CONNECTING MEMBER, POWER SUPPLY DEVICE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A connecting member comprising:
- a pair of pivots;
a pipe; and
a spring,wherein each of the pivots comprises a tip portion, a collar portion, an axis portion, and an end portion,wherein the spring is placed in the pipe and is placed between the pair of pivots,wherein the end portion is a portion placed in the pipe,wherein each of the tip portion and the collar portion is a portion projected from the pipe in a natural state,wherein the axis portion is a portion placed between the collar portion and the end portion,wherein the axis portion comprises a portion projected from the pipe in a natural state and placed in the pipe when the spring is compressed,wherein each of the axis portion and the tip portion comprises a conductive portion, andwherein the pair of pivots are electrically insulated from each other.

Abstract
A device capable of being used for a long time is achieved. A power supply, a connection method of a power supply, or a connecting member, for easy attachment and detachment and non-detachment when in use, is provided. A power supply, a connection method of a power supply, or a connecting member for easy replacement is provided. A highly designed power supply is provided. Power from a battery is supplied to an electronic device through a connecting member including a pipe, a spring, and a pair of pivots. The pair of pivots are electrically insulated from each other, and electrically connected to any one of a pair of electrodes of the battery. The electronic device into which the pair of pivots are inserted includes a pair of bearings capable of receiving power.

14. A system comprising:
-
a pair of bearings; a control portion; a power supply control portion; a first battery; a sensor; and a functional circuit, wherein the sensor is configured to output a potential difference between the pair of bearings to the control portion as a potential information, wherein the power supply control portion is controlled by the control portion and is configured to output any one of power of the first battery and power supplied from the pair of bearings to the functional circuit, and wherein the control portion is configured to control the power supply control portion to output power of the first battery when the potential information is information indicating any of a conductive state, an insulated state, and a state in which the potential difference is under a predetermined value and is configured to control the power supply control portion to output the power supplied from the pair of bearings when the potential information is information indicating a state in which the potential difference is greater than or equal to the predetermined value. - View Dependent Claims (15)
