The connecting main body portion 41 is configured by a first horizontal portion 45 that extends horizontally away from the optical axis direction, an inclined portion 46 that is inclined to the object side in the vicinity of the optical axis direction, and a second horizontal portion 47. It extends horizontally on the side close to the optical axis.

翻折部42係隔著連結本體部41配置於固定部30之相反側的部分。翻折部42係連接於作為連結本體部41之接 近光軸方向側的端部之第2水平部47,且朝向被拍攝物方向側翻折180度而彎曲所形成。 The folded portion 42 is disposed at a portion on the opposite side of the fixed portion 30 via the connecting main body portion 41. The folded portion 42 is connected to the joint body portion 41 The second horizontal portion 47 of the end portion on the side closer to the optical axis direction is formed by being bent 180 degrees toward the object direction side.

接點5更具有焊接部48。焊接部48係焊接於圖2之FPC6的FPC圓弧部6a之電極襯墊7的部分。 The joint 5 further has a welded portion 48. The welded portion 48 is welded to the portion of the electrode pad 7 of the FPC circular arc portion 6a of the FPC 6 of Fig. 2 .

當將以上說明之接點5往焊接部48起之順序的方向前進時,就如圖7所示,依焊接部48、固定部30、連結基端部40之彎曲部43、連結基端部40之延伸部44、連結本體部41之第1水平部45、連結本體部41之傾斜部46、連結本體部41之第2水平部47、翻折部42之順序連接。然後,在翻折部42連接有接點突起部31。亦即,在與翻折部42之連結本體部41為相反側的端部連接有接點突起部31之凸緣部35。換言之,翻折部42係將連結本體41與接點突起部31予以連結。更換言之,接點突起部31係從連結本體部41來看位在翻折部42之前端。因而,如圖7所示在圓周方向來看,接點突起部31之凸緣部35、翻折部42以及連結本體部41之第2水平部47係配置成為大致U字狀。同樣,在圓周方向來看,固定部30、連結基端部40之彎曲部43以及連結基端部40之延伸部44係配置成為大致U字狀。 When the contact 5 described above is advanced in the direction in which the welded portion 48 is advanced, as shown in FIG. 7, the welded portion 48, the fixed portion 30, the bent portion 43 of the joint base portion 40, and the joint base portion are joined. The extension portion 44 of the 40, the first horizontal portion 45 that connects the main body portion 41, the inclined portion 46 that connects the main body portion 41, the second horizontal portion 47 that connects the main body portion 41, and the folded portion 42 are sequentially connected. Then, a contact protrusion 31 is connected to the folded portion 42. That is, the flange portion 35 of the contact protrusion portion 31 is connected to the end portion of the folded portion 42 opposite to the coupling main body portion 41. In other words, the folded portion 42 connects the connecting body 41 and the contact protruding portion 31. In other words, the contact protrusion 31 is viewed from the connection body portion 41 at the front end of the folded portion 42. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the flange portion 35 of the contact protrusion portion 31, the folded portion 42, and the second horizontal portion 47 that connects the main body portion 41 are arranged in a substantially U shape. Similarly, the fixing portion 30, the curved portion 43 of the connecting base end portion 40, and the extending portion 44 of the connecting base end portion 40 are arranged in a substantially U shape as viewed in the circumferential direction.

在將以上之構成的接點5收容於外殼4之接點收容室15時,係如圖8所示,一邊將接點5之接點突起部31的 接點突起部本體34***於光軸方向隔壁10之接點***孔20,一邊將接點5之固定部30壓入於外殼4之圓周方向隔壁11的壓入槽21。藉由該壓入,接點5之固定部30能固定於外殼4。 When the contact 5 having the above configuration is housed in the contact accommodating chamber 15 of the outer casing 4, as shown in FIG. 8, the contact protrusion portion 31 of the contact 5 is provided. The contact protrusion main body 34 is inserted into the contact insertion hole 20 of the optical axis direction partition wall 10, and presses the fixing portion 30 of the contact 5 into the press-fitting groove 21 of the circumferential partition wall 11 of the outer casing 4. By the press-fitting, the fixing portion 30 of the contact 5 can be fixed to the outer casing 4.

