Patent attributes
The present invention provides an electronic apparatus which includes: a card slot into which a portable storage medium such as a card is removably inserted and which accesses the inserted portable storage medium; and an ejection mechanism section which is slidably operated to move the storage medium inserted in the card slot in an eject direction. The ejection mechanism section includes: a sliding member which is in an L-shape in cross section and affects the slot by sliding in a direction in which a ridge of the L shape extends; and an operation member which transmits a sliding operation made thereon to the sliding member in response to the sliding operation, thereby causing the sliding member to slide. This makes it possible to eject a card inserted into the slot while ensuring the strength and avoiding increase in size of components.
