This makes it possible to confirm the connection state of the cable terminal of the flexible cable and the contact point of the clip-type connector, and the condition where dust has adhered to the contact point of the clip-type connector. In the above configuration, the front portion of the transparent member corresponding to the front end portion of the circuit board is formed in a convex curved shape. With this, the front end of the circuit board can function as a convex lens, and the connection state between the cable terminal of the flexible cable and the contact of the clip-type connector, and the state where dust is attached to the contact of the clip-type connector can be enlarged. It can be easily confirmed that it is printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In the above-mentioned configuration, a space is formed symmetrically with the contact surface on the opposite side of the contact surface from the circuit board. Dot the same pattern. With this, one can look at the actual contacts of the circuit board or a grid pattern formed on the opposite side of the contact forming surface, and make the contact points of the cable terminal of the flexible cable and the clip-type connector Connection, which improves connection workability. Moreover, in the above structure, it will be deformed due to the pushing by the pushing mechanism or the release of the pushing state, and it is used to seal the aforementioned circuit.

Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Next, the foregoing elements 10 to 70 will be described in detail. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the lower casing 10, and Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 1-1 in the plan view of Fig. 4. The lower housing 10 is a substrate support surface 11 on which the gray display portion of FIG. 4 forms a circuit substrate 30, and a circuit substrate 30 is placed on the substrate support surface 11 and supported. The front end portion of the lower housing 10 has an inclined surface 14 a which is inclined toward the outside and is inclined upward and downward, and an inclined groove 14 b which is inclined toward the left and right, and forms an insertion opening 14 of the flexible cable 1. Further, a cable guide groove is formed after the insertion port 14 to have a width slightly larger than that of the flexible cable 1 and is used to guide the cable terminal of the flexible cable 1 to a position corresponding to the contact 30 a of the circuit board 30. 15. This cable guide groove 15 guides the flexible cable 1 to the target direction by using both side walls of the groove. Further, at the rear portion of the cable guide groove 15, a contact-facing surface 16 having a width wider than the groove width of the cable guide groove 15 is formed. An elongated groove 17 is formed on the contact-opposing surface 16 for fitting with the lower portion of the elongated rod 60 provided in the arrangement direction of the contacts 30a of the circuit board 30, and at the rear of the elongated groove 17 (Corresponding to the rear part of the contact of the circuit board 30) is formed to press the paper size to apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -11-200302600 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (8) Block hole 18 for block 70. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page.) In addition, the holes shown by symbol 19a are holes for fixing the screws 40 of the upper and lower frames 10 and 20, and the holes shown by symbol 19b are used as needed. Fix the clip-type connector to a hole such as a workbench. Printed on the 8th Industrial Cooperative Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The upper frame 20 has a keyboard-like mouse shape as shown in Figs. Containment Department 25. A circuit board pressing mechanism 50 is mounted on the upper housing 20, and the pressing mechanism 50 presses the substrate by directly acting on the circuit substrate 30, and on the other hand, an operating lever that releases the pressing state when necessary. 51; a rotating shaft 52 that supports the operating lever 51 in a freely rotatable state; and a spring 53 that is an elastic means for applying a pressing force to the operating lever 51. Therefore, the upper housing 20 includes a spring holding hole 21 for receiving and holding the spring 53, an operation lever space 22 for accommodating the operation lever 51, and the operation lever 51 is rotatable; and a rotation shaft 5 2 Shaft hole 24 (see Figure 6). In addition, the front portion 23 of the frame body corresponding to the front end portion of the circuit board 30 has a convex shape and functions as a convex lens. This convex lens has a function of magnifying the connection portion between the cable terminal 1 a of the flexible cable 1 and the contact point 3 0a of the circuit board 30 for viewing. In addition, the front end portion of the front portion 23 of the upper housing 20 is formed with an inclined surface 23a widening outward so that the flexible cable 1 is inserted. Alternatively, the coil spring 53 constituting the pressing mechanism 50 may be replaced by a leaf spring or rubber. 6 and 7 are a side view and a bottom view of the upper housing 20, respectively. On the bottom surface of the upper frame body 20, there is a circuit board 30 for accommodating the circuit board, and the paper size is adapted to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -12- 200302600 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (9) ( Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page.) The substrate accommodating part 25 (the dotted line part in Fig. 6 and the gray display part in Fig. 7) is sandwiched between the substrate and the lower housing 10. