Patent ID: 7422461

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a holder for an integrated circuit card for mounting to a substantially flat surface, the holder comprising: a laterally extending non-conductive base; a pair of opposed abutments extending above said base, a first abutment of said pair of abutments being resilient such that a distance between said first abutment and a second abutment of said pair of abutments may be increased by urging said first abutment away from said second abutment; a first lip extending above said first abutment and projecting toward said second abutment; a second lip extending above or from said second abutment and projecting toward said first abutment; a plurality of resilient electrical contacts projecting upwardly from said base between said pair of abutments; and a first additional abutment extending above said base, said holder having a footprint that is smaller than a footprint of the integrated circuit card to be held; and a second additional abutment separate from said holder for mounting to said surface opposite said first additional abutment of said holder, said first and second additional abutments for limiting longitudinal integrated circuit card movement.
