  • Patent number: 9490551
    Abstract: A fitting-equipped electrically conductive sheet and a connection fitting configured to electrically connect to another member, in which both a low connection resistance and a high fixing strength are easily achieved. The connection fitting has a crimp section that is crimped to an edge section of the electrically conductive sheet material. The crimp section includes a pair of plate-shaped holding sections between which the edge section of the sheet material is sandwiched, and a folded-back section that connects them. One of the pair of plate-shaped holding sections has a band-shaped recess on an outer surface of an intermediate region between the folded-back section and the opposite edge section, the band-shaped recess being band-shaped by being more strongly crimped to the sheet material than other parts.

  • Patent number: 9241431
    Abstract: An electromagnetic shielding tool that includes a metallic cloth and two bracket body portions. The two bracket body portions each include two elongated portions and a coupling portion, and respectively hold a first outer edge portion and a second outer edge portion on the side opposite to the first outer edge portion among four outer edge portions of the metallic cloth so as to form a ring that surrounds the periphery of electrical wires. The two elongated portions are made of a conductive material, are joined to the metallic cloth in the state of being arranged in series along an outer edge portion of the metallic cloth, and form a ring shape due to being combined with each other on two sides of the electrical wires. The coupling portion couples end portions of the two elongated portions to each other and holds the two elongated portions in the ring shape.
