Abstract

Abstract A connector body member has conductor receiving sections for receiving a plurality of conductive end portions of a member to be connected, such as a flat cable, a jumper, or a printed circuit board. A plurality of contacts are so mounted as to project into the conductor receiving sections in order to contact the conductive end portions of the member to be connected. A cover member for holding the contact between the conductive end portions of the member to be connected and the contacts is formed to be pivotal with respect to the connector body member. Each conductor receiving section has an opening. The cover member pivots to cover the openings of the conductor receiving sections. The cover member is also locked into the connector body member by sliding along the connector body member while covering the openings. <IMAGE>

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 119 words
A connector comprising a body member (10) having conductor receiving sections (11) for receiving a plurality of conductive end portions of a member (100; a plurality of contacts (20) being mounted on said body member and projecting into said conductor receiving sections for making contact with the end portions of said member; and, a pivotable cover member (30) for covering said contacts and the conductive end portions of said member and maintaining contact therebetween, said conductor receiving sections being provided with openings (12) through which the and portions of said member are placed for contacting said contacts, said cover member pivoting to cover said openings (12) and sliding with the openings covered to thereby latch with said body member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 35 words
A connector according to claim 1, wherein said conductor receiving sections comprise a plurality of grooves (13) arranged mutually in parallel at intervals matching the distances between the end portions of said conductor receiving sections.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 38 words
A connector according to claim 1, wherein each of said contacts comprises a terminal portion (21) extending out from said boy member, and a leaf spring portion (22) for making contact with the end portions of said member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 50 words
A connector according to claim 1, wherein said cover member comprises a pair of arm portions (31) and a cover porion (32), and each of said arm portion is pivotable relative to said body member, and said cover portion is slidable in said conductor receivina section, with the opening covered.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 45 words
A connector according to claim 4, wherein said body member has a latching ridge (33) at a rear surface thereof which latches with a protrusion (14) extending into the opening of said conductor receiving section when said cover member slides in said conductor receiving section.
