以下、本発明の実施形態を図１〜図１０によって説明する。本実施形態におけるプロテクタ１０は、組み付けられると筒状をなす一対の半割部材（第一半割部材２０および第二半割部材４０）からなり、図示しない電線の束の分岐部分に装着された幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａおよび支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂを間に挟んで、この分岐部分に取り付けられるようになっている。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The protector 10 in the present embodiment is composed of a pair of half members (first half member 20 and second half member 40) that form a cylindrical shape when assembled, and is attached to a branch portion of a bundle of electric wires (not shown). The main corrugated tube 80A and the branch corrugated tube 80B are sandwiched between the main corrugated tube 80A and the branch corrugated tube 80B.

幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａおよび支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂは、いずれも蛇腹状の円筒形状をなし、電線の束を一括して包囲するものである。なお、本実施形態においては、支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂは、幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａよりも径寸法の小さいものが使用されている。   Both the corrugated tube for trunk line 80A and the corrugated tube for branch line 80B have a bellows-like cylindrical shape and collectively enclose a bundle of electric wires. In the present embodiment, a branch corrugated tube 80B having a smaller diameter than the main corrugated tube 80A is used.

プロテクタ１０は合成樹脂からなり、図２に示すように、電線の束の幹線に被さって幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａに取り付けられる幹線部１１と、電線の束から分岐した支線に被さって支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂに取り付けられる支線部１２とが一体に形成されてなるものである。プロテクタ１０は、幹線部１１に対して支線部１２が略直角方向に分岐した形態の略Ｔ字形とされ、幹線部１１側から支線部１２側へ電線を挿通可能に連設されている。   The protector 10 is made of a synthetic resin, and as shown in FIG. 2, the trunk portion 11 is attached to the trunk corrugated tube 80A by covering the trunk of the bundle of wires, and the branch corrugated tube is covered by the branch branched from the bundle of wires. The branch line part 12 attached to 80B is integrally formed. The protector 10 has a substantially T-shape in which a branch line portion 12 is branched in a substantially right angle direction with respect to the main line portion 11, and is continuously provided so that an electric wire can be inserted from the main line portion 11 side to the branch line portion 12 side.

幹線部１１および支線部１２は、幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａおよび支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂに外嵌可能な円筒状をなしている。詳しくは、幹線部１１の内径寸法は、幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａの外径寸法にほぼ等しい寸法を備え、支線部１２の内径寸法は、支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂの外径寸法に対して一回り大きい、若干余裕のある寸法を備えている。   The trunk line part 11 and the branch line part 12 have a cylindrical shape that can be externally fitted to the trunk line corrugated tube 80A and the branch line corrugated tube 80B. Specifically, the inner diameter dimension of the trunk line portion 11 is substantially equal to the outer diameter dimension of the main corrugated tube 80A, and the inner diameter dimension of the branch line portion 12 is slightly larger than the outer diameter dimension of the branch corrugated tube 80B. , Has dimensions with some margin.

幹線部１１における軸方向両端部は、幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａに係合する幹線用チューブ係合部１３とされ、また支線部１２の軸方向両端部のうち幹線部１１に連設されている側とは反対側の端部は、支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂに係合する支線用チューブ係合部１４とされている。   Both ends in the axial direction of the main line portion 11 serve as a main line tube engaging portion 13 that engages with the corrugated tube 80A for main line, and the side that is connected to the main line portion 11 among both end portions in the axial direction of the branch line portion 12 The opposite end is a branch tube engaging portion 14 that engages the branch corrugated tube 80B.

幹線用チューブ係合部１３および支線用チューブ係合部１４は、幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａおよび支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂに対して、その軸方向の一端側をプロテクタ１０の外側に突出させるようにして係合する（図１参照）。これにより、電線の幹線および支線のうちプロテクタ１０の端縁に対応する部分はそれぞれ幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａまたは支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂで覆われた状態になり、電線がプロテクタ１０の端縁に接触して損傷等することが防止される。   The main line tube engaging portion 13 and the branch line tube engaging portion 14 are engaged with the main line corrugated tube 80A and the branch line corrugated tube 80B so that one end side in the axial direction protrudes to the outside of the protector 10. (See FIG. 1). Thereby, the part corresponding to the edge of the protector 10 among the trunk line and branch line of the electric wire is covered with the corrugated tube 80A for trunk line or the corrugated tube 80B for branch line, and the electric wire comes into contact with the edge of the protector 10.

第一半割部材２０のうち第一幹線部２０Ａと第一支線部２０Ｂとの間の両角部には、電線はみ出し防止部２１がそれぞれ立ち上げられている。各電線はみ出し防止部２１は、第一半割部材２０の周壁（以後、第一周壁２２と称する）のうち第二半割部材４０との当接縁（以後、第一当接縁２３と称する）から、第二半割部材４０との組み付け方向へ突出している。   Electric wire protrusion prevention portions 21 are raised at both corners between the first trunk portion 20A and the first branch portion 20B in the first half member 20, respectively. Each electric wire protrusion prevention part 21 is a contact edge (henceforth the 1st contact edge 23) with the 2nd half member 40 among the surrounding walls (henceforth the 1st surrounding wall 22) of the first half member 20. Projecting in the direction of assembly with the second half member 40.

