<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contact structure capable of preventing a contact member in a form of a coil spring from easily falling off, and to provide an electronic apparatus using it. <P>SOLUTION: This contact structure 60 of an electronic timepiece 1 has: the contact member 50 in a form of a coil spring 51; and a contact support 20 equipped with an elongate cavity 25 for housing the coil spring 51. The contact support 20 is provided with an engagement projection 33 extending toward the center part in the crossing direction of the cavity 25 from one side of a circumferential wall 31 of the cavity 25. The coil spring 51 constituting the contact member 50 is engaged with the engagement projection 33 at intermediate parts 51a and 51b in the lengthwise direction of the coil 52, and held by the contact support 20. The engagement projection 33 is engaged with the coil 52 of the coil spring 51 of the contact member 50 so as to move the contact member 50 forward and backward in the extension direction of the axis C of the coil with respect to the contact support 20 when the contact member 50 is rotated around the center axis C of the coil. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
