Specifically, first, the held member comes into contact with the introduction guide slope of the stationary wall. Next, the held member is guided while sliding on the introduction guide slope of the immovable wall. Thereafter, the member to be held is guided while sliding along the introduction guide slope of the movable holding wall. The held member is guided by a two-step slope. The movable holding wall is gradually bent when the member to be held is guided by sliding along the introduction guide slope of the movable holding wall. When the member to be held passes through the introduction guide slope of the movable holding wall, the movable holding wall is movable with respect to the member to be held. The holding wall comes into contact. The held member is held by the elastic restoring force of the elastic holding rib. Since the elastic holding rib makes elastic contact with the member to be held, the elastic holding rib absorbs variations of a certain size.

請求項２記載の本発明の弾性保持リブは、請求項１に記載の弾性保持リブにおいて、前記被保持部材はバッテリーのバッテリーポストに巻着する環状部を有するバッテリーターミナルに相当し、前記壁体は前記バッテリーターミナルと該バッテリーターミナルの前記環状部に連続する電線接続部に接続された一又は複数の接続端子とを覆うバッテリーターミナル用絶縁カバーの周側壁に相当することを特徴としている。   The elastic holding rib according to a second aspect of the present invention is the elastic holding rib according to the first aspect, wherein the held member corresponds to a battery terminal having an annular portion wound around a battery post of the battery, and the wall body.

以下、図面を参照しながら説明する。図１は本発明の弾性保持リブの一実施の形態を示す図であり、（ａ）は斜視図、（ｂ）は（ａ）のＡ−Ａ線断面図、（ｃ）は（ａ）のＢ−Ｂ線断面図である。   Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to the drawings. 1A and 1B are diagrams showing an embodiment of an elastic holding rib of the present invention, in which FIG. 1A is a perspective view, FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 1A, and FIG. It is a BB sectional view.

図１において、筐体１の内部には、本発明の弾性保持リブ２が一体に形成されている。具体的には、筐体１を構成する周側壁（壁体）３の内面に本発明の弾性保持リブ２が一体に形成されている。弾性保持リブ２は、筐体１に差し込まれて保持される被保持部材（図示省略）のガタツキを抑えるための部分であって、被保持部材に対して弾性接触するように形成されている。弾性保持リブ２は、周側壁３から突出する不動壁４と、不動壁４を囲む可動保持壁５とを有している（形状は一例であるものとする）。   In FIG. 1, an elastic holding rib 2 of the present invention is integrally formed inside a housing 1. Specifically, the elastic holding rib 2 of the present invention is integrally formed on the inner surface of the peripheral side wall (wall body) 3 constituting the housing 1. The elastic holding rib 2 is a portion for suppressing rattling of a member to be held (not shown) that is inserted into and held in the housing 1 and is formed so as to be in elastic contact with the member to be held. The elastic holding rib 2 has a stationary wall 4 protruding from the peripheral side wall 3 and a movable holding wall 5 surrounding the stationary wall 4 (the shape is an example).

可動保持壁５は、その基端側が周側壁３に連成されており、不動壁４に対して近接方向に撓むような弾性を有している。もう少し具体的に説明すると、不動壁４は、本形態において二つあり、間隔をあけて並ぶように配置されている（不動壁４の数は少なくとも一つあればよいものとする）。不動壁４は、周側壁３に対して直交するような帯板形状の壁であって、筐体１の開口縁部６から底壁７にかけて真っ直ぐ伸びるように形成されている。このような不動壁４には、導入案内斜面８が形成されている。その導入案内斜面８は、筐体１の開口縁部６側となる、被保持部材に対する導入先端に形成されている。導入案内斜面８は、可動保持壁５に向けて傾斜するように形成されている。   The movable holding wall 5 has a base end connected to the peripheral side wall 3 and has elasticity so as to bend in the proximity direction with respect to the stationary wall 4. More specifically, there are two immovable walls 4 in this embodiment, and the immovable walls 4 are arranged so as to be arranged at intervals (at least one immovable wall 4 is sufficient). The immovable wall 4 is a strip-shaped wall that is orthogonal to the peripheral side wall 3, and is formed to extend straight from the opening edge 6 to the bottom wall 7 of the housing 1. An introductory guide slope 8 is formed on such a stationary wall 4. The introduction guide slope 8 is formed at the introduction tip with respect to the held member, which is on the opening edge 6 side of the housing 1. The introduction guide slope 8 is formed to be inclined toward the movable holding wall 5.

