  • Publication number: 20180347440
    Abstract: A support member is fixed to an outer circumferential surface of an exhaust pipe with a bracket. The bracket comprises a main body and a flange portion. The main body has a cylindrical shape, whose diameter increases gradually. The flange portion is arranged so as to extend outward from a large-diameter end, which is an end having a larger diameter in the main body. The flange portion is joined to the outer circumferential surface of the exhaust pipe. The support member comprises a rod-like end, which is an end in a rod-like shape. The support member is joined to a rim portion of an opening of a small-diameter end, which is one end having a smaller diameter in the main body, such that the rod-like end is inserted into the opening.

  • Patent number: 8876542
    Abstract: A connector for connecting an electric-power-transmission power cable to an electric device installed in a vehicle, includes a device socket, a cable plug that is plugged in or unplugged from the device socket, and a detection switch that is electrically turned on or off by a mechanical contact point provided on the device socket and a mechanical contact point provided on the cable plug. The device socket includes a contact terminal of the detection switch. The cable plug includes a plug housing that is electrically grounded by being connected to the device socket and a cover plate that covers an opening of the plug housing. The cover plate includes an insulative plate body and a contact conductor that contacts with the contact terminal of the detection switch. The plate body and the contact conductor are integrally molded.