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the upper housing 20 has a bottom surface side opening 26 of the operating lever space 22, a screw hole 27 for locking the screw 40, and a relay terminal or a fixed relay terminal formed to fix the circuit board 30. Concavities and convexities generated during the connection with the relay cable are recessed portions 28 and the like formed with a step difference from the substrate accommodating portion 25. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the circuit board 30. The circuit board 30 is a substrate (for example, an epoxy substrate, a phenol substrate, or the like) made of a flexible resin or the like, and a contact 30a and a wiring 30b pattern extending from the contact are printed on one surface. The contact 30a can be in contact with the cable terminal 1a of the flexible cable 1, and a number corresponding to the number of the cable terminals of the flexible cable 1 is arranged in the width direction of the front end portion of the circuit board 30. A relay terminal 3c (here, a round hole terminal) for connecting a relay cable is formed at a terminal of each wiring arranged at the rear of the contact 30a. In addition to the contact 30a and the relay terminal 3c, a resist treatment is performed on the surface of the substrate. In addition, if the pattern with the same pitch as the contact 30a is formed symmetrically to the surface of the contact 30a on the opposite side of the side where the contact 30a is formed (this pattern does not require conductivity), you can look at it This grid pattern securely connects the cable terminal 1a of the flexible cable 1 to the contact 30a of the clip connector. In addition, the notch shown by the symbol 30d is to prevent the screw 40 or the like from penetrating, and to prevent the circuit board 30 from being further shifted. The circuit board 30 is held by being sandwiched between the lower casing 10 and the upper casing 20, and most of the circuit substrate 30 is housed inside the casings 10 and 20. However, only the rear portion of the circuit board 30 is projected from these housings. As a result, the paper size of the circuit is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -13- 200302600 A7 _ B7 V. Description of the invention (10) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Substrate 3 0 and the lower frame 1 or the upper frame 20 are not completely fixed directly by screws or the like, but are held by only the supporting surfaces of the upper and lower frames, so the protrusions from the frame can be used relative to the lower side. The housing 10 and the upper housing 20 move the circuit board 30 in the width direction (the arrangement direction of the contacts 30a). By doing so, the position of the flexible cable 1 inserted into the clip-type connector can be corrected if the cable terminal 1 a is misaligned with the contact 30 a of the clip-type connector. In addition, the micro-movement state of the circuit board 30 can be adjusted by changing the locking pressure of the screws 40 fixing the lower frame 10 and the upper frame 20. The relay terminal 3 0c of the circuit board 30 is not limited to the above-mentioned round-hole terminal ′, and may be a terminal formed by patterning similarly to the contact 30 a. In addition, the connection between the relay cable and the relay terminal 30c may be performed by using a connector in addition to the method of directly soldering to the terminal. The printing press mechanism 50 of the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is mainly formed by making the width of the active end of the operating lever 5 1 the same as or slightly larger than the width of the contact arrangement of the circuit substrate 30; and The operating lever 51 is constituted by a spring 53 to which a pressing force is applied. The pressing mechanism 50 usually pushes up the operating lever 51 due to the elastic force of the spring 53, so that the active end of the operating lever 51 can be formed to press the contact portion 3 0a of the circuit board 30 and arrange it below. The state where the contacts of the side frame 10 are facing the 16 side of the surface. Then, when the operation lever 51 is depressed in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1, the active end of the operation lever 51 is separated from the circuit board 30, and the state of pressing the circuit board 30 is released. When the operating lever 51 is depressed, a gap is created between the contact 30a of the circuit board 30 and the elongated rod 60 to allow the flexible cable 1 to be inserted. However, this gap is added in order to add the flexible cable 1 with the operating lever 5 1 to push the paper. The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) '' -14-200302600 A7 ___B7_ V. Description of the invention (11 ) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) To seal, it is best to form about three times the thickness of the flexible cable 1, especially preferably about twice. In addition, the pressing force of the operating lever 51 on the circuit board 30 is a pressure that allows the cable terminal 1a and the contact 30a of the flexible cable 1 located between the circuit board 30 and the elongated rod body 60 to be reliably electrically connected. The elongated rod body 60 is, for example, a cylindrical rod body that can be fitted into the elongated groove 17 of the contact-opposing surface 16 of the lower frame 10, and is formed of a hard material such as metal. The elongated rod body 60 penetrates the inside of the frame body 10 among the substrate supporting surfaces 1 1 of the lower frame body 10. The elongated rod body 60 can support the pressing force applied to the circuit board 30, and can make the contact point 30a of the clip-type connector and the cable terminal 1a of the flexible section cable 1 stably contact with a low pressing force. In addition, instead of providing the elongated rod body 60 separately