  • Patent number: 8882530
    Abstract: Provided is a lever fitting-type connector wherein the time for connecting a second connector comprised of a plurality of connector segments to a first connector can be reduced; and a compact connector portion of a wire harness can be obtained. A second connector (14) fitted and connected to a first connector (13) by an operation for rotating a fitting operation lever (15) attached to the first connector (13), is configured by combining a main connector segment (31) with a subsidiary connector segment (32). The main connector segment (31) has a lever engagement portion (34) to be engaged with the fitting operation lever (15) when the main connector segment is fitted to an initial fitting position. The main connector segment (31) is shifted from the initial fitting position to a complete fitting position by an operation for rotating the fitting operation lever (15).

  • Patent number: 7915534
    Abstract: In a grommet (1), a centering unit and a temporary anchor unit are provided on an outer surface of a grommet inner member (2). The centering unit includes a plurality of centering portions (e.g., centering claws 8) configured to elastically abut on an attachment panel (20) at an inner edge thereof around an insertion hole (21) so as to position the grommet inner member (2) in a center of the insertion hole (21). The temporary anchor unit includes a plurality of engaging portions (e.g., temporary anchor claws 7) configured to engage with the inner edge of the attachment panel (20), thereby supporting the grommet (1) in an axial direction thereof before lock portions (e.g., lock claws 6) make the grommet inner member (2) retained at the inner edge of the attachment panel (20) around the insertion hole (21) when the grommet inner member (2) is inserted into the insertion hole (21).

  • Patent number: 7767911
    Abstract: A grommet (1) has a central shaft (2)through which a wire harness (5) is inserted. A circular connection portion (31) is provided continuously to the periphery of the central shaft(2.) A convex cross-sectionally V-shaped ring-like lip (32) is extensibly provided to the circular connection portion (31) in the direction of the center of the central shaft. A flange portion (33) is provided continuously to the lip portion (32.) When the grommet (1) is assembled to a body panel (10,) the lip (32) of the grommet (1) is extended in the direction of the center of the central shaft (2) of the grommet (1,) thereby reducing the diameter of the lip (32.) Then, the lip(32) is inserted into the through hole (12) of the body panel (10.) Thus, a low insertion force is sufficient when the grommet is inserted thereinto. Consequently, the assemblability of the grommet (1)is enhanced.
