A housing is provided with an eject lever 3 for ejecting a card. The eject lever 3 holds a locking member 4 to be swingable around a support shaft 13. The housing is provided with a cam portion 7. The locking member 4 is provided with a cam follower portion 14 to be engaged with the cam portion 7 and a locking portion 15 for locking the card to inhibit its release.
