  • Patent number: 11217939
    Abstract: A power circuit shut off device includes a housing and a switch portion provided in the housing, and an operating member configured to turn on or turns off the switch portion. The switch portion includes a pair of terminals arranged along a bottom face of the housing, an electric conductive member having contact point portions and that is elastically urged toward the pair of terminals, and an insulating movable member configured to move along a direction in which the pair of terminals are arranged. The pair of terminals are brought into electric conductive to each other when the pair of terminals contact the contact point portions respectively. The insulating movable member is moved between a shut-off position and a conductive position by an operation on the operating member.

  • Patent number: 11063390
    Abstract: A connector includes a first and second connector housings, a first and second terminals provided in the first and second connector housings, the second terminal including contact pieces with a gap therebetween, the gap being larger than a width dimension of the first terminal. The second connector housing includes pressing plate portions. The second terminal is to be accommodated between the pressing plate portions, the second terminal being displaceable between a first position and a second position, a part of the contact pieces extends beyond distal ends of the pressing plate portions when the second terminal is in the first position, the part of the contact pieces are completely retracted into a space between the pressing plate portions when the second terminal is in the second position. The contact pieces are to be pushed such that the contact pieces contact the terminal plate portions.

  • Patent number: 10818417
    Abstract: A conductive member includes a flat conductor having a substantially rectangular cross section, first and second cover members disposed so as to face each other with respect to front and back surfaces of the flat conductor, and sandwiching the flat conductor in a plate thickness direction of the flat conductor to cover the flat conductor, a locking portion provided on the first cover member and protruding toward the second cover member, and an engagement portion provided on the second cover member, and configured to hold the first and second cover members in a state that the flat conductor is sandwiched between the first and second cover members and the engagement portion engages with the locking portion which passes through a through hole provided in a central portion of the flat conductor.
