Patent number: 6116947Abstract: A contact element (2) has an arm portion (2A) present in the opening of a housing (1). A bearing portion (4) has concentric upper concave and lower convex bearing surfaces (4A) and (4B). A pressure member (6) has a receiving slot (8) for gradually receiving the bearing portion (4) as it is rotated toward the closed position. The receiving slot (8) has upper and lower inner surfaces (8A) and (8B) engaging the upper convex and lower straight bearing surfaces (4A) and (4B), respectively. The pressure portion (7) is positioned close to a line including the center of rotation and the end of the lower inner surface (8B).Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1998Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Assignee: Hirose Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ryuichi Takayasu

Patent number: 5904586Abstract: A flexible board electrical connector includes an insulating housing having an opening and a pair of holding sections on opposite sides of the opening; a plurality of contact elements having fulcrum sections and spring contact sections disposed in the opening; a pressure member attached to the holding sections for rotation between a closed position where it is close to the contact elements and an open position where it is spaced apart from the closed position; the insulating housing having receiving faces for supporting a leading portion of a flexible board; the pressure member having a pressure edge and bearing faces such that when the pressure member is turned to the closed position, the pressure edge depresses the flexible board between the spring contact sections and the receiving faces while the bearing faces engage the fulcrum sections of the contact elements thereby preventing separation between the pressure member and the contact elements.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1998Date of Patent: May 18, 1999Assignee: Hirose Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ryuichi Takayasu
