Electric connection box
View Patent ↗An electric connection box having a main body, a guide wall disposed on the main body for retaining an electric component in a final connected state, and a protrusion disposed on an inner face of the guide wall for preventing movement of the electric component. The guide wall has flexibility and the protrusion contacts with the electric component, with the guide wall being bent outwardly when the electric competent is positioned in the final connected state. The electric connection box further includes a second cover having a locking member; wherein the locking member extends vertically and passes trough an aperture formed in the main body for engaging and locking the electric component.
1. An electric connection box comprising:
a main body;
a guide wall disposed on the main body for retaining an electric component in a final connected state; and
an upper protrusion disposed at an upper end portion and a lower protrusion disposed at a lower end portion on an inner face of the guide wall for preventing movement of the electric component, wherein
said guide wall has flexibility and the upper protrusion contacts with outer walls of the electric component with the guide wall being bent outwardly when said electric component is positioned in the final connected state.
2. The electric connection box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said guide wall has the upper protrusion at an upper end portion thereof and lower protrusion at a lower end portion thereof, and the upper protrusion extends toward the electric component more than the lower protrusion.
3. The electric connection box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said guide wall is higher than the distance measured from the main body to the center of gravity of the electric component and the protrusion is positioned above the center of gravity of the electric component.
4. An electric connection box comprising:
a first cover for retaining an electric component by contacting the electric component; and
a second cover having a locking member as an integral portion thereof for engaging a through hole of the locking member with a locking protrusion of an outer wall of the electric component,
wherein the locking member extends vertically and passes through an aperture formed in the first cover for engaging and locking the electric component.
5. An electric connection box comprising:
a first cover for retaining an electric component;
a second cover having a locking member as an integral portion thereof for engaging a through hole of the locking member with a locking protrusion of an outer wall of the electric component; and
a middle plate for arrangement of a busbar;
wherein the locking member extends vertically and passes through an aperture formed in the first cover for engaging and locking the electric component, and
wherein said locking member extends vertically and passes through an aperture formed in the middle plate.
6. An electric connection box comprising:
a main body having a first cover and a second cover;
a guide wall disposed on the first cover for retaining an electric component, said guide wall having flexibility;
a protrusion disposed on an inner face of said guide wall for preventing movement of the electric component; and
said second cover having a locking member as an integral portion thereof for engaging the electric component,
wherein the locking member extends vertically and passes through said first cover for engaging and locking the electric component, and
said guide wall is bent outwardly when said electric component is positioned in a final connected state.
