DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing the following embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an automobile ground connector according to the present invention.
Are provided with three or more (four in the figure) male terminals 2 and a casing 4 having one opening 3 for surrounding the male terminals 2.

More specifically, the male terminal 2 is composed of a small band-shaped piece, and the casing 4 is formed in a flat rectangular shape with plastic or the like. As shown in FIG. A single lead wire 5 protrudes from the base end 4a. That is, the casing 4 has the opening 3 on one side, and the lead wire 5 protrudes from the other base end 4a.

As shown in FIG. 3, the male terminals 2.
Are arranged in a line, and the male terminals 2 ...
Has a common base 6 and is formed in a comb shape as a whole. Then, from this common base 6, (FIG. 1
As shown in (1), one lead wire 5 is extended.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the lead wire 5 has one end 5a connected to the common base 6 and the other end 5b
Is provided with a bolt connection terminal portion 7 for connecting to a bolt in an automobile. In addition, this bolt connection terminal part 7
It may be a round plate terminal (as shown in FIG. 4) or a hoe-shaped terminal.

Next, the method of using the automotive ground connection device 1 will be described. First, as shown in FIG.
A flat female terminal 8 provided at the tip of the cord C is inserted into one male terminal 2 in the direction of arrow A and connected. For the remaining three male terminals 2 (not shown), flat female terminals 8 are similarly inserted and connected.

Next, the bolt connection terminal portion 7 provided at the other end 5b of the lead wire 5 extending from the common base portion 6 is connected to the bolt B in the automobile, and the state shown in FIG. . In this manner, a plurality of negative poles can be obtained simply by connecting one terminal section 7 to one bolt B, and a plurality of negative poles of the electric equipment for a vehicle can be connected.

Referring again to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the vehicle power supply connector 9 will be described. This vehicle power supply connector 9 is (as shown in FIG. 4) the above-described vehicle ground connection. A power supply connection terminal 10 is provided in place of the bolt connection terminal 7 provided on the vehicle ground connection tool 1 and has the same shape as that of the tool 1 so as to be easily connected to a power supply in the vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 6, the power supply connector 9 for a vehicle takes a plurality of positive power supplies by simply connecting one power supply terminal 10 to one power supply (battery in the figure). It is possible to connect a plurality of positive poles of the electrical equipment for a vehicle.

It is preferable that the power supply connection terminal section 10 be changed depending on the shape of the power supply. For example, if the power source is a battery, it may be a round plate terminal (as shown in FIG. 6). When the power supply is a flat fuse box, it is preferable to use a pseudo-beaded male terminal.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be freely changed in design. For example, the male terminals 2... May be pseudo jewel-shaped female terminals or flat female terminals. Further, the conductor of the cord may be directly connected to the bolt B (or power supply) without providing the bolt connection terminal 7 (or power supply connection terminal 10).

[0020]

The present invention has remarkable effects as described below.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to connect a plurality of negative poles of the electrical equipment for an automobile simply by connecting one terminal 7 to one bolt B in the automobile. Wiring cords are neatly organized,
Workability is good and wiring work is reduced.

(According to Claims 2 and 5) Male terminals 2 ...
Are provided, the male terminals 2... Can be protected and are safe.
(According to claim 3), it can be easily and reliably connected to the bolt B in the automobile, and the work is reduced.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of positive power sources can be easily taken out from a single power source in the automobile, and the work of connecting a plurality of positive poles of the electric equipment for automobile can be reduced. . In addition, since the wiring cords are also neatly organized, the work is easy.

(According to claim 6) Power supply in the automobile
It can be easily and reliably connected to {for example, a battery or a fuse box}, and the work is reduced.
