The spring connector 6 includes a connector housing 60 made of an insulating resin and a predetermined number of terminal pins 65 (the same number as the conductor portions 30 of the adapter 2). As shown in FIG. 9, an elastic ring 7 (rubber or the like) as an annular elastic body is provided around the connector housing 60. As shown in FIG. 10, a connector insertion hole 58 is provided on the bottom surface of the concave portion 56 of the base portion 52, and a stepped portion 59 is formed around the connector insertion hole 58. The spring connector 6 is inserted into the connector insertion hole 58 from below, and the elastic ring 7 is fitted (press-fitted) into the stepped portion 59 from above to seal the connector insertion hole 58 in a watertight manner. The insertion depth of the spring connector 6 into the connector insertion hole 58 is defined by the flange portion 61 of the connector housing 60. A rear cover 54 extends below the connector housing 60 and supports the base end surface (lower surface) of the connector housing 60. A predetermined number of terminal insertion holes 64 are provided in the connector housing 60, and each terminal pin 65 is inserted (press-fitted) into each terminal insertion hole 64 and fixed. The distal end portion 66 of each terminal pin 65 can dip into the proximal end portion 67 and is urged in the protruding direction by a spring (not shown). Ribs 62 (partition walls) as convex portions are provided between the terminal pins 65 (between the tip portions 66) protruding from the upper surface of the connector housing 60. Further, the upper surface of the connector housing 60 is provided with a convex portion 63 that fits into the hole portion 25 of the adapter 2, and the adapter 2 and the connector 6 are positioned by the fitting.

図１２は、携帯機器１を保持した状態の携帯機器用ホルダ５の斜視図である。図１３（Ａ）〜（Ｃ）は、携帯機器用ホルダ５への携帯機器１の装着過程説明図である。なお、図１３（Ａ）〜（Ｃ）において携帯機器用ホルダ５の前方支持部５１を部分的に省略して示している。後方支持部５３にはスライドガイド溝７１が形成され（前方支持部５１にも同様に不図示のスライドガイド溝が形成され）、スライドカバー５５が摺動自在に支持される。携帯機器１をホルダ５に装着する際には、スライドカバー５５を開けておき、携帯機器用ホルダ５の上部開口から携帯機器１を挿入し、その後スライドカバー５５を閉じる。スライドカバー５５の下面には付勢手段としての板バネ部７０が一体に設けられ、携帯機器１を下方（スプリングコネクタ６側）に付勢する。   FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the portable device holder 5 in a state where the portable device 1 is held. FIGS. 13A to 13C are explanatory diagrams of the mounting process of the portable device 1 to the portable device holder 5. 13A to 13C, the front support portion 51 of the portable device holder 5 is partially omitted. A slide guide groove 71 is formed in the rear support portion 53 (a slide guide groove (not shown) is similarly formed in the front support portion 51), and the slide cover 55 is slidably supported. When the portable device 1 is attached to the holder 5, the slide cover 55 is opened, the portable device 1 is inserted from the upper opening of the portable device holder 5, and then the slide cover 55 is closed. A leaf spring portion 70 as an urging means is integrally provided on the lower surface of the slide cover 55, and urges the portable device 1 downward (spring connector 6 side).

図１４（Ａ）は、携帯機器１のアダプタ２と携帯機器用ホルダ５のスプリングコネクタ６との接続部を断面とした拡大正面図（接続前）である。図１４（Ｂ）は、同拡大正面図（接続後）である。図１５（Ａ）は、同拡大側面図（接続前）である。図１５（Ｂ）は、同拡大側面図（接続後）である。これらの図に示すように、アダプタ２を降下させてアダプタ２の凹部２４をスプリングコネクタ６のコネクタハウジング６０に被せることで、アダプタ２の導体部３０の第１の電極面３１と、スプリングコネクタ６の端子ピン６５の先端部６６とが接触して相互に電気的に接続される。端子ピン６５は第１の電極面３１に押されて収縮し先端部６６が後退する。なお、４本ある端子ピン６５のうち大径の２本が電源用で、小径の２本が信号用である。すなわち、携帯機器１と携帯機器用ホルダ５との間で電力供給や信号送受信が可能である。また、図示は省略したが各々の端子ピン６５の基端面には例えばケーブルが半田付け等により電気的に接続され、このケーブルにより端子ピン６５は不図示の基板に電気的に接続される。弾性リング７はアダプタハウジング２０に全周に渡って押圧される。これによりアダプタハウジング２０とコネクタハウジング６０との隙間から内部に水が進入することを防止できる（アダプタハウジング２０とコネクタハウジング６０との間に水密空間を形成できる）。   FIG. 14A is an enlarged front view (before connection) in which a connection portion between the adapter 2 of the mobile device 1 and the spring connector 6 of the holder 5 for mobile device is taken as a cross section. FIG. 14B is an enlarged front view (after connection). FIG. 15A is an enlarged side view (before connection). FIG. 15B is an enlarged side view (after connection). As shown in these drawings, the adapter 2 is lowered and the concave portion 24 of the adapter 2 is put on the connector housing 60 of the spring connector 6, so that the first electrode surface 31 of the conductor portion 30 of the adapter 2 and the spring connector 6 are covered. The terminal pins 65 of the terminal pins 65 are in contact with each other and are electrically connected to each other. The terminal pin 65 is pushed by the first electrode surface 31 and contracts, and the tip end portion 66 retracts. Of the four terminal pins 65, two of the large diameters are for power supply and two of the small diameters are for signals. That is, power supply and signal transmission / reception can be performed between the portable device 1 and the portable device holder 5. Although not shown, a cable is electrically connected to the base end surface of each terminal pin 65 by soldering, for example, and the terminal pin 65 is electrically connected to a substrate (not shown) by this cable. The elastic ring 7 is pressed against the adapter housing 20 over the entire circumference. Thus, it is possible to prevent water from entering through the gap between the adapter housing 20 and the connector housing 60 (a watertight space can be formed between the adapter housing 20 and the connector housing 60).

