Claim:
1. An information input device that is capable of acquiring information that is input using a writing tool on a booklet-like recording medium in which a pair of cover sheets and a plurality of paper sheets that are stacked and arranged between the pair of cover sheets are bound at a part of respective edge portions thereof, the information input device comprising: a first detection device that has a first detection surface and a first circuit portion and that is a plate-shaped body capable of detecting a position of the writing tool that approaches the first detection surface, the first detection device being capable of being arranged to face an entire surface of a first cover sheet of the pair of cover sheets; a second detection device that has a second detection surface and a second circuit portion and that is a plate-shaped body capable of detecting a position of the writing tool that approaches the second detection surface, the second detection device being capable of being arranged to face an entire surface of a second cover sheet of the pair of cover sheets; a coupling member that couples the first detection device and the second detection device, and includes a connecting line that includes a plurality of conductive paths formed on a flexible insulating film, and that electrically connects the first circuit portion and the second circuit portion, the connecting line including a protective member which is a flexible sheet-like member and an end portion of which is fixed to at least one of the fixing portion and the holding portion of the coupling member, the protective member having an arrangement portion whose length is longer than a length of the intermediate portion in a second direction that intersects a first direction in which the intermediate portion extends between the first detection device and the second detection device, the arrangement portion being disposed between the folding portion and the intermediate portion of the connecting line.