第一半割部材２０のうち幹線用チューブ係合部１３を構成する第一幹線用チューブ係合部２４Ａ、および支線用チューブ係合部１４を構成する第一支線用チューブ係合部２４Ｂには、幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａおよび支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂの両側に配される幹線用第一リブ２６Ａおよび支線用第一リブ２６Ｂが一対ずつ設けられている。幹線用第一リブ２６Ａと支線用第一リブ２６Ｂとはほぼ同形状をなし、支線用第一リブ２６Ｂは幹線用第一リブ２６Ａよりも一回り小さい大きさとされている。   Of the first half member 20, the first main tube engaging portion 24 </ b> A constituting the main tube engaging portion 13 and the first branch tube engaging portion 24 </ b> B constituting the main tube engaging portion 14 are provided. A pair of first trunk ribs 26A and first branch ribs 26B are provided on both sides of the main corrugated tube 80A and the branch corrugated tube 80B. The first rib for main line 26A and the first rib for branch line 26B have substantially the same shape, and the first rib for branch line 26B has a size slightly smaller than the first rib for main line 26A.

第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂは、それぞれコルゲートチューブの溝部８１Ａ，８１Ｂに差し込み可能な形状をなして第一周壁２２から内側および上側に突出する板状をなしている。各第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの板面は、それぞれ電線の挿通方向（幹線部１１および支線部１２の軸線方向）に対して略直角方向をなしている。   The first ribs 26A and 26B have plate shapes protruding inwardly and upwardly from the first peripheral wall 22 in a shape that can be inserted into the grooves 81A and 81B of the corrugated tube, respectively. The plate surfaces of the first ribs 26A and 26B are substantially perpendicular to the insertion direction of the electric wires (the axial direction of the trunk portion 11 and the branch portion 12).

幹線用第一リブ２６Ａおよび支線用第一リブ２６Ｂは、いずれも第一当接縁２３よりも第二半割部材４０との組み付け方向に突出する高さ寸法を備え、その立ち上がり端部２７Ａ，２７Ｂは、各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂの溝部８１Ａ，８１Ｂに沿って互いに近付く向きに屈曲した形状とされている。一対の第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂのうち互いに向き合う側の端縁である対向縁２８Ａ，２８Ｂは、下端（第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの根元端）からその立ち上がり方向ほぼ中央位置までは直線状をなし、それよりも上側の部分は互いに近付く向きの弧状をなしている（図５参照）。なお、コルゲートチューブが保持されていない状態では、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの対向縁２８Ａ，２８Ｂの直線部分同士は、それぞれ略平行に配される。   Both the first rib for main line 26A and the first rib for branch line 26B have a height dimension that protrudes in the assembling direction with the second half member 40 from the first abutting edge 23, and the rising ends 27A, 27B has a shape bent along the groove portions 81A and 81B of the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B so as to approach each other. The opposing edges 28A and 28B, which are the edges facing each other, of the pair of first ribs 26A and 26B are linear from the lower end (the root ends of the first ribs 26A and 26B) to the center in the rising direction. The upper part is arcuate so as to approach each other (see FIG. 5). In addition, in the state where the corrugated tube is not held, the straight portions of the opposing edges 28A and 28B of the first ribs 26A and 26B are arranged substantially parallel to each other.

一対の立ち上がり端部２７Ａ，２７Ｂのうち、互いに対向する部分の上側部分は上方から下方へ向かって互いに接近方向に傾斜する誘導テーパ部３１Ａ，３１Ｂとされている。そして、誘導テーパ部３１Ａ，３１Ｂよりも下側の部分は、各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂを未装着の状態で、互いに略平行をなす挿通部３２Ａ，３２Ｂとされている。   Of the pair of rising end portions 27A and 27B, the upper portions of the portions facing each other are guided taper portions 31A and 31B that are inclined in the approaching direction from above to below. The portions below the guide taper portions 31A and 31B are insertion portions 32A and 32B that are substantially parallel to each other when the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B are not attached.

なお、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂのうち対向縁２８Ａ，２８Ｂに沿う対向縁部２９Ａ，２９Ｂは、コルゲートチューブの溝部８１Ａ，８１Ｂの形状にあわせて、対向縁２８Ａ，２８Ｂに向かって少しずつ板厚寸法が小さくなる形状とされている。   In addition, the opposing edge portions 29A and 29B along the opposing edges 28A and 28B of the first ribs 26A and 26B are gradually increased in thickness toward the opposing edges 28A and 28B according to the shape of the groove portions 81A and 81B of the corrugated tube. The shape is reduced in size.

第一半割部材２０の第一周壁２２のうち第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの両側には、切欠部３３Ａ，３３Ｂが一対ずつ形成されている。各切欠部３３Ａ，３３Ｂは、第一当接縁２３から周方向に細長く切り欠かれた形状をなし、第一周壁２２のうち一対の切欠部３３Ａ，３３Ｂに挟まれた部分は、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂと一体に形成された一体壁３４Ａ，３４Ｂとされている。   A pair of notches 33A and 33B are formed on both sides of the first ribs 26A and 26B in the first peripheral wall 22 of the first half member 20. Each notch 33A, 33B has a shape that is elongated from the first abutting edge 23 in the circumferential direction, and the portion of the first peripheral wall 22 sandwiched between the pair of notches 33A, 33B is the first The walls 26A and 34B are formed integrally with the ribs 26A and 26B.

