Abstract
Abstract A connector insertion inspection jig has a frame reception portion for holding a frame of a divided multipolar connector, a detector body facing the frame reception portion and provided so as to be movable forward/backward, and detection pins which are disposed on the detector body so as to be able to elastically contact with respective sub-connectors mounted in the frame. At least a set of the detection pins are provided for each of the sub-connectors so as to project from the detector body toward the front surfaces of the sub-connectors and so as to be separated from each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
A connector insertion inspection jig comprising: a frame reception portion formed at one end portion of a base so as to fixedly hold a frame of a divided multipolar connector having sub-connectors; a detector body facing said frame reception portion so as to be movable forward/backward on said base by means of rotation of an operating layer; detection pins disposed on said detector body and facing said frame reception portion so as to be able to elastically contact with front surfaces of the sub-connectors engaged with said frame when said detector body is moved forward, wherein at least a set of said detection pins are provided for each of said sub-connectors, said detector pins projecting toward the front surfaces of said sub-connector and being separated from each other; detection means for indicating that said sub-connectors are properly fitted with said divided multipolar connector when each detector pin in the set of detection pins contacts the front surface of the sub-connectors.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
160 words
A connector insertion inspection jig comprising: a frame reception portion formed at one end portion of a base so as to fixedly hold a frame of a divided multipolar connector having sub-connectors; a detector body facing said frame reception portion so as to be movable forward/backward on said base by means of rotation of an operating layer; detection pins disposed on said detector body and facing said frame reception portion so as to be able to elastically contact with front surfaces of the sub-connectors engaged with said frame when said detector body is moved forward, wherein at least a set of said detection pins are provided for each of said sub-connectors, said detector pins projecting toward the front surfaces of said sub-connector and being separated from each other; detection means for indicating that said sub-connectors are properly fitted with said divided multipolar connector when each detector pin in the set of detection pins contacts the front surface of the sub-connectors.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
67 words
A connector insertion inspection jig according to claim 1, wherein said detection means comprises; spring means disposed between said frame reception portion and said detector body for forwardly urging said detection pins; and switch means for outputting an electric signal when the detection pin is moved backward against the spring means, wherein said switch means and spring means are coaxially provided with each of said detection pins.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A connector insertion inspection jig according to claim 1, wherein said detection pins are positioned such that they engage symmetric positions with respect to the centers of said front surfaces of said sub-connectors when said detector body is moved forward.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
A connector insertion inspection jig according to claim 2, wherein said detection pins are positioned such that they engage symmetric positions with respect to the centers of said front surfaces of said sub-connectors when said detector body is moved forward.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A connector insertion inspection jig according to claim 3, wherein said detector pines are positioned such that they extend in an arrangement direction of engagement projections and lances provided oppositely on said sub-connectors.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
A connector insertion inspection jig according to claim 4, wherein said detector pins are positioned such that they extend in an arrangement direction of engagement projections and lances provided oppositely on said sub-connectors.
