  • Patent number: 11955760
    Abstract: A terminal block includes a housing including a connection surface to which an electromagnetic relay is connectable. The housing includes at least one attachment groove that opens to the connection surface and extends toward inside of the housing. The at least one attachment groove includes a first groove portion and a second groove portion are disposed adjacent to and communicating with each other. The first groove portion includes a first narrow width portion disposed near the connection surface, a wide width portion disposed farther from the connection surface than the first narrow width portion, and a step portion at a boundary of the first narrow width portion and the wide width portion, the step portion being capable of restricting a movement of the holding member in a removal direction. The second groove portion is configured to be capable of accommodating the claw portion without elastically deforming.

  • Patent number: 11932221
    Abstract: A system and method control an automobile by decelerating the automobile at a first deceleration using a braking mechanism in response to detecting that a parking brake switch is turned on, a second deceleration which is smaller than the first deceleration, in response to not detecting that the parking brake switch is turned on and determining that the driver is incapacitated, and a third deceleration which is smaller than the first deceleration, in response to determining that an SOS switch is turned on, detecting that the parking brake switch is changed from on to off, and not determining that the driver is incapacitated.

  • Publication number: 20230062343
    Abstract: A socket includes a housing including a connection surface to which an electronic device is connected, and a lever attached to the housing to be rotatable. The lever includes an operation portion that is rotatable between a first position and a second position and a contact portion that extends from the operation portion in a direction approaching the connection surface and rotates about the rotation axis together with the operation portion. The housing includes a restriction protrusion that comes into contact with a protruding portion protruding from the side portion of the electronic device toward the operation portion at the second position to restrict a movement of the electronic device in the first direction and in a direction away from the connection surface when the operation portion is rotated from the first position to the second position in a state where the electronic device is connected to the connection surface.

  • Patent number: 10374337
    Abstract: A terminal block includes a housing that has an opening through which a wire is to be inserted, a terminal configured to be connected to the wire that is inserted through the opening, and a plate spring member configured to fix the wire by pressing the wire against the terminal. The plate spring member has a pressing portion configured to press the wire against the terminal, and a plastic deformation preventing portion configured to prevent the pressing portion from bending in a direction away from the terminal by more than a predetermined amount.

  • Patent number: 9819121
    Abstract: A screwless terminal block allows easy insertion and removal of a wire. A housing (2) includes a fixture insertion opening (23) through which a rod-like fixture (6) is inserted to come in contact with a contact pressure spring (4) and deform the spring (4) away from a wire (5). When the fixture (6) is inserted through the fixture insertion opening (23), an acute angle of 45° or less is formed by an axis of the fixture (6) and a straight line connecting a contact point A between the housing (2) and a part of the fixture (6) adjacent to the wire insertion opening (24) and a contact point B between the housing (2) and a part of the fixture (6) adjacent to the spring (4) at a cross-section taken along a plane including the axis of the fixture (6) and parallel to a pressing direction of the spring (4).