第一周壁２２のうち各第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの根元の近傍には、貫通口３５Ａ，３５Ｂが設けられている（図４参照）。貫通口３５Ａ，３５Ｂは、周方向に若干長い略両方形状をなして第一周壁２２を内外方向に貫通している。各貫通口３５Ａ，３５Ｂの短手方向寸法は一体壁３４Ａ，３４Ｂの幅寸法よりも若干小さい寸法とされている。また、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの対向縁部２９Ａ，２９Ｂ部は、それぞれ貫通口３５Ａ，３５Ｂに突出している（図３参照）。   Through holes 35A and 35B are provided in the vicinity of the bases of the first ribs 26A and 26B in the first peripheral wall 22 (see FIG. 4). The through holes 35 </ b> A and 35 </ b> B have substantially both shapes that are slightly longer in the circumferential direction and penetrate the first circumferential wall 22 in the inner and outer directions. The dimension in the short side direction of each through hole 35A, 35B is slightly smaller than the width dimension of the integrated walls 34A, 34B. Further, the opposing edge portions 29A and 29B of the first ribs 26A and 26B protrude into the through holes 35A and 35B, respectively (see FIG. 3).

第一周壁２２のうち貫通口３５Ａ，３５Ｂと一体壁３４Ａ，３４Ｂとの間に残された部分は、第一幹線部２０Ａおよび第一支線部２０Ｂの軸方向に長い形状をなしており、その長手方向両端部が第一周壁２２の他の部分と連設された形態の支持軸部３６Ａ，３６Ｂとされている。この支持軸部３６Ａ，３６Ｂは、第一幹線部２０Ａおよび第一支線部２０Ｂの軸方向に沿う方向をそれぞれ軸線として捻り可能とされている。第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂおよび一体壁３４Ａ，３４Ｂは、支持軸部３６Ａ，３６Ｂを介して第一周壁２２の他の部分と連設された形態をなし、支持軸部３６Ａ，３６Ｂの軸線を支点として互いに開閉方向に弾性変位可能とされている。   The portions of the first peripheral wall 22 that are left between the through holes 35A and 35B and the integrated walls 34A and 34B have a long shape in the axial direction of the first trunk line portion 20A and the first branch line portion 20B. Both end portions in the longitudinal direction are support shaft portions 36 </ b> A and 36 </ b> B that are connected to the other portions of the first peripheral wall 22. The support shaft portions 36A and 36B can be twisted with the directions along the axial direction of the first main line portion 20A and the first branch line portion 20B as axes. The first ribs 26A, 26B and the integral walls 34A, 34B are connected to the other parts of the first peripheral wall 22 via the support shaft portions 36A, 36B, and the axes of the support shaft portions 36A, 36B are arranged. As fulcrums, they can be elastically displaced in the opening and closing directions.

Further, the width direction of each of the second ribs 47A and 47B is gradually reduced toward the projecting end so as to follow the inclination of the side surfaces of the groove portions 81A and 81B of the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B. The inner edges (protruding end edges) of the second ribs 47A and 47B have an arc shape along the groove portions 81A and 81B of the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B.

各弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂのうち各第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂの間には、開口部４９Ａ，４９Ｂが開口されている。各開口部４９Ａ，４９Ｂは、第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂの長手方向に若干長い略長方形状をなし、隣り合う第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂのうち傾斜部４８Ａ，４８Ｂを除く部分の間の部分にわたって形成されている。このような開口部４９Ａ，４９Ｂを形成することによって弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂのうち第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂが設けられている部分の剛性が高くなり過ぎないようにされ、弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂをコルゲートチューブの外形に沿いやすくすることができる。   Openings 49A and 49B are opened between the second ribs 47A and 47B of the elastic portions 45A and 45B. Each of the openings 49A and 49B has a substantially rectangular shape that is slightly longer in the longitudinal direction of the second ribs 47A and 47B, and is formed across a portion between the adjacent second ribs 47A and 47B excluding the inclined portions 48A and 48B. Has been. By forming such openings 49A and 49B, the portions of the elastic portions 45A and 45B where the second ribs 47A and 47B are provided are prevented from becoming too rigid, and the elastic portions 45A and 45B are corrugated. It can be made easier to follow the outer shape of the tube.

また、弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂのうち隣り合う第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂの間には、コルゲートチューブの突部８２Ａ，８２Ｂの外周に沿う傾斜面５１Ａ，５１Ｂが形成されている（図３参照）。傾斜面５１Ａ，５１Ｂは、各開口部４９Ａ，４９Ｂの周縁部のうち開口部４９Ａ，４９Ｂの長手方向両縁部、言い換えると、第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂのうち傾斜部４８Ａ，４８Ｂに隣接する部分に形成され、第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂの長手方向両端位置と並ぶ位置から開口部４９Ａ，４９Ｂの口縁まで外向きに傾斜している。   Further, between the adjacent second ribs 47A and 47B of the elastic portions 45A and 45B, inclined surfaces 51A and 51B are formed along the outer periphery of the protrusions 82A and 82B of the corrugated tube (see FIG. 3). The inclined surfaces 51A and 51B are the portions adjacent to the inclined portions 48A and 48B of the second ribs 47A and 47B, in other words, the longitudinal edges of the openings 49A and 49B in the peripheral portions of the openings 49A and 49B. The second ribs 47A and 47B are inclined outwardly from the positions aligned with both longitudinal positions of the second ribs 47A and 47B to the edges of the openings 49A and 49B.

