Patent number: 9699930Abstract: An electric device system includes a first unit and a second unit adjacent to each other. An elastically deformable first connecting terminal is provided in the first unit, and a second connecting terminal is provided in the second unit. When the first unit is assembled in the second unit, the first connecting terminal comes into contact with the second connecting terminal after sliding on an outer surface of a casing of the second unit. A bulging surface is provided in an exposed surface of the first connecting terminal, and a recess is provided in an exposed surface of the second connecting terminal. A part of the bulging surface and a part of an opening edge of the recess come into press-contact with each other by fitting a part of the bulging surface in the recess, thereby establishing electric conduction between the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2015Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Kazuyoshi Miura, Jun Yamane, Yoshimi Azuma, Shinya Iwasaki, Taisuke Yamada, Motoyuki Tomizu
