Abstract:
1. An extension piece for a length-reduced memory card which extends a length-reduced memory card to a length matching a size of an existing card slot on a card reading apparatus, comprising: a base; and a case assembled to and covering an outer surface of said base; said case being provided below two lateral sides with two inward open-sided guide channels, front ends of said two guide channels receive two rear corners of said length-reduced memory card, and said case being provided at a top with a retaining structure for hooking to a retaining slot provided at a rear end of said length-reduced memory card; wherein said retaining structure includes an elongated cut provided near each lateral side of said case to rearward extend from a front end of the case by a predetermined length, an elastic plate formed on the top of said case between said two elongated cuts, and a hook portion formed at a front end of said elastic plate to forward project from a front end of said base: and said hook portion of said retaining structure hooks to said retaining slot provided at the rear end of said length-reduced memory card; and wherein said case and said base are firmly assembled together via an irreversible connection structure; and further wherein said irreversible connection structure includes said two inward open-sided guide channels formed below two lateral sides of said case, an oblique plate forward extended from a predetermined point on a bottom of each said guide channel toward the top of said case, and a recess provided at each lower lateral side of said base corresponding to the position of said oblique plate on said case; whereby when said base and said case are assembled together by way of guiding two lateral sides of said base into said two guide channels of said case from a rear end of said case, said oblique plates are located in said recesses at two lower lateral sides of said base while extending forward to abut against front edges of said recesses, preventing said base assembled to said case from moving backward to separate from said case.
