Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A socket includes: a base; a connection fitting including a bracket and a spring member, configured to form pressure springs by dividing the spring member into two in a width direction by a slit provided to the spring member, and assembled to an upper surface of the base; and a case cover configured to fit to the base and to cover the connection fitting. The pressure springs of the spring member are pressed and elastically deformed by an operation driver inserted through an operation hole provided to the case cover, to sandwich between the bracket and the pressure springs a lead inserted through an insertion hole provided to the case cover. A guide partition wall configured to engage with the slit of the spring member is integrally molded with an inner surface of the case cover.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A socket comprising: a base; a connection fitting including a bracket and a spring member, configured to form a pressure spring by dividing the spring member into two in a width direction by a slit provided to the spring member, and assembled to an upper surface of the base; and a case cover configured to fit to the base and to cover the connection fitting, the pressure spring of the spring member being pressed and elastically deformed by an operation driver inserted through an operation hole provided to the case cover, to sandwich between the bracket and the pressure spring, a lead inserted through an insertion hole provided to the case cover, wherein a guide partition wall configured to engage with the slit of the spring member is integrally molded with an inner surface of the case cover. 2. The socket according to claim 1 , wherein the guide partition wall is bridged between and integrally molded with a ceiling surface and an inside surface of the case cover. 3. The socket according to claim 1 , wherein a notch configured to engage with a protrusion protruded from the upper surface of the base is formed at a lower end rim of the guide partition wall. 4. The socket according to claim 2 , wherein a notch configured to engage with a protrusion protruded from the upper surface of the base is formed at a lower end rim of the guide partition wall.
