【考案が解決しようとする課題】[Problems to be solved by the device]

しかしながら、このような従来のバッテリ用電気接続具にあっては、接続端子 １をバッテリのポスト２に被せた後、その接続端子１をポスト２の周面に圧接せ しめるためボルト４、ナット５を締着するが、このボルトナットの軸方向は、バ ッテリポストの軸方向（垂直方向）に対して直交方向（水平方向）であるために 、そのボルトナットの締付作業は、接続端子１の側面で行なわなければならない 。 However, in such a conventional battery electric connector, the bolt 4 and the nut 5 are used to press the connection terminal 1 onto the post 2 of the battery after the connection terminal 1 is covered with the post 2 of the battery. Since the axial direction of this bolt and nut is orthogonal (horizontal direction) to the axial direction (vertical direction) of the battery post, the tightening work of the bolt and nut is Must be done on the side.

【０００４】 従って多数の機器が密集されているエンジンルーム内において設備されている バッテリのポスト２に、上記横方向のボルトナット４，５を締着して接続端子１ を圧接させる作業時は、そのボルトナットを締付けるに使用する工具がバッテリ に近設されている設備機器やユニットに邪魔されて、そのボルトナットの締付作 業がしずらく、これが原因で締着力の不足を起して接触不良を生じる等の問題点 があった。Therefore, when the horizontal bolt nuts 4 and 5 are fastened to the battery post 2 which is installed in the engine room where a large number of devices are densely packed, and the connection terminal 1 is pressed, The tools used to tighten the bolts and nuts are disturbed by the equipment and units installed near the battery, making it difficult to tighten the bolts and nuts, which causes insufficient tightening force. There were problems such as poor contact.

【課題を解決するための手段】[Means for Solving the Problems]

本考案は、かかる従来の問題点に着目してなされたもので、接続端子をバッテ リポストに圧接させるためのボルトナットの軸方向を、バッテリポストの軸方向 と同方向となるように設けて、ボルトナットの締付作業を電気接続具の上部で行 ない得るようにしてその締付作業の作業性と確実性を高めることができるバッテ リ用電気接続具を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and the axial direction of the bolt nut for pressing the connection terminal to the battery post is provided so as to be the same as the axial direction of the battery post. An object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector for a battery, which enables tightening work of bolts and nuts to be performed on the upper part of the electrical connector, thereby improving workability and reliability of the tightening work.

It is formed following one side end of the pressure contact portion 12, and is formed following the first screw insertion portion 13 having a substantially front shape and including the side wall portion 13a and the flat surface portion 13b and the other end of the post pressure contact portion 12. Further, the second screw insertion portion 14 having a substantially front shape, which is composed of the side wall portion 14a and the flat surface portion 14b superposed on the flat surface portion 13b, is integrally formed.

【０００８】 また前記の平面部１３ｂ及び１４ｂの中央部には締付ボルト１５を挿通せしめ るための透孔１３ｃ及び１４ｃが夫々穿設されている。１６は側面略横Ｕ字状に 形成されている押圧片であって、この押圧片１６の上側端部にはボルト挿通孔１ ６ａが、またその下側端部にはボルト螺着のためのねじ孔１６ｂが形成されてい る。１７は前記第１のねじ挿通部１３に続いて一体に形成されている電線接続部 、１８はバッテリポストを示す。Further, through holes 13c and 14c for inserting the tightening bolts 15 are formed in the central portions of the flat portions 13b and 14b, respectively. Reference numeral 16 denotes a pressing piece formed in a substantially lateral U-shape on the side surface. The pressing piece 16 has a bolt insertion hole 16a at its upper end and a bolt insertion hole at its lower end for screwing a bolt. A screw hole 16b is formed. Reference numeral 17 denotes a wire connecting portion integrally formed following the first screw insertion portion 13, and 18 denotes a battery post.

【０００９】 以上が本実施例の構成であるが、次にその作用について述べると、互に対向さ れている第１のねじ挿通部１３の平面部１３ｂと、第２のねじ挿通部１４の平面 部１４ｂとを重ね合わせると共に、その平面部１３ｂの下側に押圧片１６を当て がい、次いで互に重なり合うそれぞれのボルト挿通孔１４ｃ，１３ｃ，１６ａに ボルト１５を挿通すると共に、そのボルト１５をねじ孔１６ｂに螺合させる。The configuration of the present embodiment has been described above. Next, the operation thereof will be described. The flat portion 13b of the first screw insertion portion 13 and the second screw insertion portion 14 which face each other are described. The flat portion 14b is overlapped, the pressing piece 16 is applied to the lower side of the flat portion 13b, and then the bolt 15 is inserted into each of the bolt insertion holes 14c, 13c, 16a that overlap each other, and the bolt 15 is inserted. It is screwed into the screw hole 16b.

【００１０】 そこで図示のように、ポスト圧接部１２と押圧片１６との間に、バッテリポス ト１８を挿入した後、上記ボルト１５を、ねじ孔１６ｂ内にねじ込むことにより 押圧片１６は偏平状に変形され、この変形力で、押圧片１６の湾曲部でバッテリ ポスト１８を押圧するため、この押圧力でバッテリポスト１８の周面がポスト圧 接部１２と圧接され、電気接続具１１とバッテリポスト１８との接続が確保でき るものである。Therefore, as shown in the drawing, after inserting the battery post 18 between the post pressure contact portion 12 and the pressing piece 16, the pressing piece 16 is flattened by screwing the bolt 15 into the screw hole 16b. Since the battery post 18 is pressed by the bending portion of the pressing piece 16 by this deforming force, the peripheral surface of the battery post 18 is pressed against the post pressing portion 12 by this pressing force, and the electrical connector 11 and the battery are The connection with the post 18 can be secured.

【００１１】 従ってこの実施例の電気接続具によれば、この電気接続具本体１１を、バッテ リポスト１８に接続させるための接続作業が、電気接続具本体１１の上下軸方向 （垂直方向）に中心軸を有する締付ねじ１５の締付力で行なえることから、中心 軸が横方向に位置されている締付ねじに対して、締付ねじの締付作業性及び締付 の確実性が得られるものである。Therefore, according to the electrical connector of this embodiment, the connecting work for connecting the electrical connector body 11 to the battery post 18 is centered in the vertical axis direction (vertical direction) of the electrical connector body 11. Since it can be performed by the tightening force of the tightening screw 15 having the shaft, it is possible to obtain the tightening workability and the certainty of the tightening screw with respect to the tightening screw whose central axis is located in the lateral direction. It is what is done.
