Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electronic device includes a housing, a socket which is placed in the housing and includes a first protruding member having a first terminal connectable to a first connector and a second connector, a second protruding member having a second terminal connectable to the second connector, and one recess which is formed around the first protruding member and the second protruding member and between the first protruding member and the second protruding member, and a tilt restraining member configured to restrain the first connector fitted with the first protruding member from tilting toward the second protruding member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electronic device comprising: a housing; a socket which is placed in the housing and includes a first protruding member having a first terminal connectable to a first connector and a second connector, a second protruding member having a second terminal connectable to the second connector, and one recess which is formed around the first protruding member and the second protruding member and between the first protruding member and the second protruding member; and a tilt restraining member configured to restrain the first connector from tilting toward the second protruding member. 2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing includes an opening configured to expose the recess to an outside of the housing, wherein the tilt restraining member is an access member which opens and closes at least a front surface of the second protruding member in the opening, and wherein the access member includes an abutment portion which abuts against the first connector when the first connector tilts toward the second protruding member. 3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing includes an opening configured to expose the recess to an outside of the housing, wherein the tilt restraining member is a movement mechanism which moves the socket relative to the housing to narrow an opening area of the socket in the opening. 4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the tilt restraining member is a cover member which covers a front surface defining the recess between the first protruding member and the second protruding member, and wherein the cover member includes an abutment portion which abuts against the first connector when the first connector tilts toward the second protruding member. 5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the tilt restraining member is a plate which presses against the first connector in a direction from the second protruding member toward the first protruding member, and wherein the plate includes an abutment portion which abuts against the first connector. 6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the tilt restraining member is a spacer placed around the second protruding member in the recess, and wherein the spacer includes an abutment portion which abuts against the first connector when the first connector tilts toward the second protruding member.
