Means and effects for solving the problems

  The problems to be solved by the present invention are as described above. Next, means for solving the problems and the effects thereof will be described.

According to the viewpoint of this invention, the following structures regarding the wire harness fixing tool for fixing a wire harness to a to-be-attached body are provided. That is, this wire harness fixture includes a support column and a pair of arms. The support column is formed so as to protrude into an attachment hole formed in the attached body. The arm is connected to the support near the tip of the support and is disposed so as to be inclined with respect to the support. The arm portion includes a first arm portion, a second arm portion, and a step portion. The first arm part is connected to the support part. The second arm portion is disposed on a side farther from the first arm portion when viewed from the tip of the support column portion. The step portion is disposed between the first arm portion and the second arm portion, and can be caught in the mounting hole. The arm portion is elastically deformed, and is movable between a first position where the stepped portion is caught in the mounting hole and a second position where the stepped portion is removed from the mounting hole. In a state where the arm portion is not elastically deformed, a surface of the second arm portion on the side farther from the support column portion has a first inclined surface connected to the stepped portion and a tip end of the support column portion. And a second inclined surface disposed on a side farther from the first inclined surface. The second inclined surface is more inclined with respect to the protruding direction of the support column than the first inclined surface. A pair of guide walls are arranged across the support column. The direction in which the pair of guide walls are arranged is parallel to the direction in which the arm portions are arranged in a pair. A groove is formed between the guide walls. At least a part of the second inclined surface is located inside the groove. A contact surface that can come into contact with another member is arranged on one side of the arm portion in a direction perpendicular to both the direction in which the arm portions are arranged in a pair and the direction in which the support column protrudes. The contact surface closes at least a portion of the groove.

Thus, a jig having a pair of tip portions is first inserted in the vicinity of the first inclined surface (which can ensure a large surrounding space because the inclination is relatively loose), and then the arm portion is moved from the first position to the second position. It can be easily pushed to a position and elastically deformed. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the work of inserting the jig and removing the wire harness fixture from the mounted body with a simple configuration. As a result, for example, even when the wire harness fixing tool is fixed at the wrong position of the attached body, the wire harness fixing tool can be easily detached from the attached body and attached again at the correct position. Moreover, since it can hold | maintain in the state in which the front-end | tip of the jig | tool entered the inside of a groove | channel, the removal operation | work of a wire harness fixing tool becomes still easier. The jig can be positioned by bringing the tip of the jig placed in the groove into contact with the contact surface. In this state, the arm is reliably elastically deformed by pressing the second arm with the jig. be able to.

The wire harness fixture described above preferably has the following configuration. That is, this wire harness fixture includes a limiting portion. The length of the restriction portion in the direction in which the arm portions are arranged in a pair is equal to or less than the diameter of the mounting hole. The second arm part is separated from the column part in a state where the arm part is elastically deformed to the limit restricted by the restriction part.

Thereby, the damage etc. which arise when a 2nd arm part is pushed too much with a jig | tool and deform | transforms excessively can be prevented by a restriction | limiting part.

According to the viewpoint of this invention, the following structures regarding the wire harness fixing tool for fixing a wire harness to a to-be-attached body are provided. That is, this wire harness fixture includes a support column and a pair of arms. The support column is formed so as to protrude into an attachment hole formed in the attached body. The arm is connected to the support near the tip of the support and is disposed so as to be inclined with respect to the support. The arm portion includes a first arm portion, a second arm portion, and a step portion. The first arm part is connected to the support part. The second arm portion is disposed on a side farther from the first arm portion when viewed from the tip of the support column portion. The step portion is disposed between the first arm portion and the second arm portion, and can be caught in the mounting hole. The arm portion is elastically deformed, and is movable between a first position where the stepped portion is caught in the mounting hole and a second position where the stepped portion is removed from the mounting hole. In a state where the arm portion is not elastically deformed, a surface of the second arm portion on the side farther from the support column portion has a first inclined surface connected to the stepped portion and a tip end of the support column portion. And a second inclined surface disposed on a side farther from the first inclined surface. The second inclined surface is more inclined with respect to the protruding direction of the support column than the first inclined surface. A pair of guide walls are arranged across the support column. The direction in which the pair of guide walls are arranged is parallel to the direction in which the arm portions are arranged in a pair. A groove is formed between the guide walls. At least a part of the second inclined surface is located inside the groove. The wire harness fixture includes a limiting portion. The length of the restriction portion in the direction in which the arm portions are arranged in a pair is equal to or less than the diameter of the mounting hole. The second arm part is separated from the column part in a state where the arm part is elastically deformed to the limit restricted by the restriction part.

