Booster cable holding structure
View Patent ↗A booster cable holding structure includes a clamping connection portion configured to be clamped by a clip portion of a booster cable. The clamping connection portion includes a relief terminal portion protruding in a tabular manner from a base structure made of insulating resin, and a terminal supporting resin portion extending in a tabular manner from the base structure over a surface of the relief terminal portion. The terminal supporting resin portion has a groove into which at least one tooth of the clip portion enters when the clip portion clamps the clamping connection portion, and a movement restricting wall configured to block a movement of the clip portion. The movement restricting wall is provided on a side toward which the clip portion having the tooth entered the groove is moved along the groove by an external force that pulls a cable of the booster cable.
1. A booster cable holding structure comprising a clamping connection portion configured to be clamped by a clip portion of a booster cable, the clamping connection portion comprising a relief terminal portion provided to protrude in a tabular manner from a base structure made of insulating resin, and a terminal supporting resin portion made of resin and provided to extend in a tabular manner from the base structure over a surface of the relief terminal portion,
wherein the terminal supporting resin portion comprises:
a groove into which at least one tooth of the clip portion enters when the clip portion clamps the clamping connection portion; and
a movement restricting wall configured to block a movement of the clip portion, the movement restricting wall being provided on a side toward which the clip portion having the tooth entered the groove is moved along the groove by an external force that pulls a cable of the booster cable, the movement restricting wall being positioned to allow movement of the tooth within the groove substantially along a height of the relief terminal portion.
2. The booster cable holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein the groove is configured to extend linearly, and has, with respect to a direction in which the groove extends, one end closed by the movement restricting wall and another end being opened.
3. The booster cable holding structure according to claim 2 , wherein the movement restricting wall has a wall height that is flush with an upper end face of the groove with respect to a direction of a depth of the groove.
