  • Publication number: 20230216222
    Abstract: A rail holding structure of rail terminal includes a case body and a grounding member received in the case body. Two lateral sides of the grounding member are connected in the case body for holding a preset grounding rail. The case body is formed with two lower sections respectively corresponding to two sides of the grounding member. A foot section extends from at least one of the two lower sections. A first connection side and a second connection side are disposed on two lateral sides of the foot section. The first and second connection sides are connected with an outer sidewall of the lower section to form a socket with an open top side. A tool can be extended into the socket to pull and extend the foot section. Via the lower section, the grounding member is driven to detach from the grounding rail or hold the grounding rail.

  • Publication number: 20230170633
    Abstract: A conductive component structure of rail-type terminal device includes a conductive component disposed in an insulation case body. The conductive component has a first section and a second section connected with the base section. The first section and the second section are respectively formed with a bow portion, a first portion and a second portion. A load arm and an elastic unit assembled with the load arm are disposed on the first section and/or the second section. The elastic unit includes a first elastic section and a second elastic section. The load arm passes through the first elastic section and at least a part of the second elastic section. When the load arm is displaced or moved, the first elastic section and the second elastic section respectively provide tension (or pushback force) and pulling force effect so as to improve the shortcoming of the conventional terminal device.

  • Patent number: 11128066
    Abstract: A conductive component structure of conductive wire connection device is more securely assembled with the conductive wire to enhance the electro-conduction performance. The conductive component includes a main body in the form of a plate body and a restriction body connected on the main body. The restriction body has a base section, a first arm and a second arm connected with the base section and free sections connected with the first and second arms, which together provide elastic holding action force for the restriction body. When the conductive wire is plugged into the case into contact with the conductive component, the rear end of the conductive wire is at least securely pressed between the first and second arms of the restriction body without deflecting or swinging due to external force.

  • Patent number: 10910737
    Abstract: A rail terminal assembling structure includes a protection member formed with an assembling passage defined by a contact side section, a connection side section and two lateral sections. The connection side section has a first locating section, an elastic locating section and a second locating section. An end section of a conductive plate extends into the assembling passage and securely attached to the contact side section. A metal leaf spring has a first section, a second section and an elastic bight section connected between the first and second sections. The first section has a first located section and an insertion section. When the first section extends into the assembling passage and the first section elastically pushes/presses the elastic locating section until the insertion section reaches the elastic locating section, the elastic locating section is elastically engaged with the insertion section.

  • Patent number: 10367276
    Abstract: A conductive component structure of wire connection terminal is manufactured at lower cost and more securely assembled with the conductive wire. The conductive component includes a main body in the form of a plate body and a restriction body connected on the main body. The restriction body defines a mouth section and has an oblique wall connected with the mouth section. When the conductive wire is plugged into the case into contact with the conductive component, the restriction body guides the conductive wire and the rear end of the conductive wire is restricted and secured by the oblique wall. The conductive component improves the shortcomings of the conventional structure that the conductive wire is apt to deflect or swing due to external force to lead to unstable contact and insecurity and affect the electro-conductive efficiency.
