Abstract
Abstract A cover, which is to be fitted onto a housing from the front of the housing and constructed of a single part, is releasably fitted over the housing from outside. Contact projections and vibration preventing projections are formed on inner surfaces of the cover, each contact projection being located above a corresponding partition wall and each vibration preventing projection being located in a corresponding terminal accommodating chamber at the time the cover is fixed to the housing. A guide projection is formed at an upper edge of each partition wall, the guide projection coming in contact with the corresponding contact projection at the time the cover is being fitted onto said housing so that a portion of the cover on which the corresponding vibration preventing projection is formed is elastically deformed to thereby cause the vibration preventing projection to move away from a corresponding pressure terminal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
222 words
A pressure connector, comprising: a horizontal board; partition walls erecting on said horizontal board, said horizontal board and said partition walls constituting a housing; terminal accommodating chambers defined by said horizontal board and said partition walls; pressure terminals accommodated in said terminal accommodating chambers, electric wires extending from said pressure terminals and being led out of rear portions of said terminal accommodating chambers; a boxlike cover releasably fitted to an outside of said housing, said cover being fitted onto said housing from a front portion of said housing; contact projections formed on an inner surface of said cover, said contact projections being located above said partition walls when said cover is fitted to said housing; vibration preventing projections formed on said inner surface of said cover, said vibration preventing projection being located in said terminal accommodating chambers and brought into contact with said electric wire at the time when said cover is fitted to said housing; and guide projections formed on upper edges of said partition walls, respectively, said guide projection coming in contact with said contact projections at the time when said cover is being fitted onto said housing so that a portion of said cover on which said vibration preventing projections are formed is elastically deformed to thereby cause said vibration preventing projections to move away from said pressure terminal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
222 words
A pressure connector, comprising: a horizontal board; partition walls erecting on said horizontal board, said horizontal board and said partition walls constituting a housing; terminal accommodating chambers defined by said horizontal board and said partition walls; pressure terminals accommodated in said terminal accommodating chambers, electric wires extending from said pressure terminals and being led out of rear portions of said terminal accommodating chambers; a boxlike cover releasably fitted to an outside of said housing, said cover being fitted onto said housing from a front portion of said housing; contact projections formed on an inner surface of said cover, said contact projections being located above said partition walls when said cover is fitted to said housing; vibration preventing projections formed on said inner surface of said cover, said vibration preventing projection being located in said terminal accommodating chambers and brought into contact with said electric wire at the time when said cover is fitted to said housing; and guide projections formed on upper edges of said partition walls, respectively, said guide projection coming in contact with said contact projections at the time when said cover is being fitted onto said housing so that a portion of said cover on which said vibration preventing projections are formed is elastically deformed to thereby cause said vibration preventing projections to move away from said pressure terminal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A pressure connector according to claim 1, wherein said cover and said housing is made unreleasable from each other through said contact projections and said guide projections which are engaged with each other when said cover has been fitted to said housing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A pressure connector according to claim 1, wherein each of said pressure terminal includes an electric contact part, a pressuring part and an electric wire pinching part.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A pressure connector according to claim 3, further comprising a terminal mounting projection formed on a lower portion of each of said partition walls between said electric contact part and said pressuring part.