Accordingly, a jig having a pair of tip portions is first inserted in the vicinity of the first inclined surface (which can ensure a large surrounding space because the inclination is relatively loose), and then the arm portion is moved from the first position to the second position. It can be easily pushed to a position and elastically deformed. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the work of inserting the jig and removing the wire harness fixture from the mounted body with a simple configuration. As a result, for example, even when the wire harness fixing tool is fixed at the wrong position of the attached body, the wire harness fixing tool can be easily detached from the attached body and attached again at the correct position. Moreover, since it can hold | maintain in the state in which the front-end | tip of the jig | tool entered the inside of a groove | channel, the removal operation | work of a wire harness fixing tool becomes still easier. The limiting portion can prevent damage or the like caused when the second arm portion is excessively deformed by the jig and excessively deformed.

In the said wire harness fixing tool, it is preferable that the said 2nd arm part has a part which thickness increases as it distances from the said level | step-difference part.

Thereby, the mechanical strength of the second arm portion can be ensured, and the second inclined surface can be easily formed on the second arm portion.

  The wire harness fixture described above preferably has the following configuration. That is, the wire harness fixture includes a pedestal portion on which the groove is disposed. The pedestal is formed with a tapered notch that becomes narrower as it approaches the groove.

  Thereby, a jig | tool can be smoothly inserted in a groove | channel by applying a jig | tool to the taper part of a notch part. As a result, the wire harness fixture can be removed from the attached body more easily.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an overall configuration of a connector holder 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a view of the connector holder 1 as viewed in the direction A of FIG. FIG. 3 is a view of the connector holder 1 as viewed in the direction B of FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the clamp 4 as viewed in the direction A of FIG. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view showing the clamp 4 with the connector holder 1 attached to the vehicle body panel 5.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the connector holder (wire harness fixture) 1 includes a connector holder main body 2 and a clamp (fixing portion) 4.

  The connector holder main body 2 is formed in an appropriate shape, and two connector insertion ports 3 are formed side by side on one surface thereof. The connector insertion port 3 is configured so that a connector of an automotive wire harness (not shown) can be inserted in the direction A of FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, two clamps 4 are provided so as to protrude from a surface different from the surface where the connector insertion port 3 opens in the connector holder main body 2. With this clamp 4, the connector holder 1 can be fixed to the vehicle body panel (attachment body) 5 as shown in FIG. 2. Moreover, although mentioned later for details, the clamp 4 can be easily removed from the vehicle body panel 5 by inserting an appropriate jig | tool with respect to the clamp 4 to A direction of FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the clamp 4 includes a pedestal part 40, a support part 41, a pair of arm parts 42, a restriction block (restriction part) 43, a pair of outer parts 44, It has.

  The pedestal portion 40 is formed in a flat plate shape having a certain thickness and is disposed so as to protrude from the connector holder main body 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the pedestal portion 40 has a substantially rectangular shape when viewed in a direction parallel to the direction in which the connector holder 1 is attached to the vehicle body panel 5 (specifically, the B direction in FIG. 1). . However, a trapezoidal notch portion 46 is formed on the long side on one side of the pedestal portion 40 (the long side on the side where the jig is inserted), the width of which becomes narrower as it approaches the long side on the other side. .

  The column portion 41 is configured to protrude from the pedestal portion 40 and the connector holder main body 2 (notch portion 46) in a direction parallel to the thickness direction of the pedestal portion 40. This support | pillar part 41 is formed in flat form, and the direction of the thickness is orient | assigned so that it may become parallel to the long side direction of the base part 40 formed in the substantially rectangular shape. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3 etc., the support | pillar part 41 is arrange | positioned in the center part of the base part 40. As shown in FIG.

