Abstract: An electric junction box in which electric power is distributed to electric parts or devices, mounted on an upper side of a part-mounting floor portion of an upper case, through bus bars mounted on a lower side of the part-mounting floor portion. In the electric junction box, a peripheral wall of an upper case has a heat-radiating wall portion which projects upwardly beyond the position of mounting of the electric parts on the part-mounting floor portion of the upper case. The heat-radiating wall portion has a bus bar installation space of a slit-like cross-section which is open to the lower surface of the part-mounting floor portion, and receives the connecting plate of the bus bar.

Abstract: A steering column wire protector for securely positioning and protecting wiring with respect to a steering column while permitting both axial and rotational movement of the wiring relative to the steering column in response to adjustment of a steering wheel to which the wiring is connected. The wire protector includes a bracket fixed to the wall of the steering column and a carrier supporting and holding a portion of the wiring. A slide pin formed on the carrier cooperates with a guide track in the bracket to permit the carrier to slide axially along the bracket as well as to pivot relative to the steering column axis. The wiring is preferably taped to the carrier. The carrier and bracket can be removably joined for shipment and handling purposes.
