  • Patent number: 10205278
    Abstract: It is aimed to improve connector connecting operability. A connector connecting device includes a connector holder (10) disposed on a body (90) of an automatic transmission while holding a plurality of holder-side connectors (50) and configured to collectively arrange the respective holder-side connectors (50) at positions corresponding to device-side connectors (82). The connector holder (10) includes holding portions (19) each configured to hold the holder-side connector (50) displaceably to an aligned position for aligning the holder-side connector (50) in a state connectable to the device-side connector (82) and a push-in position for connecting the holder-side connector (50) to the device-side connector (82) by the holder-side connector (50) being pushed from the aligned position.

  • Patent number: 9643544
    Abstract: A wiring unit includes a wiring harness (WH), a holding plate (2) for holding the wiring harness (WH), pairs of through holes (21A, 21B) formed through the holding plate (2), and tie bands (20) inserted through the pairs of through holes (21A, 21B) to fix the wiring harness (WH) to the holding plate (2). Each tie band (20) includes a band portion (23) having longitudinally spaced locking teeth (24) on one surface and to be inserted through the pair of through holes (21A, 21B), and a lock (25) provided on one end of the band portion (23) and including an insertion opening (26), through which a free end of the band portion (23) is inserted. A locking claw (27) in the insertion opening (26) retains the band portion (23) by selectively locking to a locking tooth (24). The paired through holes (21A, 21B) have mutually different shapes.
