Description

  The present invention relates to a holder for holding a linear body such as a pipe / rod or a wire harness used inside an automobile.

  Although not shown in the drawings, this conventional holding device includes a first holding piece and a second holding piece that are connected to each other through a thin hinge portion, and is an integrally molded product of synthetic resin. The concave holding grooves are formed on the inner surfaces facing each other, and the protrusions and the depressions are alternately formed on both side edges of each holding groove, and each free end side of the first holding piece and the second holding piece It is the structure which provides the latching means which can latch mutually (for example, refer patent document 1).

And when actually holding a pipe or the like of an automobile, the first holding piece and the second holding piece are opened, and the pipe is placed in the holding groove having the concave shape of the first holding piece. After that, when the second holding piece is overlapped on the first holding piece side through the thin hinge portion, the locking means provided on the free end side of each holding piece are locked, so that the pipe is held. Will be. Also, in such a state, the protrusions and recesses formed alternately on both side edges of each holding groove abut and form a crank-like cut at the outer periphery of the pipe. As a result, it is possible to effectively prevent lateral displacement of the pipe holder with respect to the width direction.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-14771

  Therefore, the conventional holder has an advantage that the lateral displacement in the holding groove of the pipe can be prevented by the contact between the projecting portion and the recessed portion on both sides of the pipe. Therefore, when an external force in the vertical direction is applied to the pipe, the pipe easily shifts and the holding state of the pipe becomes unstable, and there is a risk of inadvertent rattling. In particular, when a plurality of concave holding grooves are formed for each holding piece, the entire length of the holding piece naturally increases, and the distance between the pipe holding portion and the locking means increases. For this reason, when an external force in the vertical direction is applied to the pipe, the possibility of causing a middle opening increases.

  The present invention was developed in order to effectively solve the problems of the conventional holding tool. The invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that the first holding piece and the second holding piece connected via the thin-walled hinge portion. A plurality of holding grooves for holding the filaments on the inner surface of each holding piece facing each other, and can be locked to each other on the free end side of each holding piece. In the holder for the linear body provided with the locking means, a partition wall is individually provided between the holding grooves of each holding piece, and the partition wall facing the first holding piece and the second holding piece is opposed to each other. It is characterized in that a latching portion is provided on.

  As for invention of Claim 2, on the premise of Claim 1, each partition wall provided in a 1st holding piece and a 2nd holding piece is a projection part and a hollow part which are alternated along the axial direction of a filament. And when the first holding piece and the second holding piece are overlapped, the protruding portion and the recessed portion face each other.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, on the premise of the first and second aspects, the locking portion is configured to be elastically locked, and when the locking portion is elastically locked, the opposing partition wall It is characterized in that there is a gap between them that allows further approach.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, on the premise of the first to third aspects, each partition wall provided on the first holding piece and the second holding piece is constituted by a frame-shaped outer shell having an internal space. Features.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, on the premise of the fourth aspect, the locking portion is provided at the top of the frame-shaped outer wall of the partition wall.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, on the premise of the first to fifth aspects, the locking portion has an elastic claw shape provided on each of the facing partition walls of the first gripping piece and the second gripping piece. It is characterized by.

  Therefore, in the first aspect of the present invention, when the linear body is held in the holding grooves of the first holding piece and the second holding piece, between the partition walls at the adjacent position of the linear body. Therefore, even if an external force in the vertical direction is applied to the striated body, the striated body easily deviates and its holding state becomes unstable, resulting in insufficiency. There is no fear of rattling in preparation.

  In the invention of claim 2, when the first holding piece and the second holding piece are overlapped, the protruding portion and the recessed portion of each partition wall facing the first holding piece and the second holding piece, Therefore, it is possible to prevent the separation of the locking portions from each other by effectively preventing the partition wall from being displaced in the axial direction.

  In invention of Claim 3, when the 1st holding piece and the 2nd holding piece are piled up, although the latching | locking part latches, both approach further between the opposing partition walls. When the first holding piece and the second holding piece are further pressed due to the possible gap, the mutual locking portions are separated by this gap, so that the mutual locking portions do not contact each other. It can be elastically restored freely and can be sufficiently engaged with the other party. If this gap is not present, the locking part will have contact resistance due to contact with the other party when locking is completed, which will hinder elastic recovery and allow a sufficient amount of locking. There is a risk that it will not be able to be obtained and will come off.

