Abstract

A board connection structure including a wiring board having a contact point section provided at one end portion and opposed to a switch button, and a holding member to which the wiring board is attached with flat surfaces of the contact point section and the connection section on the same surface intersecting with each other by the folding of the wiring board.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A board connection structure comprising:
a wiring board having a contact point section that is provided at one end portion and that is opposed to a switch button and a connection section that is provided at the other end portion on the same surface where the contact point section is provided and that is opposed to a circuit board, wherein the contact point section and the connection section are electrically connected to each other;
a holding member to which the wiring board is attached with flat surfaces of the contact point section and the connection section on the same surface intersecting with each other by folding of the wiring board, wherein the holding member has a contact point arrangement section where the contact point section is arranged opposing the switch button with the flat surfaces of the contact point section and the connection section on the same surface intersecting with each other by the folding of the wiring board, and a holding groove where the connection section is inserted and exposed opposing the circuit board; and
a device case having an attaching section where the holding member attached with the wiring board is mounted,
wherein the switch button is provided in a side surface portion of the device case and is adapted to protrude toward an outside of the device case, wherein the circuit board is arranged in the device case in a manner to be orthogonal to the side surface portion of the device case, and wherein the holding member is mounted in the device case with the contact point section of the wiring board opposing the switch button and the connection section opposing the circuit board, and
wherein the connection section of the wiring board is electrically connected to the circuit board in a state where the holding member is mounted to the attaching section in the device case.

2. The board connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the connection section and the circuit board are electrically connected to each other by a spring member.

3. The board connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the holding member includes a notch section which exposes the connection section with the connection section opposing the circuit board.

4. The board connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the holding member includes a supporting section which supports the circuit board with the connection section opposing the circuit board.

5. An electronic device comprising:
a wiring board having a contact point section that is provided at one end portion and that is opposed to a switch button and a connection section that is provided at the other end portion on the same surface where the contact point section is provided and that is opposed to a circuit board, wherein the contact point section and the connection section are electrically connected to each other;
a holding member to which the wiring board is attached with flat surfaces of the contact point section and the connection section on the same surface intersecting with each other by folding of the wiring board, wherein the holding member has a contact point arrangement section where the contact point section is arranged opposing the switch button with the flat surfaces of the contact point section and the connection section on the same surface intersecting with each other by the folding of the wiring board, and a holding groove where the connection section is inserted and exposed opposing the circuit board; and
a device case having an attaching section where the holding member attached with the wiring board is mounted,
wherein the switch button is provided in a side surface portion of the device case and is adapted to protrude toward an outside of the device case, wherein the circuit board is arranged in the device case in a manner to be orthogonal to the side surface portion of the device case, and wherein the holding member is mounted in the device case with the contact point section of the wiring board opposing the switch button and the connection section opposing the circuit board, and
wherein the connection section of the wiring board is electrically connected to the circuit board in a state where the holding member is mounted to the attaching section in the device case.

6. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the connection section and the circuit board are electrically connected to each other by a spring member.

7. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the holding member includes a notch section which exposes the connection section with the connection section opposing the circuit board.

8. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the holding member includes a supporting section which supports the circuit board with the connection section opposing the circuit board.

9. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the circuit board and the connection section of the wiring board are electrically connected to each other by a spring member when the circuit board is attached to the device case with the holding member attached with the wiring board being arranged in the device case.

10. The electronic device according to claim 5 , further comprising an optical reading section which reads a barcode, wherein the switch button is a trigger switch for the optical reading section to perform a reading operation.

11. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the optical reading section is arranged on the circuit board, and the switch button is electrically connected to the optical reading section via the wiring board and the circuit board.

12. The electronic device according to claim 5 , further comprising a display section which displays information, wherein the circuit board is provided to be parallel to the display section.
