Patent number: 5791939Abstract: A connector (10M,10F) has a housing (11M,11F) of insulating material, a terminal (45M,45F) within the housing (11M,11F) and a shielding cover (30) for the housing (11M,11F). The terminal (45M,45F) is adapted to be connected (e.g. by crimping) to a core wire (Wa) of a cable (W); the shielding cover (30) is adapted to be connected (e.g. by crimping) to a shielding layer (Wb) of a cable (W). The shielding cover (30) is movable from a first condition in which the cover (30) is spaced from the housing (11M,11F) and a second condition in which the cover (30) is engaged with the housing (11M,11F).Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1996Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventor: Fumiyoshi Tanigawa

Patent number: 5691506Abstract: A ground structure for a shield wire that can withstand a pulling force to a certain degree includes notches formed through a peripheral wall of a housing defining a tubular member. Spring pieces are mounted respectively in the notches and project from the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the housing. The housing is received in a shield cap, which is connected to a metal casing. When a shield wire, having an exposed braided wire exposed, is passed through the bore of the housing, the spring pieces contact the shield wire at the inner periphery of the housing and the shield cap at the outer periphery of the housing. Therefore, the braided wire and the metal casing are electrically connected together. Also, the shield wire is movable in an axial direction, so that the shield wire will not be broken even if a pulling force acts on the shield wire.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 1995Date of Patent: November 25, 1997Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems Ltd.Inventors: Sho Miyazaki, Fumiyoshi Tanigawa, Toshiyuki Sekimori, Yasuyoshi Fukao

Patent number: 5560879Abstract: An object is to accurately set an end of a detection conductor of a wear-detection probe for a brake lining material at a predetermined position in a housing. The wear-detection probe is produced by the steps of: connecting a detection conductor 1 to a positioning member 3 at a given position, the positioning member being electrically insulated from the detection conductor 1; fixing a securing portion 31 formed on the positioning member 3 on a work table at a given position with respect to a mold; forming a resin housing 4 containing a part of the positioning member 3 in the mold so that a detector 1a of the detection conductor 1 is inserted in the housing 4 and the securing portion 31 is projected from the housing 4; and removing the positioning member 3 including the securing portion 31 which is projected from the housing 4.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1994Date of Patent: October 1, 1996Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems Ltd.Inventor: Fumiyoshi Tanigawa

Patent number: 5501828Abstract: A production method is provided which can reduce the number of working steps, shorten a production time, increase a strength of a probe, and prevent a U-turned portion (61) from shifting in a probe member (50P). The method provides a positioning pin (100) disposed inside a U-turned portion (61) of an insulated electrical wire (60) as an insert in the probe member (50P) upon mold-forming. According to the method, since the positioning pin (100) is left inside the U-turned portion (61), a pin drawn-out hole is not formed in the probe member, thereby increasing the strength of the probe. The U-turned portion (61) is disposed in position by the positioning pin (100), thereby preventing the U-turned portion (61) from shifting in the probe member (50P). Also, since the pin drawn-out hole is not formed in the probe member, it is not necessary to fill a packing material into the hole and to apply an adhesive to the inside wall of the hole or to the packing material and thereby the working steps can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1994Date of Patent: March 26, 1996Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventor: Fumiyoshi Tanigawa

Patent number: 5454450Abstract: A probe for detecting wear of a lining such as a brake pad in automobiles includes a holder having two insertion apertures and a notch. An electrically conducting wire is inserted through the insertion apertures of the holder. Portions of the wire positioned in the notch are secured to a fallout preventing member. Upon the progressive wear of the lining, a U-shaped portion of the wire is severed by a rotor of the brake system. The fallout preventing member prevents the wire from falling out of the holder once the wire has been severed. The portions of the wire remaining after the wire has been severed by the rotor can thus be prevented from twining around the rotor or the like.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1994Date of Patent: October 3, 1995Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventor: Fumiyoshi Tanigawa
