  • Patent number: 6597578
    Abstract: An electrical connection box has an electric circuit board. A plurality of blocks are selectively mountable on the periphery of the electric circuit board. The selected ones of the blocks form sidewalls that surround the periphery of the electric circuit board. The blocks are selected from the group including (a) at least one electric component mounting block for accommodating an electric component; (b) at least one external circuit connection block for accommodating an external circuit connector; and (c) at least one solid, sidewall block for forming a portion of the sidewalls.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6464181
    Abstract: A holder can hold a flat cable without forming a through opening in the flat cable and without breaking it during an attaching work. A holder (12) comprises a substantially flat plate-like main body member (13), a band member (15) for clamping a flat cable (11) in cooperation with the main body member (13) so that a surface of the main body member (13) presses the flat cable (11), and a self-locking member (17) provided on a rear side of the main body member (13) and adapted to engage with a vehicle panel (18). The main body member (13) is provided on its surface with an elongated rib (20) that contacts the flat cable (11) in cooperation with the band member (15).

  • Patent number: 5316789
    Abstract: A method of water-proofing a connected portion of electric wires is disclosed which improves the efficiency of water-proofing and prevents the connected portion from becoming enlarged after working. An injector 10 filled with a water-proof insulation adhesion agent 11 is disposed above a tapping roll 7 of a known tape winder so that a nozzle 9 of the injector 10 is directed to the roll 7. A water-proof sheet 1 cut in a desired size is fed on the tapping roll 7. A predetermined amount of the adhesion agent is dropped on the sheet 1 from the nozzle 9 to form a deposit 2 of the adhesion agent. A supplementary sheet 4 made of a water-proof insulation material is applied to the connected portion 3 and then the connected portion 3 with the supplementary sheet 4 is put on the deposit 2 to form a sandwich type construction in which the portion 3 is disposed between the sheets 1 and 4. Then, the connected portion 3 is pushed down into a slot 8 of the tapping roll 7.
