Abstract
Abstract A circuit board is provided with extending portions having terminal patterns formed thereon. A housing contains the circuit board while permitting the extending portions to protrude. A mother board has, formed therein, through holes in which the extending portions are to be inserted, having, formed thereon, wiring pattern that is to be electrically connected to the terminal patterns, and permitting the extending portions to be inserted in the through holes so that the housing is placed thereon. The circuit board is provided with a protruded portion which extends separately from the extending portions and pushes the terminal patterns onto the wiring pattern of the mother board. The mother board is provided with an insertion hole in which the protruded portion is to be inserted being slightly deviated from the positions of the through holes in which the extending portions are to be inserted.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A structure for mounting an electronic circuit unit comprising: a circuit board provided, on one end side thereof, with extending portions having first wiring patterns formed on surfaces thereof; a housing that contains the circuit board while permitting the extending portions to protrude outward; and a mother board having, formed therein, through holes in which the extending portions are to be inserted, having, formed thereon, a second wiring pattern that is to be electrically connected to the first wiring patterns, and permitting the extending portions to be inserted in the through holes so that the housing is placed thereon; wherein the circuit board is provided with a protruded portion which extends separately from the extending portions on one end side, and laterally pushes the first wiring patterns onto the second wiring pattern.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
132 words
A structure for mounting an electronic circuit unit comprising: a circuit board provided, on one end side thereof, with extending portions having first wiring patterns formed on surfaces thereof; a housing that contains the circuit board while permitting the extending portions to protrude outward; and a mother board having, formed therein, through holes in which the extending portions are to be inserted, having, formed thereon, a second wiring pattern that is to be electrically connected to the first wiring patterns, and permitting the extending portions to be inserted in the through holes so that the housing is placed thereon; wherein the circuit board is provided with a protruded portion which extends separately from the extending portions on one end side, and laterally pushes the first wiring patterns onto the second wiring pattern.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
A structure for mounting an electronic unit according to claim 1 , wherein the mother board provides an insertion hole in which the protruded portion is to be inserted and by forcibly inserting the protruded portion in the insertion hole, the first wiring patterns on the extending portions are pushed onto the second wiring pattern.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
66 words
A structure for mounting an electronic circuit unit according to claim 2 , wherein the circuit board is provided with at least a pair of extending portions on one end side, a pair of through holes are formed in the mother board so as to be corresponded to the pair of extending portions, and the protruded portion is located midway between the pair of extending portions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
A structure for mounting an electronic circuit unit according to claim 2 , wherein the insertion hole in which the protruded portion is to be inserted is formed at a position deviated in a direction in which the first wiring patterns are pushed onto the second wiring pattern from positions of the through holes in which the extending portions are to be inserted.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
A structure for mounting an electronic circuit unit according to claim 2 , wherein the protruded portion is tapered on a surface of a side opposite to a surface of a side on where the first wiring patterns of the circuit board are pushed onto the second wiring pattern.
