The disclosure provides a terminal structure that includes an upper board and a lower board, which are adjacently provided and with respect to one another with a gap interposed therebetween. A conductor is formed on a rear surface side of upper board. A hole or a notch having an attached terminal is formed in lower board while penetrating through the lower board, and the terminal is electrically connected to the conductor on the upper board. The terminal includes a spring plate and a support section supporting the spring plate. The support section includes a fixing section that is fixed to lower board and a bottom plate that is positioned at a bottom surface side of lower board on a lower end side of the hole or notch. The spring plate of the terminal is formed to be connected to bottom plate and rise from bottom plate. The spring plate is extended upward from the lower end side of the hole or notch and comes into contact with conductor of upper board at an extended top position. Also provided is a card-shaped device including such a terminal structure.

A slide antenna board is slidably provided between a state in which slide antenna board is accommodated in a card body and a state in which slide antenna board is pulled out from the card body. The slide antenna board includes a planar type antenna. A base end side of a rod antenna is fixed to the card body and an extended side of the rod antenna is slidably and stretchably disposed in a slide direction of the slide antenna board through a slide guide in the slide antenna board. A leading end surface of rod antenna is not projected ahead of a leading end surface of slide antenna board in a state in which rod antenna is accommodated. An engagement unit engaging the slide antenna board is provided with the leading end side of rod antenna. The rod antenna engaging slide antenna board is configured to be pulled out together with slide antenna board while slide antenna board is pulled out from card body.

A card device includes a card casing accommodating a circuit board. The card device is capable of being inserted into and pulled out from a card slot in an apparatus in which the card device is to be mounted. An anti-slipping member is anchored and exposed at a rear-end wall portion of a peripheral wall of the card casing for being held at least when the card device is inserted or pulled out. The rear-end wall portion is positioned at a rear end of the card device opposite to the end of the card device that is inserted into the card slot.

Card device

An appearance protective case and an appearance protective case assembly are provided in which damage of a colored or marked pattern due to exposure is prevented, and in which the structure of a formed member having the colored or marked pattern printed thereon is made simple so that the formed member is easily incorporated into the appearance protective case. The appearance protective case includes a sheet-like formed member formed by draw-processing a sheet-like member treated with coloring or marking and a transparent or translucent cover case, and is assembled by fitting the sheet-like formed member into the cover case such that the sheet-like formed member extends in close contact with the inner surface of the cover case.

A film molded casing includes a transparent or translucent film molded member having a printed layer provided on the inner surface thereof so as to define the place of an illumination display, and a casing inside of which a lens for guiding light of an inner light source to the appearance surface thereof is integrally formed with the casing using a light-permeable resin, in which a light transmitting area is integrally formed with the casing so as to be contiguous with the lenses, and on the inner surface of which a light-impermeable printed layer is provided. In this film molded casing, the light transmitting area is matched to the light transmitting area of the film molded member.

Film molded casing

A compact flash (CF) card includes, in a front portion, a space-entering portion that enters the space between a top plate and a bottom plate provided on the upper and lower sides of connecting terminal pins arranged at the front end of a CF-card storage section of a PC card adapter. The connecting terminal pins are protected by the top plate and the bottom plate. The CF card storage section of the PC card adapter has an opening in the upper surface on the card insertion side. An upper portion of the CF card that is exposed from the opening includes a tall portion having a greater height than the space-entering portion. The CF card can be loaded in a PC card adapter having a simple structure, and taller electronic components can be mounted in the tall portion, than in a CF card which is equal in height to the space-entering portion over the entire range from the front end to the rear end.