  In the invention according to claim 4, since each partition wall is composed of a frame-shaped outer shell having an internal space, when the filament is vibrated, the partition wall itself is elastically deformed. Absorbs the load caused by vibration. Therefore, the linear member is prevented from being deformed, the partition wall is not damaged, and is elastically restored thereafter, so that there is no hindrance and the holder itself can be used continuously.

  In the invention of claim 5, since the locking portion is provided at the top of the frame-shaped outer shell that is most easily bent, even when the linear member is forcibly displaced by a predetermined amount, it absorbs the displacement. The breakage of the locking portion can be effectively prevented.

  In the invention described in claim 6, since the locking portion has an elastic claw shape having a predetermined length, the elastic claw-shaped locking portion obtains a large elastic deflection over a predetermined length. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently follow the forced displacement and vibration of the wire body, and to prevent rattling and breakage more reliably.

  The present invention comprises a first holding piece and a second holding piece connected via a thin hinge portion, and a plurality of holding grooves for holding a linear body on the inner surface of each holding piece facing each other at a constant interval. And a partition wall between the holding grooves of each holding piece, on the premise of a holder for a linear body that is provided with locking means that can be locked to each other on the free end side of each holding piece. In particular, by providing a locking portion between the opposing partition walls of the first holding piece and the second holding piece, the holding force in the vertical direction is particularly improved.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail on the basis of a preferred embodiment shown in the drawings. The holder according to the embodiment is also an integrally molded product of a synthetic resin, as in the prior art, as shown in FIG. The first holding piece 1 and the second holding piece 2 connected through 3 are formed, and a plurality of holding grooves 4 having a concave shape are formed at regular intervals on the opposing inner surfaces of the holding pieces 1 and 2. However, the feature is that the following configuration is adopted.

  That is, in this embodiment, the partition walls 5 having a mountain shape are individually provided between the holding grooves 4 of the first holding piece 1 and the second holding piece 2. 2 and 3, the partition wall 5 is composed of a tall projection 5A and a short recess 5B that are staggered along the axial direction of the linear body, and each projection As shown in the figure, the 5A and the recessed portion 5B are constituted by a frame-shaped outer shell having a hollow space, and when the first holding piece 1 and the second holding piece 2 are overlapped via the thin hinge portion 3, The protrusions 5A and the recesses 5B on the holding piece 1 side and the second holding piece 2 side are configured to face each other in a staggered state while generating a slight gap.

  In addition to this, the elastic locking portions 6 having elastic claw shapes that can be locked to each other are opposed to the inner edges of the tops of the frame-shaped outer shells of the partition walls 5A. The elastic locking portions 6 are provided with a taper shape that protrudes in the axial direction toward the lower side, and when locking, first, the opposing protruding portions 5A are first formed. It is formed so as to be separated in the axial direction. Therefore, when the first holding piece 1 and the second holding piece 2 are overlapped with each other via the thin hinge portion 3, the elastic locking portions 6 that are opposed to each other are elastic while once separating the protruding portions 5A. The first holding piece 1 and the second holding piece 2 having a relatively long overall length are effectively prevented from being opened.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a lock claw 7 and a receiving claw 8 which can be locked to each other as a locking means are provided on the free end sides of the first holding piece 1 and the second holding piece 2 and are thin-walled. A similar locking claw 9 and receiving claw 10 that can be locked to each other are also provided on the base end side connected by the hinge portion 3. Therefore, when the first holding piece 1 and the second holding piece 2 are overlapped with each other via the thin hinge portion 3, the locking claws 7 and 9 and the receiving claws 8 and 10 are formed on the free end side and the base end side. Since they are locked, the first holding piece 1 and the second holding piece 2 are effectively prevented from coming off.

  Further, a hook-like locking leg 11 and an umbrella-like flange portion 12 which are engaged with a mounting hole drilled in a panel which will be described later are provided on the lower surface of the first gripping piece 1 so that the holder itself is linearly provided. It can be fixed to the panel while holding the body. In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes an elastic blade that elastically contacts the outer peripheral surface of the filament.