  The arm portions 42 are arranged in a pair so as to be symmetrical to each other. As shown in FIG. 5, the arm portion 42 can be inserted together with the column portion 41 into a circular through-hole mounting hole 5 h formed in the vehicle body panel 5. The direction in which the pair of arm portions 42 are arranged is perpendicular to the direction in which the column portion 41 protrudes from the pedestal portion 40 and perpendicular to the direction in which a jig described later is inserted into the clamp 4 (direction A in FIG. 1). It is. Each arm portion 42 is formed in an elongated shape, one end of which is connected to the column portion 41 in the vicinity of the tip of the column portion 41 formed in a convex shape, and the other end is disposed in the vicinity of the pedestal portion 40. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the arm portion 42 is disposed to be inclined with respect to the column portion 41 so as to gradually move away from the column portion 41 as it approaches the pedestal portion 40 side.

  Each arm portion 42 is configured to be elastically deformable (inward) so as to approach the support column portion 41 side. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the insertion taper surface that is slightly inclined from the end connected to the support column 41 to the substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction is provided on the surface far from the support column 41 in each arm unit 42. 42t is formed. With this configuration, as the support column 41 and the pair of arm portions 42 are inserted into the mounting holes 5h of the vehicle body panel 5, the arm portions 42 can be elastically deformed inward by the insertion tapered surface 42t.

  In each arm portion 42, a step portion 42 s is formed on the surface farther from the column portion 41 than the insertion taper surface 42 t, so as to be recessed closer to the column portion 41 on the side farther from the tip end of the column portion 41. . Thus, when the arm portion 42 is inserted to a certain extent into the mounting hole 5h of the vehicle body panel 5, the step portion 42s of each arm portion 42 is caught as shown in FIG. 5, so that the clamp 4 does not come off from the vehicle body panel 5. Can be held.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the restriction block 43 is disposed on the side opposite to the side where the notched portion 46 is formed in the pedestal portion 40. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the restriction block 43 is configured to protrude to the middle of the column portion 41 in parallel with the direction in which the column portion 41 protrudes from the pedestal portion 40. In addition, the restriction block 43 is formed so as to protrude symmetrically outward from the support column 41 along the direction in which the pair of arm portions 42 are arranged.

  The restriction block 43 does not interfere with the arm portion 42 as shown in FIG. 3 when viewed in the direction along the direction in which the connector holder 1 is attached to the vehicle body panel 5 (specifically, the B direction in FIG. 1). Placed in position. The restriction block 43 has a flat contact surface 43p. The contact surface 43p of the arm portion 42 in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the arm portions 42 are arranged in a pair or the direction in which the support column 41 protrudes. Arranged on one side. Although the details will be described later, the contact surface 43p of the restriction block 43 contacts the tip of the jig 6 inserted for removing the clamp 4 as shown in FIG. be able to.

  Further, in the restriction block 43, the surfaces facing the one side and the other side in the direction in which the pair of arm portions 42 are arranged are respectively flat regulation surfaces 43q, and each regulation surface 43q is formed by the outer portion 44. It arrange | positions so that the guide wall 44a provided may be faced. Although the details will be described later, the restriction surface 43q of the restriction block 43 comes into contact with the tip of the jig 6 inserted for removing the clamp 4 as shown in FIG. The movement in the direction approaching 41 is restricted, thereby restricting a part of the stroke (displacement amount) by which the second arm part 42 b is pushed by the tip part of the jig 6 in order to elastically deform the arm part 42. it can. As shown in FIG. 5, the length L of the restriction block 43 in the direction in which the arm portions 42 are arranged in a pair (in other words, the interval between the pair of restriction surfaces 43q) L is equal to or less than the diameter D of the mounting hole 5h. (L ≦ D).

  The outer portions 44 are symmetrically arranged in a pair so as to sandwich the support column 41, the pair of arm portions 42, and the restriction block 43. Each outer portion 44 protrudes from the pedestal portion 40 in a direction parallel to the direction in which the column portion 41 protrudes. The direction in which the pair of outer portions 44 are arranged is parallel to the direction in which the pair of arm portions 42 are arranged.

  Each outer portion 44 has a guide wall 44a that is elongated along the direction in which the jig 6 is inserted. A groove 45 into which the jig 6 can be inserted is formed between the pair of guide walls 44a, and the support column 41 is configured to protrude from the inside of the groove 45. Inside the groove 45, a part of each arm portion 42 including the end portion on the side far from the tip of the column portion 41 is disposed. Further, the restriction block 43 (contact surface 43p) is disposed so as to close a part of the groove 45.

