Patent number: 8448814Abstract: Fit structure of a housing formed of first and second halves is provided. The first half has a fit projection piece having a fit tongue at the tip. The second half has a presser part and an engaging piece constituting a fit groove. The fit projection piece, presser part and engaging piece are formed so that the fit tongue is positioned in the inner part of the fit groove along the root of the presser part. The housing further has a nail stuck out in an inward or outward direction of the housing and a nail holder engaged with the nail. The nail and nail holder are located at one and the other of a part of the fit projection piece and a corresponding part of the engaging piece. The part of the fit projection piece is nearer to the root of the fit projection piece than the fit tongue.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2007Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Ritsu Yamamoto, Masahiro Ito, Motoharu Kubo

Patent number: 8395463Abstract: A sealed receptacle includes a case, a cylindrical member, and a closure plate. The sealed receptacle is configured to house a fixed contact, a movable contact, and an arc protection member. The arc protection member includes a peripheral wall, and a bottom. The peripheral wall is configured to conceal a junction between the case and the cylindrical member from the fixed contact and the movable contact. The bottom is interposed between the movable contact and the closure plate. The sealed receptacle houses a contact pressure provision member configured to bias the movable contact to come into contact with the fixed contact. The contact pressure provision member is interposed between the movable contact and the bottom so as to come into resilient contact with both the movable contact and the bottom irrespective of a position of the movable contact.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2009Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Masahiro Ito, Ritsu Yamamoto, Motoharu Kubo, Tsukasa Nishimura
