Abstract

A shield structure includes a hollow tubular shield member, a shield shell having a plate-like shell body which is formed with a through hole, and a plate-like bent piece which is extended from an inner edge of the shell body that defines the through hole and which is bent to rise from the shell body, and an annular member which surrounds and fastens the bent piece, wherein at least one bent piece of the shield shell is extended from the inner edge of the shell body, and when the annular member surrounds and fastens the bent piece an outer surface of which is covered with a leading end in the longitudinal direction of the shield member, the leading end is clamped between the annular member and the bent piece.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A shield structure comprising:
a hollow tubular shield member; a shield shell having a plate-like shell body which is formed with a through hole, and a plate-like bent piece which is extended from an inner edge of the shell body that defines the through hole and which is bent to rise from the shell body; and an annular member which surrounds and fastens the bent piece, wherein at least one bent piece of the shield shell is extended from the inner edge of the shell body, and when the annular member surrounds and fastens the bent piece an outer surface of which is covered with a leading end in the longitudinal direction of the shield member, the leading end is clamped between the annular member and the bent piece.

2 . The shield structure according to claim 1 , wherein the shield shell has a plurality of the bent pieces which are extended from the inner edge of the shell body, and
two of the plurality of the bent pieces are formed so that the planes including the bent pieces which are bent are parallel to each other or intersect.

3 . The shield structure according to claim 2 , wherein at least two of the plurality of the bent pieces are formed to be parallel to each other and the entire surfaces of the bent pieces face each other.

4 . The shield structure according to claim 1 further comprises a housing which holds an electric wire,
wherein the outer surface, which faces the inner surface of the bent piece when the shell body is attached to penetrate the through hole, of the housing is flat, and
the inner surface of the bent piece which is fastened by the annular member is supported on the outer surface of the housing.

5 . The shield structure according to claim 1 , wherein the outer surface of the bent piece is provided with a protrusion or a ridge.

6 . The shield structure according to claim 5 , wherein the inner surface of the bent piece is formed with a concave or a groove at a position corresponding to the protrusion or the ridge.

7 . A shield shell comprising:
a plate-like shell body which is formed with a through hole; and at least one bent piece which is extended from an inner edge of the shell body that defines the through hole and is bent to rise from the shell body.

8 . A method of manufacturing a shield connector with electric wire comprising:
a pressing step of forming a shield shell, which has a plate-like shell body which is formed with a through hole, and at least one bent piece which is extended from an inner edge of the shell body that defines the through hole and which is bent to rise from the shell body, by pressing a metal plate, an arranging step of arranging a leading end in the longitudinal direction of a shield member which is formed into a hollow tubular shape to the shell body to surround the through hole, and a fastening step of clamping a leading end in the longitudinal direction of the shield member between the bent piece and the annular member by surrounding and fastening the bent piece, an outer surface of which is covered with the leading end, with the annular member.
