  • Publication number: 20200021089
    Abstract: A coating removing device is provided which enables an improved operation efficiency of a middle-stripping operation of a coating element. The coating removing device comprises a circumferential cutter and a longitudinal cutter. The coating element is cut at two locations by the circumferential cutter to form two circumferential cut lines and the coating element is cut between the two circumferential cut lines by the longitudinal cutter so that the coating element can be removed between the two circumferential cut lines from the coated electric wire. This enables an automation of the middle-stripping operation of the coating element and improvement of the operation efficiency.

  • Patent number: 5730617
    Abstract: A guide structure for an electronic unit in an electrical connection box is attached to a unit attaching surface while inserted along guide walls of an electrical connection box body. Guide grooves, each extending in an electronic unit insertion direction, are arranged at least on outer surfaces of confronting peripheral walls of the electronic unit, and guide ribs that are engageable with the guide grooves and that can position an electronic unit of different size are projectingly disposed on the unit attaching surface. The guide structure for the electronic unit can prevent oblique insertion of the electronic unit when the electronic unit is attached to the electrical connection box while inserted between guide walls of the electrical connection box. The guide structure also allows attachment of the electronic unit of different size.

  • Patent number: 5229922
    Abstract: An electrical junction box is constituted by accommodating bus-bar circuit board composed of a plurality of bus-bars and an insulating plate in a case member composed of upper, lower and side cases. The bus-bar has a terminal for a connector vertically erecting from the surface of the bus-bar and introduced into fastening portions of the upper and lower cases and a terminal extending in parallel to the surface of the bus-bar while keeping a level difference so as to be accommodated in the housing of the side case at a predetermined pitch. In order to easily align the terminals and easily assemble and fasten a predetermined terminal or a connector, a boss and a cut portion are formed to correspond to the insulating plate for the purpose of supporting the terminal. As an alternative to this, a support member is inserted between the insulating plates.
