Patent ID: 8912443

Claim:
A bus bar and a body for an electric junction box assembly, comprising: a hole disposed in the bus bar, and having a burr, the bus bar provided with a base plate; and a projection formed in the body, and suited for being press-fit into the hole, wherein the projection extends beyond the burr when being press-fit into the hole, wherein the body and projection are formed of a same insulative material and integral with each other, and the projection extends from a wall of the body, wherein the projection includes a plurality of press-fit ribs extending outwardly from a peripheral surface thereof, each of the press fit ribs individually having an approximate triangular cross-section which is in parallel with the base plate of the bus bar, the triangular cross-section having one side facing the press-fit rib and two sides not facing the press-fit rib, and wherein each of the press-fit ribs is press fit into the hole such that one corner of the triangular cross-section not facing the projection and two sides of the triangular cross-section not facing the projection are subjected to compression deformation inside the hole, thereby coming in contact with an interior surface of the hole, wherein the bus bar is mounted to the body of the electric junction box via an engagement therebetween and wherein the engagement only depends on the compression deformation.
