Abstract
A connector apparatus for a card-like data processing medium has an ejection mechanism for discharging the card-like data processing medium from the connector apparatus. The ejection mechanism comprises a slidable plate that is movably mounted on a frame of the connector apparatus and has a pawl that engages with a forward end face of the card-like data processing medium. The slidable plate slides back and forth in a plane that is substantially parallel to a plane defined by the frame in order to eject the card-like data processing medium. A pivotal lever for transmitting movement of a push rod into movement of the slidable plate is rotatably mounted on the frame in the same plane as the slidable plate, thereby reducing the profile of the connector apparatus. In an alternate embodiment, the pivotal lever is replaced by a plurality of gears that transmit movement of the push rod into movement of the slidable plate.