  Therefore, when holding the pipe P, which is a striated body, and fixing it to a predetermined position of the panel using such a holder, first, the first holding piece 1 is inserted through the thin-walled hinge portion 3. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the pipes P having different diameters are placed in the holding grooves 4 having the concave shape of the first holding piece 1. When the two holding pieces 2 are overlapped on the first holding piece 1 side via the thin hinge portion 3, the partition wall 5 on the first holding piece 1 side and the partition wall 5 on the second holding piece 2 side that face each other. The protrusions 5A and the depressions 5B face each other alternately as they gradually approach each other.

  When the protrusions 5A and the recesses 5B completely face each other with a certain gap S, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the inner edge of the top of the frame-shaped outer shell is located at each adjacent position of the pipe P. The elastic locking portions 6 provided on the elastic locking portions 6 are elastically locked to each other, but are sequentially locked from the thin hinge portion 3 side. At the same time, the locking claws 7 and 9 are engaged with the corresponding receiving claws 8 and 10 on the free end side and the base end side of the first holding piece 1 and the second holding piece 2. Of course, the first holding piece 1 and the second holding piece 2 are locked on both sides as well as the intermediate portion.

  Therefore, finally, although not specifically shown, if the locking leg 11 provided on the lower surface of the first holding piece 1 is engaged with the mounting hole of the panel in cooperation with the flange portion 12, Thus, the pipes P having different diameters are securely fixed at predetermined positions of the panel while being held by the holder.

  In such a state, the projections 5A and the depressions 5B face each other along the axial direction of the pipe P for each opposing partition wall 5, so that the partition wall 5 itself is an axis. It will not be displaced in the direction, and the locking state of the elastic locking portions 6 will not be easily released. Therefore, even if an external force in the vertical direction is applied to the pipe P in this state, the pipe P held in the intermediate portion easily shifts, and the holding state becomes unstable, causing inadvertent rattling. There is no fear.

  Moreover, when the protrusion 5A and the recess 5B are completely facing each other, the elastic locking portions 6 are locked, but there is a gap S between the protrusion 5A and the recess 5B facing each other alternately. Therefore, when the first holding piece 1 and the second holding piece 2 are further pressed using the gap S, the elastic locking portions 6 are separated from each other by the gap S. The stoppers 6 can be elastically restored without contact with each other, and can be sufficiently locked with the other party.

  That is, in the present embodiment, since the gap S is formed between the projecting portions 5A and the recessed portions 5B that face each other alternately, the first gripping pieces 1 and 2 are overlapped with each other. When the partition wall 5 on the side of the piece 1 and the partition wall 5 on the side of the second holding piece 2 are brought closer to each other, the elastic locking portion 6 provided between the partition walls 5 comes into contact with the other elastic locking portion 6. Then, the contact is further strengthened, the elastic locking portions 6 are bent, and eventually, the elastic locking portions 6 are restored to elasticity to complete the locking, but the ends of the elastic locking portions 6 are in contact with each other. In this state, contact resistance is generated and the elastic recovery cannot be sufficiently achieved. Then, if the 1st clamping piece 1 and the 2nd clamping piece 2 are made to approach further by the said space | gap S, the front-end | tip will mutually separate the elastic latching | locking part 6. FIG. At the moment when the tips are separated from each other, the contact resistance between them becomes zero, and the elastic locking portion 6 is elastically restored by the plate-like elasticity of the elastic locking portion 6 or the elastic force due to the whole being made of synthetic resin. In addition, a sufficient amount of mutual engagement can be obtained.

  Since each partition wall 5 is composed of a frame-shaped outer shell having an internal space, when the linear body vibrates, the partition wall 5 itself is elastically deformed to absorb the load caused by the vibration. . Therefore, the pipe P is prevented from being deformed, and the partition wall 5 is not damaged and is elastically restored thereafter, so that there is no problem and the holder itself can be used continuously.

  In addition, since the elastic locking portion 6 has an elastic claw shape, the elastic claw-shaped locking portion 6 obtains a large elastic deflection over a predetermined length, which is sufficient for forced displacement and vibration of the pipe P. It is possible to follow up and prevent rattling and breakage more reliably.

  The wire rod holder according to the present invention is surely held without shifting the wire rod held in the intermediate portion even when an external force in the vertical direction is applied to the wire rod. If it is applied to pipes, rods, wire harnesses, etc. used in the interior, it will be very convenient.