可動保持壁５は、一対の保持壁側部９と、保持壁接触部１０とを有して略コ字状となる形状に形成されている。保持壁側部９は、不動壁４の外側に配置されている。保持壁側部９の基端は、周側壁３に連成されている。また、保持壁側部９の中間から開口縁部６側までの間は、周側壁３に対して間隔があくように形成されている。その間隔は、可動保持壁５を不動壁４に対して近接方向に撓ませるために必要な部分として形成されている。   The movable holding wall 5 has a pair of holding wall side portions 9 and a holding wall contact portion 10 and is formed in a substantially U-shape. The holding wall side portion 9 is disposed outside the stationary wall 4. A base end of the holding wall side portion 9 is coupled to the peripheral side wall 3. Further, the space from the middle of the holding wall side portion 9 to the opening edge portion 6 side is formed so as to be spaced from the peripheral side wall 3. The interval is formed as a portion necessary for bending the movable holding wall 5 in the proximity direction with respect to the stationary wall 4.

保持壁側部９の被保持部材に対する導入先端には、導入案内斜面１１が形成されている。保持壁側部９の導入案内斜面１１は、不動壁４の導入案内斜面８と同じ方向に傾斜する斜面であって、不動壁４の導入案内斜面８の方が傾斜がきつくなり且つ保持壁側部９の導入案内斜面１１の方が下側に位置するように配置形成されている。導入案内斜面８、１１は、二段階に案内をすることができるように配置形成されている（二段階構成の斜面にすることにより、可動保持壁５の撓みを確実に生じさせることが可能になる）。   An introduction guide slope 11 is formed at the leading end of the holding wall side portion 9 with respect to the held member. The introduction guide slope 11 of the holding wall side portion 9 is inclined in the same direction as the introduction guide slope 8 of the stationary wall 4, and the introduction guide slope 8 of the stationary wall 4 is more inclined and the holding wall side is inclined. The introduction guide slope 11 of the portion 9 is arranged and formed so as to be positioned on the lower side. The introduction guide slopes 8 and 11 are arranged and formed so that they can be guided in two stages (by making the slope in a two-stage configuration, the movable holding wall 5 can be reliably bent). Become).

尚、不動壁４が存在せず可動保持壁５のみである場合には、保持壁側部９の導入案内斜面１１の頂部に被保持部材が当接したままで、その被保持部材が導入案内斜面１１を滑らないような事態が生じてしまう恐れがある。そして、その後、被保持部材の差し込みを続けると、可動保持壁５が破損方向に変形してしまう恐れが多分にある（不動壁４と可動保持壁５とで二段階構成の斜面を形成すると、このような問題点は解消される）。   When the fixed wall 4 does not exist and only the movable holding wall 5 exists, the held member remains in contact with the top of the introduction guide slope 11 of the holding wall side portion 9, and the held member is introduced and guided. There is a risk that a situation in which the slope 11 does not slide will occur. And then, if the member to be held is continuously inserted, there is a possibility that the movable holding wall 5 is deformed in the direction of breakage (if the fixed wall 4 and the movable holding wall 5 form a two-stage slope, Such a problem is solved).

弾性保持リブ２の構成において、筐体１の内部に被保持部材を差し込んで収容しようとすると、先ず、不動壁４の導入案内斜面８に被保持部材が当接する。次に、被保持部材が不動壁４の導入案内斜面８を滑りながら案内される。その後、被保持部材が可動保持壁５の導入案内斜面１１を同様に滑りながら案内される。被保持部材は、二段階構成の斜面により案内される。可動保持壁５は、被保持部材が可動保持壁５の導入案内斜面１１を滑って案内される際に徐々に撓み、被保持部材が可動保持壁５の導入案内斜面１１を通過すると、被保持部材に対して可動保持壁５の保持壁接触部１０が接触する。被保持部材は、弾性保持リブ２の弾性復元力によって保持される。弾性保持リブ２は、被保持部材に対して弾性接触することから、ある程度の寸法のバラツキを吸収する。   In the configuration of the elastic holding rib 2, when a member to be held is inserted and accommodated inside the housing 1, the member to be held first comes into contact with the introduction guide slope 8 of the immovable wall 4. Next, the held member is guided while sliding on the introduction guide slope 8 of the immovable wall 4. Thereafter, the held member is guided while sliding on the introduction guide slope 11 of the movable holding wall 5 in the same manner. The held member is guided by a two-step slope. The movable holding wall 5 is gradually bent when the member to be held slides and is guided along the introduction guide slope 11 of the movable holding wall 5, and when the member to be held passes through the introduction guide slope 11 of the movable holding wall 5, the movable holding wall 5 is held. The holding wall contact portion 10 of the movable holding wall 5 contacts the member. The held member is held by the elastic restoring force of the elastic holding rib 2. Since the elastic holding rib 2 elastically contacts the held member, the elastic holding rib 2 absorbs a certain amount of variation.

