Connector Terminal, Connector, and Size Adjustment Device
First Claim
1. A connector terminal, comprising:
- a tubular section having a lance formed by cutting a part of a peripheral wall thereof and raising the same about its base part,wherein at least a portion of the peripheral wall in which the lance is cut and raised is curved to bulge outward as seen from an opening direction of the tubular section, andwherein the lance has a pair of end edges opposed to each other in a width direction orthogonal to a direction in which the lance extends, and at least one of the pair of end edges at least on the side of the base part of the lance is formed to come close to an opposed one of the at least one of the pair of end edges as it advances toward a leading end of the lance.

Abstract
Provided is a connector terminal, including: a tubular section having a lance formed by cutting a part of a peripheral wall thereof and raising the same about its base part. At least a portion of the peripheral wall in which the lance is cut and raised is curved to bulge outward as seen from an opening direction of the tubular section. The lance has a pair of end edges opposed to each other in a width direction orthogonal to a direction in which the lance extends, and at least one of the pair of end edges at least on the side of the base part of the lance is formed to come close to an opposed one of the at least one of the end edges as it advances toward a leading end of the lance. Also provided are a connector including the connector terminal, and a size adjustment device.

4. A size adjustment device, comprising:
-
a pressing section capable of pressing a portion to be pressed, which is a portion in a peripheral direction of a tubular section of a member having the tubular section, toward an inside of the tubular section; and a supporting unit capable of supporting a residual portion in the peripheral direction of the tubular section other than the portion to be pressed, by abutting on the residual portion from an outer side. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7)