図１６（Ａ）は、携帯機器１を保持した状態の携帯機器用ホルダ５をスタンド８に固定した状態の前方斜視図である。図１６（Ｂ）は、同後方斜視図である。図１７（Ａ）は、スタンド８と携帯機器用ホルダ５とを分離した状態の前方斜視図である。図１７（Ｂ）は、同後方斜視図である。スタンド８のボタン８１を押して一対の爪８３を寄せた状態で携帯機器用ホルダ５の背面の係止孔８４に爪８３を挿入し、その後ボタン８１を離すことで、爪８３が係止孔８４に引っ掛かり、スタンド８に携帯機器用ホルダ５を固定できる。また、スタンド８のネジ８２を緩めることで携帯機器用ホルダ５の首振り角度を調節できる。スタンド８は、図示の例では車載用であり、底面は粘着性を有し例えば車のダッシュボードの上面に接着固定される。なおスタンド８の構成は周知なのでこれ以上の詳細な説明は省略する。   FIG. 16A is a front perspective view of a state in which the portable device holder 5 holding the portable device 1 is fixed to the stand 8. FIG. 16B is a rear perspective view of the same. FIG. 17A is a front perspective view of the stand 8 and the portable device holder 5 separated from each other. FIG. 17B is a rear perspective view of the same. When the button 81 of the stand 8 is pressed and the pair of claws 83 are brought close together, the claw 83 is inserted into the engagement hole 84 on the back surface of the portable device holder 5 and then the button 81 is released. The portable device holder 5 can be fixed to the stand 8. Further, the swing angle of the portable device holder 5 can be adjusted by loosening the screw 82 of the stand 8. The stand 8 is for in-vehicle use in the illustrated example, and the bottom surface has adhesiveness, and is bonded and fixed to, for example, the upper surface of a dashboard of a car. Since the structure of the stand 8 is well known, further detailed description is omitted.

本実施の形態によれば、下記の効果を奏することができる。   According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.

(1) 各々の導体部３０が第１の電極面３１及び第２の電極面３２を有するため、携帯機器用ホルダ５のスプリングコネクタ６の仕様が異なっても柔軟に対応できる。例えば図１８に二点鎖線で示すように斜めに突出する端子ピン７２の場合、第１の電極面３１では接触を図るのが困難であるが、本実施の形態では第２の電極面３２により好適に接触を図ることができる。 (1) Since each conductor part 30 has the 1st electrode surface 31 and the 2nd electrode surface 32, even if the specification of the spring connector 6 of the holder 5 for portable devices differs, it can respond flexibly. For example, in the case of the terminal pin 72 projecting obliquely as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 18, it is difficult to make contact with the first electrode surface 31, but in the present embodiment, the second electrode surface 32 Contact can be suitably achieved.

(2) 従来は携帯機器用ホルダの防水は特に考慮されてこなかったが、本実施の形態では弾性リング７を設けたことでコネクタ挿入孔５８が水密封止され、さらにアダプタハウジング２０とコネクタハウジング６０との間も水密封止される（水密空間が形成される）ため、防水性が高められる。特に車載用の場合は振動する車内で飲み物などがこぼれることも多いため高い防水性が求められるが、本実施の形態ではこうした用途にも適合する。 (2) Conventionally, the waterproofing of the holder for the portable device has not been particularly taken into consideration, but in this embodiment, the connector insertion hole 58 is watertightly sealed by providing the elastic ring 7, and the adapter housing 20 and the connector housing are further sealed. Since watertight sealing is also performed with respect to 60 (watertight space is formed), waterproofness is enhanced. In particular, in the case of in-vehicle use, drinks and the like are often spilled in a vibrating vehicle, and thus high waterproofness is required. However, this embodiment is suitable for such use.

(3) コネクタハウジング６０の上面から突出した端子ピン６５間にリブ６２が設けられるため、仮に水が浸入しても、端子ピン６５間の短絡が防止される。 (3) Since the rib 62 is provided between the terminal pins 65 protruding from the upper surface of the connector housing 60, even if water enters, a short circuit between the terminal pins 65 is prevented.

(4) アダプタハウジング２０に導体部３０を挿入するだけでアダプタ２を組み立てられるため、インサート成型と比較して工程が簡易である。 (4) Since the adapter 2 can be assembled simply by inserting the conductor portion 30 into the adapter housing 20, the process is simple compared to insert molding.

以上、実施の形態を例に本発明を説明したが、実施の形態の各構成要素や各処理プロセスには請求項に記載の範囲で種々の変形が可能であることは当業者に理解されるところである。以下、変形例について触れる。   The present invention has been described above by taking the embodiment as an example.
