  In the wire harness packing tool, it is easy to store and take out the wire harness, to be able to handle packing of many types of wire harnesses, and to be easy to collect and reuse the packing tool. It is desired.

  However, when the packaging tool shown in Patent Document 1 is adopted, some inconveniences shown below may occur.

  In the packaging tool disclosed in Patent Document 1, each of the bound sheet materials includes a portion that wraps around the side of the wire harness along the thickness direction of the wire harness from the binding portion, and each wire in a direction parallel to the bottom surface of the packaging container. It is necessary to have the part which partitions a harness. Therefore, the packaging tool shown in Patent Document 1 has insufficient adaptability to the packaging of wire harnesses having different thicknesses.

  That is, in order to be able to cope with the packaging of a thick wire harness, each sheet material needs to be formed larger than the contour shape of the inner surface of the packaging container. However, when such a large sheet material is used when a thin wire harness is packed, an excess portion of the sheet material interferes with the wire harness removal operation.

  On the other hand, when a sheet material that does not generate surplus is employed, when a thick wire harness is packed, the size of the sheet material is insufficient with respect to the size required to partition the plurality of wire harnesses. .

  Moreover, when the wire harness taken out from the inside of the packaging container is caught by one sheet material, the inconvenience that all the plurality of bound sheet materials are pulled out from the packaging container tends to occur. Furthermore, in this case, the remaining wire harness as well as the sheet material may be pulled out from the packaging container.

  Furthermore, there is a tendency that the bound sheet material is taken out of the packaging container together with the wire harness. In this case, it becomes difficult to collect the packaging container and the sheet material at the same time.

  As described above, the packaging tool disclosed in Patent Document 1 is easy to take out a plurality of wire harnesses, adaptable to packaging of many types of wire harnesses, and easy to collect the packaging tools. Has a problem.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a wire harness packing tool that is excellent in ease of storing and taking out a wire harness, adaptability to packing of various types of wire harnesses, and ease of collection of the packing tool. And

The wire harness packing tool which concerns on the 1st aspect of this invention is provided with each component shown below.

(3) The third component is a sheet fixing portion that removably fixes one end of the sheet material to the inner side surface of the side wall portion of the container at a plurality of positions in the depth direction of the container.

  The wire harness packing tool according to the second aspect of the present invention is an aspect of the wire harness packing tool according to the first aspect. In the wire harness packing tool according to the second aspect, the sheet fixing portion is located at alternately different positions in the depth direction of the container on the inner surfaces of one and the other of the pair of opposing side wall portions in the container. One end of the sheet material can be fixed.

  The wire harness packing tool which concerns on the 3rd aspect of this invention is one aspect | mode of the wire harness packing tool which concerns on a 1st aspect or a 2nd aspect. In the wire harness packing tool according to the third aspect, the sheet fixing part includes a first sticking part and a second sticking part shown below. The first sticking portion is a portion where at least one of a loop surface and a hook surface constituting the sticking surface of the surface fastener is formed. The first sticking portion is formed at a plurality of positions in the depth direction of the container at least on the inner surface of the side wall portion of the container. The second sticking portion is a portion where at least the other of the loop surface and the hook surface is formed. The second sticking part is formed at one end of the sheet material.

  The wire harness packing tool which concerns on the 4th aspect of this invention is one aspect | mode of the wire harness packing tool which concerns on a 3rd aspect. In the wire harness packing tool according to the fourth aspect, the first sticking part is formed continuously over a plurality of positions in the depth direction of the container on the inner surface of the side wall part of the container.

  In each of the above aspects, one end of the sheet material that partitions the inside of the container is detachably fixed to the inner side surface of the side wall portion of the container at a plurality of positions in the depth direction of the container.

  Therefore, one end of the sheet material is fixed at a position (depth) according to the thickness when the wire harness is packed, so that the wire harnesses having different thicknesses can be packed without causing excess or deficiency in the size of the sheet material. It becomes possible to do. As a result, problems such as the wire harness being caught on the surplus portion of the sheet material or the upper and lower wire harnesses being entangled due to the insufficient size of the sheet material are unlikely to occur.

  Furthermore, since one end of the sheet material is fixed to the side wall portion of the container, the sheet material is not taken out of the container together with the wire harness. Moreover, the operation | work which packages a wire harness, ie, the operation | work which covers a sheet | seat material on a wire harness, whenever a wire harness is put in a container is easy.

  As described above, the wire harness packing tool according to each of the above aspects is easy to store and take out the wire harness, adaptability to packing of various types of wire harnesses, and easy to collect the packing tool. And is excellent.

  Moreover, in the 2nd aspect, it can be set as the state with which the some sheet material fixed in the different position in the depth direction of a container alternately overlapped with each of one and the other of a pair of opposing side wall part. In this case, the free end of a certain sheet material is located on the opposite side to the position of the free end of the sheet material one lower than that. Therefore, the direction in which the sheet material that partitions the top of a certain wire harness is turned up is different from the direction in which the sheet material that partitions the top of the wire harness that is one lower is turned up. Therefore, an erroneous operation of turning up a plurality of sheet materials at a time and taking out a plurality of wire harnesses at a time is prevented.

  Further, in the third aspect, since the seat fixing portion is formed of a hook-and-loop fastener, it is easy to fix the sheet material and change the fixing position.

  Moreover, in the 4th aspect, the 1st sticking part by the side wall part side which comprises one side of a pair of hook_and_loop | surface fastener is continued and formed over the several position in the depth direction of a container. In this case, the fixing position of one end of the sheet material can be set to an arbitrary position in the depth direction of the container. Therefore, the flexibility of the fixing position of the sheet material is high, and the adaptability to the packaging of many types of wire harnesses is further increased.
