Electricity feeding mechanism and electronic timepiece having the same

Abstract

To provide an electricity feeding mechanism to be able to feed electricity to a circuit board by a minimum size and an electronic timepiece having the same. An electricity feeding mechanism of an electronic timepiece includes an electricity feeding member having an oscillator cabinet contact terminal portion electrically brought into contact with a metal cabinet at other end thereof at a vicinity of one end portion of the metal cabinet of a quartz oscillator having a battery pole contact terminal portion electrically brought into contact with an electric pole of a battery at one end thereof, and an electricity feeding terminal portion electrically brought into contact with the metal cabinet of the quartz oscillator at a vicinity of other end portion of the metal cabinet of the quartz oscillator and electrically connected to an electricity feeding line of a circuit board mounted with the quartz oscillator. The electricity feeding member is constituted by a slender plate-like structure, arranged orthogonally to a main face (XY plane) of a timepiece main body and is engaged with and supported by engaging portions of machine frames of a timepiece main body at a middle portion between a terminal portion and a terminal portion.