第二半割部材４０のうち第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂと対応する位置には、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの内外方向の変位を許容する開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂが形成されている。各開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂは、弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂの長手方向両端部のうち、その短手方向ほぼ中央位置（一対のスリット４６Ａ，４６Ｂ間の中央位置）に形成されている。   Opening windows 52A and 52B that allow displacement in the inner and outer directions of the first ribs 26A and 26B are formed at positions corresponding to the first ribs 26A and 26B in the second half member 40. Each of the opening windows 52A and 52B is formed at approximately the center position in the short-side direction (the center position between the pair of slits 46A and 46B) among the longitudinal ends of the elastic portions 45A and 45B.

開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂは、第二当接縁４３から弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂの長さ方向（第二幹線部４０Ａまたは第二支線部４０Ｂの周方向）に細長く切り欠かれた形態をなし、それぞれ第一半割部材２０との組み付け方向に開放されている。開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂの短手方向寸法は、それぞれ対応する第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの板厚寸法よりも若干大きい寸法とされている。そして、両半割部材２０，４０が組み付けられた状態では、各第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂは各開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂに差し込まれて、第二周壁４２を内外方向に貫通することが許容された状態になる。なお、弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂに開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂを形成することにより、その部分の剛性を低下させ、弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂを弾性変位しやすくしている。   The opening windows 52A and 52B have a shape that is elongated from the second abutment edge 43 in the length direction of the elastic portions 45A and 45B (the circumferential direction of the second trunk portion 40A or the second branch portion 40B), respectively. It is opened in the direction of assembly with the first half member 20. The short-side dimension of the opening windows 52A and 52B is slightly larger than the plate thickness dimension of the corresponding first ribs 26A and 26B. Then, in a state where both the half members 20 and 40 are assembled, the first ribs 26A and 26B are inserted into the opening windows 52A and 52B, and are allowed to penetrate the second peripheral wall 42 in the inner and outer directions. It becomes a state. In addition, by forming the opening windows 52A and 52B in the elastic portions 45A and 45B, the rigidity of the portions is lowered, and the elastic portions 45A and 45B are easily elastically displaced.

弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂに設けられた第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂは、弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂが弾性変位可能な範囲で径の異なるコルゲートチューブの溝部８１Ａ，８１Ｂに差し込み可能となっている。すなわち、最小径のコルゲートチューブに対しては、弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂが弾性変位することなく第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂがコルゲートチューブの溝部に差し込まれ、最大径のコルゲートチューブに対しては、弾性部４５Ａ，４５Ｂが外側に弾性変位して第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂが溝部に差し込まれた状態になる。   The second ribs 47A and 47B provided on the elastic portions 45A and 45B can be inserted into the groove portions 81A and 81B of the corrugated tube having different diameters within a range in which the elastic portions 45A and 45B can be elastically displaced. That is, for the corrugated tube with the smallest diameter, the second ribs 47A and 47B are inserted into the groove portion of the corrugated tube without elastically displacing the elastic portions 45A and 45B. 45A and 45B are elastically displaced outward and the second ribs 47A and 47B are inserted into the groove portions.

本実施形態においては、支線用第二リブ４７Ｂは、弾性部４５Ｂが弾性変形しない自然状態で支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂの溝部８１Ｂに係合し、幹線用第二リブ４７Ａは、弾性部４５Ａが外側に弾性変位した状態で幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａの溝部８１Ａに係合する。   In the present embodiment, the second branch rib 47B engages with the groove 81B of the branch corrugated tube 80B in a natural state in which the elastic portion 45B does not elastically deform, and the second main rib 47A has the elastic portion 45A on the outer side. In the state of being elastically displaced, it engages with the groove 81A of the trunk corrugated tube 80A.

第二半割部材４０のうち各開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂに対応する位置には、変位規制部５３Ａ，５３Ｂがそれぞれ設けられている。変位規制部５３Ａ，５３Ｂは各開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂの第二当接縁４３側の端部に設けられ、第二周壁４２のうち開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂの両側位置から外側へ突出して、開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂに架け渡された形状をなしている。   Displacement restricting portions 53A and 53B are provided at positions corresponding to the respective opening windows 52A and 52B in the second half member 40. Displacement restricting portions 53A and 53B are provided at the end portions of the respective opening windows 52A and 52B on the second contact edge 43 side, and project outward from both side positions of the opening windows 52A and 52B in the second peripheral wall 42. The shape spans 52A and 52B.

