It is a figure which shows a state.

  FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of the connector portion of FIG.

  In the third embodiment, the first connector 200a2 provided on the game board 200 which is the first part and the second connector 104a2 provided on the main body 104 which is the second part are connected, and the first The structure which connects the 3rd connector 200a1 provided in the game board 200 which is these components, and the 4th connector 104a1 provided in the main body 104 which is the 2nd components is shown.

  The first connector 200a2 comes into contact with the game board 200 at its contact surface 200a2s and is electrically connected and mounted.

  Between the second connector 104a2 and the main body 104, a connector connecting portion 104b2 is provided. The second connector 104a2 is in contact with the connector connecting portion 104b2 at its contact surface 104a2s, and the second connector 104a2 is electrically connected to the main body 104 via the connector connecting portion 104b2.

  Between the third connector 200a1 and the game board 200, a connector connection portion 200b1 is provided. The third connector 200a1 is in contact with the connector connecting portion 200b1 at the contact surface 200a1s, and the third connector 200a1 is mounted on the game board 200 by being electrically connected via the connector connecting portion 200b1.

  The fourth connector 104a1 is in contact with the main body 104 at its contact surface 104a1s and is electrically connected and mounted.

  The main body 104 has a support portion 104 d that rotatably supports one end of the game board 200 and a housing portion 104 e that houses the game board 200. The support portion 104d has a protruding portion 104c that holds down one end of the inserted game board 200 so as not to come off. The game board 200 having one end inserted into the support portion 104d is rotated around the one end to be opened and closed. It is possible. When the game board 200 is closed, the game board 200 is housed in the housing portion 104 e of the main body 104.

  By closing the game board 200, the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 are pressed and connected, and the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1 are pressed and connected. When the game board 200 is opened, the connection between the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 and the connection between the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1 are released.

  Here, considering the distance from the support portion 104d to each connector, the distance L1 (see FIG. 9B) from the support portion 104d to the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 is as follows. The distance is shorter than the distance L2 (see FIG. 9B) to the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1. In this case, when the game board 200 is closed, the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 are first contacted, and the next contact is the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1. It is. In the case of the first contact, the wobble between the game board 200 and the main body 104 is large, and there is a momentum for closing and the possibility of damage is high. In contrast, in the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1, contact and connection between the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 proceed, and the game board 200 and the main body 104 are wobbled or closed. Therefore, the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1 are less likely to be damaged than the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2.

  The distance from the support portion 104d to the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 may be longer than the distance from the support portion 104d to the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1, In this case, the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1 are more likely to be damaged than the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2.

Further, the predetermined surface of the game board 200 as the first component is parallel to the contact surface 200a2s of the first connector 200a2, and is the surface farthest from the contact surface 200a2s on the opposite side to the first connector 200a2. Then, from this predetermined surface, the contact portion of the first connector 200a2 that comes into contact with the second connector 104a2 (the first contact portion when the player attempts to close the game board 200 may be used, or the game board 200 is closed. The height of the first electrode may be H1 (see FIG. 10).
Further, the predetermined surface of the main body 104 that is the second component is parallel to the contact surface 104a2s of the second connector 104a2 and is the surface farthest from the contact surface 104a2s on the opposite side to the second connector 104a2. At this time, from this predetermined surface, the contact portion that contacts the first connector 200a2 in the second connector 104a2 via the connector connection portion 104b2 (the first contact position when trying to close the game board 200, The height may be H2 (see FIG. 10) until the electrode portion that contacts first when the game board 200 is to be closed.
Further, the predetermined surface of the game board 200 as the first component is parallel to the contact surface 200a1s of the third connector 200a1, and is the surface farthest from the contact surface 200a1s on the opposite side to the third connector 200a1. Then, from this predetermined surface, the contact portion that contacts the fourth connector 104a1 in the third connector 200a1 via the connector connection portion 200b1 (the first contact point when the game board 200 is to be closed may be used. , It may be the electrode portion that contacts first when the game board 200 is to be closed.) Until the height is H3 (see FIG. 10),
Further, the predetermined surface of the main body 104 which is the second component is parallel to the contact surface 104a1s of the fourth connector 104a1 and is the surface farthest from the contact surface 104a1s on the opposite side to the fourth connector 104a1. Sometimes, from this predetermined surface, the contact portion of the fourth connector 104a1 that makes contact with the third connector 200a1 (the first contact portion when the game board 200 is to be closed may be used, or the game board 200 may be closed. If the height is up to H4 (see FIG. 10),
If the distance from the support portion 104d to each connector is the same, this higher height connector is more likely to break.

