The present invention is to provide a transfer apparatus and a molded article production apparatus having the transfer apparatus. These apparatus can improve the working efficiency and control cost and space for arranging. A molded article production apparatus has a transfer apparatus and an injection molding apparatus. The transfer apparatus has an attaching part mounting a jig which a bus bar and a terminal are mounted on, and a molded box body. The attaching part has a main body, a component attaching part and a molded article attaching part. The component attaching part is arranged on one surface side of the main body, and mounts the jig which the bus bar and the terminal are mounted on. The molded article attaching part is arranged on another surface side of the main body, and mounts the box body formed by the injection molding apparatus.

A guide structure for an electronic unit in an electrical connection box is attached to a unit attaching surface while inserted along guide walls of an electrical connection box body. Guide grooves, each extending in an electronic unit insertion direction, are arranged at least on outer surfaces of confronting peripheral walls of the electronic unit, and guide ribs that are engageable with the guide grooves and that can position an electronic unit of different size are projectingly disposed on the unit attaching surface. The guide structure for the electronic unit can prevent oblique insertion of the electronic unit when the electronic unit is attached to the electrical connection box while inserted between guide walls of the electrical connection box. The guide structure also allows attachment of the electronic unit of different size.

An electrical junction box is constituted by accommodating bus-bar circuit board composed of a plurality of bus-bars and an insulating plate in a case member composed of upper, lower and side cases. The bus-bar has a terminal for a connector vertically erecting from the surface of the bus-bar and introduced into fastening portions of the upper and lower cases and a terminal extending in parallel to the surface of the bus-bar while keeping a level difference so as to be accommodated in the housing of the side case at a predetermined pitch. In order to easily align the terminals and easily assemble and fasten a predetermined terminal or a connector, a boss and a cut portion are formed to correspond to the insulating plate for the purpose of supporting the terminal. As an alternative to this, a support member is inserted between the insulating plates.

A fuse box has a fuse cavity for receiving the body of a blade type fuse having blade-like male terminals projecting from the body into an insertion direction of the blade type fuse. The body of blade type fuse has opposed ends extending into the insertion direction and a side rib provided on each of the opposed ends and extending into the insertion direction. The fuse cavity has opposed walls for receiving therebetween the opposed ends of the blade type fuse when the blade type fuse is inserted. The fuse cavity also has two pairs of second ribs on the opposed walls, each pair being positioned to define a receiving groove therebetween for receiving the side rib of the blade type fuse.

Fuse box

A device for locking a pair of connectors to each other, in which a locking unit which is attached to the housing of one of the connectors in a pivotable manner, and is biased by a spring in a direction tending to unlock the connectors from each other. The locking unit includes a pair of support portions and a plate spring engagement portion. Support members are provided on the housing for receiving the support portion and a plate spring is resiliently disposed between the engagement portion and the housing.

Connector locking mechanism

An electric connection box including an insulative board having a plurality of through holes for a plurality of terminal holders formed on the lower case of the connection box. A plurality of bus bars are pressed relative to, and are mounted fixedly in bus bar mounting grooves in the insulative board so as to assemble a bus bar circuit board. This design compensates for possible slight precision defects in press-connecting pieces of the bus bars.

Electric connection box

A structure of connection between a bus bar and a press-connecting branch terminal in an electric connnection box is disclosed wherein a plurality of bus bars constituting a circuit are accommodated within a casing composed of an upper case and a lower case; a housing having tab insertion holes at its bottom is formed on at least one of the upper and lower cases; a branch tab formed on one side portion of a press-connecting branch terminal is extended through the tab insertion hole into the housing to thereby constitute a connector insertion portion; and a desired one of the bus bars is press-fitted in and connected to a U-shaped slot formed in a press-connecting portion formed on the other side portion of the press-connecting terminal. The press-connecting branch terminal includes a base plate portion, opposed press-connecting portions formed on and projecting from one side of the base plate portion and each having a U-shaped slot, and one or more branch tabs formed on and projecting from the other side of the base plate portion. A seat for receiving the base plate portion is formed on an inner side of the bottom of the housing. A press projection is formed on that portion of the inner surface of the case disposed in opposed relation to the seat. Those portions of the press-connecting branch terminal and the bus bar which are press-connected together are fixedly held between the seat and the press projection.
