According to the present invention, there is provided a grommet installed between a vehicle body panel and an openable and closable door panel, wherein an elongated bellows tube into which a wire harness is inserted is provided. Part, provided with a locking portion to the both panels at both ends of the bellows cylinder portion, in the bellows cylinder portion is folded in two when the door panel is closed, at least a side portion of the bellows cylinder portion On the other hand, when the bellows tube portion is folded in two along with the closing of the door panel, a deformation regulating portion for regulating the bent portion to be folded in a required direction is formed along the axial direction. We provide grommet for wire harness which is the feature.

More specifically, a receiving recess is formed in the vehicle body panel to receive the bellows cylinder portion folded in half with the closing of the door panel. The bending load on the wire harness is reduced without crushing. The deformation restricting portion is formed of a rib integrally protruded so as to extend linearly along the axial direction of the bellows tube portion or a band-shaped flat surface formed by crushing a mountain portion of the bellows tube portion.

According to the above configuration, the bellows cylinder portion that is folded following the closing of the door panel is restricted by the deformation regulating portion in the folding direction, so that it is always folded in two in the required direction where the accommodation space is secured. Thus, it is possible to prevent the grommet from being sandwiched between the vehicle body panel and the door panel, or to prevent the grommet from projecting indoors.

The deformation restricting portion is formed at a portion other than the vicinity of the bent portion where the bellows tube portion is folded in two. The deformation restricting portion is formed at one side of a direction orthogonal to a plane in the folding direction. Alternatively, the bellows tube portion formed on both side surfaces and provided with the deformation restricting portion is held straight without bending. The bending direction of the bellows cylindrical portion can be reliably controlled by the deformation restricting portion.

Further, since the deformation restricting portion is formed except for the vicinity of the bent portion when the bellows cylindrical portion is folded in two, the bending point of the bellows cylindrical portion is always located at the center where the deformation restricting portion is not formed. With this configuration, the folding operation of the bellows cylinder in the required direction can be further ensured.

At both ends of the bellows tube portion 12, opposing positions on both sides of the side portion (positions shifted by 180 °) over a required range.
When the bellows tube portion 12 is folded, the bent portion 1 at the intermediate position
A deformation regulating portion 15 for regulating the direction is provided along the axial direction so that 2a is folded in a predetermined direction. The position where the deformation restricting portion 15 is formed is on both side surfaces in a direction orthogonal to the plane in the folding direction of the bellows tube portion 12 to be coincident with the plane in the opening and closing direction of the door panel P2, and the bellows tube portion 12 is bent in a direction other than the folding direction. I try to regulate. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the deformation restricting portion 15 is formed in a range excluding the vicinity of the bent portion 12a at an intermediate position. This is because when the bellows tube portion 12 is folded in two, it is easy to bend the bent portion 12a as a bending point. The deformation restricting portion 15 in the first embodiment is configured by integrally protruding a rib 15a extending linearly so as to fill a gap between the peak portion 12b and the valley portion 12c on the outer surface of the bellows cylindrical portion 12. ing.

FIG. 3 (A) shows a state in which the grommet 11 having the above structure is installed between the vehicle body panel P1 and the door panel P2, and the locking portions 13 and 14 are locked in the respective through holes P1a and P2a. At the same time, the wire harness W / H is inserted into the grommet 11. Door panel P2
In the open state, the bellows tube portion 12 is in a substantially extended state. When the door panel P2 is operated to be closed from this state, the grommet 11 is folded following the operation, and at this time, the deformation restricting portion 15 protruding from the bellows tube portion 12 is provided.
Is gradually folded while restricting the bending from the middle in a direction other than the required folding direction. As shown in FIG. 3B, the grommet 11 is folded in two with the middle bent portion 12a having no deformation restricting portion 15 as a bending point, and the folded bellows tube portion 12 is attached to the body panel P1.

FIGS. 4A and 4B show a second embodiment of the grommet 21, in which the configuration of the deformation restricting portion 25 is different from that of the first embodiment. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and the description is omitted. The formation position and range of the deformation restricting portion 25 are the same as in the first embodiment, but in the second embodiment, the rib 25
As a, the projection is made to protrude further outward by about 1 mm than the peak 12b of the bellows cylinder 12. Thereby, the bending direction restricting action of the deformation restricting portion 25 when the bellows tube portion 12 is folded can be made more effective.

FIGS. 5A and 5B show a third embodiment of the grommet 31. The configuration of the deformation restricting portion 35 is different from those of the first and second embodiments. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first and second embodiments, the same reference numerals are given and the description is omitted. The formation position and range of the deformation restricting portion 35 are the same as those in the first and second embodiments. However, in the third embodiment, the deformation restricting portion 35 is formed by crushing the ridges 12b on both side surfaces of the bellows tube portion 12. It is a strip-shaped flat surface 35a. Since the bellows 12b and the valley 12c do not expand and contract the bellows at the side surface portion where the band-shaped flat surface 35a is formed, the bellows are prevented from bending toward the band-shaped flat surface 35a,
The same deformation regulating action as the ribs 15a, 25a of the first and second embodiments can be achieved.

Can be prevented from bending.
Further, in each embodiment, the example in which the deformation restricting portions 15, 25, and 35 are formed on both side surfaces of the bellows tube portion 12 has been described, but they may be formed on only one of the side surfaces.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the bellows cylinder can be bent in a direction other than the normal folding direction by the deformation restricting portion formed on the side surface of the bellows cylinder. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the bellows tube portion from being pinched between the vehicle body panel and the door panel.
Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the wire harness from being damaged due to the pinch, and the foreign matter from being caught on the protrusion of the bellows tube.
