Abstract: A method of making an electrical socket having an insertion part, a receptacle, and an electrically conductive terminal therebetween. The insertion part and the receptacle are at an angle to each other and the conductive terminal is bent at substantially the same angle. A tubular member is molded and one end of the conductive terminal is inserted through an insertion hole in the closed end so that the other end projects therefrom. This end is bent, preferably to a 90.degree. angle with the remainder of the conductive terminal, thereby forming the core member. The core member is inserted into a mold whereby, when molding resin is introduced into said mold, the outer tube and the receptacle are integrally formed.

Abstract: A grommet for sealing an opening in a partition which having a main body and a fixture. The body has a flexible pocket surrounding the opening into which a skirt on the fixture enters. When the assembled grommet is placed under compression, the skirt forces the pocket against the edge of the opening, thereby providing a reliable waterproof seal. At the same time, the pressure urges a sealing lip on the main body against the partition to provide a watertight seal. Thus, the device is capable of producing two seals, rather than a single seal as is to be found in the prior art. The grommet is of particular use in connection with automotive vehicles.
