Patent number: 7637781Abstract: A hinge section including bending sections at both side edges of a band plate section is provided in center of a busbar. On both sides of the hinge section, two fuse circuit constituting plate sections are integrally formed to be linked thereto. Two resin housings are assembled by insert molding to the respective fuse circuit constituting plate sections, thus forming two bodies. The two bodies are pivoted in the same direction at the bending sections, and engagement units are locked, thus constituting a fusible link unit having a U-shaped plan view. The two bodies are engaged with each other in vicinity areas of the hinge section in the opposed surfaces of the opposed resin housing when the two bodies are pivoted. The fusible link unit also includes recessed and projected guides guiding the two resin housings to proper positions.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2008Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Yusuke Matsumoto, Norihiro Ohashi

Patent number: 7597595Abstract: In a terminal connection structure, a stud bolt is stood and inserted into a hole of a top plate portion of a terminal, and the nut is screwed and fastened to the stud bolt on the top plate, thus connecting the terminal to the stud bolt. A terminal accommodation section is formed by a tubular wall around the stud bolt. It has an opening and ribs at a part of a circumference thereof, and allows the terminal fixed to the stud bolt from above. The opening is formed so as to fit on a belt portion extending from the top plate portion toward a fixing portion of the terminal. The ribs are protruded on the protection wall. The ribs prevent the terminal from being detached upward when the terminal is being temporarily lifted. The ribs are arranged at different heights in a top-bottom direction of the stud bolt.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2008Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Norihiro Ohashi, Asako Takahashi
