Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A mount-to-contact type contact comprising a stationary terminal, a swinging contact element swingably supported by said stationary terminal, and a spring adapted to resiliently hold on swinging end of said swinging contact element in a swinging direction, the other swinging end serving as a contact end on which a terminal of an electric part is to be mounted to realize a contact relation, said contact end formed by said other swinging end being swung in a swinging direction to swing said one swinging end against said spring so that contact pressure with said terminal of said electric part mounted on said contact end can be obtained by reaction of said spring portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A mount-to-contact type contact comprising a stationary terminal, a swinging contact element swingably supported by said stationary terminal, and a spring adapted to resiliently hold on swinging end of said swinging contact element in a swinging direction, the other swinging end serving as a contact end on which a terminal of an electric part is to be mounted to realize a contact relation, said contact end formed by said other swinging end being swung in a swinging direction to swing said one swinging end against said spring so that contact pressure with said terminal of said electric part mounted on said contact end can be obtained by reaction of said spring portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
112 words
A mount-to-contact type contact comprising a stationary terminal, a swinging contact element swingably supported by said stationary terminal, and a spring adapted to resiliently hold one swinging end of said swinging contact element in a swinging direction, the other swinging end serving as a contact end on which a terminal of an electric part is to be mounted to realize a contact relation, said contact end formed by said other swinging end being swung in a swinging direction to swing said one swinging end against said spring so that contact pressure with said terminal of said electric part mounted on said contact end can be obtained by reaction of said spring portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
112 words
A mount-to-contact type contact comprising a stationary terminal, a swinging contact element swingably supported by said stationary terminal, and a spring adapted to resiliently hold one swinging end of said swinging contact element in a swinging direction, the other swinging end serving as a contact end on which a terminal of an electric part is to be mounted to realize a contact relation, said contact end formed by said other swinging end being swung in a swinging direction to swing said one swinging end against said spring so that contact pressure with said terminal of said electric part mounted on said contact end can be obtained by reaction of said spring portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A mount-to-contact type contact as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein said swinging contact element is a rigid body.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
A mount-to-contact type contact as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein a protruded portion formed on an upper end of said stationary terminal is supported in a recess portion formed in said swinging contact element, to thereby form a swinging fulcrum.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
A mount-to-contact type contact as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein a protruded portion formed on said swinging contact element is supported on a planar portion formed on an upper end of said stationary terminal, to thereby form a swinging fulcrum.
