  • Patent number: 7837482
    Abstract: A connecting-side connector is connected to a receiving-side connector. A main frame supports the receiving-side connector in such a manner that the receiving-side connector is movable in a connection direction. A control unit performs a control of a movement of the receiving-side connector in the connection direction and a release of the control each time a pressing force is applied to the connecting-side connector in the connection direction.

  • Publication number: 20090017662
    Abstract: A following control unit 30 is provided. When a connecting-side connector 120 included in a connecting electronic device 100 is connected with a receiving-side connector 20 disposed within a main frame 10 and supported so as to be movable in a connection direction, the control unit 30 controls a movement of the receiving-side connector 20 in a connection direction by applying a pressing force when connecting to the connecting-side connector 120 in the connection direction. The connecting electronic device 100 is a connection-subject. The control unit 30 performs a control by the pressing force when connecting being applied to the connecting-side connector 120 in the connection direction, when the connecting-side connector 120 and the receiving-side connector 20 are being connected.
