Connection structure or fastening structure with resonant circuit
First Claim
1. A connection structure whose connection is confirmed by resonance of radio waves, comprising:
- a connector comprising a housing for receiving connecting members to be connected and a retainer for retaining the connecting members with respect to said housing;
a first circuit having first contacts at both ends thereof; and
a second circuit which forms a closed circuit functioning as a resonance circuit upon contacting the first contacts,wherein the first contacts and the second circuit contact each other simultaneously with connection of the connector, andwherein said retainer comprises said first circuit.

Abstract
A connection structure or a fastening structure including a circuit which functions as a resonant circuit whose connection or fastening is confirmed by resonance of radio waves, the connection structure or a fastening structure has a connector for connecting a member to be connected or a clip for fastening a member to be fastened; a first circuit having first contacts on respective ends thereof; and a closed circuit functioning as a resonance circuit supported on the retainer or clip when in contact with the first contacts. Alternatively, the connection structure of fastening structure has a second circuit which disables a function of a resonance circuit upon contacting the first contact, and the first contacts and the second circuit are brought into contact simultaneously with connection of the connector or fastening of the clip.
