Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector includes a housing and an electric wire cover assembled with the housing. The housing includes a terminal housing portion and an electric wire leading portion. A locking rib protruding outward is formed on the electric wire leading portion. An assembling portion is formed on an end part of the electric wire cover facing to the housing. The assembling portion includes a locking protrusion and a catching portion protruding more than the locking protrusion in a mounting direction of mounting the electric wire cover on the housing. The catching portion includes a sliding face inclined with respect to the mounting direction. When the electric wire cover is mounted on the housing, the sliding face makes contact with the electric wire leading portion, thereby the assembling portion is displaced outward.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A connector comprising: a housing comprising: a terminal housing portion configured to receive a terminal connected to an electric wire; and an electric wire leading portion from which the electric wire is led out; and an electric wire cover configured to be assembled with the electric wire leading portion so as to cover the electric wire, wherein a locking rib protruding outward is formed on a circumference portion of the electric wire leading portion; wherein an assembling portion configured to surround the circumference portion of the electric wire leading portion is formed on an end part of the electric wire cover facing to the housing; wherein the assembling portion comprises: a locking protrusion protruding inward to be locked with the locking rib; and a catching portion protruding more than the locking protrusion in a mounting direction of mounting the electric wire cover on the housing; wherein the catching portion comprises a sliding face gradually inclined outward with respect to the mounting direction; and wherein when the electric wire cover is mounted on the housing, the sliding face of the catching portion makes contact with the electric wire leading portion, thereby the assembling portion is displaced outward. 2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein an electric wire guiding portion is formed in the electric wire cover and is configured to derive the electric wire, the electric wire guiding portion having the end part of the electric wire cover; and wherein the catching portion is provided at an end portion of the electric wire cover on the side of the electric wire guiding portion. 3. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the electric wire cover is brought close to the housing in a state of being displaced to a opposite side of the electric wire guiding portion with respect to the housing, and the locking protrusion being disposed more on a front side than the locking rib in the mounting direction is slid toward the electric wire guiding portion with respect to the housing, thereby the locking protrusion is disposed at a position where the locking protrusion is locked with the locking rib. 4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the catching portion is provided at an end of the assembling portion in a width direction of the electric wire cover being substantially perpendicular to the mounting direction. 5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein a protruding amount of the catching portion protruding from the assembling portion in the mounting direction is greater than that of the locking protrusion protruding from the assembling portion in the mounting direction.
