In forming a molded member () by insert molding, a porous member () and a cylindrical member () fitted on a peripheral edge of the porous member () are set in a die (); and the molded member () is formed with the molded member () out of contact with the porous member () and with the molded member () in close contact with an outer surface of the cylindrical member () by the insert molding. Therefore a landed position (first landed surface (A), second landed surface (B)) of the die () is set on the outer surface of the cylindrical member (). Thus there is no fear that liquid resin penetrates into the pores of the porous member () in the insert molding. Thereby by the insert molding, it is possible to form the molded member () holding the porous member ().

A frame-shaped cover () for covering resilient holding pieces () is mounted at an opening edge of a fitting (), and clearances Cb for permitting displacements of the cover () in forward and backward directions intersecting a mounting direction of a base () with respect to the fitting () are defined between the outer surfaces of front and rear walls (F,R)) of the fitting () and the cover (). Even if the base () is displaced forward or backward with respect to the fitting (), the cover () can be displaced in conformity with the position of the base (), wherefore the base () can be mounted reliably into the fitting ().

Bulb socket and an assembling method therefor

An object of the present invention is to improve operability. Stoppers () are detachably mounted in a lower mold () of a mold. Nuts () are screwed down onto the stoppers () while being held upside down. After the mold is closed in this state and molten resin is filled into a cavity () and solidified therein, the mold is opened. The stoppers () are separated from the lower mold () as the mold is opened. When the stoppers () are separated from the nuts () thereafter, a casinghaving no pin withdrawal hole can be obtained. Accordingly, it is not necessary to apply potting or the like to close the pin withdrawal hole.

A housing () is formed with an insertion path () for an FFC (). Thick gel plates () are mounted on front and rear surfaces of the FFC () beforehand. The gel plates () are pushed into an entrance () to the insertion path () as the FFC () is inserted, thereby providing sealing at a place where an end portion of the FFC () is inserted into the entrance (). The gel plates () adhere well even to corners of the FFC () to display a waterproof function. Therefore, the FFC () can be used at a place exposed to water.

LEDs () are used as a tail stop lamp (L). A socket () for the LEDs () is provided at the left end of a socket base (), and a lighting circuit () for the LEDs () including the socket () and a connector portion () is constructed on the socket base (). Thus, electronic parts, such as resistors for luminance adjustment, are formed into control modules () by molding. Lead terminals () of the respective control modules () are formed by insulation-displacement terminals. On the other hand, insulated wires () are laid through mount bases () in a specified circuit pattern on the socket base (). When the control modules () are mounted into the corresponding mount bases (), the lead terminals () are pressed into connection to form the lighting circuit.

An optical connector for a two-core optical fiber cord is constructed by coupling a housing main body portion for holding ferrule portions fitted to top end portions of paired optical fiber cores with a cord receiving portion for holding an end portion of a covering member . The cord receiving portion includes paired cord receiving split members A, B, and core-guiding-path forming concave portions A, B for guiding paired optical fiber cores to the outside are formed in the cord receiving split members A, B. Paired guiding pins A, B for guiding paired optical fiber cores to separate into an almost Y-shape are formed in the core-guiding-path forming concave portions A, B, and holding pieces used to couple the housing main body portion with the cord receiving portion can be prevented from contacting to the optical fiber cores

Optical connector

An electrical connector has a housing and an electrical terminal mounted in the housing. An electrical noise-reducing member, which is a body of magnetic material, is carried on the terminal and has a through-hole through which the terminal extends. A stop member is secured on the terminal to abut the end of the magnetic member at which the terminal emerges from the through-hole. The stop member prevents the noise-reducing member from sliding along the terminal.

Electrical connector

An electrical noise-reducing member has concentric inner and outer cylindrical portions. The outer cylindrical portion is of electrical noise-reducing magnetic material, and the inner cylindrical portion is of elastically deformable material and has a longitudinal through-hole. In use, an electrically conductive element, such as a connector terminal, is inserted into the through-hole to elastically secure the element to the noise-reducing member.

Electrical noise-reducing assembly and member

A wear detection probe is provided to cushion an impact from a rotor to the wear detection probe and to hold the wear detection probe in a specified position during the contact with the rotor. For these purposes, a biasing mount plate is formed with biasing pieces . A stopper mount plate is formed with stopper pieces , and a wear detection probe is provided with locking pins . When being subjected to an impact from a rotor R, the wear detection probe moves backward while the biasing pieces undergo an elastic deformation by being pushed by the locking pins , with the result that the impact is cushioned. When the wear detection probe moves backward, the locking pins come into contact with the stopper pieces and, accordingly, the wear detection probe is held in contact with the rotor R while being held in the specified position.

A connector is provided with a highly reliable noise removing function. The connector includes a magnetic element (,) at a rear end portion of a housing (,), and tabs (,) are inserted through a rectangular hole (,) which is a through hole formed in the magnetic element (,). The housing (,) is provided with a magnetic element receptacle (,) having a rectangular tubular shape for enclosing the outer circumferential surface of the magnetic element (,). One end surface of the magnetic element (,) is exposed to the outside from the rear end surface of the magnetic element receptacle (,). Since the magnetic element (,) has its outer circumferential surface enclosed by the magnetic element receptacle,it can be protected from contact with other parts and prevented from being cracked. If the magnetic element,should be cracked, the crack can be easily detected since the one end surface of the magnetic element,is exposed from the magnetic element receptacle,and can be dealt with by the exchange of the magnetic element or the exchange of the connector.

To prevent a detecting electric wire (20) of a brake pad from moving, a stopper member (12) is provided in a holder (10). Two wires (22) extending a wire holder, are made to intersect close to the posterior of a stopper (12), and are maintained in this intersecting state by a cable tie (13). The stopper member (12) engages the intersecting portion (23) of the wire (20) in a posterior direction, thereby preventing the wire (20) from moving in an anterior direction even under a strong pulling force from the rotor R.

Abrasion detecting probe for a brake member

A mount construction of a wear detection probe for a brake pad is provided which is capable of absorbing an image caused by a contact of the wear detection probe with a rotor. Coil springs 42 are mounted on bolts 41 used to mount a bracket 30 on a support base 12, and the bracket 30 is held in close contact with the support base 12 by biasing forces thereof. When the probe 20 is brought into contact with a rotor upon the application of braking, the coil springs 42 are compressively deformed, thereby absorbing an impact caused by a contact of the rotor 10 and the probe 20. The mount construction of the probe 20 has an enhanced reliability by absorbing the impact on the probe 20.
