Abstract

An apparatus includes: a circuit board which is disposed in a main unit of the apparatus; a shielding conductor which is placed outside the circuit board as viewed from the apparatus main unit; a covering member which covers an outer side face of the apparatus main unit; and an electrically conductive member which is fixed to an inside of the covering member to cross an opening which exists between a main unit frame on which the circuit board is disposed, and the shielding conductor, one end portion of the electrically conductive member being connected to the shielding conductor, another end portion of the electrically conductive member being connected to a grounded frame of the apparatus main unit.

Claims (7)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a circuit board which is disposed at a main unit frame of the apparatus;

a shielding conductor which is placed outside the circuit board;

a covering member which is placed outside the shielding conductor and covers an outer side face of the apparatus; and

an electrically conductive member which is fixed to an inside of the covering member to cross the circuit board and an opening which exists between the main unit frame and the shielding conductor, one end portion of the electrically conductive member being connected to the shielding conductor, another end portion of the electrically conductive member being connected to a grounded frame of the apparatus,

wherein the electrically conductive member is disposed to cross both the circuit board and the opening extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to a surface of the main unit frame on which the circuit board is disposed.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive member is configured by a plate spring which is disposed on an inner side face of the covering member.
