Terminal input apparatus
First Claim
1. A terminal input apparatus comprising:
- a portable input device having a lower portion, data input keys and a portable input device side connector arranged in the lower portion of said portable input device;
a main device having an operation face; and
a holder, coupled to said main device and having a portable input device insertion opening, for holding said portable input device therein, said holder having a main device side connector for connecting to said portable input device side connector, said holder being coupled to said main device so that said holder is rotatable between a storing position at which said portable input device is held in said holder so that said portable input device is substantially parallel to said main device, and an extraction position at which the portable input device insertion opening of said holder is projected at an angle with respect to the operation face of said main device and said portable input device is inclined relative to said main device.

Abstract
A terminal input apparatus includes a portable input device having a data input key and a main device provided with a holder for holding the portable input device therein. The holder has a main device side connector which is to be connected to a connector arranged in the lower portion of the portable input device. The holder is arranged so that the holder can be moved relative to the main device between a storing position (at which the stored portable input device is parallel to the main device) and an extraction position (at which the portable input device insertion opening of the holder is projected toward the operation face of the main device, and the portable input device is inclined relative to the main device).

13. A water-proof and dust-proof connector structure comprising a first connector having a first contact projecting therefrom;
- and
a second connector having an insertion hole and a second contact formed in the interior of said insertion hole, said first contact mechanically connecting said second contact of said second connector so as to electrically connect said first contact and said second contact, said second connector further including two closing members capable of elastically touching and separating from each other, said two closing members being arranged in parallel to each other and disposed above said second contact in said insertion hole, so that said two closing members are in contact with each other on the axis of said insertion hole, and so that by inserting said first contact in said insertion hole, said two closing members are pushed outward by said first contact and separated from each other. - View Dependent Claims (14)
