Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector including: a male terminal; a female terminal having a tube into which the male terminal is inserted; and an elastic member assembled inside the tube, wherein protrusions inwardly protruding are formed on an inner wall of the tube, the protrusions include: first protrusions provided at positions where two straight lines extending from one point on an axis of the tube cross the inner wall, the two straight lines forming a first angle therebetween and each being perpendicular to the axis; and second protrusions provided at positions where two straight lines extending from one point on the axis cross the inner wall, the two straight lines forming a second angle and each being perpendicular to the axis, the first protrusions and two second protrusions being provided in a direction parallel to the axis, and the elastic member urges the male terminal inserted in the tube, toward the protrusions side.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A connector comprising: a male terminal; a female terminal having a tubular part into which the male terminal is inserted; and an elastic member assembled inside the tubular part of the female terminal, wherein a plurality of protrusions inwardly protruding are formed on an inner wall of the tubular part of the female terminal, the plurality of protrusions at least include: two first protrusions provided at positions where two first straight lines extending from one point on an axis of the tubular part cross the inner wall of the tubular part, the two first straight lines forming a first angle therebetween and each being perpendicular to the axis of the tubular part; and two second protrusions provided at positions where two second straight lines extending from one point on the axis of the tubular part cross the inner wall of the tubular part, the two second straight lines forming a second angle and each being perpendicular to the axis of the tubular part, the two first protrusions and the two second protrusions being provided in a direction parallel to the axis of the tubular part, and the elastic member urges the male terminal inserted in the tubular part of the female terminal, toward the plurality of protrusions side. 2 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first angle formed between the two first straight lines is identical to the second angle formed between the two second straight lines. 3 . The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the two first protrusions and the two second protrusions are provided on an identical plane that is parallel to the axis of the tubular part.
