  • Publication number: 20220338358
    Abstract: An electrical apparatus disclosed herein includes first/second electrical units configured to be fixed to each other. The first electrical unit has a first surface including a connector. The second electrical unit has a second surface facing the first surface of the first electrical unit. The second surface includes a socket configured to fit with the connector. One of the first and second electrical units includes a stud bolt extending toward the other of the first electrical unit and the second electrical unit, and the other of the first and second electrical units includes a bolt hole through which the stud bolt is configured to pass. When the second electrical unit is separated from the first electrical unit with the second surface facing the first surface, a bolt-hole distance from the stud bolt to the bolt hole is shorter than a connector-socket distance from the connector to the socket.

  • Patent number: 10544820
    Abstract: A washer-equipped screw is provided with a screw body, a flat washer, and a rubber washer. The screw body includes a cylindrical portion between a shaft portion on which a screw groove is formed and a head portion. A hole in the flat washer is inserted through the cylindrical portion so as to be adjacent to the head portion. A hole in the rubber washer is inserted through the cylindrical portion and positioned on a shaft portion side of the flat washer. The cylindrical portion is provided with a projection for engagingly locking the flat washer. An inner edge of the flat washer is caught by the projection, whereby the flat washer is prevented from detaching.
