Sliding Wire Terminal Structure for Reliable Crimpless Contact

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-forming fitting portions (concave and convex structures) on the holding protrusion before the crimping operation. These fitting portions are created during the terminal formation process, so when the holding protrusion is folded onto the wire, the fitting portions automatically engage to prevent sliding and turning up, ensuring reliability without requiring additional facilities during crimping.

The patent applies local quality by creating specific fitting portions (concave and convex structures) at localized areas on the holding protrusion and wire contact surface. These localized structural features provide enhanced friction and mechanical interlocking precisely where needed, preventing the holding protrusion from sliding or turning up while maintaining the overall simplicity of the terminal structure.

The patent extracts the essential connection function from the complex mold and jig system. By incorporating fitting portions directly into the terminal body and wire contact surfaces, the invention removes the need for specialized crimping facilities, allowing simple pressing operations to achieve reliable connections without expensive equipment.

The patent applies self-service by designing the terminal and wire with complementary fitting portions that automatically engage during the crimping process. The concave and convex structures self-align and interlock when the terminal is pressed onto the wire, eliminating the need for external fixtures or complex positioning mechanisms that would be required in conventional crimping systems.
