  • Crimp-style terminal
    Patent number: 5486653
    Abstract: A crimp-style terminal crimped to connect itself with an end of an electric wire includes an electric connecting part which is electrically connected to the other connecting part; and a crimping part formed integrally with the electric connecting part. The crimping part includes a bottom part and a pair of bends protruding from both sides of the bottom part. Each of the bends is formed to be thinner than the bottom part. In crimping, the pair of bends are deformed in such a manner that each end of the bends is directed to a substantially intermediate position in the width direction of the bottom part, whereby the end of the electric wire is crimped to the terminal securely.

  • Method of connecting a crimp-style terminal to electrical conductors of an electrical wire
    Patent number: 5025554
    Abstract: A method of forming a crimp-style terminal and the resulting crimp-style terminal. A solder cream is applied to one or both of the inner surface of the conductor-holding portion of the terminal and the conductor wires which are to be held by the conductor-holding portion. The conductor-holding portion is subsequently deformed by pressing to grip the wire conductors. The solder cream fills the space between the conductor bundle and the inner surface of the conductor-holding portion and the space between conductors of the conductor bundle.

  • Fuse inspection device
    Patent number: 4782301
    Abstract: A fuse inspection device having receiving terminals which are arranged in a longitudinal direction of a fuse box body and with which a plurality of band fuses are held in fit engagement. Windows are provided in side walls of accommodating chambers for the respective receiving terminals, and a slide knob slides along the band fuses. A sensing terminal moves together with the slide knob and has one end electrically connected with the receiving terminals through the window and has the other end brought into contact with a common conductive member. Electric conduction states of the band fuses are successively sensed by electrically connecting the sensing terminal and the receiving terminals through the movement of the slide knob.
