The first side wall includes a locking portion engageable with a locked portion of a covered body. The second side wall includes an opposed locking portion engageable with an opposed locked portion of the covered body. The lock releasing portion includes: a release operation portion inclined and projecting from the top wall in a cover mounting direction; and a connecting portion connecting the release operation portion with the first side wall around the locking portion or the release operation portion with the locking portion.

A battery connection device includes a base end connector, a battery end connector and a waterproof rubber ring. The base end connector includes a base end terminal module. The base end terminal module is mounted to the base end connector. The base end connector has a ring-shaped holding groove. The holding groove surrounds the base end terminal module. The battery end connector is docked with the base end connector. The battery end connector includes a base plate, and a battery end terminal module mounted on the base plate. The base end terminal module is docked with the battery end terminal module. The waterproof rubber ring is mounted between the base end connector and the battery end connector.

A cover for a vehicle electrical system component, such as a pre-fuse assembly, that includes an integrated hinge and locking mechanism. The integrated hinge allows a pivoting cover portion to easily be rotated out of the way in order to give access to an underlying component (e.g., a jump post), while the integrated locking mechanism allows that same cover to be securely locked onto itself when no access is needed. The cover is not limited to a pre-fuse assembly and may be used with other vehicle electrical system components, such as a power distribution device (e.g., a power distribution box, an electrical connection box, a junction box assembly, etc.), a wire harness protector, etc.

A storage battery bolt terminal, related to the technical field of automobile electric appliance connection including a terminal (100), which includes a storage battery post connecting unit (101). Compressible units (102) are provided on two sides of an opening end of the storage battery post connecting unit (101). A cable connecting unit (104) is provided in another opening end of the storage battery post connecting unit (101). The storage battery bolt terminal further includes a gland (200) with a pressing unit (201), and one side of the gland (200) is provided with a rotating unit (202), wherein the compressible unit (102) is rotatably connected to the rotating unit (202), and the rotating unit (202) is provided with a locking unit (203). The storage battery bolt terminal is convenient to operate and high in working efficiency, tool-free disassembly and assembly are achieved on the connection of the storage battery post, a bolt tightening tool is omitted, the application is flexible, and the mounting cost is reduced.

A cover includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion may include a first section and/or a second section. The second portion may include a first section and/or a second section. The first section of the first portion and the first section of the second portion may be rotatably connected to each other, and/or the first section of the first portion and the second section of the first portion may be rotatably connected to each other. The first section of the first portion and/or the first section of the second portion may be configured to rotate about a first axis. The first section of the first portion and/or the second section of the first portion may be configured to rotate about a second axis. The first axis may be substantially perpendicular to the second axis. The first section of the second portion may include a first latch and/or a second latch.

A cover includes a top wall, a first side wall, a second side wall facing the first side wall, and a lock releasing portion. The first side wall includes a locking portion engageable with a locked portion of a covered body. The second side wall includes an opposed locking portion engageable with an opposed locked portion of the covered body. The lock releasing portion includes: a release operation portion inclined and projecting from the top wall in a cover mounting direction; and a connecting portion connecting the release operation portion with the first side wall around the locking portion or the release operation portion with the locking portion.

A terminal-equipped electric wire manufacturing apparatus, includes: a placing table on which a crimp terminal is placed while kept crimped to an electric wire; and a supply device that supplies an anticorrosive material to the crimp terminal placed on the placing table while kept crimped to the electric wire. While kept crimped to the electric wire, the crimp terminal has a communication hole allowing communication between a gap space portion in the crimp terminal and outside of the crimp terminal gap space portion. The placing table has a distribution hole positioned opposite the communication hole of the placed crimp terminal, the distribution hole allowing the anticorrosive material, supplied from the supply device, to flow in the distribution hole.

A terminal cap for covering a terminal that is attached to an end portion of an electric wire and is connected to a counterpart device, includes a first cover having a polygonal tubular shape and configured to cover a portion where the terminal is attached to the electric wire, and a second cover that is continuous with the first cover and configured to cover a portion where the terminal is connected to the counterpart device.

A method of forming an electrical terminal is presented herein. The method includes the step of stamping an electrical terminal preform from a sheet of metal. The electrical terminal preform having a base plate, a plurality of contact arms radially extending from the base plate, a wire attachment feature radially extending from the base plate, and a carrier strip. The base plate defines crimp wings. The method also includes the step of bending each of the plurality of contact arms to form a socket configured to receive a mating electrical terminal.
