Abstract:
The invention provides an abrasion detecting probe for a brake pad which does not require insert-moulding and in which production costs are low. A probe 20 is housed in base components 35 and 36, which are snap-fitted together. In this manner, the terminal 22 can be attached within the base member 21 in a precise predetermined position by the simple operation of joining the base components 35 and 36 together. Therefore, as opposed to a conventional probe, insert-moulding is not required and the probe can be manufactured simply and cheaply. A sleeve 50 may provide an audible brake wear warning.
Abstract:
To prevent a detecting electric wire (20) of a brake pad from moving, a stopper member (12) is provided in a holder (10). Two wires (22) extending a wire holder, are made to intersect close to the posterior of a stopper (12), and are maintained in this intersecting state by a cable tie (13). The stopper member (12) engages the intersecting portion (23) of the wire (20) in a posterior direction, thereby preventing the wire (20) from moving in an anterior direction even under a strong pulling force from the rotor R.
Abstract:
A mount construction of a wear detection probe for a brake pad is provided which is capable of absorbing an image caused by a contact of the wear detection probe with a rotor. Coil springs 42 are mounted on bolts 41 used to mount a bracket 30 on a support base 12, and the bracket 30 is held in close contact with the support base 12 by biasing forces thereof. When the probe 20 is brought into contact with a rotor upon the application of braking, the coil springs 42 are compressively deformed, thereby absorbing an impact caused by a contact of the rotor 10 and the probe 20. The mount construction of the probe 20 has an enhanced reliability by absorbing the impact on the probe 20.
Abstract:
A frame-shaped cover (30) for covering resilient holding pieces (23) is mounted at an opening edge of a fitting (11), and clearances Cb for permitting displacements of the cover (30) in forward and backward directions intersecting a mounting direction of a base (51) with respect to the fitting (11) are defined between the outer surfaces of front and rear walls (13F, 13R)) of the fitting (11) and the cover (30). Even if the base (51) is displaced forward or backward with respect to the fitting (11), the cover (30) can be displaced in conformity with the position of the base (51), wherefore the base (51) can be mounted reliably into the fitting (11).
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to improve operability. Stoppers (74) are detachably mounted in a lower mold (70) of a mold. Nuts (30) are screwed down onto the stoppers (74) while being held upside down. After the mold is closed in this state and molten resin is filled into a cavity (77) and solidified therein, the mold is opened. The stoppers (74) are separated from the lower mold (70) as the mold is opened. When the stoppers (74) are separated from the nuts (30) thereafter, a casing 10 having no pin withdrawal hole can be obtained. Accordingly, it is not necessary to apply potting or the like to close the pin withdrawal hole.
Abstract:
An optical connector for a two-core optical fiber cord 1 is constructed by coupling a housing main body portion for holding ferrule portions 5 fitted to top end portions of paired optical fiber cores 2 with a cord receiving portion 30 for holding an end portion of a covering member 3. The cord receiving portion 30 includes paired cord receiving split members 31A, 31B, and core-guiding-path forming concave portions 33A, 33B for guiding paired optical fiber cores 2 to the outside are formed in the cord receiving split members 31A, 31B. Paired guiding pins 34A, 34B for guiding paired optical fiber cores 2 to separate into an almost Y-shape are formed in the core-guiding-path forming concave portions 33A, 33B, and holding pieces 22 used to couple the housing main body portion with the cord receiving portion 30 can be prevented from contacting to the optical fiber cores 2.
Abstract:
An electrical noise-reducing member has concentric inner and outer cylindrical portions. The outer cylindrical portion is of electrical noise-reducing magnetic material, and the inner cylindrical portion is of elastically deformable material and has a longitudinal through-hole. In use, an electrically conductive element, such as a connector terminal, is inserted into the through-hole to elastically secure the element to the noise-reducing member.
Abstract:
In forming a molded member (30) by insert molding, a porous member (10) and a cylindrical member (20) fitted on a peripheral edge of the porous member (10) are set in a die (40); and the molded member (30) is formed with the molded member (30) out of contact with the porous member (10) and with the molded member (30) in close contact with an outer surface of the cylindrical member (20) by the insert molding. Therefore a landed position (first landed surface (45A), second landed surface (45B)) of the die (40) is set on the outer surface of the cylindrical member (20). Thus there is no fear that liquid resin penetrates into the pores of the porous member (10) in the insert molding. Thereby by the insert molding, it is possible to form the molded member (30) holding the porous member (10).
Abstract:
A back cover of a motor vehicle lamp includes a plurality of types of blocks provided with joints that join the blocks together; terminals fixed to a connector of the plurality of types of blocks, and bulb holders; and a cord wired between the terminals. The blocks are selected to match with a structure of a motor vehicle lamp, and the selected blocks are joined together via the joints. As a result, it is possible to structure the back cover to match with a variety of structures of the motor vehicle lamp. Further, it is possible to have in common a plurality of types of blocks that constitute the back cover. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture the back cover at low cost.
Abstract:
An electrical connector has a housing and an electrical terminal mounted in the housing. An electrical noise-reducing member, which is a body of magnetic material, is carried on the terminal and has a through-hole through which the terminal extends. A stop member is secured on the terminal to abut the end of the magnetic member at which the terminal emerges from the through-hole. The stop member prevents the noise-reducing member from sliding along the terminal.
