Electrical connection construction for electronic timepiece

Claim 1

An electronic timepiece assembly comprising a switch upper plate having a contact pattern formed on the lower surface thereof, said contact pattern including a plurality of spaced terminals, a connector having a plurality of spaced electrical conductors engaging said terminals at the upper ends of said conductors and adapted to engage a module at the lower ends of said conductors, said switch upper plate contact pattern further including a plurality of spaced terminal portions, a switch lower base having a plurality of spaced electrically conductive elements on the upper surface thereof, each of said conductive elements being disposed in alignment with a corresponding pair of said terminal portions on said switch upper plate, and a plurality of projections operable from the outside so as to be resiliently deformed and bring a selected pair of said spaced terminal portions and a corresponding one of said conductive elements into engagement to complete a selected circuit, said electronic timepiece assembly further including a case within which said switch upper plate and said switch lower plate are disposed, a plurality of actuating members extending externally of said case for effecting deformation of said projections, one of said actuating members being arranged to move generally parallel to said switch upper plate.