各変位規制部５３Ａ，５３Ｂの内周面は、開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂの周面と面一に形成されている。これにより、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂが、開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂを貫通して変位規制部５３Ａ，５３Ｂの内側に差し込まれた状態では、コルゲートチューブが引っ張られる等によって第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂに対して板厚方向（コルゲートチューブの軸方向）の力が作用すると、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂは開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂの周面と変位規制部５３Ａ，５３Ｂの内周面とに面当たりして支持され、その軸方向への位置ずれを確実に防止できる。   The inner peripheral surfaces of the displacement restricting portions 53A and 53B are formed flush with the peripheral surfaces of the opening windows 52A and 52B. As a result, in a state where the first ribs 26A and 26B pass through the opening windows 52A and 52B and are inserted inside the displacement restricting portions 53A and 53B, the corrugated tube is pulled, and the first ribs 26A and 26B When the force in the plate thickness direction (axial direction of the corrugated tube) acts, the first ribs 26A and 26B come into contact with and support the peripheral surfaces of the opening windows 52A and 52B and the inner peripheral surfaces of the displacement restricting portions 53A and 53B. Thus, the positional deviation in the axial direction can be reliably prevented.

また、各変位規制部５３Ａ，５３Ｂの内周面のうち開口窓５２Ａ，５２Ｂと対向する面には、第一半割部材２０との組み付け方向へ向かって外側へ傾く傾斜をなす逃がし面５４Ａ，５４Ｂが形成されている。   In addition, on the inner peripheral surfaces of the displacement regulating portions 53A and 53B, the surfaces facing the opening windows 52A and 52B are relief surfaces 54A that are inclined outwardly in the direction of assembly with the first half member 20. 54B is formed.

そして、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂは、所定量（最大径のコルゲートチューブに取り付けられる際に第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂが弾性変形する最大量）だけ拡開変形すると変位規制部５３Ａ，５３Ｂに当接し、それ以上外側への変位を規制される。これにより、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂが過度に拡開変形してコルゲートチューブとの係合が外れてしまったり、また破損してしまったりすることを防止できる。そして、径の大きなコルゲートチューブと第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂとの係合を確実に保持することができる。   When the first ribs 26A and 26B are expanded and deformed by a predetermined amount (the maximum amount by which the first ribs 26A and 26B are elastically deformed when attached to the corrugated tube having the maximum diameter), the first ribs 26A and 26B come into contact with the displacement regulating portions 53A and 53B. , Further outward displacement is regulated. As a result, it is possible to prevent the first ribs 26A and 26B from being excessively expanded and deformed and disengaged from the corrugated tube or from being damaged. And engagement with a corrugated tube with a large diameter and 1st rib 26A, 26B can be hold | maintained reliably.

第二半割部材４０のうち第二幹線用チューブ係合部４４Ａと第二支線用チューブ係合部４４Ｂとには、第一半割部材２０のロック突部３７Ａ，３７Ｂに係合して、両半割部材２０，４０を組み付け状態に保持するロック片５５Ａ，５５Ｂが設けられている。各ロック片５５Ａ，５５Ｂは、第二周壁４２の外周面から第一半割部材２０との組み付け方向に片持ち状に延出した形状をなしている。各ロック片５５Ａ，５５Ｂは、変位規制部５３Ａ，５３Ｂと隣接して形成されるとともに、第一幹線部２０Ａまたは第一支線部２０Ｂの端面と面一に形成されている。   Of the second half member 40, the second main tube engaging portion 44A and the second branch tube engaging portion 44B are engaged with the lock projections 37A and 37B of the first half member 20, Lock pieces 55A and 55B are provided to hold both the half members 20 and 40 in the assembled state. Each lock piece 55 </ b> A, 55 </ b> B has a shape that cantilevered from the outer peripheral surface of the second peripheral wall 42 in the direction of assembly with the first half member 20. Each lock piece 55A, 55B is formed adjacent to the displacement regulating portions 53A, 53B, and is formed flush with the end surface of the first trunk portion 20A or the first branch portion 20B.

第一半割部材２０と第二半割部材４０とは、ヒンジ部６０を介して連結されている。ヒンジ部６０は、両半割部材２０，４０の第一幹線部２０Ａと第二幹線部４０Ａとの間に設けられ、両幹線部２０Ａ，４０Ａの軸方向に沿って長い平板状をなしている。ヒンジ部６０の短手方向中央部分は、他の部分よりも肉薄とされた屈曲部６１とされ、この屈曲部６１が屈曲することで、両半割部材２０，４０は閉じた状態と開いた状態との間で回動する（図５参照）。   The first half member 20 and the second half member 40 are connected via a hinge portion 60. The hinge portion 60 is provided between the first trunk portion 20A and the second trunk portion 40A of the halved members 20 and 40, and has a long flat plate shape along the axial direction of both the trunk portions 20A and 40A. . The central portion in the short direction of the hinge portion 60 is a bent portion 61 that is thinner than the other portions, and the bent portion 61 is bent, so that both the half members 20 and 40 are closed and opened. It rotates between the states (see FIG. 5).

