Abstract: Seismic device includes acceleration sensor that successively outputs an acceleration value according to magnitude of acceleration of applied vibrations, earthquake determining unit that differentiates and determines an earthquake and a shock from the acceleration value output from acceleration sensor, and seismic intensity calculator that calculates a seismic intensity equivalent value from the acceleration value output from acceleration sensor. Further, earthquake determining unit differentiates and determines an earthquake and a shock from a generation pattern of binary values binarizing the acceleration value output from acceleration sensor with the predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A pair of terminal portions of a bus bar is composed of a first terminal portion and a second terminal portion extended along a sidewall of the base portion. Each of the first and second terminal portions has a spring portion for generating biasing force toward a direction of holding the base portion, and a contact portion provided on a tip of the spring portion. The contact portion of the first terminal portion abuts on a contact lead wire, and the contact portion of the second terminal portion abuts on the sidewall of the base portion, thereby the contact portions hold the base portion therebetween. In a natural condition that the bulb is not inserted and the spring portion is not elastically deformed, the pair of terminal portions is displaced from a center plane toward the one side corresponding to a projection size of the contact lead wire.

Abstract: A pair of terminal portions of a bus bar (i.e. a terminal clamp) includes spring portions each of which is arranged to exert a pushing force in a direction of sandwiching a base portion of a bulb, and contact portions each provided at a tip portion of the spring portion. A housing (i.e. a socket body) includes regulation portions located on opposite side of the terminal portions and arranged to abut on the terminal portions from opposite side of the base portion to regulate elastic deformation amount of the spring portions to be within a predetermined value.

Abstract: The switch structure is configured to have a switch knob, a lens for transmitting the light of a bulb in the interior of a vehicle, a bus bar connected between the bulb side and the power source side (not shown), and a convex portion protruding toward the switch knob. A conductive element is formed to have a bulb-side abutment portion that abuts on a bulb-side bus bar and is connected thereto and a power source side abutment portion that abuts on a power source side bus bar and is connected thereto. When attached to an operating element, the conductive element is configured to be retractable in a push direction and to be rotatable in a rotational direction relative to the operating element and slidably contacts with the bus bar upon rotation of the switch knob.

Abstract: An illuminating unit includes an electronic component that emits illumination light, a busbar that includes a electric connecting part which electrically connects the electric component and the outside of the electronic component, and a locking part which has elasticity and sandwiches and holds the electronic component, a housing that accommodates the busbar, and a cover that is assembled to the housing and includes an opening part through which the illumination light passes. The locking part includes a contact part and a pressing part. The contact part abuts with a fringe of the opening part when the cover is assembled to the housing. The pressing part follows the contact part and presses the electronic component by being deformed in a state where the cover is assembled to the housing.
