[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an insertion clip used for attaching a wiring harness such as a vehicle wiring to a bracket fixed to a vehicle body or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional insertion clip A has a holding portion 2 having a clamp portion 1 for holding a wire harness B, and a clip portion A extending from the holding portion 2 to be attached. And an engaging portion 4 that engages with the bracket 3 fixed to the panel.

The engaging portion 4 has a guide portion 5 for guiding insertion into the bracket 3 and an engaging hole 6 formed in the guide portion. And an engaging claw 7 for securing the bracket to the bracket 3.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional insertion clip A, since the holding portion 2 and the engaging portion 4 are directly connected, the position and angle between them can be changed. Can not. Therefore, for example, when inserting the insertion clip A into the bracket 3 arranged in a direction different from the extending direction of the wire harness B as shown in FIG. 2, the wire harness B is inserted while being bent in accordance with the direction of the bracket 3. And there is a problem that workability is poor.

Further, if a flexible connecting structure is provided between the holding portion 2 and the engaging portion 4 in order to facilitate the mounting, particularly in an engine room, the connecting portion is deteriorated by vibration, and the durability is deteriorated. There is a problem.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. Even when the direction in which the wire harness extends and the direction of the bracket are different, the plug is inserted without changing the direction of the wire harness. An object of the present invention is to provide an insertion clip which can be inserted into a bracket, has little deterioration due to vibration or the like after mounting, and has excellent durability.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the insertion clip according to the present invention is inserted into a holding portion for holding a harness and a plate-like bracket fixed to a panel, and holds the bracket. In the insertion clip having an engaging portion, the holding portion includes a clamp portion for holding a harness, and a thick substrate portion formed at a base end of the clamp portion, and the engaging portion includes a bracket. A guide part that guides insertion into the bracket when inserted into the bracket, and an engagement claw that engages with an engagement hole formed in the bracket when attached to the bracket. A flexible thin connecting portion is provided for connecting the both sides so that clearances are formed on both sides in the thickness direction of the substrate portion in the guide portion, and the engaging claw guides the substrate portion at the time of attachment to the bracket. Wherein one by providing a position to secure against the side.

[0008]

In the insertion clip according to the present invention, the holding portion is movable with respect to the engaging portion before being attached to the bracket, and when the attachment to the bracket is completed, the substrate portion of the holding portion is engaged with the engaging portion. And the positional relationship between the holding portion and the engaging portion is fixed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the insertion clip according to the present invention will be described below.

FIGS. 3 to 5 show the insertion clips of this embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, a holding portion 10 for holding a wire harness B such as an electric wiring, and an engaging portion 20 which is inserted into an L-shaped anchor-shaped plate-shaped bracket 3 fixed to a vehicle body panel or the like to pinch the bracket 3 And is formed of a resin material.

The holding section 10 is composed of a cylindrical clamp section 11 for holding the wire harness B, and a thick board section 12 formed at the base end of the clamp section 11. The clamp unit 11 has a lock mechanism 13 that can be opened and closed on the lower side in the figure and a hinge part 14 on the upper side, and opens the lock mechanism 13 to insert the wire harness B, closes and clamps the wire harness B, and Fixed to B.

The engaging portions 20 are provided on both sides in the width direction of the bracket 3, and guide portions 21 and 21 for guiding insertion when the bracket 3 is inserted into the bracket 3, an intermediate portion 22 connecting both guide portions 21, And an engaging claw 23 that rises from the intermediate portion 22 and engages with the engaging hole 6 formed in the bracket 3 when attached to the bracket 3.

Between the substrate portion 12 and the guide portions 21 and 21, there is provided a flexible thin connecting portion 30 for connecting the two. The connecting portion 30 is provided such that clearances are formed on both sides in the thickness direction of the substrate portion 12 in the guide portion 21 before being attached to the bracket 3.
The holding unit 10 is configured to be rotatable with respect to the engagement unit 20.

The engaging claw 23 is provided at a position where the board portion 12 is pressed against one side of the guide portion 21 and fixed when it is mounted on the bracket 3.

Next, the bracket 3 of the above-mentioned insertion clip
A description will be given of the attachment to the device. In mounting, first, an insertion clip is attached to an appropriate portion of the wire harness, and second, the clip is attached to a bracket and fixed.

FIG. 4 shows a state of positioning on the bracket 3. At this stage, the substrate portion 12 is supported by the guide portion 21 so that clearances are generated on both sides in the thickness direction of the substrate portion 12, and is rotatable with respect to the engagement portion 20.

For example, when the wire harness B has an angle with respect to the bracket 3 as shown in FIG. 2, the holding portion 10 is rotated with respect to the engaging portion 20 as shown in FIG. Thereby, the engaging portion 20 can be attached to the bracket 3 without bending the wire harness B itself.

As shown in FIG. 7, the bracket 3 is
0, the engaging claw 23 engages with the engaging hole 6 to prevent the clip from coming off, and as shown in FIG. To fix the holding portion 10 to the engaging portion 20 and prohibit the subsequent movement of the holding portion 10.

Therefore, even if there is a vibration or the like, the holding section is kept in a fixed state, so that the holding section does not deteriorate due to the vibration due to the vibration or the like, and the durability of the clip can be kept high.

[0019]

As described above, according to this invention, before insertion into the bracket, the direction of the bracket is different from the direction of the harness because the space between the holding portion and the engaging portion is flexible. Also, the clip can be easily attached to the bracket.

After the bracket is attached to the bracket, the positional relationship between the holding portion and the engaging portion is fixed, so that the holding portion is less likely to deteriorate due to vibration due to vibration or the like, and the durability can be kept high.
