The pressing umbrella portion 23 is disposed outside the main holding locking portions 17 and 18, and presses the fixing member 41 (see FIG. 3) from the upper surface when the harness clip 10 is in the main holding state. 41 is held so as to be sandwiched between the main holding locking portions 17 and 18.

  FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view illustrating a temporary holding state of the harness clip 10 of the present embodiment. FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view illustrating a transition state before the harness clip 10 of the present embodiment transitions from the temporary holding state to the main holding state. 2A and 2B show a cross section corresponding to the AA line direction shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (A), a part of the wire harness 31 is fixed on one main surface 11A of the base 11 of the harness clip 10 by an attachment member 32 such as a vinyl tape. And the main pillar part 12 and the anchor parts 13 and 14 of the harness clip 10 are inserted into the temporary holding holes 34 provided in the fixing member 33 such as the reinforcement, and the temporary holding locking parts 15 and 16 are The harness clip 10 is locked and fixed to the temporary holding hole 34 by being hooked on the lower surface of the fixing member 33 positioned at the edge of the temporary holding hole 34.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, when the anchor portions 13 and 14 are not subjected to external force, the separation width W1 of the temporary holding locking portions 15 and 16 is larger than the diameter φ1 of the temporary holding hole 34. Designed to be

  By inserting the main column portion 12 and the anchor portions 13 and 14 into the temporary holding hole 34, the anchor portions 13 and 14 come into contact with the edge of the temporary holding hole 34, and an external force is applied in the direction indicated by the arrow 35. In response, the anchor portions 13 and 14 are displaced toward the main column portion 12 side. And when the main pillar part 12 and the anchor parts 13 and 14 are inserted to the position of the temporary holding latching parts 15 and 16, the anchor parts 13 and 14 move away from the main pillar part 12 which is the reverse direction. Then, the temporary holding locking portions 15 and 16 are hooked on the lower surface of the fixing member 33 located at the edge of the temporary holding hole 34. In this state, the harness clip 10 cannot be removed from the temporary holding hole 34, and the temporary holding state of the harness clip 10 is realized.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (B), the main clip 12 and the anchors 13 and 14 are further pushed into the temporary holding hole 34 from the above-described temporary holding state of the harness clip 10, thereby temporarily fixing the harness clip 10. The hold state is released. And as shown by the arrow 36, the anchor parts 13 and 14 are pushed to the main pillar part 12 side by the fixing member 33 located at the edge of the temporary holding hole 34, so that the anchor parts 13 and 14 The lock portions 19 and 20 at the tip are inserted into the lock holes 21 and 22.

  Thereafter, by returning the harness clip 10 in the direction of pulling out from the temporary holding hole 34, the anchor portions 13, 14 return in the direction away from the main pillar portion 12, which is the reverse direction, and the lock portions 19, 20 are locked. It catches on the side surface of the base 11 located at the edge of the holes 21 and 22. Even in a state where the anchor portions 13 and 14 are not receiving external force, the lock portions 19 and 20 cannot be removed from the lock holes 21 and 22, and the transition state of the harness clip 10 is realized.

  Here, the anchor portions 13 and 14 are formed in a substantially bow shape having a curved surface convex toward the main column portion 12 side. By receiving an external force in the direction indicated by the arrows 35 and 36 with this structure, the anchor portions 13 and 14 are easily bent in a direction in which the anchor portions 13 and 14 are bent into a substantially “<” shape. On the other hand, in the transition state of the harness clip 10, the anchor portions 13 and 14 try to return in a direction away from the main pillar portion 12, but are difficult to bend in the direction of warping in a substantially “I” shape.

  As a result, once the lock portions 19 and 20 are locked to the lock holes 21 and 22, the lock portions 19 and 20 are caught on the side surfaces of the edge portions of the lock holes 21 and 22. Since the lock portions 19 and 20 do not come out of the lock holes 21 and 22 unless the wire 20 is broken, the transition state of the harness clip 10 is maintained.

  In the transition state of the harness clip 10, the lock portions 19 and 20 are locked in the lock holes 21 and 22, so that the separation width W3 of the temporary holding locking portions 15 and 16 is temporarily held before the temporary holding state. It becomes narrower than the separation width W1 (see FIG. 1 (B)) of the locking portions 15 and 16 for use. Further, the separation width W3 of the temporary holding locking portions 15 and 16 becomes narrower than the diameter φ1 of the temporary holding hole 34. With this structure, the transitional harness clip 10 can be easily pulled out from the temporary holding hole 34.

  FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the main holding state of the harness clip 10 of the present embodiment. Note that FIG. 3 shows a cross section corresponding to the line AA shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the harness clip 10 pulled out from the temporary holding hole 34 (see FIG. 2B) is in its transition state, for example, for main holding provided in a fixing member 41 such as a vehicle body frame. It is inserted into the hole 42. Then, the main holding latch portions 17 and 18 are hooked on the lower surface of the fixing member 41 located at the edge of the main holding hole 42, so that the harness clip 10 is locked to the main holding hole 42 and fixed. Is done.

  As described above, in the transition state of the harness clip 10, the separation width W <b> 2 (see FIG. 2B) of the main holding locking portions 17 and 18 is larger than the diameter φ <b> 2 of the main holding hole 42. Designed.

  By inserting the main column portion 12 and the anchor portions 13 and 14 into the main holding hole 42, the anchor portions 13 and 14 come into contact with the edge of the main holding hole 42, and external force is applied in the direction indicated by the arrow 43. The receiving and anchor portions 13 and 14 are displaced toward the main column portion 12 side. As shown in the figure, the lock portions 19 and 20 have a space for moving toward the main column portion 12 in the lock holes 21 and 22.

  Thereafter, when the main column portion 12 and the anchor portions 13 and 14 are inserted to the positions of the main holding locking portions 17 and 18, the anchor portions 13 and 14 move away from the main column portion 12 which is the opposite direction. Then, the holding holding portions 17 and 18 are hooked on the lower surface of the fixing member 41 located at the edge of the main holding hole 42. In this state, the harness clip 10 cannot be removed from the book holding hole 42, and the book holding state of the harness clip 10 is realized.

  In the present embodiment, the harness clip 10 is brought into the transition state by the pushing operation by the operator from the temporary holding state, and the harness clip 10 can be easily pulled out from the temporary holding hole 34. With this structure, when pulling out the harness clip 10 from the temporary holding hole 34, the pressing umbrella portion 23, the anchor portions 13 and 14 and the like are not damaged and deformed by a tool such as a screwdriver. After that, by inserting the harness clip 10 in the transition state into the main holding hole 42, the main holding state of the harness clip 10 can be realized.

  That is, when the harness clip 10 is used not only in the temporary holding state but also in the main holding state, the number of parts can be reduced, and the material cost can be reduced. Furthermore, it is only necessary to form the temporary holding hole 34 for locking the harness clip 10 in the fixing member 33, and it is not necessary to form a special locking structure for temporarily holding the harness clip 10, Manufacturing costs can also be reduced.

  Further, the diameter φ2 of the main holding hole 42 is set larger than the diameter φ1 of the temporary holding hole 34. For example, the diameter φ2 of the main holding hole 42 is 7 mm, and the diameter φ1 of the temporary holding hole 34 is 5 mm. With this structure, the amount of displacement of the anchor portions 13 and 14 when the harness clip 10 in the transition state is inserted into the main holding hole 42 is reduced, and an external load on the anchor portions 13 and 14 is reduced. 14 are difficult to break.

  Next, a harness clip fixing method according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the description of the present embodiment, the same reference numerals are used for the same members in principle, and repeated descriptions are omitted.
