Electric connection box
View Patent ↗In an electric connection box, even if accuracy of a relative position between a first screw passage hole and a first screw hole, as well as accuracy of a relative position between a second screw passage hole and a second screw hole, is low, the relative positional relation between the first screw passage hole and the first screw hole, as well as the relative positional relation between the second screw passage hole and the second screw hole, can be adjusted because of the provision of a gap between an outer peripheral surface of a constricted engagement portion of a provisionally-placing projection and a hole-defining peripheral surface of a mounting member at the time of mounting a connection box body on the mounting member so that the passage of a first screw through the first screw passage hole and the first screw hole, as well as the passage of a second screw through the second screw passage hole and the second screw hole, can be easily carried out.
1. An electric connection box comprising:
a connection box body;
a provisionally-placing projection formed on an outer surface of said connection box body;
a first mounting portion which has a first screw passage hole, and is formed on said outer surface; and
a second mounting portion which has a second screw passage hole, and is formed on said outer surface;
wherein said provisionally-placing projection is inserted in a provisionally-placing hole in a mounting member, and a first screw is passed through said first screw passage hole and a first screw hole in said mounting member, while a second screw is passed through said second screw passage hole and a second screw hole in said mounting member, thereby mounting said connection box body on said mounting member; and
said provisionally-placing projection has a constricted engagement portion; and
when said connection box body is to be mounted on said mounting member, said engagement portion is disposed such that its outer peripheral surface is surrounded by a hole-defining peripheral surface of said mounting member defining said provisionally-placing hole, and a gap is formed between said engagement portion and said hole-defining peripheral surface.
2. An electric connection box according to claim 1 , wherein said provisionally-placing projection is constricted at said engagement portion over an entire periphery thereof.
3. An electric connection box according to claim 1 , characterized in that a direction of passing of said first screw passage hole and said first screw hole intersects a direction of passing of said second screw passage hole and said second screw hole.
4. An electric connection box according to claim 1 , wherein said mounting member includes a first mounting member having said first screw hole, and a second mounting member having said second screw hole, and said first and second mounting members are separate from each other.
