Abstract
Abstract A printed wiring board comprising a supporting frame, a resilient sheet supported by the supporting frame and having a wiring pattern formed thereon, and a tongue member made of the resilient sheet and providing the wiring pattern formed thereon; the supporting frame having a escape space formed therein corresponding to the tongue member; the terminal of an electronic device being pressed against the wiring pattern of the tongue member in such a manner that the restoring force of the tongue member completes the electrical connection between the wiring pattern and the terminal of the electronic device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
191 words
A printed wiring board, comprising: (a) a supporting frame; (b) a first non-conductive resilient sheet supported by the supporting frame and having a tongue member formed therein, a first wiring pattern formed on the first non-conductive resilient sheet and the tongue member including a stationary contact; (c) a second non-conductive resilient sheet having a second wiring pattern formed thereon including a movable contact corresponding to the stationary contact; and (d) an insulating spacer interposed between the first and second non-conductive resilient sheets and supporting the second sheet at a predetermined distance from the first sheet, formed with an aperture therein located such that the movable contact forms an electrical connection with the stationary contact when a force is applied to the second non-conductive resilient sheet over the aperture; the supporting frame having an escape space formed therein corresponding to the tongue member whereby the terminal of an electronic device is adapted to be pressed against the first wiring pattern of the tongue member in such a manner that the restoring force of the tongue member completes the electrical connection between the first wiring pattern and the terminal of the electronic device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
191 words
A printed wiring board, comprising: (a) a supporting frame; (b) a first non-conductive resilient sheet supported by the supporting frame and having a tongue member formed therein, a first wiring pattern formed on the first non-conductive resilient sheet and the tongue member including a stationary contact; (c) a second non-conductive resilient sheet having a second wiring pattern formed thereon including a movable contact corresponding to the stationary contact; and (d) an insulating spacer interposed between the first and second non-conductive resilient sheets and supporting the second sheet at a predetermined distance from the first sheet, formed with an aperture therein located such that the movable contact forms an electrical connection with the stationary contact when a force is applied to the second non-conductive resilient sheet over the aperture; the supporting frame having an escape space formed therein corresponding to the tongue member whereby the terminal of an electronic device is adapted to be pressed against the first wiring pattern of the tongue member in such a manner that the restoring force of the tongue member completes the electrical connection between the first wiring pattern and the terminal of the electronic device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A printed wiring board according to claim 1, wherein said escape space is an opening.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A printed wiring board according to claim 1, wherein said tongue member has a width which is longer than its length.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The printed wiring board according to claim 1, wherein said first non-conductive resilient sheet is polyester.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The printed wiring board according to claim 3, wherein said tongue member is smaller in width and length than said escape space.
