Abstract

Abstract An electronic device comprises a first outer cover, a second outer cover and joining means. The first outer cover has a first insulator covering the surface of a first conductor having a through hole formed therein. The second outer cover, which is disposed in contact with the through hole, has a second conductor covered with a second insulator. The joining means has a conductivity and is adapted to be inserted in the through hole to be electrically coupled to the second conductor. When inserted in the through hole, the joining means penetrates the first insulator around the outer wall of the hole and comes in electric contact with the first insulator, thereby permitting the first and second outer covers to be electrically connected and form an electric wave shielding cover as a consequence.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 98 words
An electronic device for electrically connecting a pair of insulating-film coated covers, said device comprising: a first outer cover having a first insulator covering a surface of a first conductor having a through hole formed therein; a second outer cover adapted to be put on said first outer cover and having a second conductor covered with a second insulator; and joining means having a conductivity and adapted to be inserted in said through hole to penetrate said first insulator around said through hole to thereby be electrically coupled to said second conductor and embedded in said second conductor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 98 words
An electronic device for electrically connecting a pair of insulating-film coated covers, said device comprising: a first outer cover having a first insulator covering a surface of a first conductor having a through hole formed therein; a second outer cover adapted to be put on said first outer cover and having a second conductor covered with a second insulator; and joining means having a conductivity and adapted to be inserted in said through hole to penetrate said first insulator around said through hole to thereby be electrically coupled to said second conductor and embedded in said second conductor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 66 words
An electronic device according to claim 1, wherein said joining means includes: conductive first joining means adapted to be inserted in said through hole to be embedded in said second conductor; and second joining means having a plurality of projections formed on that surface thereof which is electrically connected to said first joining means to come in contact with said first insulator around said through hole.
