  • Patent number: 8083537
    Abstract: A ground connector comprises facing pieces one ends of which are interconnected via a connecting section, a pair of holding pieces formed by folding back the other ends defining an opening into the space defined by the facing pieces, a displacement section connected between the internal surfaces if the facing pieces and forming a V shape projecting toward the opening, and a piercing piece. A ground wire is inserted into a ground-wire insertion space, the ground connector is attached to an end edge of a vehicle body panel through the opening, the insertion force of the vehicle body panel causes the vehicle body panel to push the displacement section toward the connecting section thus to reverse the projection of the displacement section toward the connecting section and the piercing piece pierces the insulation cover of the ground wire to come into contact with the conductor of the ground wire.

  • Patent number: 8013248
    Abstract: A corrugated clamp includes a base section, a lid section, and a bracket section. The base section and lid section are provided on their inner peripheral surfaces with concavo-convex portions to be fitted to an annular concavo-convex portion of a corrugated tube. The bracket section projects from an exterior of the base section to be engaged with a vehicle body. A ground wire is drawn out from a wire harness extending through the corrugated tube. A core wire is exposed from the ground wire by stripping an insulation sheath of the ground wire. The exposed core wire is brought into contact with an inner surface of the concavo-convex portion of the base section and is fixed between the inner surface of the base section and an outer surface of the corrugated tube.

  • Patent number: 7717757
    Abstract: Lock portions 4 are provided more inside than outermost wall surfaces 5a, 6a of a cassette relay block 1, and the cassette relay block 1 is inserted into space surrounded by peripheral walls 16 to 19 on an attaching side, and fixed by the lock portions 4 and locked portions 10 located on the peripheral wall side. The peripheral walls 16 to 19 on the attaching side are formed as a cassette frame 2. The cassette frame is used in common for the cassette relay block 1 or other cassette electric parts mounting blocks. The plural cassette frames are coupled to each other by lock members 54, and coupled to a connection box body by locked members thereby to constitute an electric connection box.
