Abstract
Abstract A crimp connector, comprising a socket housing having received therein a crimp terminal comprising a contact, a pair of claws for holding a stripped portion of a wire, and a pair of claws for holding an unstripped portion of the wire, said housing being provided; at the front end face thereof with an opening or said contact; at the top thereof with an opening through which the wire is inserted and crimpers to crimp the stripped portion holding claws and the unstripped portion holding claws are inserted; and at the bottom thereof with an opening through which an anvil to crimp said stripped portion holding claws is inserted. A method of attaching electric wires to the crimp connector is also disclosed. The present crimp connector makes it possible to attach wires in the state that crimp terminals have been built in a socket housing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A crimp connector, comprising a socket housing having received therein a crimp terminal comprising a contact, at least a pair of claws for holding a stripped portion of a wire, and at least a pair of claws for holding an unstripped portion of the wire, said housing being provided; at a front end face thereof with an opening for said contact; at a top thereof with an opening through which the wire is inserted and crimpers to crimp the stripped portion holding claws and the unstripped portion holding claws are inserted; and at a bottom thereof with an opening through which an anvil to crimp said stripped portion holding claws is inserted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A crimp connector, comprising a socket housing having received therein a crimp terminal comprising a contact, at least a pair of claws for holding a stripped portion of a wire, and at least a pair of claws for holding an unstripped portion of the wire, said housing being provided; at a front end face thereof with an opening for said contact; at a top thereof with an opening through which the wire is inserted and crimpers to crimp the stripped portion holding claws and the unstripped portion holding claws are inserted; and at a bottom thereof with an opening through which an anvil to crimp said stripped portion holding claws is inserted.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The crimp connector according to claim 1, wherein said socket housing comprises a plurality of receiving sections in which a corresponding number of said crimp terminals have been received.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The crimp connector according to claim 1, wherein a means to prevent dislocation between said crimp terminal and said socket housing is provided.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The crimp connector according to claim 1, wherein said contact comprises a female contact or a male contact.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
222 words
A method of attaching a wire to a crimp connector, comprising; disposing a wire whose end portion has been stripped with a given length to have a stripped portion and an unstripped portion, in a crimp connector comprising a socket housing having received therein a contact, at least a pair of stripped portion holding claws and at least a pair of unstripped portion holding claws, in such a manner that the stripped portion may be positioned at an upper site of said stripped portion holding claws and the unstripped portion may be positioned at an upper site of said unstripped portion holding claws; inserting an anvil to crimp said stripped portion holding claws, through a bottom opening provided at the bottom of said socket housing; and bringing an anvil to crimp said unstripped portion holding claws, into face-to-face contact with the bottom of said socket housing; simultaneously inserting a crimper to crimp said stripped portion holding claws and a crimper to crimp said unstripped portion holding claws, through a top opening provided at the top of said socket housing, while forcing down said wire; and crimping said stripped portion holding claws so that said stripped portion of the wire may be held therewith, and crimping said unstripped portion holding claws so that said unstripped portion of the wire may be held therewith.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
222 words
A method of attaching a wire to a crimp connector, comprising; disposing a wire whose end portion has been stripped with a given length to have a stripped portion and an unstripped portion, in a crimp connector comprising a socket housing having received therein a contact, at least a pair of stripped portion holding claws and at least a pair of unstripped portion holding claws, in such a manner that the stripped portion may be positioned at an upper site of said stripped portion holding claws and the unstripped portion may be positioned at an upper site of said unstripped portion holding claws; inserting an anvil to crimp said stripped portion holding claws, through a bottom opening provided at the bottom of said socket housing; and bringing an anvil to crimp said unstripped portion holding claws, into face-to-face contact with the bottom of said socket housing; simultaneously inserting a crimper to crimp said stripped portion holding claws and a crimper to crimp said unstripped portion holding claws, through a top opening provided at the top of said socket housing, while forcing down said wire; and crimping said stripped portion holding claws so that said stripped portion of the wire may be held therewith, and crimping said unstripped portion holding claws so that said unstripped portion of the wire may be held therewith.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
The method according to claim 5, wherein said socket housing comprises a plurality of receiving sections in which a corresponding number of said crimp terminal have been received, and said anvils and said crimps comprise a plurality of teeth corresponding to the plurality of the receiving sections.
