A joint connector has wire holders ( 15 a , 15 b , 15 c ) that project in a wire draw-out direction from wire draw-out portions ( 14 b ) of housings ( 12 a , 12 b , 12 c ) where wires (W) connected with terminal fittings ( 20 ) are drawn out. The wires (W) are held tightly between
A joint connector has wire holders ( 15 a , 15 b , 15 c ) that project in a wire draw-out direction from wire draw-out portions ( 14 b ) of housings ( 12 a , 12 b , 12 c ) where wires (W) connected with terminal fittings ( 20 ) are drawn out. The wires (W) are held tightly between the inner surfaces of the opposite wire holding portions ( 15 a , 15 b , 15 c ). Holding projections ( 16 ) project from the inner surfaces of the wire holding portions ( 15 a , 15 b , 15 c ) toward the opposite surfaces, so that the wires (W) can be so held as not to come out while being partly squeezed.

1. A wire holding construction for a joint connector with at least first, second and third housings disposed one over the other, cavities defined between the first and second housings and between the second and third housings for accommodating terminal fittings at least first, second and third wire
1. A wire holding construction for a joint connector with at least first, second and third housings disposed one over the other, cavities defined between the first and second housings and between the second and third housings for accommodating terminal fittings at least first, second and third wire holders projecting in a wire draw-out direction from wire draw-out portions of the respective housings, wires to be connected with the terminal fittings can be drawn out from the wire draw-out portions and through spaces between the first and second wire holders and between the second and third wire holders, the wires being tightly held between inner surfaces of the opposite first and second wire holders and between inner surfaces of the opposite second and third wire holders, and holding projections being formed on the inner surfaces of the wire holders, the holding projections on the first and third wire holders projecting towards opposing surfaces of the second wire holder, and the holding projections on the second wire holders projecting toward opposing surfaces on the first and third wire holders, so that the wires are squeezed between the holding projections on opposing surfaces and do not come out. 2. The wire holding construction of claim 1, wherein each holding projection comprises a plurality of ribs extending substantially normal to the wire draw-out direction. 3. The wire holding construction of claim 2, wherein each wire holder is formed separately from the corresponding housing and is detachably attached thereto. 4. The wire holding construction of claim 1, wherein each wire comprises a sheath for covering a plurality of thin wires arranged substantially side by side and is held so as not to come out by having the sheath squeezed by the holding projections. 5. The wire holding construction of claim 1, wherein guiding means are provided for positioning the wire holders with respect to each other when the wire holders are placed substantially one over another. 6. A joint connector comprising: a at least first, second and third housings disposed one over the other, cavities formed between the first and second housings and between the second and third housings for accommodating terminal fittings, each said housing having a wire draw-out portion for accommodating wires in a wire draw-out direction, first, second and third wire holders projecting in the wire draw-out direction from the wire draw-out portions of the respective housings for accommodating the wires, and holding projections being formed on inner surfaces of the wire holders and projecting towards opposing surfaces for squeezing at least one wire between the holding projections on the first and second wire holders and for squeezing at least one wire between the holding projections on the second and third wire holders. 7. The joint connector of claim 6, further comprising locks for locking the respective housings with each other. 8. The joint connector of claim 7, wherein one of the housings is a lid for substantially covering an end of the joint connector. 9. The joint connector of claims 6 , wherein the first and third wire holders are movably connected to the respective first and third housings by a hinges. 10. The joint connector of claim 6, wherein the housings are lockable to each other by hooks. 11. A joint connector comprising: a at least first, second and third housings disposed one over the other, cavities formed between the first and second housings and between the second and third housings, terminal fittings accommodated in the cavities and wires connected to the terminal fittings, each said housing having a wire draw-out portion for accommodating the wires in a wire draw-out direction, at least first, second and third wire holders projecting in the wire draw-out direction from the wire draw-out portions of the respective housings for accommodating the wires, and holding projections being formed on inner surfaces of the wire holders and projecting tow ards opposing surfaces for squeezing at least a first of the wires between the first and second wire holders and for squeezing at least a second of the wires between the second and third wire holders for holding the wires in the joint connector. 12. The joint connector of claim 11, further comprising locks for locking the respective housings with each other. 13. The joint connector of claim 12, wherein one of the housings is a lid for substantially covering an end of the joint connector. 14. The joint connector of claims 11 , wherein the first and third wire holders are movably connected to the respective first and third housings by a hinges. 15. The joint connector of claim 11, wherein the housings are lockable to each other by hooks.