from the contact-facing surface 16, a protrusion corresponding to the elongated rod body 60 may be formed in the frame itself. The stopper 70 printed by the employee's consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is a pillar that can be pressed into and fixed to the slender groove 17 of the lower frame 10 7 and formed at the rear of the stopper hole 18, and is made of rubber (for example, Polyurethane rubber) and other soft materials. This stopper 70 is deformed in response to the pressing of the operating lever 51 on the circuit board 30 or the release of the pressing state, and seals the gap between the circuit board 30 and the contact-opposing surface 16 to prevent the flexible cable 1 from being excessive. Insert into the frames 10 and 20. The clip-type connector composed of the above-mentioned elements is easier to process or assemble parts than a connector using a pin in the past, and the life and strength of the clip-type connector can be improved. Next, the operation and operation of the above-mentioned clip type connector will be described using the schematic diagram of FIG. In order to connect the flexible cable 1 to the clip-type connector, first press the operating lever 5 1 with a thumb, etc., so that the paper size applied to the circuit board 30 is in accordance with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21 × 297 mm) ) -15-200302600 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (12) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The pressure is relieved. The circuit board 30, which has been released from the pressing force, returns to its original natural shape, and as shown in FIG. 9 (a), the contact surface 30a of the circuit board 30 and the contact surface 1 of the lower frame body 10 are opposite to each other. A gap occurs between 6 due to a step between the substrate supporting surface 11 of the lower frame 10 and the contact-opposing surface 16. Therefore, in a state in which the operating lever 51 is depressed, the flexible cable 1 can be introduced into the frame from the cable insertion opening 14 along the cable guide groove 15, and then between the contact 30 a of the circuit board 30 and the elongated rod 60. It is then introduced until it comes into contact with the stopper 70. Next, look at the upper side grid pattern of the circuit board 30 and the cable terminals 1 a of the flexible cable 1 through the convex lens portion of the front portion 23 of the upper housing 20, or look at the contact 30 under the circuit board 30. The flexible cable 1 and / or the cable terminal 1 a of the flexible cable 1 are moved at the same time, and the flexible cable 1 and / or the circuit substrate 30 are finely moved to locate the correct contact position between the contact 30 a of the circuit substrate 30 and the cable terminal 1 a of the flexible cable 1. When the consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has printed the contact position between the contact 30a of the circuit board 30 and the cable terminal 1a of the flexible cable 1, positioning the finger, etc., from the operation lever 51, This releases the depressed state of the operation lever 51. In this way, the operating lever 51 will return to the normal position due to the elastic force of the spring 53, and its active end will press the front end portion of the circuit board 30 to push it down, and as shown in FIG. 9 (b As shown in the figure, the end portion of the flexible cable 1 is pressed and held between the front end portion of the circuit board 30 and the contact-facing surface 16. This ensures that the contact 30a of the circuit board 30 and the cable terminal 1a of the flexible cable 1 are correctly connected. In addition, as long as the operating lever 51 is depressed again, the flexible cable 1 can be removed from the clip-type connector and pulled out. This paper size applies to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X2.97 mm) -16- 200302600 A7 B7 V. Description of invention (13) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Figure 10 is Among the clip-type connectors, a top view of the clip-type connector when the circuit board 30 includes a relay cable is shown. Each of the relay terminals 30c on the circuit board 30 is connected to a cable, and these cables are collected into a cable unit 80, and then pulled out from the rear end of the clip-type connector. These cable units 80 are, for example, inspection machines for a machine to which the flexible cable 1 is connected. Since this clip-type connector can be easily attached and detached and can be more reliably connected, the inspection efficiency of a device to which the flexible cable 1 is connected can be greatly improved. One example of this kind of inspection is an inspection to confirm the operation of a liquid crystal panel which is a device (part) incorporated in a projector and has a flexible cable as an input / output means before being assembled in the projector. However, the clip-type connector of the present invention is not limited to being used as a relay fixture with an inspection device, but it can also be used as a general relay connector for flexible cables. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy The circuit board according to the embodiment has a deformable structure, and a flexible cable holding structure may also be formed by pressing the contact-opposing surface toward the circuit board side which is supported so as not to be bent by pressing. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the clip-type connector of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the error connection condition when the cable terminal of the flexible cable is connected to the contact of the clip-type connector, improve the connection work, and the cable terminal and the clip. -Type connector with improved contact stability.
