Abstract

A connector is provided which can prevent damage to cables, and hold and waterproof the ends of the cables. A connector has accommodating parts which accommodate the ends of cables where connection terminals are provided. The ends of the cables are held by elastic holding members which are filled and solidified in the accommodating parts, and cable protecting projections which are projected with an arc shaped cross section towards the cables are formed at the edges of walls which form the accommodating parts at the outlet sides of the cables.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A connector, comprising:
an accommodating part which accommodates an end of a cable where a connection terminal is provided, wherein
the accommodating part comprises two walls, and the end of the cable is held by an elastic holding member which is filled and solidified in the accommodating part; and
a cable protecting projection, which has a first end formed at an edge of an inner face of a first wall of the two walls at an outlet side of the cable and a second opposite end, wherein the second opposite end has a semi-ellipse shaped cross section, wherein the cable protecting projection is projected from the first end to the second end, and wherein the cable is disposed between the second end and a second wall of the two walls.

2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the cable pulled out from the accommodating part is arranged so as to be curved, and
the cable protecting projection is provided on the first wall of the accommodating part at least at a curving side of the cable.

3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein a longitudinal axis of the first wall extends in a first direction, and
the cable protecting projection is projected in a second direction which intersects the first direction.