  Accordingly, in this example, the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 are more likely to be damaged because the second connector 104a2 protrudes and is higher in height. Recognize.

  From this, if the second connector 104a2 is inspected and is normal, the first connector 200a2, the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1 are also normal, and it is not necessary to further inspect these. There is a case.

  The first part and the second part (for example, the main body 104) are used as the predetermined surface of the first part that serves as a reference for the height of the connector provided on the first part (for example, the game board 200). The first part may be a surface that comes into contact with the second part when the corresponding connectors are assembled and connected. Of the connectors provided in the first component, the connector protruding to the second component side with respect to the predetermined surface is more likely to be damaged.

  Similarly, the second part and the first part (for example, the game board 200) are used as the predetermined surface of the second part that serves as a reference for the height of the connector provided on the second part (for example, the main body 104). The second component may be a surface that contacts the first component when the corresponding connectors are connected to each other. Of the connectors provided in the second component, the connector protruding to the first component side with respect to the predetermined surface is more likely to be damaged.

FIG. 14C is a rear view of the board 200, and FIG. 14C is an enlarged view showing a portion surrounded by a circle D of a one-dot chain line shown in FIG.

  In the third embodiment, the first connector 104a3 provided on the main body 104, which is the first component, and the second connector 200a3 provided on the game board 200, which is the second component, are connected, and the first connector The structure which connects the 3rd connector 104a4 provided in the main body 104 which is these parts, and the 4th connector 200a4 provided in the game board 200 which is the 2nd parts is shown.

  The first connector 104a3 is in contact with the main body 104 at its contact surface 104a3s and is electrically connected and mounted.

  Between the second connector 200a3 and the game board 200, a connector connecting portion 200b3 is provided. The second connector 200a3 is in contact with the connector connection portion 200b3 at the contact surface 200a3s, and the second connector 200a3 is mounted on the game board 200 by being electrically connected via the connector connection portion 200b3.

  Between the third connector 104a4 and the main body 104, a connector connecting portion 104b4 is provided. The third connector 104a4 is in contact with the connector connecting portion 104b4 at the contact surface 104a4s, and the third connector 104a4 is electrically connected to the main body 104 via the connector connecting portion 104b4 and mounted.

  The fourth connector 200a4 comes into contact with the game board 200 at its contact surface 200a4s and is electrically connected and mounted.

  The main body 104 has a support portion 104 d that rotatably supports one end of the game board 200 and a housing portion 104 e that houses the game board 200. The support portion 104d has a protruding portion 104c that holds down one end of the inserted game board 200 so as not to come off. The game board 200 having one end inserted into the support portion 104d is rotated around the one end to be opened and closed. It is possible. When the game board 200 is closed, the game board 200 is housed in the housing portion 104 e of the main body 104.

  By closing the game board 200, the first connector 104a3 and the second connector 200a3 are pressed and connected, and the third connector 104a4 and the fourth connector 200a4 are pressed and connected. When the game board 200 is opened, the connection between the first connector 104a3 and the second connector 200a3 and the connection between the third connector 104a4 and the fourth connector 200a4 are released.

  Here, referring to FIGS. 14B and 14C, the length of the long side of the connection surface of the second connector 200a3 (the length of the side in contact with the connection partner connector) L4 is the fourth length. It is shorter than the length L3 of the long side in the connection surface of the connector 200a4. If the length of the long side of the connection surface, that is, the length of the side that contacts simultaneously with the connector of the connection partner is long, the contact and impact of collision when connecting the connectors may be dispersed and may not be easily damaged.

  Therefore, in this example, the length of the long side of the connection surface of the second connector 200a3 is shorter than the length of the long side of the connection surface of the fourth connector 200a4, and the first connector 104a3 and the second connector 200a3. In the first connector 104a3 and the second connector 200a3, the second connector 200a3 protrudes and is higher in height than the second connector 200a3. It can be seen that 200a3 has the highest possibility of breakage. Even when the distance from the support portion 104d to each connector is taken into consideration, the distance from the support portion 104d to the first connector 104a3 and the second connector 200a3 is the same as that of the third connector 104a4 and the fourth connector. Since it is shorter than the distance to the connector 200a4, it can be seen from this that the second connector 200a3 is most likely to be damaged.

  From this, if the second connector 200a3 is inspected and is normal, the first connector 104a3, the third connector 104a4 and the fourth connector 200a4 are also normal, and it is not necessary to further inspect these. There is a case.
