Abstract: A tolerance absorbing structure of a first power supply distribution box includes a connection terminal to which one end part of a flat distribution member is connected and fixed; a storage case including a connection opening member into which the connection terminal is inserted and fixed to a vehicle body; an elastic support member configured to support the connection terminal freely movably in a three-dimensional direction with respect to the connection opening member; and a flexible conductor configured to connect a substrate connection part of a circuit conductor stored in the storage case and the connection terminal with an extra length.

Abstract: The system includes, in addition to the sleeve (11), a tubular core (12) for keeping in a stretched condition the sleeve, adapted to receive inside it the elongate member, and a film (13) with a low coefficient of friction placed between the sleeve (11) and the core (12) to enable the core to slide relative to the sleeve. The film (13) extends at least from a first end (15) of the sleeve to a first end (17) of the core (12) opposite the first end (15) of the sleeve, makes a half-turn at the first end (17) of the core (12) and then extends inside the core as far as its second end (18) at which it makes a half-turn and then extends outside the core (12) as far as the sleeve (11) to which it is fixed externally.

Abstract: A retractable umbilical system includes an umbilical connector assembly, a latching connector assembly, and a retracting umbilical extending between the umbilical connector assembly and the latching connector assembly. The umbilical connector assembly is configured to bias the retracting umbilical into a retracted configuration. The latching connector assembly is configured to selectively retain the retracting umbilical in an extended configuration. The umbilical connector assembly includes a roller that is in contact with the retracting umbilical.

Abstract: A connector including a housing and a contact is disclosed for electrically connecting a first electrical device to a second electrical device across the contact in such a manner that the contact is broken if the connector is removed from the second electrical device. The contact includes a press-fit connection that may be either a compliant eye-of-the-needle or a cylindrical tail.

Abstract: A breakable connector for connecting a vehicle to a power source includes a first fitting and a second fitting coupled to one another. The first fitting includes a radially extending flange, a plurality of radially extending ribs and an electrical connector. The second fitting includes an electrical connector and a receptacle for receiving a portion of the first fitting. The flange biasedly engages a first portion of the receptacle and the ribs engage a second portion of the receptacle. The first and second fittings are separable from one another when placed under a predetermined tensile force.

Abstract: A cord set for connecting a vehicle to a power source includes a first cord having a first connector adapted to be selectively connected to the power source and a second cord having a second connector adapted to be selectively connected to the vehicle. In addition, the cord set includes a coupling mechanism that selectively couples the first cord to the second cord. The coupling mechanism includes a first fitting fixedly attached to the first cord having a plurality of projections and a second fitting fixedly attached to the second cord having a plurality of apertures for matingly receiving the projections of the first fitting. The projections engage the apertures to connect the first fitting to the second fitting under normal operation and disengage the apertures to disconnect the first fitting from the second fitting when the cord set is place under a predetermined tensile force.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector wherein a retainer slides from a side direction of a connector housing in which it is to be installed. An object of the present invention is to provide a connector capable of preventing a connector connected in a condition in which the retainer is not installed, and transferred to subsequent processes. As a solution, a housing main body is provided with a slider capable of sliding, the slider is hooked in a regulating position in a condition in which the retainer is not installed on the housing main body, and interferes with detection pins provided on a male connector. Therefore the connection of both the connectors becomes impossible. To the contrary, when the retainer is installed on the housing main body, the slider is transferred from a regulating position to a permitting position by the slider contact part provided on the retainer which does not interfere with the detection pins, and the connection of both connectors is permitted.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes electrical conductor tracks adjacently disposed parallel to one another and running substantially in a first direction. The tracks have at least three electrical connection points that can be severed by energy. The connection points are offset with respect to one another both in the first direction and in a second direction at right angles thereto. A central connection point is disposed between two outer connection points viewed in both directions. The connection points are a constituent part of a central or of an outer conductor track. The central and outer tracks are disposed parallel to one another and run substantially in the first direction. Each outer conductor track has, at the level of the central connection point, an offset facing away from the latter and, at the level of the outer connection point of the respective other outer conductor track, an offset facing the latter.

Abstract: A structure for fixing an electrical junction assembly on a corner portion defined by a first attaching surface and a second attaching surface perpendicular to the first attaching surface, the fixing structure comprises an electrical junction assembly body including a wire harness drawn out from a first side face thereof, the first side face opposing to the first attaching surface, a first bracket including a first fastening portion parallel to the first side face and a through hole formed in the first fastening portion, into which a first bolt vertically provided on the first attaching surface is inserted, a second bracket including a second fastening portion parallel to a second side face opposing to the second attaching surface, and an elongated through hole formed in the second fastening portion and extending toward the first side wall, into which a second bolt vertically provided on the second attaching surface is inserted, and a thin breakable member provided on a face of the second fastening portion wh

Abstract: The device for disconnecting a releasable connector for connecting a flexible connecting element (3) of an umbilical tower to a launcher (2) of the type comprising a base (5) fixed on the launcher (2) and adapted to receive a plug (6) connected to the flexible connecting element (3) and comprising pullaway means (7) for releasing the plug upon firing the launcher connected to an end of a pulling element (8), is characterized in that it comprises an element (10) capable of breaking upon firing the launcher for fastening the flexible connecting element (3) to the launcher.
