LOCKING STRUCTURE OF TERMINAL FITTING, BULB SOCKET, AND ILLUMINATION DEVICE

摘要

A locking structure of a terminal fitting includes a terminal fitting, a terminal containing portion that holds and contains the terminal fitting, and a restriction member that is separate from and is attached to the terminal containing portion. A lock projection of the terminal fitting is locked on a holding-side lock portion of the terminal containing portion at a lock position of the holding-side lock portion. The holding-side lock portion is provided so as to be deformed elastically in such a direction as to reduce an elastic deformation amount of the lock projection being moved toward the lock position for the elastic restoration. The restriction member has a restriction wall which restricts elastic deformation of the holding-side lock portion in an unlocking direction in which the lock with the lock projection is released.

主权项

1. A locking structure of a terminal fitting, comprising:
a terminal fitting; a terminal containing portion that holds and contains the terminal fitting therein; and a restriction member that is separate from and is attached to the terminal containing portion, wherein a lock projection of the terminal fitting is locked on a holding-side lock portion of the terminal containing portion as a result of elastic restoration of the lock projection at a lock position of the holding-side lock portion; wherein the holding-side lock portion is provided so as to be deformed elastically in such a direction as to reduce an elastic deformation amount of the lock projection being moved toward the lock position for the elastic restoration; and wherein the restriction member has a restriction wall which restricts elastic deformation of the holding-side lock portion in an unlocking direction in which the lock with the lock projection is released.
