Abstract: A lever (24) is formed with a separating cam surface (30) and an escaping space (31) disposed in a region more distant from a rotary shaft (13) than the separating cam surface (30). The separating cam surface (30) presses cam projections (23) of a moving plate (18) in a direction away from the rotary shaft (13) to separate both housings (10, 40) in the process of rotating the lever (24) to an initial position with the both housings (10, 40) connected. The cam projections (23) are accommodated into the escaping space (31) while being separated from the separating cam surface (30) in the process of rotating the lever (24) from the initial position to a connection position with the both housings (10, 40) separated and the moving plate (18) located at a protection position.

Abstract: It is aimed to provide a connector capable of ensuring predetermined sealability. A connector is provided with a housing connectable to a mating housing, a seal to be mounted into the housing, and a moving member movable with respect to the housing. The seal has a sealing surface to be held in close contact with the mating housing. The moving member is arranged at a position facing the sealing surface of the seal before connection of the both housings.

Abstract: A moving plate (12) for protecting tips of male tabs (15) is mounted into a receptacle (18). The moving plate (12) includes a peripheral wall (36) in the form of a rectangular frame, and the peripheral wall (36) includes long sides (43) and short sides (44). Projections (50) are provided on both sides across a center in a longitudinal direction on an outer surface of each long side (43). Recesses (31) shaped to correspond to the respective projections (50) and to be fit to the projections (50) are provided at positions corresponding to the projections (50) on an inner surface of the receptacle (18). Each of the projections (50) has a one-sided dovetail shape projecting toward a central side in the longitudinal direction, but not protruding toward an end side in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A female housing (40) is formed with a cam pin (41) having a projecting dimension larger than cam projections (23) of a moving plate (18), and a lever (24) is formed with a cam groove (28) for accommodating the cam projections (23) and the cam pin (41) in the process of connecting/separating both housings (10, 40). An escaping space (31) communicates with the cam groove (28) and is configured to restrict entrance of the cam pin (41) by being shallower than the cam groove (28). In the process of rotating the lever (24) from an initial position to a connection position in a state where the housings (10, 40) are separated and the moving plate (18) is at a protecting position, the cam projections (23) are accommodated into the escaping space (31) while being kept out of contact with the lever (24).

Abstract: A lever-type connector has a lever (24) with a cam groove (28) curved to approach a center of rotation (13) of the lever (24) from an entrance (28E) to a back side. Rotation of the lever (24) from an initial position to a connection position causes cam projections (23) of a moving plate (18) to displace in the cam groove (28) and to approach the center of rotation (13) of the lever (24) while sliding in contact with a cam pin (41) of a female housing (40). The cam projections (23) displace in an escaping space (31) of the lever (24) without changing a positional relationship with respect to the center of rotation (13) of the lever (24) as the lever (24) is rotated from the initial position to the connection position in a state out of contact with the cam pin (41).

Abstract: A lever (24) mounted on a male housing (10) is formed with a connecting cam surface (29) capable of pressing a cam pin (41) of a female housing (40) while being kept out of contact with cam projections (23) in the process of rotating the lever (24) from an initial position to a connection position, and the lever (24) is formed with an escaping space (31).

Abstract: A temperature detector detects a temperature of a battery. A charging unit charges the battery. A power reception coil receives a first electric power transmitted in a contactless manner from a power transmission coil of a contactless charging device. A supplying unit supplies the charging unit with a second electric power on the basis of the first electric power. A setting unit sets a supply current to be supplied from the supplying unit to the charging unit. A determination unit determines whether the battery is continuously charged. The setting unit sets the supply current to a value larger than a settable minimum value regardless of the temperature of the battery when the charging unit starts charging the battery on the basis of the second electric power, and reduces the supply current as the temperature is higher when the determination unit determines that the battery is continuously charged.

Abstract: A connection structure (10) is provided for connecting electrical storage element groups (12), each of which is formed by connecting electrical storage elements (13) having electrode terminals (14) in series, side by side. The electrical storage element groups (12) are connected electrically by connecting a connecting member (20) for connecting adjacent electrical storage element groups (12) to a first electrode terminal (16A) and a second electrode terminal (16B). The first electrode terminal (16A) is arranged on one end part of one electrical storage element group (12) and on the side of the adjacent other electrical storage element group (12) and the second electrode terminal (16B) is the electrode terminal (14) arranged on another end part of the other electrical storage element group (12B) opposite to the one end part of the one electrical storage element group (12A) and on the side of the adjacent one electrical storage element group (12A).

Abstract: A delayed power-on function for an electronic device is disclosed. A charging unit charges a rechargeable battery with a pre-charge current when a voltage of the rechargeable battery is less than a voltage threshold value and with a current larger than the pre-charge current when the voltage of the rechargeable battery is greater than the voltage threshold value. A controller can disable power-on when the voltage of the rechargeable battery is less than the voltage threshold value. A user may also be notified when power-on is disabled.
