1. A connection device for connecting a flat cable with a connection object, said flat cable having a main pattern on a main surface thereof and a supplementary pattern on a supplementary surface thereof opposite to said main surface, said connection object having a main pattern and a supplementary pattern, said connection device comprising a first connector and a second connector adapted to be connected to said first connector in a predetermined direction, said first connector comprising:

  • a first insulator having an opening for receiving said flat cable;

    a first contact held to said first insulator;

    a pressing member movably connected to said first insulator for pressing said flat cable to make said main pattern of the flat cable become in contact with said first contact with said pressing member being moved relative to said first insulator;

    a first conductive shell covering said first insulator; and

    a second conductive shell covering said pressing member for being connected to said supplementary pattern of the flat cable, said second conductive shell being brought into contact with said first conductive shell when said pressing member presses said flat cable;

    said second connector comprising;

    a second insulator;

    a second contact held to said second insulator for being connected to said main pattern of the connection object, said second contact being brought into contact with said first contact when said first and said second connectors are connected to each other; and

    a third conductive shell covering said second insulator for being connected to said supplementary pattern of the connection object, said third conductive shell being brought into contact with said first conductive shell when said first and said second connectors are connected to each other.
