Patent number: 8057258Abstract: A shielded connector achieving sufficient contact load between a shielded conductor and a crimp portion of an outer conductor shell without influence such as deformation of cross sections on signal wires when the crimp portion is crimped onto the conductor, and enhanced pull-out strength of a shielded cable against the shell. The shell includes a tubular connection portion having an arc-shaped cross section and arranged to be inserted into the conductor end portion exposed by stripping off a sheath portion at the cable end portion, shielded conductor crimping portions opposed to the connection portion and arranged to be crimped onto the conductor end portion into which the connection portion has been inserted, and fitting spaces provided to an inside of the conductor crimping portions at positions opposed to the tubular connection portion. Upper ends of the connection portion and the conductor are inserted into the spaces during crimping process.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2010Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignees: Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Daichi Kawaguchi, Yukou Sato, Toshio Kometani

Publication number: 20100032185Abstract: The present invention is intended to enable a efficient water-sealing treatment for an on-vehicle electric cable 10, i.e., an electric cable to be mounted on a vehicle, the cable having a conductor and a sheath disposed on the outside of the conductor, regardless of a length of the electric cable. The present invention provides a method comprising the step of establishing a state where a water-sealing agent 18 with fluidity covers a gap between the conductor and the sheath in an end of the on-vehicle electric cable 10, for example, through an operation of dropping the water-sealing agent 18 onto the end of the on-vehicle electric cable 10, and the step of pressurizing an ambient air around the water-sealing agent 18 to cause the water-sealing agent 18 to penetrate into the inside of the sheath of the on-vehicle electric cable 10.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2006Publication date: February 11, 2010Applicants: AUTONETWORKS TECHNOLOGIES, LTD., SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD., SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Daisuke Hashimoto, Toshio Kometani, Kenji Miyamoto, Hirotaka Yamada

Patent number: 6490785Abstract: In a manufacturing apparatus of a wire harness in which pallet P, on which a plurality of connectors C are juxtaposed, is moved by a pallet feeding section 1 and a pressure-contact terminal of connector C is automatically positioned at a pressure-contact position under a pressure-contact head section 4, an electric wire “a” is automatically set at a pressure-contact terminal of connector C by an electric wire supply section 2 and an electric wire setting section 3, and cover L is automatically set on connector C by a cover mounting section 5. A type and position of the electric wire “a” to be arranged and the height of press-fitting of the electric wire into the pressure-contact terminal are controlled by a program, and the operation and state are checked by a sensor.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 1999Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignees: Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Toshio Kometani

Patent number: 6227260Abstract: When a wire “a” is pressed into a pressure connection terminal of a connector C, an end portion of the wire “a” is clamped by a wire curvature correcting chuck 47, and the wire curvature correcting chuck 47 is slid in a pulling direction along the surface of a sheathing of the wire “a” in a state in which the feeding of the wire “a” is stopped, thereby correcting a curvature in the wire “a” so as to allow a press-in blade S to reliably grip the wire “a” and depress the same. In addition, in conjunction with the retraction of the wire curvature correcting chuck 47, its open/closed state is monitored by an opening/closing sensor to detect the amount of the projecting allowance of the wire “a” with respect to pressure connection, and a required measure can be adopted if the projecting allowance is insufficient.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 1999Date of Patent: May 8, 2001Assignees: Harness System Technologies Research, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Toshio Kometani

Patent number: 5495333Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus of detecting minute impurities in the entire body of a fluid. Part of the passage through which the fluid flows is constituted by a transparent member. Light is emitted in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of this part of the fluid passage so as to envelop the same. Light scattered by impurities in the fluid is observed from a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the passage to detect any minute impurities in the fluid. The method and apparatus is well-suited for use in systems which extrude molten resin in the formation of plastic products used in an electrical environment in order to detect impurities in the resin which could adversely affect the performance of the products.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 1994Date of Patent: February 27, 1996Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Akio Konda, Hiroyuki Konaka, Makoto Yamashita, Norio Yasuoka, Shigeru Kato, Toshio Kometani