在此,接點5之接點突起部31的接點突起部本體34之朝向外殼4之光軸方向隔壁10的接點***孔20之***方向係與被拍攝物方向一致。又,接點5的固定部30之朝向外殼4的圓周方向隔壁11的壓入槽21之壓入方向亦與被拍攝物方向一致。因而,可以說接點5之接點突起部31的接點突起部本體34之朝向外殼4之光軸方向隔壁10的接點***孔20之***方向係與接點5的固定部30之朝向外殼4的圓周方向隔壁11的壓入槽21之壓入方向設定為大致相同。 Here, the insertion direction of the contact insertion hole 20 of the contact protrusion main body 34 of the contact protrusion portion 31 of the contact 5 toward the optical axis direction partition wall 10 of the outer casing 4 coincides with the direction of the object. Further, the pressing direction of the press-fitting groove 21 of the fixing portion 30 of the contact 5 toward the circumferential direction partition wall 11 of the outer casing 4 also coincides with the direction of the object. Therefore, it can be said that the insertion direction of the contact insertion hole 20 of the contact protrusion main body 34 of the contact protrusion portion 31 of the contact 5 toward the optical axis direction of the outer casing 4 and the orientation of the fixing portion 30 of the contact 5 The pressing direction of the press-fitting groove 21 of the circumferential partition wall 11 of the outer casing 4 is set to be substantially the same.

如圖8所示,當將接點5安裝於外殼4時,接點5就成為預載(preload)狀態,該預載狀態為接點5之接點突起部31的凸緣部35,會對外殼4之光軸方向隔壁10的接點對向面10b,藉由連結部32之彈簧復原力而進行接觸的狀態。圖4係與圖8同樣,顯示接點5之預載狀態。如圖4所示,在接點5之預載狀態中形成為:在圓周方向,接點突起部31之接點突起部本體34接觸於接點***孔20之內周面20a之前,接點突起部31之凸緣部35早先接觸於圓周方向隔壁11之接點對向面11a。亦即,如圖4般,從離 開光軸方向來看,在凸緣部35和圓周方向隔壁11之接點對向面11a之間的間隙a、與接點突起部本體34和接點***孔20之內周面20a之間的間隙b之間係恆常地成立為a<b。 As shown in FIG. 8, when the contact 5 is attached to the outer casing 4, the contact 5 is in a preload state, which is the flange portion 35 of the contact protrusion 31 of the contact 5, The contact opposing surface 10b of the partition wall 10 in the optical axis direction of the outer casing 4 is brought into contact by the spring restoring force of the joint portion 32. Fig. 4 shows the preload state of the contact 5 as in Fig. 8. As shown in FIG. 4, in the preload state of the contact 5, the contact protrusion body 34 of the contact protrusion 31 is in contact with the inner circumferential surface 20a of the contact insertion hole 20 in the circumferential direction, the contact point is formed. The flange portion 35 of the protruding portion 31 is in contact with the contact opposing surface 11a of the circumferential partition wall 11 earlier. That is, as shown in Figure 4, from As seen in the direction of the opening axis, between the gap a between the flange portion 35 and the contact opposing surface 11a of the circumferential partition wall 11 and the contact projection body 34 and the inner peripheral surface 20a of the contact insertion hole 20 The gap b is constantly established as a < b.

圖9係顯示藉由未圖示的相機鏡頭模組3安裝於相機本體2而使得接點突起部31被往下推至被拍攝物方向之逆方向側的狀態。如圖9所示,當接點突起部31依接觸荷重Q而被往下推至被拍攝物方向之逆方向側時,接點突起部31係以固定部30為支點而如箭頭X所示朝向順時鐘方向旋轉,同時以翻折部42為支點而如箭頭Y所示朝向逆時鐘方向旋轉。結果,在接點突起部31依接觸荷重Q而被往下推至被拍攝物方向之逆方向時,從圓周方向來看,接點突起部31係以大概維持相同之姿勢的狀態下位移。又,在藉由未圖示的相機鏡頭模組3安裝於相機本體2,使得接點突起部31被往下推至被拍攝物方向之逆方向側時,由於接點突起部31之姿勢會發生若干變化,所以能在接點突起部31與相機鏡頭模組3之電性接點之間發揮所謂擦拭效果(wiping effect)。 FIG. 9 shows a state in which the camera lens module 3 (not shown) is attached to the camera body 2 such that the contact protrusion portion 31 is pushed down to the opposite side in the direction of the subject. As shown in FIG. 9, when the contact protrusion 31 is pushed down to the opposite side of the subject direction by the contact load Q, the contact protrusion 31 has the fixing portion 30 as a fulcrum as indicated by an arrow X. Rotating in the clockwise direction while rotating the counterclockwise direction as indicated by the arrow Y with the folded portion 42 as a fulcrum. As a result, when the contact protrusion 31 is pushed downward in the direction opposite to the subject direction by the contact load Q, the contact protrusion 31 is displaced in a state in which the contact protrusion 31 is maintained in the same posture from the circumferential direction. Further, when the camera lens module 3 (not shown) is attached to the camera body 2 such that the contact protrusion portion 31 is pushed down to the opposite side in the direction of the subject, the posture of the contact protrusion portion 31 is Since a certain change occurs, a wiping effect can be exerted between the contact protrusion 31 and the electrical contact of the camera lens module 3.
