  • Publication number: 20230110303
    Abstract: Buttons (41A, 41B) have a button moving part (42) disposed in front of a circuit board (51) and allowed to move in a front-back direction, and guided parts (42e) moving in conjunction with the button moving part (42). The buttons (41A, 41B) cause the button moving part (42) to operate a switch (52) of the circuit board (51). Guide parts (21E, 21F) are disposed along the guided parts (42e) and restrict the direction in which the button moving part (42) moves. The guide parts (21E, 21F) and the guided parts (42e) have portions located back of a front surface (51a) of the circuit board (51). This structure effectively prevents the buttons from tilting when they are operated.

  • Patent number: 10553520
    Abstract: A leaf spring is disposed between a circuit board and a upper shield. The leaf spring biases a heat sink toward the circuit board through a connecting member. The leaf spring is not electrically connected to the upper shield. According to this structure, an integrated circuit and the heat sink can be contacted with each other with certainty. Further, generation of unnecessary radiation can be suppressed effectively.

  • Patent number: 9326405
    Abstract: A slide cover has a engaged portion formed thereon. A rotatable member includes a stopper portion which is abutted against the engaged portion so as to restrict a relative movement of the engaged portion of the slide cover when the slide cover is arranged at a closed position. The stopper portion is positioned away from a rotation center of the rotatable member, and the rotatable member rotates to allow the relative movement of the engaged portion when the stopper portion is pushed by the engaged portion. This makes it possible to increase an angle between an stopper surface formed on the stopper portion and a movement direction (right-left direction) of the engaged portion. As a result, the cover is stably held at the closed position.
