Abstract

An electrical connection box includes a housing, a tool and a tool holding portion. The tool includes a main body in which a holding hole is formed, and a pinching portion. The tool holding portion includes a holding main body, a rotation regulating portion and a protrusion protruding on an opposite side from a side of the rotation regulating portion with the holding main body interposed therebetween. The protrusion is formed to face an opposite side from a side of the pinching portion with the holding hole interposed therebetween in the main body in an insertion direction in the holding state, and comes into contact with the main body in a state in which the pinching portion is positioned in a pulling direction compared to a position of the main body from the holding state.

Claims (35)

1. An electrical connection box comprising:

a housing that accommodates an electronic component;

a tool that detaches the electronic component from the housing; and

a tool holding portion that is formed on a forming face of the housing and detachably holds the tool, wherein

the tool includes

a main body in which a holding hole is formed, and

a pinching portion that protrudes from the main body and pinches the electronic component,

the tool holding portion includes

a holding main body that is formed to protrude from the forming face and holds the main body by being inserted into the holding hole,

a rotation regulating portion that protrudes from the forming face and is formed to be separated from the holding main body, and regulates rotation of the pinching portion in a holding state in which the tool is held by the tool holding portion,

a first connection portion that protrudes from the forming face and extends from and is connected to each of the holding main body and the rotation regulating portion, and

a protrusion that is formed to protrude from the forming face on an opposite side from a side of the rotation regulating portion with the holding main body interposed therebetween, and

the protrusion is formed to face an opposite side from a side of the pinching portion with the holding hole interposed therebetween in the main body in an insertion direction in the holding state, and

the protrusion comes into contact with the main body in a state in which the pinching portion is positioned in a pulling direction corresponding to an opposite direction of the insertion direction compared to a position of the main body from the holding state.

2. The electrical connection box according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second connection portion that is formed to protrude from the forming face to connect the holding main body to the protrusion.

3. The electrical connection box according to claim 1 , wherein

the protrusion comes into contact with the main body in the holding state.

4. The electrical connection box according to claim 2 , wherein

the protrusion comes into contact with the main body in the holding state.

5. The electrical connection box according to claim 1 , wherein

the tool is spaced away from the first connection portion.

6. The electrical connection box according to claim 1 , wherein

the forming face includes a first recession, and

the holding main body protrudes from the first recession.

7. The electrical connection box according to claim 6 , wherein

the forming face includes a second recession that is different from and spaced away from the first recession, and

the rotation regulating portion protrudes from the second recession.

8. The electrical connection box according to claim 7 , wherein

the first connection portion extends along each of the first recession and the second recession.

9. The electrical connection box according to claim 2 , wherein

the holding main body portion includes a notch portion, and

the second connection portion extends along the holding main body portion from the forming face to a position on the holding main body portion that is between the forming face and the notch portion.

10. The electrical connection box according to claim 2 , wherein

the second connection portion is connected to and extends from each of the protrusion and the holding main body.