次に、図２を参照しながら弾性保持リブ２の使用例を説明する。図２は弾性保持リブをバッテリーターミナル用絶縁カバーに設けた例（一例であり、バッテリーターミナル用絶縁カバー以外にも当然に設けることができるものとする）を示す斜視図である。   Next, a usage example of the elastic holding rib 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example in which the elastic holding rib is provided on the insulating cover for the battery terminal (this is an example, and can be naturally provided in addition to the insulating cover for the battery terminal).

図２において、引用符号２１は本発明の弾性保持リブ２を設けたバッテリーターミナル用絶縁カバー（以下、絶縁カバーと略記する）を示している。その絶縁カバー２１は、上述の筐体１に相当する部材であって、絶縁性を有する合成樹脂材料の射出成形により形成されている。絶縁カバー２１は、バッテリーターミナル（被保持部材）２２と、そのバッテリーターミナル２２に接続された接続端子（図示省略）とを覆って短絡を防止することができるように形成されている。また、本形態の絶縁カバー２１は、上記接続端子を差し込んだ状態で取り付けられた電流センサ２３も覆うことができるように形成されている。   In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 indicates an insulating cover for battery terminals (hereinafter abbreviated as an insulating cover) provided with the elastic holding rib 2 of the present invention. The insulating cover 21 is a member corresponding to the casing 1 described above, and is formed by injection molding of an insulating synthetic resin material. The insulating cover 21 is formed so as to prevent a short circuit by covering the battery terminal (member to be held) 22 and a connection terminal (not shown) connected to the battery terminal 22. Further, the insulating cover 21 of the present embodiment is formed so as to cover the current sensor 23 attached with the connection terminal inserted.

上記絶縁カバー２１は、絶縁カバー本体２４と、絶縁カバー本体２４から引き出された電線（図示省略）に取り付けられる電線取付部２５と、絶縁カバー本体２４及び電線取付部２５を連結する可撓性の可撓連結部２６と、を備えて構成されている。絶縁カバー本体２４は、天井壁（符号省略）と周側壁（壁体）２７とを有する箱形形状に形成されている。周側壁２７には、引き出し口２８と、側壁延長部２９とが形成されている。引き出し口２８は、電流センサ２３を引き出すために形成されている。側壁延長部２９は、電線（図示省略）の引き出し側に形成されている。側壁延長部２９の縁部には、可撓連結部２６の一端が連成されている。その可撓連結部２６の他端には、電線取付部２５が連成されている。   The insulating cover 21 includes an insulating cover main body 24, a wire attaching portion 25 attached to an electric wire (not shown) drawn from the insulating cover main body 24, and a flexible connecting the insulating cover main body 24 and the electric wire attaching portion 25. And a flexible connecting portion 26. The insulating cover body 24 is formed in a box shape having a ceiling wall (reference numeral omitted) and a peripheral side wall (wall body) 27. In the peripheral side wall 27, a lead-out port 28 and a side wall extension 29 are formed. The lead-out port 28 is formed for pulling out the current sensor 23. The side wall extension 29 is formed on the drawing side of an electric wire (not shown). One end of the flexible connecting portion 26 is coupled to the edge of the side wall extension 29. An electric wire attachment portion 25 is coupled to the other end of the flexible connection portion 26.

絶縁カバー本体２４の内部には、複数の位置決め部（図示省略）と、嵌合係止部３０と、浮き止め係止部３１と、弾性保持リブ２とが形成されている。上記位置決め部は、バッテリーターミナル２２や電流センサ２３等が当接可能となる部分であって、絶縁カバー２１とバッテリーターミナル２２との位置関係を保つことを目的として形成されている。   Inside the insulating cover main body 24, a plurality of positioning portions (not shown), a fitting locking portion 30, a float locking locking portion 31, and the elastic holding rib 2 are formed. The positioning portion is a portion where the battery terminal 22, the current sensor 23, and the like can come into contact, and is formed for the purpose of maintaining the positional relationship between the insulating cover 21 and the battery terminal 22.

