ejection of the second IC card when the push rod performs the pushing motion.
