Abstract:
A connector socket, comprising a main body, a cover, a control bar, and a lever member;said main body being flatly fixed to a circuit board and being provided at a front side with a horizontally extended card slot, and at one end of a top with a guide hole communicable with said card slot; said cover being removably connected to the top of said main body and being provided at an end opposite to said guide hole of said main body with a guide channel, at a rear side opposite to said card slot of said main body with a downward and then forward bent stopper, and at a predetermined position of a top with an opening; said control bar being movably received in said guide channel of said cover; and said lever member being flatly and transversely located between said cover and said main body and movably held to said cover by a hooking plate provided at a front edge of said lever member to upward project from and abut on said opening on said cover, said lever member including a first downward bent end close to said guide channel of said cover and engaged with an inner end of said control bar to move along with said control bar, and a second downward bent end close to and extended into said guide hole of said main body, said lever member having a rear edge that is so formed that at least one point thereof is in contact with said stopper of said cover to serve as a supporting point for said lever member to pivotally turn about said supporting point relative to said stopper; whereby when said control bar is pushed inward relative to said guide channel, said first bent end of said lever member engaged with said control bar is moved rearward for said at least one supporting point on said rear edge of said lever member to contact with said stopper of said cover and cause said lever member to pivotally turn about said at least one supporting point, bringing said second bent end of said lever member to move forward and push a card in said card slot out of said card slot; said control bar being provided at said inner end with a notch into which said first bent end of said lever member is engaged to prevent said lever member from undesired lateral displacement.