第一幹線部２０Ａと第二幹線部４０Ａとのうちヒンジ部６０の両側位置には、弾性連結片６２が連結されている。弾性連結片６２は、ヒンジ部６０の短手方向に長い略長方形の板状をなし、第一周壁２２および第二周壁４２のうち第一当接縁２３および第二当接縁４３よりも所定寸法ずつ周方向にずれた位置同士を連結する形態とされている。   Elastic connecting pieces 62 are connected to both side positions of the hinge part 60 in the first main line part 20A and the second main line part 40A. The elastic connecting piece 62 has a substantially rectangular plate shape that is long in the short direction of the hinge portion 60, and is more than the first contact edge 23 and the second contact edge 43 of the first peripheral wall 22 and the second peripheral wall 42. The positions shifted in the circumferential direction by a predetermined dimension are connected to each other.

第一半割部材２０と第二半割部材４０とを閉じる際には、両弾性連結片６２が屈曲部６１よりも内側位置に配された状態となり、弾性連結片６２に生じる収縮力によって第一半割部材２０と第二半割部材４０とが閉じ方向に付勢される。そして、第一半割部材２０と第二半割部材４０とを開く際には、ヒンジ部６０の屈曲部６１が開いていき、両弾性連結片６２が屈曲部６１よりも外側位置に配された状態となり、弾性連結片６２に生じる収縮力によって第一半割部材２０と第二半割部材４０とが開き方向に付勢される。   When the first half member 20 and the second half member 40 are closed, the two elastic connecting pieces 62 are arranged at the inner side of the bent portion 61, and the first half member 20 and the second half member 40 are closed by the contraction force generated in the elastic connecting piece 62. The half member 20 and the second half member 40 are biased in the closing direction. When the first half member 20 and the second half member 40 are opened, the bent portion 61 of the hinge portion 60 is opened, and both elastic connecting pieces 62 are arranged at positions outside the bent portion 61. The first half member 20 and the second half member 40 are biased in the opening direction by the contraction force generated in the elastic connecting piece 62.

なお、第一半割部材２０および第二半割部材４０には、プロテクタ１０を被固定物（図示せず）に固定するためのクランプ７０を取り付け可能なクランプ７０取付部が設けられている。クランプ７０は、プロテクタ１０とは別体のものである。   The first half member 20 and the second half member 40 are provided with a clamp 70 mounting portion to which a clamp 70 for fixing the protector 10 to a fixed object (not shown) can be attached. The clamp 70 is a separate body from the protector 10.

次に、前述のプロテクタ１０を電線の分岐部分に取り付ける作業について説明する。
まず、電線の分岐部分にそれぞれ幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａおよび支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂを嵌め付けた後、両半割部材２０，４０を約１８０度開いた状態にする。このとき、弾性連結片６２により両半割部材２０，４０は開いた状態に保持されるから、この開き状態を保持するために手を宛てたまま作業を行う必要はない。 Next, an operation for attaching the protector 10 to the branch portion of the electric wire will be described.
First, after fitting the corrugated tube for main line 80A and the corrugated tube for branch line 80B to the branch part of the electric wire, both the half members 20, 40 are opened at about 180 degrees. At this time, since both the half members 20 and 40 are held open by the elastic connecting piece 62, it is not necessary to carry out the work with the hand held in order to hold this open state.

そして、各幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａおよび支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂの所定部分をプロテクタ１０の内部に配するようにして、第一幹線用チューブ係合部２４Ａおよび第一支線用チューブ係合部２４Ｂを各幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａおよび支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂに対して位置合わせしつつ、プロテクタ１０を電線の分岐部分に近付ける。各第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの誘導テーパ部３１Ａ，３１Ｂを各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂの溝部８１Ａ，８１Ｂの位置に合わせて押し付けると、誘導テーパ部３１Ａ，３１Ｂがそれぞれ溝部８１Ａ，８１Ｂに沿って配され、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの位置が各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂに対して位置ずれすることなく保持される。   And the predetermined part of each corrugated tube 80A for branch lines and the corrugated tube 80B for branch lines is arranged in the inside of the protector 10, and the tube engaging part 24A for first trunk lines and the first tube engaging part 24B for branch lines are respectively The protector 10 is brought close to the branching portion of the electric wire while being aligned with respect to the corrugated tube for main line 80A and the corrugated tube for branch line 80B. When the guide taper portions 31A and 31B of the first ribs 26A and 26B are pressed in accordance with the positions of the groove portions 81A and 81B of the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B, the guide taper portions 31A and 31B are arranged along the groove portions 81A and 81B, respectively. Thus, the positions of the first ribs 26A and 26B are held without being displaced with respect to the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B.

その状態から、第一半割部材２０を電線の分岐部に押し付けると、各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂが間に押し込まれるのに伴って各第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂは支持軸部３６Ａ，３６Ｂの軸線を中心に互いに開き方向に弾性変形する。さらに第一半割部材２０を押し付けると、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの挿通部３２Ａ，３２Ｂがコルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂの中央位置（第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの差し込み方向においてコルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂの幅寸法が最大値となる位置）まで乗り上がった後、この位置を乗り越える。   From this state, when the first half member 20 is pressed against the branch portion of the electric wire, each of the first ribs 26A, 26B is moved along the axis of the support shafts 36A, 36B as the corrugated tubes 80A, 80B are pushed in between. Are elastically deformed in the opening direction with respect to each other. When the first half member 20 is further pressed, the insertion portions 32A and 32B of the first ribs 26A and 26B are located at the center positions of the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B (the widths of the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B in the insertion direction of the first ribs 26A and 26B). After climbing to the position where the dimension is the maximum value, get over this position.

