Electric connector for electrically connecting a wire of one article to a contact of another article
Patent number: 7179134Abstract: An electric connector for electrically and mechanically connecting two articles, each having a conductive part, is able to reduce the number of electric connectors used in a connecting structure, to reduce the connecting work so as to reduce the costs of the connecting structure, and to make the connecting structure more compact. This electric connector includes a housing, which is fitted to at least one of the articles, and a contact, which is provided on the housing and has a connecting part to be connected to a conductive part of the first article and a contacting part to be made to press against and contact a conductive part of the second article. Elastic deflectable wings or locking pawls protrude from the housing to secure the connector to at least one of the articles.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2001Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: J.S.T. Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaaki Harasawa, Saburou Kase, Satoru Kihara -
Patent number: 7153173Abstract: An electric connector is connected to a conductive part, e.g. an electric wire, of a first article, and is fitted onto the first article and/or a second article. The contact of the electric connector directly contacts a conductive part of the second article with a sufficient contact pressure. The electric connector includes a housing fitted onto at least one of the articles, and a contact provided on the housing and including a connecting part connected to the conductive part of the first article, a contacting point contacting the conductive part of the second article, and an elastic part, which undergoes elastic deformation when the contacting point is pressed. The housing and/or the contact has a holding member, which holds the elastic part in an elastically deformed condition in advance in the direction of pressing the contacting point and prevents the restoring movement thereof.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2003Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: J.S.T. Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaaki Harasawa, Saburou Kase, Satoru Kihara

Patent number: 6589082Abstract: An electric connector is connected to an electric wire of a first article, and is to be fitted onto the first article and/or a second article. The contact of the electric connector shall directly contact a conductive part of the second article. To prevent the electric wire or the wired contact from coming of the housing of the connector, a retainer is provided. The electric connector's housing has a receiving groove that is recessed into the front housing face which faces the second article, and that has an open groove end at one housing side face and a closed groove end at another housing side face. A contact is inserted into the receiving groove and includes a connecting part to be connected to the electric wire of the first article and a contacting part which is located closer than the connecting part to the closed groove end and which is to contact the conductive part of the second article.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2001Date of Patent: July 8, 2003Assignee: J. S. T. Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaaki Harasawa, Saburou Kase, Satoru Kihara
