Locking member for locking a card with respect to a shelf

Abstract

A locking member functions to lock a card with respect to a shelf having an end with a groove upon completing a card loading process into the shelf. The locking member is provided with (1) a connecting section joined to the card, (2) a resilient section extending from the connecting section and having resilience, and (3) an engagement section formed at an end of the resilient section and having a shape engagable into the groove. The locking member is also provided with an extension section extending from the engagement section. When the extension section is pressed, a position of the engagement section is lowered due to shrinkage of the resilient section.