そして、プロテクタ１０は、各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂに対して所定位置（各チューブ係合部２４Ａ，２４Ｂの内周面が各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂの突部８２Ａ，８２Ｂと近接する位置）に至る。すると、支線用第一リブ２６Ｂは、閉じ方向に弾性復帰してその立ち上がり端部２７Ｂがコルゲートチューブ８０Ｂを抱え込んだ状態になる。また、最大量だけ拡開変形していた幹線用第一リブ２６Ａは、若干閉じ方向に弾性復帰して幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａの溝部８１Ａに係合した状態になる（図８参照）。こうして、第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂは、溝部８１Ａ，８１Ｂにそれぞれ嵌合した状態となり、各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂは、各第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂの間に装着されて側方および軸方向の位置ずれが規制され、また立ち上がり端部２７Ａ，２７Ｂによって第一半割部材２０からの浮き上がりが防止された状態になる。   The protector 10 reaches a predetermined position with respect to the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B (a position where the inner peripheral surfaces of the tube engaging portions 24A and 24B are close to the protrusions 82A and 82B of the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B). . Then, the first rib for branch line 26B is elastically restored in the closing direction, and the rising end portion 27B is in a state of holding the corrugated tube 80B. Further, the trunk first rib 26A that has been expanded and deformed by the maximum amount is slightly restored in the closing direction and engaged with the groove 81A of the trunk corrugated tube 80A (see FIG. 8). Thus, the first ribs 26A and 26B are fitted into the groove portions 81A and 81B, respectively, and the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B are mounted between the first ribs 26A and 26B to be positioned in the lateral and axial directions. The deviation is restricted, and the rising end portions 27A and 27B prevent the first half member 20 from being lifted.

なお、本実施形態においては、各第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂを各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂに一度に嵌め込むようにして第一半割部材２０を電線の分岐部分に取り付けたが、幹線用第一リブ２６Ａおよび支線用第一リブ２６Ｂを順番にコルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂに嵌め込むようにして、取り付けてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the first half member 20 is attached to the branch portion of the electric wire so that the first ribs 26A and 26B are fitted into the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B at a time. Further, the first rib 26B for branch line may be attached so as to be fitted into the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B in order.

次に、第二半割部材４０を第一半割部材２０側に閉じていく。このとき、電線のうち幹線から支線に分岐して屈曲する部分は、電線はみ出し防止部２１によって、第一半割部材２０からはみ出さない状態で保持され、また第一半割部材２０は各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂに対して位置ずれなく係合しているから、取り付け作業を効率良く行うことができる。   Next, the second half member 40 is closed to the first half member 20 side. At this time, a portion of the electric wire that is branched and bent from the main line to the branch line is held by the electric wire protrusion preventing portion 21 so as not to protrude from the first half member 20, and each of the first half members 20 corresponds to each corrugate. Since it is engaged with the tubes 80A and 80B without displacement, the attaching operation can be performed efficiently.

第二半割部材４０を第一半割部材２０側に閉じていくと、所定位置まで拡開変形した状態の幹線用第一リブ２６Ａは、対応する第二半割部材４０の開口窓５２Ａに差し込まれていく。ここで、変位規制部５３Ａの内側には逃がし面５４Ａが形成されているから、幹線用第一リブ２６Ａは、その外縁が引っ掛かることなくスムーズに差し込まれる。   When the second half member 40 is closed to the first half member 20 side, the first rib for trunk line 26 </ b> A in a state of being expanded and deformed to a predetermined position is formed on the opening window 52 </ b> A of the corresponding second half member 40. It will be plugged in. Here, since the escape surface 54A is formed inside the displacement restricting portion 53A, the main-line first rib 26A is smoothly inserted without the outer edge thereof being caught.

そして、第二半割部材４０の幹線用第二リブ４７Ａは、幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａの溝部８１Ａに差し込まれ、その内側縁が溝部８１Ａの奥面に当接する。さらに第二半割部材４０を第一半割部材２０側に回動させると、幹線用第二リブ４７Ａと溝部８１Ａとの当接により幹線用弾性部４５Ａが外側へ押圧されて弾性変位する。また、支線用第二リブ４７Ｂは、支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂの溝部８１Ｂに差し込まれていく。   And the 2nd rib 47A for trunk lines of the 2nd half member 40 is inserted in slot 81A of corrugated tube 80A for trunk lines, and the inner edge contacts the back face of slot 81A. When the second half member 40 is further rotated to the first half member 20 side, the main line elastic portion 45A is pressed outward by the contact between the main rib second rib 47A and the groove portion 81A, and is elastically displaced. The branch second rib 47B is inserted into the groove 81B of the branch corrugated tube 80B.

