  • Patent number: 6923406
    Abstract: A clamp detachable by handling from the front side of a plate is provided. When the main body of the clamp is pressed against the plate with an abutting portion elastically deformed and a connecting portion thrust into an attachment hole, and is moved in the direction parallel to the front and reverse surfaces of the plate, a retaining portion is moved to overlap the reverse surface of the plate with a first and a second projections engaged in locating holes formed in the plate. As a result, the main body is pressed against the front surface of the plate, the retaining portion is pressed against the reverse surface of the plate, and the first and second projections engaged in locating holes prevent displacement in the direction parallel to the front and reverse surfaces of the plate, whereby the clamp is fixed to the plate.

  • Patent number: 6376776
    Abstract: When a sub board is detached from a main board, a movable part is slid toward the main board. At this time, a wedge part of the movable part intrudes between a main part and an engagement part to cause elastic deformation to an extending part of the engagement part, thereby releasing engagement between the engagement part and an engagement receiving part. Even if an operator removes his/her hands from the movable part, the movable part is not displaced away from the main board, and the state in which the engagement part is disengaged from the engagement receiving part is thus maintained. Consequently, after sliding the movable part to release the engagement between the engagement part and the engagement receiving part, the operator can proceed to the next operation of pulling out the sub board.

  • Patent number: 6126121
    Abstract: A binding tool which provides good operability at the time of binding and unbinding a bundle of cables and which can be easily secured even in a narrow space, without a risk that a part thereof might be lost. A binding stay (2) has a bottom portion (11), two arm portions (12a, 12b), sawtooth-like notches (23) and a tightener support portion (26). A tightener (3) has a clamping plate (31b), for clamping the bundle of cables against the bottom portion (11), and two engaging projections (35a, 35b), for engagement with the sawtooth-like notches (23), respectively. A disengaging portion, which has a supporting plate (31b), two pressing protrusions (33a, 33b), and two connecting portions (32a, 32b), disengages each of the engaging projections from the sawtooth-like notches.
