  • Patent number: 6196877
    Abstract: An electrical connection box comprises lower and upper casings capable of being combined with each other, an electrically insulating wiring board located between the casings and having a wire laid in a desired shape thereon, a busbar in contact with at least a part of a wire laying surface of the wiring board, and an insulating plate located between the lower casing and the wiring board and/or between the upper casing and the wiring board. The insulating plate has thereon a projection for pressing the laid wire away from the busbar. The wiring board is formed with a laying groove in which the wire is laid. Post-formed protuberances for preventing the wire from getting out of the laying groove are formed in predetermined portions of the laying groove.

  • Patent number: 6017239
    Abstract: An electrical connection container suitable for mounting in a vehicle etc., provided with a plurality of press-fit terminals provided with engagement projections bent in directions perpendicular to the plane including press-fitting portions, whereby the pitch between the terminal portions may be reduced while securing an insulating distance and therefore the electrical connection container can be made smaller. Wire pressing ribs are provided projecting out from the bottom surface of a subplate so as to press the wires and press-fit them in the press-fitting portions of the press-fitting portions, at which time the wire pressing ribs push the wires riding above the spaces between protective walls into the space between the protective walls and thereby ensure stability of the electrical connection while keeping the wires substantially straight. Further, wires press-fit to the wire press-fit portions of the press-fit terminals are cut for each of the circuits and then laid.

  • Patent number: 5009584
    Abstract: Described herein is an interlock system for an isostatic press machine of the type including a high pressure container having upper and lower closure plugs releasably received in upper and lower openings to be used for loading and unloading work therethrough, and a holder frame for supporting the axial force of the container in an isostatic pressing phase of the press operation, the holder frame being pivotally supported at one side thereof for swinging movements about a vertical axis into and out of a holding position in engagement with the high pressure container, wherein the interlock system is provided with a lock mechanism constantly urged to lock the holder frame in the holding position, and a control means adapted to control the lock mechanism to maintain the lock on the holder frame when the internal pressure of the high pressure container is higher than a predetermined level and to release the lock when lower than the predetermined level.
