FIG. 1 illustrates a top view of a memory card according to my design;
FIG. 2 illustrates a bottom view thereof;
FIG. 3 illustrates a lateral view of the shorter edge thereof with a slightly thicker part where the memory card is located;
FIG. 4 illustrates a lateral view of the longer edge thereof with a slightly thicker part where the memory card is located;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged top view of the mini card element of the memory card, shown separately for clarity; and,
FIG. 6 is an enlarged bottom view of the mini card element of the memory card, shown separately for clarity.
Broken lines and portions contained within broken line are not claimed.
In a preferred embodiment, the nature of this product is a memory card for use with mobile phones. The design is in the form of a flat card, in which there is a smaller memory card with a field having several contacts. The memory card can be taken out of, e.g. broken out of, or unstuck from the body of the basic flat card.