両半割部材２０，４０の当接縁２３，４３同士が当接する正規の閉鎖状態に至ったときには、幹線用第二リブ４７Ａは、幹線用弾性部４５Ａの内方向への弾性復元力によって幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａの溝部８１Ａに差し込まれて押し付けられた状態になっており、支線用第二リブ４７Ｂは、支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂの溝部８１Ｂに差し込まれて、その内側縁が溝部８１Ｂの奥面に接触する手前の位置に配された状態になっている。加えて、第一半割部材２０に設けられた突条部２５Ａ，２５Ｂは、各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂの溝部８１Ａ，８１Ｂにそれぞれ嵌合した状態になっている。   When the normal closed state in which the contact edges 23 and 43 of both the half members 20 and 40 come into contact with each other, the second rib 47A for main line is connected to the main line by the elastic restoring force inward of the elastic part 45A for main line. The second rib 47B for branch line is inserted into the groove part 81B of the corrugated tube 80B for branch line, and its inner edge is the inner surface of the groove part 81B. It is in a state of being arranged at a position in front of touching. In addition, the ridges 25A and 25B provided on the first half member 20 are fitted into the grooves 81A and 81B of the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B, respectively.

また、各ロック片５５Ａ，５５Ｂは、各ロック突部３７Ａ，３７Ｂに当接して弾性撓みし、両半割部材２０，４０が正規の閉鎖状態に至ると同時にロック突部３７Ａ，３７Ｂを乗り越えて弾性復帰する。そして、各ロック片５５Ａ，５５Ｂは、各ロック突部３７Ａ，３７Ｂと係合した状態になり、両半割部材２０，４０は正規の閉鎖状態に保持される。   Each lock piece 55A, 55B abuts against each lock protrusion 37A, 37B and elastically bends, and both halves 20, 40 reach the normal closed state and at the same time get over the lock protrusions 37A, 37B. Returns to elasticity. And each lock piece 55A, 55B will be in the state engaged with each lock protrusion 37A, 37B, and both the half members 20 and 40 are hold | maintained in a regular closed state.

こうして、プロテクタ１０は、各第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂ、第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂおよび突条部２５Ａ，２５Ｂがそれぞれ各コルゲートチューブ８０Ａ，８０Ｂの溝部８１Ａ，８１Ｂに嵌合した状態になり、電線の分岐部分に組み付けられる。   Thus, in the protector 10, the first ribs 26A and 26B, the second ribs 47A and 47B, and the protrusions 25A and 25B are fitted into the grooves 81A and 81B of the corrugated tubes 80A and 80B, respectively. It is assembled to the branch part.

本実施形態においては、電線の幹線に装着された幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａは、プロテクタ１０の幹線部１１に収容可能なコルゲートチューブのうち最大径のものであり、支線に装着された支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂは、プロテクタ１０の支線部１２に収容可能なコルゲートチューブのうち最小径のものである場合について説明した。しかし、本実施形態のプロテクタ１０は、例えば、電線の幹線に、本実施形態の幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａよりも径の小さいコルゲートチューブが装着され、また、電線の支線に、支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂよりも径の大きなコルゲートチューブが装着されている場合であっても問題なく取り付けることができる。電線の幹線に幹線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ａよりも径の小さいコルゲートチューブが装着されているときには、図９に示すように、幹線用第一リブ２６Ａおよび幹線用第二リブ４７Ａは、先述したよりも小さい弾性変位量、もしくは全く弾性変位しない状態（自然状態）でコルゲートチューブに係合することになる。また、例えば電線の支線に支線用コルゲートチューブ８０Ｂよりも径の大きなコルゲートチューブが装着されているときには、図１０に二点鎖線で示すように、支線用第一リブ２６Ｂおよび支線用第二リブ４７Ｂは、コルゲートチューブの径寸法に合わせて弾性変位し、大径のコルゲートチューブに係合することになる。   In this embodiment, the trunk corrugated tube 80A attached to the trunk of the electric wire has the largest diameter among the corrugated tubes that can be accommodated in the trunk 11 of the protector 10, and the branch corrugated tube attached to the branch line. 80B demonstrated the case where it was the thing of the minimum diameter among the corrugated tubes which can be accommodated in the branch line part 12 of the protector 10.

Even if a corrugated tube with a large diameter is attached, it can be attached without any problem. When the corrugated tube having a diameter smaller than that of the main corrugated tube 80A is attached to the main trunk of the electric wire, as shown in FIG. 9, the first main rib 26A and the second main rib 47A are smaller than those described above. The corrugated tube is engaged in an elastic displacement amount or in a state where no elastic displacement occurs (natural state). Further, for example, when a corrugated tube having a diameter larger than that of the branch line corrugated tube 80B is attached to the branch line of the electric wire, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 10, the first rib for branch line 26B and the second rib for branch line 47B. Is elastically displaced according to the diameter of the corrugated tube, and is engaged with the corrugated tube having a large diameter.

以上説明したように本実施形態によれば、電線の分岐部分にプロテクタ１０を取り付ける際、第一半割部材２０に設けられた一対の第一リブ２６Ａ，２６Ｂおよび第二半割部材４０に設けられた第二リブ４７Ａ，４７Ｂは、コルゲートチューブの径に合わせて弾性変位し、コルゲートチューブの溝部８１Ａ，８１Ｂに差し込まれた状態になる。したがって、プロテクタ１０を、径が異なる多種類のコルゲートチューブに取り付けることができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the protector 10 is attached to the branch portion of the electric wire, the protector 10 is provided on the pair of first ribs 26A and 26B and the second half member 40 provided on the first half member 20.
