Patent number: 9419400Abstract: The invention provides a terminal chain so that a terminal can be connected with a signal conductor only by being press-formed by dies. A rectangular piece (12) is jointed to an end part extending in the longitudinal direction of a carrier (11). The rectangular piece (12) is placed in dies (40, 50) for press-forming. A signal conductor W1 exposed at one end of a wire W is placed on the rectangular piece (12). The rectangular piece (12) is press-formed by the dies (40, 50) to enclose the signal conductor W1. A terminal (20) which is connected with the signal conductor W1 is formed. The contacting position of the carrier (11) and the terminal (20) is disconnected.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2014Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventor: Taishi Morikawa

Patent number: 9106040Abstract: In the invention, an upper die (18) includes an anti-extrusion projection (17) that projects toward a signal conductor (14) placed on an upper side of a terminal forming piece (12) loaded on a lower die (19) and a die inner wall surface (18a) that situated on either side of the anti-extrusion projection (17) and that folds the terminal forming piece (12). When the terminal forming piece (12) is crimped to the signal conductor (14) by means of the upper die (18) and the lower die (19), the anti-extrusion projection (17) presses the signal conductor (14) downward, and the die inner wall surfaces (18a) fold the terminal forming piece (12) such that both ends of the terminal forming piece (12) come close to the anti-extrusion projection (17).Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2011Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventor: Taishi Morikawa
