Abstract
An electric junction box having an aperture on one side of a case that houses conductive material, the aperture receiving a subsequently installed component when the electric junction box is assembled. The conductive material mounted in the case is exposed at the aperture; wires connecting to other conductive material are passed through the aperture; and a cover provided inside the aperture is folded to cover the conductive material while the wires are installed, preventing interference of the wires with the subsequently installed part.
Claims19
An electric junction box having a case that houses conductive material and an aperture to receive a subsequently installed component on one side of the case, said electric junction box comprising:
- first conductive material housed inside the case and exposed at said aperture;
- wires connected to second conductive material, said wires passing through said aperture;
- and
- a cover provided in said aperture, said cover being configured to cover said first conductive material while the wires are passed through the aperture in a lateral direction, and said cover being configured to prevent interference between the wires and the subsequently installed component.
A method of assembling an electric junction box having a case that houses conductive material and an aperture to receive a subsequently installed component on one side of the case, said method comprising:
- providing a first conductive material housed inside the case and exposed at said aperture;
- providing wires connected to second conductive material, said wires passing through said aperture;
- and
- providing a cover in said aperture, said cover being configured to cover said first conductive material while the wires are passed through the aperture in a lateral direction, and said cover being configured to prevent interference between the wires and the subsequently installed component.
