Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a holder for a wire bundle and a jig for removing the holder, and more particularly, to bundle a long wire bundle such as a wire harness at a predetermined position on a panel of a vehicle body or an electric device. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a wire bundle holding tool that can be fixed by pressing, and a holding tool removal jig that can remove the holding tool from a panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, it is known to use a binding band as a holder for fixing a wire bundle such as a wire harness at a predetermined position on a panel of a vehicle body, an electric device, or the like. 4 and 5.

In FIGS. 4 and 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a binding band. The binding band 1 is wound around a wire harness 2 and has a band member 3 having a saw-like uneven portion 3a formed in an extending direction. The movable piece 5 is inserted into an opening 4a formed in the panel 4 of the electronic device or the like.
a and 5b are brought into contact with each other, and a non-return locking member 5 which is retained and locked to the panel 4 is projected from the front end portion of the band member 3 so as to surround the non-return locking member 5 and a predetermined elasticity. A dish-shaped member 6 having a force and an insertion hole 7 formed at the base end of the band member 3 and capable of being inserted from the front end of the band member 3
a and a lock member 7 having an engagement claw 7b that is engaged with the saw-shaped uneven portion 3a when the band member 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 7a.

[0004] In such a binding band 1, a band member 3 is wound around a wire harness 2,
Is inserted into the insertion hole 7a, and when the diameter of the wire harness 2 substantially coincides with the diameter of the wire harness 2, the saw-shaped uneven portion 3a is engaged with the engagement claw 7b. Hold 2 firmly.

Next, when attaching the wire harness 2 to the panel 4, the non-return locking member 5 is inserted into the opening 4 a of the panel 4 so that the tips of the movable pieces 5 a and 5 b are opened on one side of the panel 4. It is brought into contact with the periphery of the portion 4a. At this time, the dish-shaped member 6
By pulling the non-return locking member 5 on the other side surface of the panel 4, the thickness of the panel 4 is absorbed, and the contact force of the non-return locking member 5 is prevented from varying. Thus, the wire harness 2 is attached to the panel 4 by the binding band 1.

The non-return locking member 5 is designed to give a holding force of usually about 10 to 15 kg so that the wire harness 2 does not fall off the panel 4.

[0007]

However, in such a conventional binding band 1, when the binding band 1 is attached to the panel 4, the non-return locking member 5 comes off the panel 4 with a high holding force. When the binding band 1 is detached from the panel 4, a U-shaped arm 8 as shown in FIG. 6 is inserted between the dish-shaped member 6 and the panel 4 so that the distal end of the arm 8 is fixed. It was necessary to perform an operation of moving the other end of the arm 8 upward using the fulcrum. For this reason, the binding band 1
Is very troublesome, and the check locking member 5 may remain on the panel 4 in some cases.

That is, as described above, the binding band 1
If it cannot be taken out, the following problems will occur.

In recent years, in an environment where various product materials are recycled, for example, when recycling vehicles, it is necessary to increase the purity of iron constituting a vehicle body (panel). It is necessary to remove unnecessary metal attached to the vehicle body from the vehicle body. At this time, if the wire harness mainly using copper is still attached to the vehicle body, the purity of iron naturally decreases, which is inconvenient for recycling.

Therefore, if the binding band 1 cannot be easily removed from the panel 4 as in the prior art, the wire harness 2 remains attached to the panel 4, which is a major factor in preventing the purity of the vehicle body from being increased. I will.

Accordingly, the present invention enables the wire bundle to be easily removed from the panel member, thereby improving the workability of disassembling the wire bundle and the panel member, and greatly increasing the recycling rate of the panel member. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wire bundle holder and a holder removal jig which can be improved.

[0012]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a wire bundle holder for holding a wire bundle made of a plurality of wires and attaching the wire bundle to a panel member, wherein the holder is inserted into an opening formed in the panel member. A possible hollow main body, a long band member provided in the main body and being wound around the wire bundle, and capable of holding the wire bundle, and a slit formed on an opposing surface of the main body. A pair of locking pieces, one end of which is rotatably attached to the main body, protrudes and is housed inside and outside of the main body through the slit, and is engageable with the panel member when protruding outside the main body. And a biasing member provided between the locking pieces to bias the locking pieces outwardly of the main body, and the other end of the locking pieces to protrude outward from the slit. A pair of holes that are provided in the It is characterized in that a Jo member.

In this case, in order to attach the holder to the panel member, after holding the wire bundle with the binding band and inserting the main body into the opening of the panel member, the locking piece comes into contact with the inner peripheral portion of the opening. Therefore, the locking pieces are housed in the main body, and the main body exits the opening. At this time, since the locking piece is urged by the urging member and protrudes outward from the main body, the locking piece abuts on the periphery of the opening and is locked by the panel member. As a result, the wire bundle is attached to the panel member.

On the other hand, in order to remove the holder from the panel member, a projection provided at the end of the jig is inserted into the insertion hole of the plate member, and the plate member is pressed against the urging force of the urging member. Is moved so as to be stored in the main body, the locking pieces are also stored in the main body together. For this reason, the locking state of the locking piece and the panel member is released, and the main body comes out of the opening. As a result,
The wire bundle can be easily removed from the panel member via the holder, and the workability of disassembling the wire bundle and the panel member can be improved, and the recycling rate of the panel member can be greatly improved. it can.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a jig for removing the holding tool according to the first aspect from the panel member, wherein a pair of arms intersecting around a fulcrum are provided. And a protrusion that can be inserted into the insertion hole at the tip of the arm.

In this case, when the holding tool is removed from the panel member, the projection provided at the tip of the arm is inserted into the insertion hole of the plate-like member, and the plate-like member is pressed against the urging force of the urging member. When the main body is moved so as to be housed, the locking pieces are also housed in the main body, so that the locking state between the locking pieces and the panel member is released, and the main body can be pulled out of the opening. As a result, by using the detachment jig, the wire bundle can be easily removed from the panel member via the holder, and the workability of disassembling the wire bundle and the panel member can be further improved.
