Abstract:
Provided is a plate spring fixing structure and the like which do not necessitate complex assembling processes and thus can reduce production cost and can be reduced in size, and which enable adjustment, during a production process, of the extent to which the plate spring is bent. A holding structure ( 1 A) includes a first plate spring ( 12 ) that has: a fixed portion ( 12 a ) embedded in and fixed to a first molded resin part ( 11 ); and a spring portion ( 12 b ) which is not fixed and which has a spring property. The fixed portion ( 12 a ) has a face that is not in contact with the first molded resin part ( 11 ).

Claim (Index 12):
The method according to  claim 11 , wherein:\n the resin molding step comprises a first placing-in-mold step comprising placing the temporary fixation member, which has the flat plate temporarily fixed thereon, within a first lower mold and attaching the temporary fixation member to an inside of the first lower mold, and a first resin molding step comprising carrying out resin molding to form the first molded resin part between the first lower mold and a first upper mold such that the flat plate is embedded in the first molded resin part, the first upper mold having a protrusion configured to come into abutment with a portion of a surface of the flat plate, the first molded resin part having a hole situated above the flat plate; and the plate spring forming step comprises bending the flat plate such that the flat plate projects inside the hole and thereby separating the at least part of the flat plate from the first molded resin part to form the plate spring.
