No. 759,696, issued on May 10, 1904. Although disclosing primarily a wash hand basin, '696 teaches a deep basin segmented by a lower-than-the-rim partition means into two minor basins. The bottoms of the minor basins are arcuate in shape to facilitate a two-handed scooping motion from the outer sides (interior bowl rim) of the minor basin, down towards the arcuate bottoms and up along the partition until the user's hands join at the edges of the palms in a cupping motion. Thus, the teaching of '696 is of a symmetrically partitioned basin which facilitates the use of one's hands in cupping water from the basin and drawing it towards the user (seemingly, the user's face). The symmetrical design of this basin is not suitable for my purposes. First,and the conductors of the wire 40 are press-fitted into the slots of pressing blades 38. As a result, the sheathed portion of the wire 40 is cut by the respective pressing blades 38 to thereby establish electrical connection of the conductors with the connector. In addition, the upper ends of the pressing blades 38 are received in releasing grooves 105 arranged in the pressing section 103 so as to prevent displacement of the pressing blades in the longitudinal direction. Thereafter, the outer sheathed portion is fixed by crimping pieces 36a, so that the wire pressing operation is completed.
Next, a conventional example in which a wire is crimped to a pressure terminal after the pressure terminal has been received in a connector housing will be described. This wire
