DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a harness clip according to the embodiment. This harness clip 1 is generally formed of a cylindrical portion 2.
And a belt-shaped portion 3, and the whole is integrally formed of a synthetic resin or the like.

[0009] As shown in FIG.
Are formed in the through hole 4 and the elastically deformable locking claw 5 is formed.
Is provided. In the present embodiment, a slit 6 is formed along the longitudinal direction at the center of the belt-shaped portion 3 so as to be in the middle of the belt-shaped portion 3. The portion is separated into a pair of unit strips 3a, 3a. On one surface of the pair of unit strips 3a,
Latch-shaped engaging surfaces 7 that engage with the engaging claws 5 are formed. Thus, as shown in the drawing, along the longitudinal direction of each unit band-shaped portion 3a, within the formation range of the latch-shaped locking surface 7,
Fewer thin-walled parts 8 with smaller cross-sectional area than other parts
At least one ( two in this embodiment) is formed.

In this embodiment constructed as described above, when the harness is tightened by the harness clip 1 as shown in FIG. And the leading end of the strip 3 is inserted into the through hole 4 of the tubular part 2.
Then, the band-shaped portion 3 is pulled to a predetermined position, and the predetermined position of the latch-shaped locking surface 7 is engaged with the locking claw 5 to tighten the harness 9. When the band 3 is then strongly pulled by hand, the band 3 is cut at the position of the thin portion 8 protruding from the cylindrical portion 2, and an unnecessary portion at the tip of the band 3 can be removed.

As described above, the work of cutting the unnecessary portion of the belt-shaped portion 3 can be easily performed by hand, and a tool such as a nipper and a cutter is not required as in the related art, so that the workability of cutting is good. As a result, the overall work efficiency can be improved.

In this embodiment, an example is shown in which a slit 6 is formed in the center of the strip 3 along the longitudinal direction and is divided into a pair of unit strips 3a, 3a. Such a configuration is desirable for facilitation, but it is also possible not to form the slit 6 depending on design conditions.

Next, FIGS. 4 to 6 show another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the range of formation of the latch-shaped locking surface 7 along the longitudinal direction of the strip 3 is shown . And other parts
Three thin portions 8 with smaller cross-sectional area are formed
A slit 6 is formed in the center of the strip 4 along the longitudinal direction, and is close to each of the thin portions 8.
The slit 6 is located closer to the distal end of the band-shaped portion 3 than the thin portion 8 is.
Integrated unit band-shaped portions 3a, 3a separated by
The second embodiment is characterized in that a bridge 10 is formed , and the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment.

In this embodiment, when tightening the harness 9, an L-shaped bar-shaped jig 11 having an outer diameter capable of fitting into the slit 6 is used as shown in FIGS. After the harness 9 is wound around the band portion 3, the tip of the band portion 3 is inserted into the through hole 4 of the tubular portion 2, and the tip portion is made to protrude. When the tip of the jig 11 is inserted and hooked on a predetermined bridge 10 and the rod-shaped jig 11 is pulled, a predetermined position of the latch-shaped locking surface 7 meshes with the locking claw 5 and the harness 9 is engaged. After being sufficiently tightened and fixed, the thin portion 8 near the bridge 10 where the rod jig 11 is hooked is pulled by the tensile force of the rod jig 11.
Is cut off, and an unnecessary portion at the tip of the strip 3 can be removed.

When the harness 9 is thick as shown in FIG. 5, the bar-shaped jig 1 is attached to the bridge 10 at the tip of the band-shaped portion 3.
6 and perform the above-described tightening and cutting operations.
When the harness 9 is thin as described above, the rod-shaped jig 11 may be hung on the optimum bridge 10 at the intermediate position of the band-shaped portion 3 to perform the tightening and cutting operations. in this way,
In the present embodiment, the use of the rod-shaped jig 11 allows the harness tightening operation and the cutting operation to be performed at the same time, and the working efficiency can be further improved. If the bar-shaped jig 11 is operated by an automatic machine or the like instead of manually, an automatic assembly is also possible.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the harness clip 1 used at a portion where the harness 9 does not need to be fixed to a vehicle body panel or the like of an automobile has been exemplified. However, as shown in FIGS. Fixing to a vehicle body panel or the like by integrally forming an anchor-shaped locking leg portion 12 at a predetermined position of the band-shaped portion 3 which can be fitted and locked into a mounting hole formed in a member to be mounted such as a panel. Becomes possible. Reference numeral 13 in the figure denotes a flange that elastically presses the vehicle body panel and the like from above. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the number of the thin portions 8 and the bridges 10 corresponding to the thin portions 8 and the like can be appropriately set to optimal conditions according to design conditions. It goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
