Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides a bus bar, which includes an elongated base plate, a plurality of tuning fork-shaped terminal portions and a plurality of plate-shaped terminal portions both extending from one lateral end of the elongated base plate, a terminal-protecting portions being perpendicular to the elongated base plate and extending from both longitudinal ends of the elongated base plate, and an electric wire-crimping portion extending from the other lateral end of the elongated base plate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A metallic bus bar, comprising: an elongated base plate; a tuning fork-shaped terminal portion extending from one lateral end of the elongated base plate; and a terminal-protecting portion extending from each of two opposed longitudinal ends of the elongated base plate with each terminal protecting portion bent from the same planar surface of the base plate in the same direction so as to extend in a direction perpendicular to the elongated base plate, wherein a longitudinal direction of the bent terminal-protecting portion is orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the tuning fork-shaped terminal portion. 2. The bus bar as claimed in claim 1 , further including an electrical wire-crimping portion extending from the other lateral end of the elongated base plate.
