【０００６】[0006]
以下本考案に係る実施例の一例を図示しその構成を詳説する。 図１は端子板に実装したコンタクト１０とこれと接触し電気的接続を図るバッ テリ−パック（その他カセット式の電子パッケ−ジ等にも適用可能である）４０ とを示す。また図２及び図３は、コンタクトを実装したハウジング（図１の端子 板はバッテリパックを装着する機器本体の所定箇所に取り付ける）の断面を示す 。コンタクト１０は一般には複数個あり、図１の如く、所定の間隔をおいてハウ ジングの長手方向に整列される。 An example of an embodiment according to the present invention will be shown below and the configuration thereof will be described in detail. FIG. 1 shows a contact 10 mounted on a terminal plate and a battery pack 40 (which is also applicable to other cassette type electronic packages or the like) for contacting with the contact 10 for electrical connection. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views of a housing in which contacts are mounted (the terminal plate in FIG. 1 is attached to a predetermined position of the device body where the battery pack is mounted). Generally, there are a plurality of contacts 10, and as shown in FIG. 1, they are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the housing at a predetermined interval.
【０００７】 各コンタクト１０は、リーフスプリングとして作用する接点部１１と、線材３ ０を接続するための接続部１２と、該接点部と該接続部を連結するとともに該コ ンタクトをハウジングに固定するための固定部１３とからなる。図示実施例では 、接点部は外部に露出するよう設けてある。Each contact 10 has a contact portion 11 acting as a leaf spring, a connecting portion 12 for connecting the wire rod 30, a connecting portion and the connecting portion, and fixing the contact to a housing. And a fixing portion 13 for In the illustrated embodiment, the contact portion is provided so as to be exposed to the outside.
【０００８】 接点部１１は、バッテリ−パックを収納する空洞内に突きだし、該空洞内に収 納されたバッテリ−パックの底部に露出した電極と接触し電気的な接続を行う。The contact portion 11 projects into a cavity for accommodating the battery pack, contacts an electrode exposed at the bottom of the battery pack accommodated in the cavity, and makes an electrical connection.
【０００９】 固定部１３は、相対向する一対の側壁１３Ａを有し断面が略逆Ｕ字状を呈する 本体と、該本体から前記接点部の側に延び次いで下方に屈曲した係止腕１３Ｂと からなる。固定部の側壁１３Ａはそれぞれ開口１３ａを有する。The fixing portion 13 has a body having a pair of side walls 13A facing each other and a cross section having a substantially inverted U shape, and a locking arm 13B extending from the body to the contact portion side and then bent downward. Consists of. Each side wall 13A of the fixed portion has an opening 13a.
【００１０】 ハウジング２０は、前記コンタクトの固定部を受け入れ保持するための凹陥部 ２１と該コンタクトの係止腕と係合するための係合部２２とを有する。図示実施 例では、ハウジングの係合部は傾斜した壁面２２Ａを有する。また凹陥部の内壁 には、前記コンタクト固定部の開口と係合する突起２１Ａを設けてある。The housing 20 has a concave portion 21 for receiving and holding the fixed portion of the contact, and an engaging portion 22 for engaging with a locking arm of the contact. In the illustrated embodiment, the engagement portion of the housing has an inclined wall surface 22A. In addition, a projection 21A that engages with the opening of the contact fixing portion is provided on the inner wall of the recessed portion.
【００１１】 図４はコンタクトの接点部１１がバッテリ−パックの電極４１と接触し電気的 接続を行う様子を示す。バッテリ−パックを機器に装填するとその電極４１がコ ンタクトの接点部１１を押し込み、図示の如く接触状態で保持される。FIG. 4 shows a state in which the contact portion 11 of the contact comes into contact with the electrode 41 of the battery pack to make an electrical connection. When the battery pack is loaded into the device, its electrode 41 pushes the contact portion 11 of the contact and is held in the contact state as shown.
【００１２】[0012]
本願に係るコンタクト１０をハウジング２０に実装するには、まずコンタクト の固定部１３の相対向する一対の側壁１３Ａをハウジングの凹陥部２１内に嵌入 する。このとき側壁の開口１３ａが凹陥部の内壁に設けた突起２１Ａと係合する とともに、前記側壁が外側に拡開しようとするからコンタクトの固定部がハウジ ングの凹陥部内に固定保持される。なおこの場合、同時に、コンタクトの固定部 の係止腕１３Ｂがハウジングの係合部の傾斜した壁面２２Ａによって形成される 段部と係合する。 To mount the contact 10 according to the present application on the housing 20, first, the pair of side walls 13A of the fixed portion 13 of the contact facing each other are fitted into the recess 21 of the housing. At this time, the opening 13a of the side wall engages with the projection 21A provided on the inner wall of the recess, and the side wall tries to expand outward, so that the fixed portion of the contact is fixedly held in the recess of the housing. In this case, at the same time, the locking arm 13B of the fixed portion of the contact engages with the stepped portion formed by the inclined wall surface 22A of the engaging portion of the housing.
【００１３】[0013]
以上の如く、本願に係る接続構造は、コンタクト及びハウジングの構造を工夫 して、カシメ止めによらずに、単にコンタクトの固定部をハウジングの凹陥部内 に押し込むだけで該コンタクトをハウジングに確実に実装することができるから 、コンタクトの実装にかかる作業性の向上は著しい。 As described above, in the connection structure according to the present application, the contact and the housing structure is devised so that the contact is securely mounted on the housing by simply pushing the fixed part of the contact into the recessed part of the housing without using the crimping. Therefore, the workability of mounting the contacts is significantly improved.