  The outer side portion 44 has a pressing portion 44 b that protrudes from the guide wall 44 a in a direction away from the column portion 41 and is curved in an arc shape in a direction away from the pedestal portion 40. When the clamp 4 is attached to the vehicle body panel 5 as shown in FIG. 5, the front end of the pressing portion 44b is configured to be able to contact and hold the vehicle body panel 5 while being appropriately elastically deformed. As a result, the play of the clamp 4 can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the clamp 4 configured as described above is configured to be attached and fixed to the vehicle body panel 5. Attachment and removal of the clamp 4 from the vehicle body panel 5 will be described later.

  Next, a detailed configuration of the clamp 4 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the arm part 42 includes a first arm part 42 a, a step part 42 s, and a second arm part 42 b in order from the side closer to the tip part of the support column part 41.

  As described above, the arm portion 42 is disposed so as to be inclined with respect to the column portion 41. The inclination of the surface (inner surface) closer to the support column 41 of the first arm portion 42a to the support column 41, and the support of the surface closer to the support column 41 (inner surface) of the second arm portion 42b. The inclination with respect to the portion 41 is formed to be substantially equal to each other.

  The insertion taper surface 42t is formed on the first arm portion 42a as described above, but the second arm portion 42b positioned on the side farther from the step portion 42s when viewed from the tip of the support column portion 41 is the first arm portion 42a. Are formed thinner than the portion where the insertion tapered surface 42t is formed.

  A surface (outer surface) on the side farther from the support column 41 of the second arm unit 42 b is provided with a first inclined surface 61 connected to the stepped portion 42 s and a first inclined surface 61 as viewed from the tip of the support column 41. And a second inclined surface 62 disposed on the farther side. In the portion where the second inclined surface 62 is formed, the thickness of the second arm portion 42 b is formed so that the thickness gradually increases as the distance from the tip of the column portion 41 increases. As a result, the second inclined surface 62 is more inclined with respect to the protruding direction of the support column 41 than the first inclined surface 61.

  The arm portion 42 is elastically deformed toward the support portion 41 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 when an external force is applied from the state of FIG. 4, and the first position P1 shown in FIG. 5 and the second position shown in FIG. It is configured to be able to move to the position P2. For example, when the clamp 4 is attached to the vehicle body panel 5, an external force acts on the first arm portion 42a from the attachment hole 5h via the insertion taper surface 42t, or an external force acts on the step portion 42s. On the other hand, in order to remove the clamp 4 from the vehicle body panel 5, an external force may be applied to the second arm portion 42b by the jig 6.

  Next, a method for removing the clamp 4 from the vehicle body panel 5 by elastically deforming the arm portion 42 using the jig 6 will be described. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view showing the state of the clamp 4 when the arm portion 42 is elastically deformed inward by the jig 6 from the state of FIG. FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of the clamp 4 of FIG. 6 as viewed in the direction B of FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the jig 6 has a pair of elongated tip portions, and a portion (second arm portion 42b) in the groove 45 of the pair of arm portions 42 can be sandwiched from the outside. It is configured to be possible.

  The operator inserts a pair of tip portions into the groove 45 along the direction A in FIG. 1 while applying a force to narrow the space between the tip portions of the jig 6. Before inserting the front end of the jig 6 into the groove 45, the notch 46 of the notch 46 formed in the pedestal 40 has a tapered portion (a portion whose width is narrowed toward the groove 45). By sliding the tip portion against it, the gap between the tip portions of the jig 6 can be narrowed with a small force and can be inserted into the groove 45 as it is. As a result, work efficiency can be improved. Further, when the tip of the jig 6 is inserted into the groove 45, if the tip of the jig 6 is moved closer to the vehicle body panel 5 as shown in FIG. The tip of the jig 6 can be positioned in the vicinity of the first arm portion 42a where a large space is secured, and the jig 6 can be inserted smoothly.

  When the operator inserts the tip of the jig 6 into the groove 45 to some extent, the support column 41 and the pair of second arm portions 42b are positioned between the pair of tip ends of the jig 6. To come. In this state, when the operator applies a force to the jig 6 from the outside (so as to narrow the gap between the pair of tip portions), the second arm portion 42b is pushed toward the support column 41 by the jig 6, The pair of arm portions 42 are elastically deformed so as to approach the column portion 41. At this time, since the jig 6 is guided to the first inclined surface 61 whose inclination is relatively gentler than that of the second inclined surface 62, the jig 6 enters the constricted portion of the arm portion 42 as shown in FIG. It becomes a shape and it becomes difficult to remove | deviate from the 2nd arm part 42b, and the removal operation | work of the clamp 4 can be performed stably.