嵌合係止部３０は、絶縁カバー本体２４を係止するための部分であって、本形態においては、バッテリーターミナル２２の電線接続部（符号省略）に接続された接続端子（図示省略）の突出片に対して引っ掛かるように形成されている。嵌合係止部３０は、可撓性を有する片持ち形状の係止用突起として形成されている。   The fitting locking portion 30 is a portion for locking the insulating cover main body 24. In this embodiment, the fitting locking portion 30 is a connection terminal (not shown) connected to the wire connection portion (reference numeral omitted) of the battery terminal 22. It is formed so as to be hooked to the protruding piece. The fitting locking part 30 is formed as a cantilever locking protrusion having flexibility.

浮き止め係止部３１は、バッテリーターミナル２２における環状部３２の締め付け部３３に対して引っ掛かるように形成されている。浮き止め係止部３１は、可撓性を有する片持ち形状の突起として形成されている。浮き止め係止部３１は、嵌合係止部３０ほどの係止力を持たせる必要性はなく、絶縁カバー本体２４の浮き上がり（カバー取り外し方向の移動）を抑えることができればよいものとする。   The suspending locking portion 31 is formed so as to be hooked to the tightening portion 33 of the annular portion 32 in the battery terminal 22. The floating stopper 31 is formed as a cantilever protrusion having flexibility. It is not necessary for the locking stopper 31 to have a locking force as high as that of the fitting locking section 30, and it is sufficient that the lifting of the insulating cover body 24 (movement in the cover removal direction) can be suppressed.

絶縁カバー本体２４の内部の弾性保持リブ２は、上述の形態で説明したものと同じである。弾性保持リブ２は、嵌合係止部３０から離れた位置に配置形成されている（嵌合係止部３０から離れるほどガタツキが大きくなるため）。弾性保持リブ２の構成において、バッテリーターミナル２２を絶縁カバー本体２４で覆うと、環状部３２に不動壁４の導入案内斜面８が当接する。そして、環状部３２に対して導入案内斜面８が滑りながら案内され、その後、保持壁側部９の導入案内斜面１１が同様に滑りながら案内される。この時、可動保持壁５は徐々に撓み、環状部３２が保持壁側部９の導入案内斜面１１を通過すると、環状部３２に対して可動保持壁５の保持壁接触部１０が接触する。絶縁カバー本体２４は、その内部に環状部３２が恰も差し込まれた状態になる。絶縁カバー本体２４は、弾性保持リブ２の弾性復元力によって保持される。   The elastic holding rib 2 inside the insulating cover main body 24 is the same as that described in the above embodiment. The elastic holding rib 2 is disposed and formed at a position away from the fitting locking portion 30 (because the backlash increases as the distance from the fitting locking portion 30 increases). In the configuration of the elastic holding rib 2, when the battery terminal 22 is covered with the insulating cover main body 24, the introduction guide slope 8 of the stationary wall 4 comes into contact with the annular portion 32. Then, the introduction guide slope 8 is guided while sliding with respect to the annular portion 32, and thereafter, the introduction guide slope 11 of the holding wall side portion 9 is similarly guided while sliding. At this time, the movable holding wall 5 is gradually bent, and when the annular portion 32 passes through the introduction guide slope 11 of the holding wall side portion 9, the holding wall contact portion 10 of the movable holding wall 5 comes into contact with the annular portion 32. The insulating cover main body 24 is in a state in which the annular portion 32 is also inserted therein. The insulating cover body 24 is held by the elastic restoring force of the elastic holding rib 2.

上記構成において、バッテリーターミナル２２を絶縁カバー２１で覆うと、嵌合係止部３０が上記接続端子の突出片に係止され、これによって絶縁カバー２１は係止状態になる。この時、弾性保持リブ２は、バッテリーターミナル２２の環状部３２に対して弾性接触する。また、浮き止め係止部３１は、環状部３２に対して引っ掛かる。本発明によれば、弾性保持リブ２によって絶縁カバー２１のガタツキが抑えられる。弾性保持リブ２は、環状部３２に対して弾性接触することから、ある程度の寸法のバラツキを吸収する。   In the above configuration, when the battery terminal 22 is covered with the insulating cover 21, the fitting locking portion 30 is locked to the protruding piece of the connection terminal, whereby the insulating cover 21 is locked. At this time, the elastic holding rib 2 makes elastic contact with the annular portion 32 of the battery terminal 22. Further, the suspending locking portion 31 is hooked with respect to the annular portion 32. According to the present invention, the backlash of the insulating cover 21 is suppressed by the elastic holding rib 2. Since the elastic holding rib 2 is in elastic contact with the annular portion 32, it absorbs variations of a certain size.

以上、図１及び図２を参照しながら説明してきたように、本発明によれば、被保持部材を保持してガタツキを抑えることができる。   As described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, according to the present invention, the held member can be held and rattling can be suppressed.
