Abstract: In forming a molded member (30) by insert molding, a porous member (10) and a cylindrical member (20) fitted on a peripheral edge of the porous member (10) are set in a die (40); and the molded member (30) is formed with the molded member (30) out of contact with the porous member (10) and with the molded member (30) in close contact with an outer surface of the cylindrical member (20) by the insert molding. Therefore a landed position (first landed surface (45A), second landed surface (45B)) of the die (40) is set on the outer surface of the cylindrical member (20). Thus there is no fear that liquid resin penetrates into the pores of the porous member (10) in the insert molding. Thereby by the insert molding, it is possible to form the molded member (30) holding the porous member (10).

Abstract: A frame-shaped cover (30) for covering resilient holding pieces (23) is mounted at an opening edge of a fitting (11), and clearances Cb for permitting displacements of the cover (30) in forward and backward directions intersecting a mounting direction of a base (51) with respect to the fitting (11) are defined between the outer surfaces of front and rear walls (13F, 13R)) of the fitting (11) and the cover (30). Even if the base (51) is displaced forward or backward with respect to the fitting (11), the cover (30) can be displaced in conformity with the position of the base (51), wherefore the base (51) can be mounted reliably into the fitting (11).

Abstract: An insert-molded product (1) has inserts (10, 20) and a resin-molding part (30) integral with the inserts (10, 20). One end (11A) of a connection terminal (11) of the insert (10) projects along a die-removal direction of a molding die (40) and fits in a setting hole (44) formed on an inner surface of a cavity of the molding die (40). One portion of a cavity surface of the molding die (40) contacts a side surface of the insert (10). A slide core (45) is formed on a contact surface (43A) of the cavity surface and moves orthogonal to the die-removal direction. The slide core (45) fits in a fit-in part (12) formed on a to-be-contacted surface (13) of each of the inserts (10, 20).

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to improve operability. Stoppers (74) are detachably mounted in a lower mold (70) of a mold. Nuts (30) are screwed down onto the stoppers (74) while being held upside down. After the mold is closed in this state and molten resin is filled into a cavity (77) and solidified therein, the mold is opened. The stoppers (74) are separated from the lower mold (70) as the mold is opened. When the stoppers (74) are separated from the nuts (30) thereafter, a casing 10 having no pin withdrawal hole can be obtained. Accordingly, it is not necessary to apply potting or the like to close the pin withdrawal hole.

Abstract: A housing (21) is formed with an insertion path (24) for an FFC (10). Thick gel plates (45) are mounted on front and rear surfaces of the FFC (10) beforehand. The gel plates (45) are pushed into an entrance (25) to the insertion path (24) as the FFC (10) is inserted, thereby providing sealing at a place where an end portion of the FFC (10) is inserted into the entrance (25). The gel plates (45) adhere well even to corners of the FFC (10) to display a waterproof function. Therefore, the FFC (10) can be used at a place exposed to water.

Abstract: LEDs (10) are used as a tail stop lamp (L1). A socket (21) for the LEDs (10) is provided at the left end of a socket base (20), and a lighting circuit (15) for the LEDs (10) including the socket (21) and a connector portion (25) is constructed on the socket base (20). Thus, electronic parts, such as resistors for luminance adjustment, are formed into control modules (30) by molding. Lead terminals (32) of the respective control modules (30) are formed by insulation-displacement terminals. On the other hand, insulated wires (40) are laid through mount bases (35) in a specified circuit pattern on the socket base (20). When the control modules (30) are mounted into the corresponding mount bases (35), the lead terminals (32) are pressed into connection to form the lighting circuit.

Abstract: A back cover of a motor vehicle lamp includes a plurality of types of blocks provided with joints that join the blocks together; terminals fixed to a connector of the plurality of types of blocks, and bulb holders; and a cord wired between the terminals. The blocks are selected to match with a structure of a motor vehicle lamp, and the selected blocks are joined together via the joints. As a result, it is possible to structure the back cover to match with a variety of structures of the motor vehicle lamp. Further, it is possible to have in common a plurality of types of blocks that constitute the back cover. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture the back cover at low cost.

Abstract: An optical connector for a two-core optical fiber cord 1 is constructed by coupling a housing main body portion for holding ferrule portions 5 fitted to top end portions of paired optical fiber cores 2 with a cord receiving portion 30 for holding an end portion of a covering member 3. The cord receiving portion 30 includes paired cord receiving split members 31A, 31B, and core-guiding-path forming concave portions 33A, 33B for guiding paired optical fiber cores 2 to the outside are formed in the cord receiving split members 31A, 31B. Paired guiding pins 34A, 34B for guiding paired optical fiber cores 2 to separate into an almost Y-shape are formed in the core-guiding-path forming concave portions 33A, 33B, and holding pieces 22 used to couple the housing main body portion with the cord receiving portion 30 can be prevented from contacting to the optical fiber cores 2.

Abstract: An electrical connector has a housing and an electrical terminal mounted in the housing. An electrical noise-reducing member, which is a body of magnetic material, is carried on the terminal and has a through-hole through which the terminal extends. A stop member is secured on the terminal to abut the end of the magnetic member at which the terminal emerges from the through-hole. The stop member prevents the noise-reducing member from sliding along the terminal.

Abstract: A wear detection probe is provided to cushion an impact from a rotor to the wear detection probe and to hold the wear detection probe in a specified position during the contact with the rotor. For these purposes, a biasing mount plate 16 is formed with biasing pieces 21. A stopper mount plate 15 is formed with stopper pieces 19, and a wear detection probe 10 is provided with locking pins 14. When being subjected to an impact from a rotor R, the wear detection probe 10 moves backward while the biasing pieces 21 undergo an elastic deformation by being pushed by the locking pins 14, with the result that the impact is cushioned. When the wear detection probe 10 moves backward, the locking pins 14 come into contact with the stopper pieces 19 and, accordingly, the wear detection probe 10 is held in contact with the rotor R while being held in the specified position.
