Memory card box

Memory card box description/claims

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a memory card box, particularly to a box structure for protecting memory cards.

2. Description of the Related Art

With the advance of science and technology, storage media, such as memory cards, have been extensively and massively used in many electronic products, such as digital cameras, mobile phones and PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). A memory card is usually small, slim and lightweight but has a great storage capacity. When a memory card is placed together with a sharp and hard object, the memory card is apt to be scratched or damaged. A memory card is also apt to be contaminated by dust or other dirt in the environment. In these cases, data may be unable to be written in or read from a memory card. Therefore, many dedicated boxes were developed to protect memory cards against damage or contamination.

A conventional memory card box usually has a top cover and a bottom cover, which can be closed together. The memory card box has an accommodation space thereinside for memory card storage. Many memory card boxes can only store a single memory card. If a user has more than one memory card, he has to use another box to store another memory card, which inconveniences the user. Further, the open/close mechanisms of some memory card boxes are not easy-to-operate, and users thus have to spend time on opening/closing these boxes.

Accordingly, the present invention proposes a fine-design and easy-to-operate memory card box to overcome the abovementioned problems.

One objective of the present invention is to provide a memory card box, which is easy to open and close, wherein two covers thereof can be locked together via a design having a press member, a hook element and a through-hole, and wherein two locked covers can be unlocked via pressing the press member.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a memory card box, which can store a plurality of memory cards.

Further another objective of the present invention is to provide a memory card box, which can protect memory cards against damage and contamination.

The present invention discloses a memory card box, which comprises a first cover and a second cover. The first cover has a press element, and a hook element extending out from said press member. The second cover is joined to the first cover at one side and has a through-hole at the other side, and the through-hole is at a position corresponding to the press member and the hook element of the first cover. When the hook element is pushed through the through-hole and locked at one side of the through-hole, the press member is locked at the other side of the through-hole, and the first and second covers are thus locked together. The locked first and second covers can be unlocked via pressing the press member.

Further, a plurality of fixing elements are formed on the inner surfaces of both the first and second covers, and the fixing elements are arranged according to the shape of a memory card and used to fix the memory card thereinside.

Below, the embodiments are described in detail in cooperation with the attached drawings to make easily understood the objectives, technical contents, characteristics and accomplishments of the present invention.
