Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 197 words
A cartridge memory assembly comprising: an adapter base having a recess defined by a pair of opposed side walls, a bottom wall and an end wall contiguous with the side walls formed thereon; a lip formed on a top edge of the end wall; two opposed resilient hooks respectively formed in two chambers correspondingly defined in the side walls; a cartridge memory having a front face with a plurality of connectors disposed thereon for providing a signal connection to related application objects, a rear face opposed to said front face, and two opposed side faces with a pair of multisectional tenons, respectively extended therefrom, said cartridge memory being vertically insertable into said adapter base in such a manner that said rear face is hooked under said lip and said pair of multisectional tenons snap into said two resilient hooks; and a pair of L-shaped buffers respectively formed on an end of the corresponding side wall thereof, said pair of multisectional tenons abutting said pair of L-shaped buffers for preventing said cartridge memory from longitudinally slipping out of said recess of said adapter base; said cartridge memory assembly conforming to a uniform specification compatible with related application objects.
