ABSTRACT

A retaining mechanism consists of a seat including a curved support portion
connected to a coupling portion for extending through an engaging slot on a
substrate, and a clamp member slidably assembled to the seat. The coupling
portion has an end provided with a retaining protrusion for protruding into a
first end of the engaging slot and another end forming an elastic clamping
section pressing on a bottom of the substrate. The seat further includes a
holding section located corresponding to the retaining protrusion and a
pressing section of the clamp member, so that a clamping opening is formed
between the pressing section and the holding section for clamping an
electronic card thereto. The holding section has a beveled outer edge
retreated toward the support portion and the coupling portion to allow
observation of the engagement of the retaining protrusion with the engaging
slot from a top of the substrate.
