Abstract
Abstract An inspecting jig 1 for a wire harness for inspecting electric continuity of terminals 5 in a connector 8 , comprising a jig body 10 having an opening 24 into which the connector is adapted to be inserted, a continuity checking part 11 adapted to be electrically connected to the terminals of the connector when the connector has entered into the opening, a lever member 12 swingably fitted to the jig body and including a locking portion 32 at its one end 12 b which is adapted to be locked with an end face 8 a of the connector 8 when the connector has entered into the opening 24 , thereby to keep the terminals 5 and the continuity checking part 11 in an electrically connected state, and biasing means 13 for biasing the lever member 12 in a direction in which the locking portion 32 is locked with the end face 8 a.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
An inspecting jig for a wire harness for inspecting electric continuity of terminals in a connector, comprising; a jig body having an opening into which said connector is insertable, a continuity checking part electrically connectable to terminals of said connector when said connector has entered into said opening, a lever member swingably fitted to said jig body, said lever member including a locking portion locking with an end face of said connector when said connector has entered into said opening, thereby to keep said terminals and said continuity checking part in an electrically connected state, after said locking portion has been locked with said end face, and a spring biasing said lever member in a direction in which said locking portion is locked with said end face of said connector.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
An inspecting jig for a wire harness for inspecting electric continuity of terminals in a connector, comprising; a jig body having an opening into which said connector is insertable, a continuity checking part electrically connectable to terminals of said connector when said connector has entered into said opening, a lever member swingably fitted to said jig body, said lever member including a locking portion locking with an end face of said connector when said connector has entered into said opening, thereby to keep said terminals and said continuity checking part in an electrically connected state, after said locking portion has been locked with said end face, and a spring biasing said lever member in a direction in which said locking portion is locked with said end face of said connector.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
The inspecting jig for the wire harness as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said lever member is provided with an operating portion for disengaging the lock between said locking portion and said end face, and said operating portion projects outward from an outer face of said jig body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
64 words
The inspecting jig for the wire harness as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said locking portion projects outward from said opening in a direction of inserting said connector, and includes a slanted face which is opposed to said connector when said connectors is being inserted into said opening and gradually slanted toward an interior of said opening with respect to said inserting direction.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
192 words
An inspecting jig for a wire harness for inspecting electric continuity of terminals in a connector, comprising; a jig body having an opening into which said connector is adapted to be inserted, a continuity checking part adapted to be electrically connected to terminals of said connector when said connector has entered into said opening, a lever member swingably fitted to said jig body and including a locking portion which is adapted to be locked with an end face of said connector when said connector has entered into said opening, thereby to keep said terminals and said continuity checking part in an electrically connected state, after said locking portion has been locked with said end face, and biasing means for biasing said lever member in a direction in which said locking portion is locked with s aid end face of said connector; wherein said locking portion projects outward from said opening in a direction of inserting said connector, and includes a slanted face which is opposed to said connector when said connector is being inserted into said opening and gradually slanted toward an interior of said opening with respect to said inserting direction.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
192 words
An inspecting jig for a wire harness for inspecting electric continuity of terminals in a connector, comprising; a jig body having an opening into which said connector is adapted to be inserted, a continuity checking part adapted to be electrically connected to terminals of said connector when said connector has entered into said opening, a lever member swingably fitted to said jig body and including a locking portion which is adapted to be locked with an end face of said connector when said connector has entered into said opening, thereby to keep said terminals and said continuity checking part in an electrically connected state, after said locking portion has been locked with said end face, and biasing means for biasing said lever member in a direction in which said locking portion is locked with s aid end face of said connector; wherein said locking portion projects outward from said opening in a direction of inserting said connector, and includes a slanted face which is opposed to said connector when said connector is being inserted into said opening and gradually slanted toward an interior of said opening with respect to said inserting direction.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
49 words
The inspecting jig for the wire harness as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said lever member is provided with an operating portion for disengaging the lock between said locking portion and said end face, and said operating portion projects outward from an outer face of said jig body.
