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 11):
A method for producing a plate spring fixing structure, comprising:\n an attaching/temporarily fixing step comprising attaching and temporarily fixing a flat plate to a temporary fixation member, the flat plate having an electric conductivity and a spring property; a resin molding step comprising placing the temporary fixation member, which has the flat plate temporarily fixed thereon, within a metal mold and carrying out resin molding to form a first molded resin part such that the flat plate is embedded in the first molded resin part; a first removing step comprising removing the first molded resin part and detaching the temporary fixation member; and a plate spring forming step comprising bending the flat plate and thereby separating at least part of the flat plate from the first molded resin part to form a plate spring.
