  • Patent number: 11969871
    Abstract: A portable power tool includes a tool accessory, drive mechanism, housing and grip having a rotating axis. The grip includes grip portion having a first face and a second face. The grip portion is formed in a rotation asymmetric shape to the rotating axis. The grip is attachable to the housing with respect to a rotating angle around the rotating axis at a first angle and a second angle. When the grip is viewed in the rotating axis extending direction, the position of the first surface and the position of the second surface in the circumferential direction around the rotating axis in a case that the rotating angle is at the first angle are different from the position of the first surface and the position of the second surface in the circumferential direction around the rotating axis in a case that the rotating angle is at the second angle.

  • Publication number: 20080223597
    Abstract: An electrical connection box includes a circuit casing comprising a casing for accommodating a circuit structure therein and a cover, a lower connector housing disposed on the lower surface side of the circuit casing and connectable to an external connector, and a plurality of lower on-bus-bar terminals for electrically connecting between the circuit structure and the lower connector housing. Each lower on-bus-bar terminal is disposed along a cabling path horizontally traversing the inside of the circuit casing and leads into the lower connector housing through the ceiling portion of the housing. In the circuit casing, a waterproof wall is provided for covering the ceiling portion from above. Water having intruded into the circuit casing drops onto the waterproof wall, and thereby is prevented from reaching the ceiling portion of the lower connector housing disposed below.

  • Patent number: 7108519
    Abstract: An electrical connection box is described that includes a plurality of connector parts provided on a circuit substrate. Each of the plurality of connector parts may be provided at a different portion of the circuit substrate and may include an engaging portion that may engage with a mating connector part that is exposed outward from the case. In one exemplary embodiment, the connector parts are arrayed, respectively, on an upper circuit substrate and a lower circuit substrate. Therefore, cables extended from the upper connector part and cables extended from the lower connector part may be drawn from the mating connector in parallel and may be easily handled. For example, cables extended from the upper connector part and cables extended from the lower connector part run in parallel and in the same direction with the substrate, thereby making it possible to easily package the cables into one bundle.
