  • Patent number: 9466960
    Abstract: A hole for inserting a binding band is arranged through a gutter shape electric wire passing guide. A widening width guide groove for guiding the binding band is arranged at an inner surface of the electric wire passing guide so as to expand its width gradually from the hole toward an opening end of one sidewall of the electric wire passing guide. In condition that a plurality of electric wires is inserted in the electric wire passing guide, a tip end of the binding band is inserted from the guide groove into the hole. One side surface of the guide groove is curved convexly toward the projecting top between the hole and the opening end. The one side surface of the guide groove is inclined toward the projecting top between a bottom surface of the guide groove and the inner surface of the electric wire passing guide.

  • Patent number: 8622755
    Abstract: There is provided a junction box unit that comprises a body to which a power integration unit is attached and a connector cover that positions a connector of a wiring harness with respect to the body. The connector cover comprises a holding portion holding the connector, a mounting portion attached to the body, and a main body to be accommodated therein. The mounting portion comprises an engagement projection and an engagement arm. The engagement projection protrudes from one end of the main body for locking engagement with a locking portion of the junction box body. The engagement arm includes an arm main body having one end continuing to an outer surface of the other end of the main body and a free end. A protrusion is provided at the central portion of the arm main body for locking engagement with the locking portion. When the protrusion is in locking engagement with the locking portion, the other end of the arm main body is positioned more outwardly of the body than the locking portion.

  • Patent number: 7654864
    Abstract: When a predetermined rupture load is applied to a mounting bracket formed on an attachment part, a rupture develops in the mounting bracket, and the attachment part can be separated from a base part by this rupture. The mounting bracket, in which a slit extending in a direction intersecting a loading direction of a rupture load is formed, includes a rigid portion disposed at one side of the slit and a breakable portion disposed at the other side of the slit which is breakable because of the presence of the bolt.
