Abstract

A terminal detachable device includes a housing; an engaging member that moves in a first direction towards a terminal disposed at a predetermined position of the housing and that engages with the terminal, and that moves in a second direction away from the terminal disposed at the predetermined position and that disengages from the terminal; and an operating member that is rotatably provided with respect to the housing. The engaging member rotates with respect to the housing in accordance with rotation of the operating member, and is movable in the first direction or the second direction with respect to the housing in accordance with rotation of the engaging member with respect to the housing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A terminal detachable device comprising:
a housing;
an engaging member that moves in a first direction towards a terminal disposed at a predetermined position of the housing and that engages with the terminal, and that moves in a second direction away from the terminal disposed at the predetermined position and that disengages from the terminal; and
a rotary member that is rotatably provided with respect to the housing,
wherein the engaging member rotates with respect to the housing in accordance with rotation of the rotary member, and is movable in the first direction or the second direction with respect to the housing in accordance with rotation of the engaging member with respect to the housing,
wherein the engaging member is urged at all times in the first direction with respect to the rotary member by elastic means,
wherein the engaging member is rotatably supported by the rotary member,
wherein the elastic means is provided in the first direction and the second direction around a shaft that rotatably supports the engaging member,
wherein one of the rotary member and the engaging member includes the shaft extending towards the other of the rotary member and the engaging member, and
wherein the other of the rotary member and the engaging member includes a hole that accommodates the shaft and the elastic means.

2. The terminal detachable device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an engagement terminal for disposing the terminal, wherein the engagement terminal has a through hole that allows a part of the engaging member to extend therethrough in the first direction and the second direction.

3. The terminal detachable device according to claim 1 , wherein a part of the engaging member is accommodated in an accommodation space of the rotary member, and
wherein, in the accommodation space, the engaging member is movable in the first direction or the second direction without rotating with respect to the rotary member.

4. The terminal detachable device according to claim 1 , wherein the first direction and the second direction are along the shaft.

5. A terminal detachable device comprising:
a housing;
an engaging member that moves in a first direction towards a terminal disposed at a predetermined position of the housing and that engages with the terminal, and that moves in a second direction away from the terminal disposed at the predetermined position and that disengages from the terminal; and
a rotary member that is rotatably provided with respect to the housing,
wherein the engaging member rotates with respect to the housing in accordance with rotation of the rotary member, and is movable in the first direction or the second direction with respect to the housing in accordance with rotation of the engaging member with respect to the housing, wherein the engaging member is movable with respect to the housing in the first direction or the second direction due to contact of the engaging member with a part of the housing,
wherein one of the housing and the engaging member includes inclining means that is inclined along a peripheral surface of the one of the housing and the engaging member in an acute angle direction with respect to the first direction and the second direction, and
wherein the other of the housing and the engaging member includes contacting means that is capable of contacting the inclining means and that is provided in correspondence with the inclining means.

6. The terminal detachable device according to claim 5 , wherein at least a part of the rotary member is accommodated in the housing, and
wherein the housing has a window where at least a part of the rotary member accommodated in the housing is exposed.

7. The terminal detachable device according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal is disposed at the predetermined position of the housing by being inserted into the housing in a direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction.

8. The terminal detachable device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotary member is an operating member.
