Patent number: 6558172Abstract: A shielding wire is bent in a bent shape and also is fixed in the bent shape by a housing. In the bent portion of the shielding wire, a core wire and a shielding layer are exposed by removing an outer coating and an inner insulating layer and also an insulating member, which may be heat-shrinkable, is interposed between the core wire and the shielding layer. When the insulating member is a heat-shrinkable member, an allowable bending radius of the shielding wire becomes smaller if the core wire is covered with the insulating member and bent before shrinkage, compared with the case of the core wire being bent together with the outer coating and the inner insulating layer. This results in miniaturization of the bent portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2002Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignees: Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Shuichi Kanagawa

Patent number: 6524121Abstract: In a shield connector, tin or solder contained in a synthetic resin of a housing 21 closely adheres the metallic flange 22 so that the waterproofness between the metallic flange 22 and the housing 21 is secured. The shield connector of the invention does not require performing the step of applying a hot melt adhesive to the metallic flange 22, though such a step is necessary for manufacturing a conventional shield connector. The housing 21 is constituted by an electrically conductive synthetic resin. The entire housing 21 also serves as a shield member adapted to cover the end portion of an end portion of the shield wire 10.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2001Date of Patent: February 25, 2003Assignees: Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Shuichi Kanagawa

Publication number: 20020102872Abstract: A shielding wire 10 is bent in L shape and also is fixed in the bent shape by covering the circumference with a housing 21. In the bent portion of the shielding wire 10, a core wire 11 and a shielding layer 13 are exposed by cutting an outer coating 14 and an inner insulating layer 12 and also an insulating tube 33 having heat shrinkability is interposed between both of the core wire 11 and the shielding layer 13. An allowable bending radius of the case of bending the core wire 11 and the insulating tube 33 with the core wire 11 covered with the insulating tube 33 of a state before shrinkage becomes smaller as compared with the case of bending a portion providing the outer coating 14 and the inner insulating layer 12 of the shielding wire 10, and miniaturization of the bent portion is achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2002Publication date: August 1, 2002Applicant: AUTONETWORKS TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.Inventor: Shuichi Kanagawa

Patent number: 6419521Abstract: A terminal fitting 20 accommodated in a shield connector is formed like a letter L by bending a flat plate portion 22, which extends from a press-attaching portion 21, at a right angle. Even when the flat plate portion 22 has a section, the area of which is equal to that of a section of a connector 11 of a shield wire 10, the flat plate portion 22 can be bent in a direction of width thereof with an allowable bending radius that is small as compared with that of the shield wire 10. Thus, the size of a bent portion is reduced. Consequently, the size of the entire shield connector is decreased.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2001Date of Patent: July 16, 2002Assignees: Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Shuichi Kanagawa, Yoshio Mizutani

Patent number: 5997333Abstract: To securely lock connectors for charging, a charging connectors 1 is engaged with a vehicle-side connector 25, lock balls 9 are engaged with an engaging groove 28 and a locking member 10 is engaged with the lock balls 9. As a result, the connectors 1 and 25 are locked. Since the connectors 1 and 25 are locked by a ball lock mechanism taking advantage of the engagement of the lock balls 9, the connectors can be more securely locked even if the connectors and wires are heavy as compared to a prior art locking mechanism adopting an elastically deformable resin lance or engaging member and, therefore, a better reliability can be ensured.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1997Date of Patent: December 7, 1999Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Kazumoto Konda, Sho Miyazaki, Shuichi Kanagawa, Tsutomu Tanaka, Kunihiko Watanabe

Patent number: 5984705Abstract: Connector housings are provided that are easily lockable, but hard to be unlocked. The housings include a male connector housing 10 with an elastic portion 14, and a female connector housing 20 with a receptacle 21 and a lock projection 24. While the connector housings 10, 20 are being engaged, the elastic portion 14 and the lock projection 24 are engaged with each other when the connector housings 10, 20 are properly engaged after the elastic portion 14 undergoes an elastic deformation. As a result, the connector housings 10, 20 are locked. In this state, the elastic portion 14 and the lock projection 24 are concealed inside the receptacle 21 and the unlocking cannot be performed by directly operating the elastic portion 14 by hand or finger. Accordingly, the connector housings 10, 20 are not inadvertently unlocked.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1997Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Sho Miyazaki, Shuichi Kanagawa

Patent number: 5852394Abstract: An electromagnetic coupling device for charging an electric motor vehicle is provided which is easy for handling a charging coupler and hardly lowers electric power transmission efficiency for a long period of time. A charging coupler (10) containing a primary coil (15) is provided with a pair of heat-shielding covers (16), which are pivotably mounted on the coupler (10) by pins (17). When the charging coupler (10) is inserted into a depression (31) in an incoming unit of the electric motor vehicle, guides (21) push lower ends (16a) of the covers (16) to open the covers (16). The primary coil (15) in the charging coupler (10) is electromagnetically coupled to a pair of secondary coils (32, 32) in the depression (31). After charging, when the charging coupler (10) is drawn out of the depression (31), the heat-shielding covers (16) are closed by tension coil springs (18), thereby protecting the primary coil (15) and preventing a person from carelessly touching it.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 1996Date of Patent: December 22, 1998Assignees: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Kunihiko Watanabe, Shuichi Kanagawa, Tomohiro Keishi, Shuji Arisaka
