Abstract

Abstract Translated from French Le dispositif de connexion comprend un boîtier de réception (22) muni d'un couloir (26) d'introduction de la carte, présentant une butée limitant l'insertion de cette dernière ; des lames flexibles (32) de contact électrique placées de façon à venir en appui contre lesdites plages (20) avant venue en appui de la carte contre la butée et à exercer sur la carte un effort tendant à l'écarter de la butée ; et un verrou élastique (40) porté par le boîtier et coopérant avec une came (38) ménagée sur la partie terminale de la carte, la came et le verrou ayant une constitution telle que l'insertion de la carte (10) jusqu'à sa position de butée et le retour sous l'action des lames flexibles de contact électrique provoquent le verrouillage de la carte dans la position de contact déterminée et qu'une seconde poussée de la carte libère la came du verrou. The connection device comprises a receiving box (22) provided with a passage (26) for introducing the card, having a stop limiting the insertion of the latter; flexible electrical contact blades (32) placed so as to come into abutment against said areas (20) before coming into abutment of the card against the stop and to exert on the card a force tending to move it away from the stop; and an elastic lock (40) carried by the housing and cooperating with a cam (38) formed on the terminal part of the card, the cam and the lock having a constitution such that the insertion of the card (10) up to its stop position and the return under the action of the flexible electrical contact blades cause the card to be locked in the determined contact position and that a second push of the card releases the cam from the lock.
