Patent ID: 7364439

Claim:
A memory card assembly comprising: a memory card including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, with the first end of the memory card including a USB interface, with the second end of the memory card including a read/write interface; and a case including a compartment for removably receiving the second end of the memory card, with the case further including a coupling member extending from a wall defining the compartment, with the coupling member having a horizontal plate with a first side and a second side opposite the first side, a first lateral plate and a second lateral plate, with the first lateral plate connected to the first side, with the second lateral plate connected to the second side, with the horizontal plate and the first and second lateral plates forming a substantially U-shaped structure, with the case being free of electrical connection with the memory card, with a protrusion on one of the memory card and the case, with a recess in the other of the memory card and the case, and with the recess snap-fitted with the protrusion, with the recess removable from the protrusion without disassembly of the case, and with the memory card removable from the case without disassembly of the case; wherein when the second end of the memory card is inserted into the compartment of the case, the read/write interface is concealed, with the read/write interface unusable when concealed, with the first end of the memory card opposite to and spaced from the horizontal plate of the coupling member, with the coupling member and the first end of the memory card together forming a substantially rectangular coupling socket adapted for coupling with a coupling seat inside a coupling opening of a USB socket, and with the USB interface located in the substantially rectangular coupling socket and in electrical contact with resilient coupling plates of the USB socket; and wherein when the second end of the memory card is removed from the compartment of the case, the read/write interface is exposed, with the read/write interface usable when exposed.
