  • Patent number: 11169183
    Abstract: A current sensor includes a bus bar, a magnetic core, and a casing. The bus bar includes a plate-shaped portion. The magnetic core surrounds the plate-shaped portion. The casing houses the bus bar and magnetic core. A thickness direction of the magnetic core is along a longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped portion. The casing includes lower and upper casings. The lower casing includes first and second press-fit portions. The first press-fit portion includes a groove portion into which the plate-shaped portion is press-fitted. In a state where the magnetic core is inserted downward into the second press-fit portion, both-side portions of the magnetic core in a width direction are press-fitted and held by the second press-fit portion. The upper casing includes a pressing portion that presses the bus bar and magnetic core downward. The groove portion is recessed downward, and is along a thickness direction of the magnetic core.

  • Patent number: 7617575
    Abstract: Snap fasteners are attached to a fabric or substrate and resist water migration from one side of the fabric or substrate to an opposite side of the fabric or substrate. The water migration resistant snap fasteners resist water migration through the fabric to which the snap fastener is attached while maintaining secure attachment to the fabric. The water migration resistant snap fasteners have radially offset patterned circles of gripping protrusions which do not penetrate through the fabric. Also, the radial patterned circles of gripping protrusions securely grip the fabric and maintain the snap fasteners in the proper location on the fabric.
