DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of drawing out a plurality of branch wires branched from a wire harness from inside a protector.

[0002]

FIG. 6 shows a wire harness 1 and a protector 3 in which the wire harness 1 is housed.
An opening 7 is formed in one side wall 5 of the protector 3, and a wire harness 1 is formed from the opening 7.
The branch electric wire 9 branched from is drawn out. A terminal (not shown) is connected to a terminal of the branch wire 9 and is housed in a terminal housing chamber of the connector 11.

The length L1 of the branch wire 9 from the opening 7 to the connector 11 varies. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, when the wire harness 1 is routed on the jig plate, the branch wires 9 branched from the wire harness 1 are separated. For this reason, the branch wire 9 is pulled out from the opening 7 of the protector 3 beyond a predetermined length, and the length L1 to the connector 11 varies (JP-A-2-214406).

[0004] Therefore, as shown in FIG.
Is provided with a fixing portion 13, and the branch wire 9 is wrapped around the fixing portion 13 with a tape 15 to be fixed.
To the connector 11 to a predetermined length,
The length of the branch line is set to a predetermined length.

[0005] As shown in FIG. 9, a branch portion 19 where the branch wire 9 branches from the wire harness 1 is taped with a tape 17.
, The branch line 9 is separated and the branch portion 1
9 is prevented from shifting, and the length of the branch line is set to a predetermined length.

[0006]

However, when other devices are densely arranged around the area where the protector 3 is mounted, there is a case where there is no space for the fixing portion 13. Further, when winding the branch portion 19 with tape, the operation of winding the tape on the jig plate is very troublesome and troublesome.

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
1, a protector 25 provided with a rotating plate 23 is proposed (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-80621). In this protector 25, the branch wire 9 can be securely fixed without the tape fixing portion protruding from the protector 25.

However, since the structure is complicated, the molding die is also complicated and the cost is increased. Further, since the rotating plate 23 is housed inside the protector 25, the protector 25 becomes large.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention allows a branch wire branched from a wire harness to be set to a predetermined length without impairing workability and to be pulled out from the protector. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of extracting a branch electric wire from within a protector which does not need to be formed.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is accommodated in a gutter-shaped protector.
From the wire harness
Of the branch wire from inside the protector
Withdrawal method, the amount taken out of the wire harness

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A method for extracting a branch wire from a protector according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a protector 27 to which the present invention is applied. As shown in FIG. 1, in the protector 27, an electric wire lead-out opening 33 is formed on one side wall 31 of a gutter-shaped protector main body 29. A pin 37 as a hooking member is provided upright from the bottom wall 35 of the protector body 29. Further, a range 3 that is the opening width of the wire outlet opening 33 and up to approximately half the width of the bottom wall 35 of the protector body 29.
A pin 37 is protrudingly provided at the central portion of 9. This pin 3
7 is formed in a cylindrical shape whose diameter is gradually reduced toward the front end.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the branch electric wire 43 taken out of the wire harness 41
After tying the vicinity of the branch portion with the tying tool 51 in a state where the terminal portions are aligned, the branch wire 43 is hooked on the pin 37.

According to the present embodiment, the length of the branch wire 43 drawn out from the protector body 29 can be reliably set to a predetermined length. After the portions are aligned, the vicinity of the branch portion is bound with a binding tool (for example, a band clamp), so that the wire drawing length can be easily set to a predetermined length.

Second Embodiment In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, after the end portions of the branch wires 43 taken out from the wire harness 41 are aligned, the vicinity of the branch is bound by a tape 53. The branch wire 43 is pulled out from the protector main body 29 by hooking the binding portion on the pin 37. In this case, even if there is some variation in the length of the branch wire 43, the wire lead-out length can be set to a predetermined length.

Third Embodiment In a third embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), after aligning the end portions of the branch wires 43 taken out from the wire harness 41, a clip 55 is taped near the branch portion. The branch wire 43 is pulled out from the protector body 29 by hooking the clip 55 on the pin 37. The clip 55 includes a mounting plate portion 55a,
And a hook hole 55b. The mounting plate 55a is a branch wire 4
3 is fixed by a tape 57. In addition, hook hole 55b
Is formed to have a larger diameter than the pin 37 and is easily hooked on the pin 37.

According to the present embodiment, even if the length of the branch wire 43 varies to some extent, the vicinity of the branch portion of the branch wire 43 from the wire harness 41 is bound by the clip 55 so that the wire drawing length can be reduced. Can be set to a predetermined length, and by pulling the clip 55 on the pin 37 in this state, the length of the drawer from the protector body can be set to the predetermined length.

Fourth Embodiment In a fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), a cover 37 for closing the upper opening of the protector body 29 is provided with a pin 37.
This is an example in which a fitting support portion 61 to which the upper end of the fitting is fitted is provided.

As shown in FIG. 5A, a cover 59 is integrally formed on one side wall of the protector body 29 of this embodiment via a hinge 63. A lock arm 65 is formed on the free end side of the cover 59, and the lock arm 65 is engaged with a locking portion 67 provided on the other side wall of the protector body 29. Also, on the back of the cover 59,
A fitting support 61 is provided in a protruding manner. This fitting support 61
As shown in FIG. 5B, when the upper opening of the protector body 29 is closed, the upper end of the pin 37 is fitted.

According to this embodiment, when the cover 59 is closed, the upper end of the pin 37 is fitted to the fitting support 61, so that the bending of the pin 37 is prevented. That is, since the branch wire 43 is hooked on the pin 37 and drawn out of the protector body 29 from the opening 69, the branch wire 43
Is pulled, a bending force is applied to the pin 37. However, since the upper end of the pin 37 is supported by the fitting support 61 of the cover 59, the bending force
Never bends.

[0024]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, after the branch wire is taken out from the wire harness housed in the protector, the branch portions are bound with the end portions aligned, and the hooking member is provided. The branch wire is pulled out from the protector body by hooking the branch portion. Thus, the length from the bound portion to the end portion of the branch wire can be reliably set to a predetermined length.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, after the branch wire is taken out of the wire harness housed in the protector, the branch portions are bound with the terminal portions aligned. Then, the branching portion is hooked on the hooking member, and the branch wire is pulled out from the protector body. Thus, the length from the bound portion to the end portion of the branch wire can be reliably set to a predetermined length.
