Patent number: 7931496Abstract: A connector includes a housing to be attached to a front face of a panel. A panel has a mounting opening through which a rear portion of the housing is inserted. The rear portion of the housing has a lance extending in a direction parallel to the front face of the panel. The mounting opening has a concave portion through which the lance is inserted. When the housing is moved in a first direction along the front face of the panel, a locking piece that continues to a concave portion locks the tip of the lance such that the housing is difficult to move in a second direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2010Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: J.S.T. Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka Ushiro, Katsuyuki Masaki

Patent number: 6824420Abstract: There is provided an electric connector for simplifying the structure of the cable holding mechanism without using a special cable holding piece, reducing the number of man-hours by simplifying the operation of attaching the cable holding mechanism to a connector housing. The electric connector with a cable holding mechanism comprises a plug proper having a plurality of connector terminals fitted therein at an inner opening thereof and a cable drawing face from which wires connected to the connector terminals is drawn out, a cover cap to be fitted to the plug proper in a state where the cable drawing face is covered therewith and the cable is drawn outside, and a cable holding mechanism formed on a wall face of the cover cap. The cable holding mechanism is made up of two vertical grooves each having a width in which a flexible strip-like piece of a cable bundling piece is inserted at a position in the vicinity of a cable drawing opening formed at the inner face of the cover cap.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2002Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: J.S.T. Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka Ushiro, Katsuyuki Masaki, Yusuke Hamada

Patent number: 6773270Abstract: A unit is composed in such a manner that the circuit board is fixed along the back face of the plug housing into which the contacts are incorporated. The plug type connector is assembled in such a manner that the cover housing is slid in parallel with the surface of the circuit board and incorporated into the unit. At this time, the edge section of the circuit board and the edge section of the plug housing, which is set along the circuit board, are introduced into the guide groove of the cover housing.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2001Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Assignee: J.S.T. Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kohei Ushio, Yutaka Ushiro

Patent number: 6764312Abstract: A connector for coupling panels which does not influence upon an electrically connected part of a connector to be attached to a panel even if an external force is applied to the panel. The connector for coupling panels comprises an insulating housing having a through hole therein through which connector terminals are fitted therein, flanges orthogonal to a direction of insertion and removal through the insulating housing and projected outwardly from at least one wall face of the insulating housing, comprising front and back faces, respectively, and a pair of retainer members having flexibility, fixedly attached to both side ends or both up-down ends of the insulating housing, respectively, wherein the retainer members are provided with a pair of retainer stepped parts, facing each other, and there is a gap for allowing fixture of the panel between the front and back faces of the respective flanges and the respective retainer stepped parts of the retainer members.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2002Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Assignee: J.S.T. Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka Ushiro, Katsuyuki Masaki, Yusuke Hamada

Patent number: 6752642Abstract: A connector with retainer members which is not broken even if elastic retainer pieces of the retainer members are excessively bent when the connector is attached to a panel. The connector with retainer members comprises an insulating housing proper having penetration holes inside thereof through which a plurality of connector terminals are fitted therein, flanges protruded outwardly from right and left or upper and lower wall faces of the housing proper in a direction orthogonal to a direction of insertion and removal of the connector, a pair of retainer members having elasticity and fixedly attached to both sides of the back face of the flanges.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2002Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: J.S.T. Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka Ushiro, Katsuyuki Masaki, Yusuke Hamada

Patent number: 6648681Abstract: A connector with retainer members attachable to a panel from a direction of either a front or back wall face thereof, and easily removable from the panel. The connector comprises an insulating housing having a through hole therein with connector terminals fitted in the through-hole, flanges orthogonal to a direction of insertion and removal through the insulating housing and projected outwardly from at least one wall face of the insulating housing, comprising front and back wall faces, respectively, and a pair of retainer members having flexibility, fixedly attached to both side ends or both up-down ends of the insulating housing, respectively. The retainer members are provided with a pair of retainer stepped parts, facing each other, and there is a gap for allowing fixture of the panel between the front and back wall faces of the respective flanges and the respective retainer stepped parts of the retainer members.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2002Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: J.S.T.
