Abstract: A retention mechanism comprises a post and a movable arm slidingly secured to the post. The post includes a plurality of serrations formed along an elongated side thereof. The movable arm includes a canister adapted to enclose and latch with the serrations of the post, and a securing portion extending from the canister for securing an upper edge of an edge card. The canister forms a pair of stoppers in two opposite holes defined in an outside wall thereof. Each stopper includes a lever and two ribs supporting the lever in the sidewall of the canister. Each lever forms an inwardly extending protrusion thereon. When lower ends of the levers are pushed inwardly toward each other, the levers pivot about the ribs and the protrusions move outwards from the serrations of the post, allowing the movable arm to slide along the elongated side of the post. When the movable arm reaches a desired height corresponding to the height of the upper edge of the edge card, the lower ends of the levers are released, allowing the protrusions to move inwardly to latch with the serrations, thereby securing the edge card in place.

Abstract translation: 保持机构包括柱和滑动地固定到柱的可动臂。 该柱包括沿其细长侧形成的多个锯齿。 可移动臂包括适于包围和锁定柱的锯齿的罐，以及从罐延伸的用于固定边缘卡片的上边缘的固定部分。 罐在其外壁中限定的两个相对的孔中形成一对止动件。 每个止动器包括杠杆和两个肋，所述肋支撑在所述罐的侧壁中的所述杠杆。 每个杠杆在其上形成向内延伸的突起。 当杠杆的下端向内相对推动时，杠杆围绕肋枢转，并且突起从柱的锯齿向外移动，允许可动臂沿柱的细长侧滑动。 当可移动臂达到对应于边缘卡片上边缘高度的所需高度时，杠杆的下端被释放，允许突起向内移动以与锯齿状闩锁，从而将边缘卡片固定就位。

Abstract: A ZIF connector comprises an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals received in the housing, an insulative cover plate curvedly slidably mounted on the housing having a pressing plate for pressing an FPC against the terminals, an actuation mechanism for curvedly slidably connecting the cover plate and the housing and two locking mechanisms for securely locking the cover plate to the housing. The housing comprises a pair of standing walls at both ends thereof. The cover plate comprises a pair of arms formed at opposite ends thereof. The actuation mechanism comprises a pair of arcuate channels defined in the two standing walls and a pair of corresponding arcuate ribs formed on opposite arms of the cover plate and slidingly moveable in the arcuate channels when the cover plate is curvedly slidably moved relative to the housing.
