  • Publication number: 20230268683
    Abstract: A connector assembly applied to a wire harness includes a connector and a connector cover that is attached to the connector. Furthermore, the connector cover includes: a wall part that forms a connector housing space part for housing an end part of the connector and a locking release part, and a routing space part which is positioned adjacent to the connector housing space part and in which a wiring material is routed; a hole part that is formed in the wall part, while being positioned adjacent to the locking release part and communicating inside and outside of the connector housing space part in a state of being attached to the connector; and a restriction part that is formed in the wall part and blocks the hole part from the routing space part in a state of being attached to the connector.

  • Patent number: 10804648
    Abstract: A connector housing includes a first side wall and a second side wall. The first side wall is to be pressed against a cylindrical member extending in a first direction. The second side wall is opposed to the first side wall in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The second side wall is formed with a front-side rib at one end in the first direction and a rear-side rib at the other end in the first direction. The front-side rib protrudes in the second direction and extends in a third direction perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction. The rear-side rib projects in the second direction and extends in the third direction. The front-side rib and the second side rib do not face to each other in the first direction.

  • Patent number: 10322686
    Abstract: A grommet includes a hollow grommet main body comprising an elastic material and a protector placed in a hollow space of the grommet main body. The protector has a deep-side end portion located in a deep-side area of the hollow space, an opening-end-side end portion located in an opening-end-side area of the hollow space, and a protector-side engagement portion engaged with the grommet main body when the protector is placed in the grommet main body. The grommet main body has a grommet-main-body-side engagement portion to exert a preventive force to the protector-side engagement portion for preventing separation of the protector from the grommet main body, while eliminating a structure to exert the preventive force to the opening-end-side end portion.

  • Patent number: 10305232
    Abstract: A connector housing includes a cylindrical side wall. The cylindrical side wall includes a concave surface on one side of an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical side wall in a first direction. The concave surface curves inwards into an arc shape and extends in a second direction, so that the concave surface is to be pressed against a cylindrical member with the second direction aligned with a direction in which the cylindrical member extends.

  • Patent number: 10207661
    Abstract: A grommet includes a hollow grommet main body, a protector placed in a hollow space of the grommet main body, and an outer member for fixing the grommet main body to an attachment surface. The grommet main body has a first grommet-main-body-side recess to engage with a protector-side projection of the protector, and a second grommet-main-body-side recess on an outer wall surface of the grommet main body to be adjacent to the first grommet-main-body-side recess. The outer member has an outer-member-side projection engaged with the second grommet-main-body-side recess. The protector-side projection and the outer-member-side projection are located to sandwich a portion of the grommet main body in a direction crossing to a pressing direction of the outer member when the protector is placed in the hollow space and the grommet main body being fixed to the attachment surface by the outer member.

  • Patent number: 9088099
    Abstract: A connector includes a temporary lock member having a mating arm provided at a connector housing and an arm mating hole provided at a cover body of a connector cover. The mating arm has an edge portion formed with a protruding portion. The arm mating hole is so configured that: in a position where the protruding portion abuts an interference inner wall face, the cover body is pressed inward while being rotated such that the cover body returns to a position where the cover body faces an inherent mounting direction of the cover body, which allows the protruding portion to get over the interference inner wall face and to be inserted to an insertion completion position; and in the insertion completion position, the arm mating hole sandwiches the protruding portion.