  When the arm portion 42 is elastically deformed to some extent, the tip surface of the jig 6 faces the contact surface 43p of the restricting block 43 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the tip surface of the jig 6 is abutted against the contact surface 43p. Thereby, the positioning of the jig 6 is realized, and in this state, by further applying force to the jig 6 from the outside (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 7), the arm portion 42 can be reliably elastically deformed.

  By operating the jig 6 as described above, the stepped portion 42 s is not caught in the mounting hole 5 h as shown in FIG. 6, so that the clamp 4 can be pulled out from the vehicle body panel 5 and removed. Thereafter, the operator removes the jig 6 from the groove 45 and completes the removal work. In this embodiment, unlike the above-described Patent Document 2, the elastic deformation of the arm portion 42 can be naturally released by simply removing the vehicle body panel 5 from the clamp 4 and pulling out the jig 6 from the groove 45. Therefore, the clamp 4 can be reused immediately without performing any special work.

  Next, another method for removing the clamp 4 using the jig 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, the operator fully inserts the tip end portion of the jig 6 into the groove 45 in the state of FIG. 5, and between the pair of tip end portions of the jig 6 and the pair of second ends. The restriction block 43 is positioned in addition to the arm portion 42b. In this state, when the operator applies a force to the jig 6 from the outside, the second arm part 42 b is pushed toward the support part 41 by the jig 6 so that the pair of arm parts 42 approaches the support part 41. It will be elastically deformed. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 8, the arm part 42 moves from the 1st position P1 to the 2nd position P2. At this time, the tip of the jig 6 located near the first inclined surface 61 is moved away from the vehicle body panel 5, and the tip of the jig 6 comes into contact with the relatively inclined second inclined surface 62. By doing so, the arm portion 42 can be effectively pushed by the jig 6 to be elastically deformed. Moreover, since the part in which the 2nd inclined surface 62 is formed is formed in the slightly thick shape as above-mentioned, mechanical strength can also be ensured.

  By operating the jig 6 as described above, the stepped portion 42s is not caught in the mounting hole 5h as shown in FIG. 8, so that the clamp 4 can be pulled out from the vehicle body panel 5 and removed.

  Since the restriction block 43 is located between the pair of tip portions of the jig 6, when the second arm portion 42 b is pushed to some extent by the jig 6, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. The tip of the jig 6 comes into contact with the regulation surface 43q of the regulation block 43, and further movement of the jig 6 toward the support column 41 is prevented. As a result, it is possible to prevent the second arm portion 42b from being excessively displaced inward by the jig 6 to be damaged. In the state shown in FIG. 8, the restriction block 43 is sandwiched by the jig 6 in contact with the tip of the second arm portion 42b, so that the distance between the tips of the second arm portion 42b is one pair of arms. It coincides with the length L of the restriction block 43 in the direction in which the portions 42 are arranged (in other words, the interval between the pair of restriction surfaces 43q) L. In this state, the shape of the arm portion 42 is set so that the stepped portion 42s is not caught in the mounting hole 5h, so that the clamp 4 can be removed from the vehicle body panel 5 smoothly.

  As described above, the connector holder 1 of the present embodiment is configured to fix the wire harness to the vehicle body panel 5. The connector holder 1 includes a support column part 41 and a pair of arm parts 42. The support column 41 is formed so as to protrude into the attachment hole 5 h formed in the vehicle body panel 5. Each arm portion 42 is connected to the column portion 41 in the vicinity of the tip of the column portion 41 and is arranged to be inclined with respect to the column portion 41. Each arm portion 42 includes a first arm portion 42a, a second arm portion 42b, and a step portion 42s. The first arm part 42 a is connected to the column part 41. The second arm part 42 b is disposed on the side farther from the first arm part 42 a when viewed from the tip of the column part 41. The step portion 42s is disposed between the first arm portion 42a and the second arm portion 42b, and can be caught in the attachment hole 5h. The arm portion 42 is elastically deformed, so that a first position P1 (FIG. 5) where the step portion 42s is caught in the attachment hole 5h and a second position P2 (FIG. 6) where the step portion 42s is removed from the attachment hole 5h. It can be moved between. In a state where the arm portion 42 is not elastically deformed, a surface of the second arm portion 42b on the side far from the support column portion 41 includes a first inclined surface 61 connected to the stepped portion 42s and a tip end of the support column portion 41. Thus, a second inclined surface 62 disposed on the side farther from the first inclined surface 61 is formed. Compared with the first inclined surface 61, the second inclined surface 62 is more inclined with respect to the protruding direction of the support column 41.

