Branching connector fixing structure

Abstract

The branching connector fixing structure ( 20 ) has a pair of band-shaped frames ( 12 ) that are disposed apart in the direction of thickness, a plurality of flat circuit bodies ( 22 ) that are disposed respectively in layers between the band-shaped frames ( 12 ), and the branching connectors ( 24 ) that are respectively disposed on the flat circuit bodies ( 22 ), for the purpose of disposing of the branching connectors ( 24 ) along the same surfaces that are parallel to the respective band-shaped frames ( 12 ), wherein the branching connectors ( 24 ) is supported via a pair of fixing members ( 40 ), ( 50 ), bridging between the band-shaped frames ( 12 ) and fastenable in the predetermined position in the direction where each of the fixing members ( 40 ), ( 50 ) are disposed.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A branching connector fixing structure having a pair of band-shaped frames disposed apart in a first direction, said branching connector fixing structure, comprising: 
 at least one flat circuit body disposed between said band-shaped frames;    at least one branching connector provided at said at least one flat circuit body;    a pair of fixing members which supports said at least one branching connector, each of said fixing members bridged between said band-shaped frames;    wherein said at least one branching connector is fixable to a predetermined position of said fixing member in said first direction.    
     
     
         2 . A branching connector fixing structure according to    claim 1   , wherein said fixing member is fixable to a predetermined position of said band-shaped frames in a direction substantially perpendicular to said first direction.  
     
     
         3 . A branching connector fixing structure according to    claim 2   , wherein a plurality of a pair of engagement holes are respectively formed at said pair of band-shaped frames at predetermined intervals, a pair of hooks engaged with said pair of engagement holes are provided formed at said fixing member.  
     
     
         4 . A branching connector fixing structure according to    claim 1   , wherein at least one clasp part formed at said branching connector is attached to an insertion part formed at said fixing member.  
     
     
         5 . A branching connector fixing structure according to    claim 4   , wherein said at least one clasp part is slidable along said insertion part in said first direction.  
     
     
         6 . A branching connector fixing structure according to    claim 4   , wherein said at least one clasp part is positioned between positioning portions formed at the insertion part at predetermined intervals.  
     
     
         7 . A branching connector fixing structure according to    claim 1   , wherein a plurality of said flat circuit bodies are superposed each other.  
     
     
         8 . A branching connector fixing structure according to    claim 1   , wherein said branching connector is disposed parallel to said band-shaped frames.
