Abstract: A conductive path structure includes a conductor that includes a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion which are connected to each other through a cut-off facilitating portion, and an insulation member that covers the cut-off facilitating portion directly or indirectly. When the cut-off facilitating portion is cut off so as to separate the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion to each other due to an impact applied to the cut-off facilitating portion, the insulation member is configured so as to cover the separated first conductive portion and the separated second conductive portion.

Abstract: A connector includes a terminal electrically connected to an end of an electric wire, and a connector housing which accommodates the terminal and the electric wire. The terminal is capable of being fastened to an opposite member by means of a fastening member so that the terminal is electrically connected to the opposite member. The connector housing includes a housing arm which supports the terminal so as to be displaceable in a direction in which the fastening member is fastened to the opposite member.

Abstract: A sewing machine has a machine housing. A group of pattern cams is arranged in the housing. A cam follower is movable along the group of pattern cams for selecting a desired one of these cams. A pattern indicating panel on the housing shows a row of pattern illustrations corresponding to the patterns which can be produced by the pattern cams. A manual arrangement moves the cam follower along the group of cams. An electrically illuminable pattern pointer is connected to the arrangement and movable along the row of pattern illustrations, in timed relation with the movement of the cam follower to point out a pattern illustration corresponding to a selected pattern cam. An electric circuit, including a power source and a switch electrically connects the power source with the pattern pointer to illuminate the latter.
