Abstract
Abstract A connection terminal structure of a cordless telephone or similar electronic equipment to which an instrument having a connector is connectable for measuring electrical characteristics of the equipment, writing information in a storage built in the equipment, and other similar purposes. The equipment has a casing (32) which includes a battery containing section (38). An opening (42) is formed through the bottom of the battery containing section in the deepest portion of the latter, while conductive terminal members (36) are provided on a printed circuit board which is mounted in the housing and are so positioned as to face the opening. When a cover (46) closing the battery containing section is removed, the connector of the instrument may be inserted in the battery containing section. Contact pins (50) provided on the connector (48) are movable into and out of contact with the conductive terminal members on the printed circuit board via the slot.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A connection terminal structure of electronic equipment having a casing, a printed circuit board mounted in said casing, and a battery containing section formed in said casing and having a battery inlet/outlet, comprising: an opening formed through a part of the casing which constitutes a bottom wall of the battery containing section and being covered by another part of said casing which constitutes an upper wall of said battery containing section; and conductive terminal members provided on the printed circuit board which is spaced apart from said bottom wall by a predetermined distance and being so positioned as to face said opening.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A connection terminal structure of electronic equipment having a casing, a printed circuit board mounted in said casing, and a battery containing section formed in said casing and having a battery inlet/outlet, comprising: an opening formed through a part of the casing which constitutes a bottom wall of the battery containing section and being covered by another part of said casing which constitutes an upper wall of said battery containing section; and conductive terminal members provided on the printed circuit board which is spaced apart from said bottom wall by a predetermined distance and being so positioned as to face said opening.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A structure as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a connector having contact pins which are individually engageable with said conductive terminal members on the printed circuit board when said connector is inserted in the battery containing section via the battery inlet/outlet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A structure as claimed in claim 2, wherein said conductive terminal members comprise conductive films which are arranged on the printed circuit board in a predetermined pattern.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
A structure as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a sleeve formed integrally with a part of the housing which surrounds said opening and having a tip being held in contact with the printed circuit board to maintain said predetermined distance.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A structure as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a cover for closing the battery inlet/outlet of the battery containing section.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A structure as claimed in claim 2, wherein said contact pins of said connectors are slidable into and out of contact with said conductive terminal members.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
A structure as claimed in claim 6, wherein said connector further comprises a slider for maintaining said contact pins in contact with said conductive terminal members.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
111 words
A connection terminal structure of electronic equipment having a casing, a printed circuit board mounted in said casing, and a battery containing section formed in said casing and having a battery inlet/outlet, comprising: an opening formed through a part of the casing which constitutes a bottom wall of the battery containing section and being covered by another part of said casing which constitutes an upper wall of said battery containing section; and conductive terminal members provided on the printed circuit board which is spaced apart from said bottom wall by a predetermined distance and being so positioned as to face said upper wall through an aperture provided on said bottom wall.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
111 words
A connection terminal structure of electronic equipment having a casing, a printed circuit board mounted in said casing, and a battery containing section formed in said casing and having a battery inlet/outlet, comprising: an opening formed through a part of the casing which constitutes a bottom wall of the battery containing section and being covered by another part of said casing which constitutes an upper wall of said battery containing section; and conductive terminal members provided on the printed circuit board which is spaced apart from said bottom wall by a predetermined distance and being so positioned as to face said upper wall through an aperture provided on said bottom wall.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
111 words
A connection terminal structure of electronic equipment having a casing, a printed circuit board mounted in said casing, and a battery containing section formed in said casing and having a battery inlet/outlet, comprising: an opening formed through a part of the casing which constitutes a bottom wall of the battery containing section and being covered by another part of said casing which constitutes an upper wall of said battery containing section: an aperture provided on the part of said bottom wall and facing said upper wall; and conductive terminal members provided on the printed circuit board which is spaced apart from said aperture on said bottom wall by a predetermined distance.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
111 words
A connection terminal structure of electronic equipment having a casing, a printed circuit board mounted in said casing, and a battery containing section formed in said casing and having a battery inlet/outlet, comprising: an opening formed through a part of the casing which constitutes a bottom wall of the battery containing section and being covered by another part of said casing which constitutes an upper wall of said battery containing section: an aperture provided on the part of said bottom wall and facing said upper wall; and conductive terminal members provided on the printed circuit board which is spaced apart from said aperture on said bottom wall by a predetermined distance.
