  • Patent number: 6739919
    Abstract: An electrical connection box is comprised of a wiring base group constituted by a minimum number of wiring bases required to realize a wiring pattern suitable to specifications of the connection box. Each wring base includes a base body, wing portions provided on an outer periphery of the base body having end faces each formed with a coupling portion to which another wiring base of the same construction can be coupled, and guide portions integral with the wing portions and projecting circumferentially therefrom. In receiving a wire fed from a wiring head in a desired wire groove of the wing portions via a corresponding wire guide groove of the guide portions, the guide portion concerned prevents the wire from being dislocated from the wire groove, resulting in increased wiring speed, shortened wiring time and reduced manufacturing costs.

  • Patent number: 6468102
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method of manufacturing a wiring board, and an electric connection box manufactured by retaining the manufactured wiring board in a case. The method comprises the steps of winding electric wires around an insulating plate in first and second directions different from each other; cutting the electric wires at a first desired position; connecting the electric wires at a second desired position where the electric wires cross each other; and attaching a connecting terminal to the electric wires at a third desired position.