  As a result, the tip of the jig 6 is first inserted in the vicinity of the first inclined surface 61 (which can ensure a large surrounding space because the inclination is relatively loose), and then the arm portion 42 is moved from the first position P1 to the second position. It can be easily pushed and elastically deformed to the position P2. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the operation of inserting the jig 6 and removing the connector holder 1 from the vehicle body panel 5 with a simple configuration. As a result, even when the connector holder 1 is fixed at an incorrect position of the vehicle body panel 5, for example, the connector holder 1 can be easily detached from the vehicle body panel 5 and attached again at the correct position.

  Moreover, in the connector holder 1 of this embodiment, the 2nd arm part 42b has a part which thickness increases as it distances from the level | step-difference part 42s.

  Thereby, the mechanical strength of the second arm portion 42b can be secured, and the second inclined surface 62 can be easily formed on the second arm portion 42b.

  Moreover, in the connector holder 1 of this embodiment, the guide wall 44a is arrange | positioned in a pair on both sides of the support | pillar part 41. FIG. The direction in which the pair of guide walls 44a are arranged is parallel to the direction in which the arm portions 42 are arranged in a pair. A groove 45 is formed between the guide walls 44a. At least a part of the second inclined surface 62 is located inside the groove 45.

  Thereby, since it can hold | maintain in the state in which the front-end | tip of the jig | tool 6 entered the inside of the groove | channel 45, the removal operation | work of the connector holder 1 becomes still easier.

  Further, in the connector holder 1 of the present embodiment, one side of the arm portion 42 in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the arm portions 42 are arranged in a pair and the direction in which the support column 41 protrudes (in other words, the jig 6 The contact surface 43p that can come into contact with other members is disposed on the back side of the arm portion 42 in the direction in which the is inserted. The contact surface 43p closes at least a part of the groove 45.

  Thereby, the jig 6 can be positioned as shown in FIG. 7 by bringing the tip of the jig 6 placed in the groove 45 into contact with the contact surface 43p, and in this state, the second arm portion 42b is moved to the jig. By pushing with 6, the arm part 42 can be reliably elastically deformed.

  Further, the connector holder 1 of the present embodiment includes a restriction block 43. The length L of the restriction block 43 in the direction in which the arm portions 42 are arranged in a pair is equal to or less than the diameter D of the mounting hole 5h (L ≦ D). In a state where the arm portion 42 is elastically deformed to the limit restricted by the restriction block 43, the second arm portion 42 b is separated from the support column portion 41.

  Thereby, damage to the clamp 4 caused by excessive deformation of the arm portion 42 due to excessive clamping by the jig 6 can be prevented.

  Moreover, the connector holder 1 of this embodiment is provided with the base part 40 by which the groove | channel 45 is arrange | positioned. The pedestal portion 40 is formed with a tapered notch 46 whose width decreases as the groove 45 is approached.

  Accordingly, the jig 6 can be smoothly inserted into the groove 45 by applying the jig 6 to the tapered portion of the notched portion 46. As a result, the connector holder 1 can be removed from the vehicle body panel 5 more easily.

  Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above configuration can be modified as follows, for example.

  In the above embodiment, one connector holder is provided with the two connector insertion ports 3 and the two clamps 4. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of each is one or three. It can also be set as above.

  In the clamp 4, all or a part of the pedestal portion 40, the outer portion 44, and the restriction block 43 can be omitted.

  In the above embodiment, the portion of the second arm portion 42b where the second inclined surface 62 is disposed is formed such that the thickness increases as the distance from the step portion 42s increases. However, the surface on the inner side of the second arm portion 42b in the portion of the second inclined surface 62 is also inclined, so that the thickness of the second arm portion 42b becomes uniform or from the tip of the column portion 41. You may comprise so that thickness may reduce as it goes away.

  As long as the clamp 4 is provided in the connector holder 1, the shape of the connector holder main body 2 can be arbitrarily changed. The present invention can also be applied to wire harness fixtures (for example, protectors) other than the connector holder.
