Patent number: 12166309Abstract: A connector includes a housing having a plurality of cavities, a seal member having a plurality of seal holes, a rear holder that holds the seal member between the housing and the rear holder, and a terminal fitting that is inserted into the cavity through the seal hole. The seal member includes a main body portion disposed on a side of the rear holder, and a plurality of protrusions protruding forward from the main body portion. Each of the seal holes has a shape penetrating in a front-rear direction from the main body portion to each of the protrusions. A space that allows displacement of the protrusions is provided between the housing and the seal member. The housing is provided with a restriction portion that is disposed between the plurality of the protrusions with a gap interposed therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignees: SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD., NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshihiro Uchiyama, Takahiro Yoneda, Aritsugu Hirose

Patent number: 11482811Abstract: A lever-type connector includes: a first housing; a second housing capable of fitted to and removed from the first housing; a lever rotatably supported by the second housing for fitted to and removed the first housing and the second housing by a rotation operation; a support shaft provided on the second housing; a bearing portion provided on the lever and comprising a shaft sliding groove for sliding the support shaft; a cam follower provided on the lever; a cam groove provided on the first housing, the cam groove to which the cam follower is engageable; a guide protrusion provided on the second housing, and a guide groove provided on the lever, the guide groove to which the guide protrusion is engageable. When the first housing and the second housing are completely fitted by the rotation operation of the lever, the lever becomes slidable with respect to the second housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignees: YAZAKI CORPORATION, NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Masatoshi Nakamura, Kazuto Ohtaka, Takahiro Yoneda, Aritsugu Hirose

Patent number: 10644446Abstract: A female housing (40) is formed with a cam pin (41) having a projecting dimension larger than cam projections (23) of a moving plate (18), and a lever (24) is formed with a cam groove (28) for accommodating the cam projections (23) and the cam pin (41) in the process of connecting/separating both housings (10, 40). An escaping space (31) communicates with the cam groove (28) and is configured to restrict entrance of the cam pin (41) by being shallower than the cam groove (28). In the process of rotating the lever (24) from an initial position to a connection position in a state where the housings (10, 40) are separated and the moving plate (18) is at a protecting position, the cam projections (23) are accommodated into the escaping space (31) while being kept out of contact with the lever (24).Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Tomoaki Yasuda, Takahiro Yoneda, Aritsugu Hirose
