Electromagnetic induction-type connector
First Claim
1. An electromagnetic induction-type connector comprising:
- a first connector on a first member which includes a first core member, and a first fitting portion; and
a second connector on a second member adapted to be brought into proximity to the first member, which includes a second core member for producing an induction electromotive force in cooperation with the first coil member, and a second fitting portion, for positioning the second connector with respect to the first connector, fitted to the first fitting portion when the second connector is brought into proximity of the first member, wherein electric power or a signal is transmitted between the first connector and the second connector by mutual induction effect when the second member is brought into proximity to the first member.

Abstract
A first connector (23) includes a first core member (26) and a first positioning-purpose fitting portion (35) for the second connector (25). A second connector (25) includes a second core member (28), in which an induction electromotive force is produced by the first core member (26), and a second positioning-purpose fitting portion (44) for fitting in the first fitting portion (35). The first fitting portions (35), as well as the second fitting portions (44), may be arranged at opposite sides of the first core member (26) in such a manner that the first core member (26) are interposed between the first fitting portions. A shock-absorbing elastic member, which can be elastically deformed upon contact, may be provided at the first fitting portion (35) and/or the second fitting portion (44).

10. An electromagnetic induction-type connector comprising:
-
a first connector on a first member;
a second connector on a second member adapted to be brought into proximity to the first member for producing an induction electromotive force in cooperation with the first connector when the first member is brought into proximity of the second member; and
a shock-absorbing resilient member, which can be resiliently deformed upon a contact between the first and second connectors, provided at one of the first and second coil members, wherein electric power or a signal is transmitted between the first connector to the second connector by mutual induction effect when the second member is brought into proximity to the first member. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18)

16. A electromagnetic induction-type connector comprising:
-
a first connector on a first member which includes a first core member; and
a second connector on a second member adapted to be brought into proximity to the first member, which includes a second core member for producing an induction electromotive force in cooperation with the first coil member;
an elastic member provided at the first connector for allowing the first core member to retract upon contact between the first and second connectors; and
a fixing member for fixing the elastic member to the first member, wherein electric power or a signal is transmitted between the first connector and the second connector by mutual induction effect when the second member is brought into proximity to the first member.
