A terminal metal fitting assembling structure

Abstract

In the terminal metal fitting assembling structure, a projecting portion is provided in a plate-like overlap portion which is formed in a second terminal metal fitting. In addition, the position of provision of the projecting or pressing portion is set outside of an area A with which the head portion of a tightening bolt is directly contacted. Due to this, when the two terminal metal fittings are tightened by the tightening bolt, a plate-like overlap portion formed in the first terminal metal fitting is flexibly deformed and is pressed through the projecting or pressing portion against the plate-like overlap portion of the second terminal metal fitting, so that the two terminal metal fittings can be strongly contacted with each other by means of a resilient force generated by the flexibly deformed plate-like overlap portion. This makes it possible to increase the contact pressure between the two terminal metal fittings. Still further, since the projecting or pressing portion is not tightened directly, even if the two terminal metal fittings are tightened excessively by the tightening bolt, the projecting portion can be prevented from being crushed.
