TERMINAL STRUCTURE FOR USE IN POWER FEEDING
First Claim
1. A terminal structure for use in power feeding, comprising:
- a first terminal, the first terminal including a base portion and a tip portion, the first terminal having a shape extending from the base portion to the tip portion along an axis of the first terminal, the first terminal being insertable into and removable from a second terminal, the second terminal being tubular,the first terminal having a first form at a predetermined temperature, the first form being a form in which an outer dimension of the tip portion is smaller than an outer dimension of the base portion when viewed in a direction of a central axis of the first terminal,the first terminal being configured to deform into a second form when a temperature of the first terminal exceeds the predetermined temperature, the second form being a form of the first terminal in which an outer dimension of the tip portion is larger than the outer dimension of the tip portion of the first form when viewed in a direction of the central axis of the first terminal.

Abstract
A terminal structure for use in power feeding includes a first terminal that includes a base portion and a tip portion, that has a shape extending from the base portion to the tip portion along an axis of the first terminal, and that is insertable into and removable from a second terminal, which is tubular. At a predetermined temperature, the first terminal has a first form in which an outer dimension of the tip portion is smaller than that of the base portion when viewed in a direction of a central axis of the first terminal. When a temperature of the first terminal exceeds the predetermined temperature, the first terminal deforms into a second form in which an outer dimension of the tip portion is larger than that of the tip portion of the first form when viewed in a direction of the central axis of the first terminal.
