DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0031] An embodiment of the invention will be explained in reference to the drawings as follows. [0032] A housing (1) constituting a second plastic part is integrated to a door latch apparatus (not illustrated) mounted to inside of a vehicular door and a door portion thereof is integrally provided with a connector connecting portion (1 a) in a shape of a bottomed cylinder fitted with a wire connector (not illustrated) of an outside electrical equipment of a power source, a control circuit or the like. A bottom portion (1 b) of the connector connecting portion (1 a) is bored with a plurality (6 pieces according to the embodiment) of connection terminal introducing holes (1 c). [0033] An inner face side (an upper side in FIG. 1, on this side of paper face in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3) of the housing (1) is arranged with a motor (not illustrated) for operating various levers provided at the door latch apparatus, gears and links (not illustrated) operated by the motor and first and second waterproofing limit switches (2) and (3) for detecting positions of the various levers. [0034] Further, on the inner face side of the housing (1), a first, a second and a third terminal block (4), (5) and (6) constituting the first plastic part are respectively bonded thereto by ultrasonic welding capable of bonding plastic parts. [0035] As shown by FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, respectives of the first and the second terminal blocks (4) and (5) are insert-molded with wiring boards (7 a) and (9 a) continuous to two pieces of conductive connection terminals (7) and (9) projected substantially orthogonally from lower end portions thereof and introduced into the connection terminal introducing holes (1 c) and electric wires (8) and (10) wired to upper ends of the wiring boards (7 a) and (9 a) by soldering. [0036] The electric wire (8) emerging from an upper end of the first terminal block (4) is wired with an electric terminal of the first limit switch (2), further, the electric wire (10) emerging from an upper end of the second terminal block (5) is wired with an electric terminal of the second limit switch (3). [0037] As shown by FIG. 6, the third terminal block (6) is insert-molded with a wiring board (11 a) continuous to a connection terminal (11) introduced into the connection terminal introducing hole (1 c). A connection plate (11 b) connected to an electric terminal of the motor emerges from an upper end portion of the third terminal block (6). [0038] As shown mainly by FIG. 5 through FIG. 7, bonding faces of the respective terminal blocks (4), (5) and (6) (on this side of paper face in FIG. 4 through FIG. 7) are respectively provided with pluralities of holding holes (4 a), (5 a) and (6 a) formed for holding the wiring boards (7 a), (9 a) and (11 a) at a space of a die in insert-molding the wiring boards (7 a), (9 a) and (11 a) and respectively projected with hole side projected portion (4 b), (5 b) and (6 b) in a shape of a circular ring at surroundings of the respective holding holes (4 a), (5 a) and (6 a) and connection terminal side projected portions (4 c), (5 c) and (6 c) in a shape of a wedge capable of being brought into contact with peripheral edges of the connection terminal introducing holes (1 c) at surroundings of the connection terminals (7), (9) and (11). [0039] The respective hole side projected portions (4 b), (5 b) and (6 b) and the respective connection terminal side projected portions (4 c), (5 c) and (6 c) are for enabling to convert oscillation energy applied to the plastic part efficiently into thermal energy in bonding the plastic parts by ultrasonic welding. [0040] As shown by FIG. 9, the first terminal block (4) is tacked to a predetermined position of the housing (1) in a state in which first, the hole side projected portion (4 b) of the first terminal block (4) is brought into contact with a bonding face of the housing (1) and the connection terminal (7) is introduced to the corresponding connection terminal introducing hole (1 c) to thereby bring the connection terminal side projected portion (4 c) in the shape of the wedge into contact with the peripheral edge of the connection terminal introducing hole (1 c). Thereby, the first terminal block (4) can accurately be tacked to the housing (1). [0041] Further, as shown by FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, by applying ultrasonic wave to portions of the housing (1) and the first terminal block (4) for bonding under the state, the hole side projected portion (4 b) is melted and the surrounding of the holding hole (4 a) is bonded to the bonding face of the housing (1) and the connection terminal side projected portion (4 c) is melted and the surrounding of the root portion of the connection terminal (7) is bonded to the surrounding of the connection terminal introducing hole (1 c) of the housing (1), respectively. [0042] As mainly shown by FIG. 10, in carrying out the ultrasonic welding, a plastic material (a) forming the melted hole side projected portion (4 b) flows to the holding hole (4 a) and a plastic material (b) forming the melted connection terminal side projected portion (4 c) flows to a clearance between the connection terminal (7) and the connection terminal introducing hole (1 c). [0043] As described above, by bonding the surrounding of the holding hole (4 a) in the first terminal block (4) to the housing (1), it can firmly be hampered that rain water or the like invades a clearance between the bonding faces of the housing (1) and the first terminal block (4) and the rain water or the like invades the holding hole (4 a) and adhered to the wiring board (7 a). [0044] Further, by making the plastic material (a) forming the melted hole side projected portion (4 b) flow to the holding hole (4 a) and the plastic material (b) forming the melted connection terminal side projected portion (4 c) flow to the clearance between the connection terminal (7) and the connection terminal introducing hole (1 c), in welding the plastic parts by ultrasonic wave, there can be prevented occurrence of so-to-speak �flush� phenomenon in which the plastic material jumps out of the bonding faces of the plastic parts bonded to each other by pressure of a welding horn in an ultrasonic welder and the first terminal block (4) can accurately be bonded to the housing (1). [0045] Further, by making the plastic material (b) forming the melted connection terminal side projected portion (4 c) flow to the clearance between the connection terminal (7) and the connection terminal introducing hole (1 c), occurrence of the �flush� phenomenon is prevented, the clearance of the connection terminal introducing hole (1 c) inserted with the connection terminal (7) is completely closed and rain water can firmly be prevented from invading from the connection terminal introducing hole (1 c). [0046] As shown by FIG. 3, the third terminal block (6) is bonded to the housing (1) by ultrasonic welding in a state of being tacked to the left side of the first terminal block (4). Thereby, also in the third terminal block (6) similar to the first terminal block (4), respective surroundings of the holding hole (6 a) and the connection terminal (11) are bonded to the housing (1). [0047] As shown by FIG. 10, after bonding the first and the third terminal blocks (4) and (6) to the housing (1) by ultrasonic welding, the second terminal block (5) is stacked to the first terminal block (4), the hole side projected portion (5 b) is brought into contact with a bonding face of the first terminal block (a face on a side opposed to the face formed with the holding hole (4 a)), the connection terminal (9) is inserted into the corresponding connection terminal introducing hole (1 c) and the second terminal block (5) is tacked to a predetermined position of the housing (1) in a state in which the connection terminal side projected portion (5 c) is brought into contact with the peripheral edge of the connection terminal introducing hole (1 c). [0048] Further, by applying ultrasonic wave to the bonding portions of the first terminal block (4) bonded to the housing (1) and the second terminal block (5) under the state, as shown by FIG. 8 and FIG. 11, the two projected portions (5 b) and (5 c) are melted and the surrounding of the holding hole (5 a) and the surrounding of each connection terminal (9) are respectively bonded to the housing (1). [0049] Thereby, a plurality of the respective terminal blocks (4), (5) and (6) can efficiently be arranged to a small space, in the second terminal block (5) stacked to the first terminal block (4), similar to the first terminal block (4), by bonding the surroundings of the holding hole (5 a) and the connection terminal (9), it can firmly be prevented that rain water is adhered to the wiring board (9 a) and rain water invades from the connection terminal introducing hole (1 c) inserted with the connection terminal (9), the �flush� phenomenon is prevented from being brought about and the second terminal (5) can accurately be bonded to the first terminal block (5). [0050] Further, although according to the above-described embodiment, after bonding the first terminal block (4) to the housing (1), the second terminal block (5) is stacked to the first terminal block (4) to bond, instead thereof, prior to bonding the first terminal block (4) to the housing (1), the second terminal block (5) may be bonded to the first terminal block (4) by ultrasonic welding and thereafter, the first terminal block (4) may be bonded to the housing (1) by ultrasonic welding. [0051] Further, the invention is not specified to the above-described embodiment but the embodiment can be modified or changed within a range not deviated from the gist of the invention as follows. [0052] (i) The hole side projected portions (4 b) and (6 b) are provided at the bonding face of the housing (1) opposed to the surroundings of the holding holes (4 a) and (6 a) provided at the first and the third terminal blocks (4) and (6). [0053] (ii) The hole side projected portion (5 b) is provided at the bonding face of the first terminal block (4) opposed to the surrounding of the holding hole (5 a) provided at the second terminal block (5). [0054] (iii) The connection terminal side projected portions (4 c), (5 c) and (6 c) are provided at the surroundings of the connection terminal introducing holes (1 c) in the housing (1). [0055] (iv) The surroundings of the holding holes (4 a) and (6 a) and the surroundings of the connection terminals (7) and (11) in the first and the third terminal blocks (4) and (6) are respectively bonded to the housing (1) by an adhering agent without providing the hole side projected portions (4 b) and (6 b) and the connection terminal side projected portions (4 c) and (6 c) in the first and the third terminal blocks (4) and (6). [0056] (v) The surrounding of the holding hole (5 a) and the surrounding of the connection terminal (9) in the second terminal block (5) are respectively bonded to the housing (1) by an adhering agent without providing the whole side projected portion (5 b) and the connection terminal side projected portion (5 c) in the second terminal block (5). [0057] According to the invention, the following effect can be achieved. [0058] (a) According to the first aspect of the invention, the surrounding of the holding hole in the first plastic part is bonded to the bonding face of the second plastic part to thereby close the holding hole and therefore, it can firmly be prevented that rain water or the like invades the holding hole and is adhered to the wiring board. [0059] (b) According to the second aspect of the invention, the surrounding of the connection terminal in the first plastic part is bonded to the surrounding of the connection terminal introducing hole of the second plastic part to thereby close the clearance of the connection terminal introducing hole in the second plastic part therefore, it can firmly be prevented that rainwater or the like invades inside of the second plastic part from the clearance between the connection terminal and the connection terminal introducing hole. [0060] (c) According to the third aspect of the invention, the effects of both the first and second aspects of the invention can be achieved.
