As a hole 22.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the substrate 11 has a flat rectangular shape. The substrate 11 is preferably formed of a lightweight material such as plastic or wood. In the case of this embodiment, the holes 22 as the wire rod mounting portions are formed at the four corners of the substrate 11.

  Two types of long and short wires 20 are prepared. The two wire rods on the side closer to the worker are long, and the two wire rods 20 on the far side are set short. One end of the wire 20 is inserted through the hole 22 of the substrate 11 from the front surface to the back surface, and is locked to the substrate 11 on the back surface side so as not to come out to the front surface side. A carabiner 24 is provided at the other end of the wire 20. By opening and closing the carabiner 24, as shown in FIG. 4, the substrate 11 can be easily suspended from the traveling member 26 traveling on the track disposed in the air or on the ceiling. Moreover, since the length of the wire 20 is different, when the board | substrate 11 is suspended from the traveling member 26, the board | substrate 11 inclines toward the operator side. By adjusting the length of the wire 20, the inclination angle of the substrate 11 can be adjusted.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the bar holding groove 14 is formed to extend from one end of the substrate 11 to the other end. The bar holding groove 14 is formed in an extending shape that follows the wiring shape to a vehicle or the like. As shown in FIG. 2, the bar holding groove 14 has a substantially semicircular cross section capable of holding an approximately half region of the cross section of the bar 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the bar holding groove 14 is formed in a size that can be reliably held by press-fitting the bar 12.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the exterior material holding groove 18 extends from one end of the substrate to the other end and is formed outside the bar holding groove 14 on the same line as the bar holding groove 14. As shown in FIG. 3, the exterior material holding groove 18 holds the corrugated tube 16 attached to the bar 12. As shown in FIG. 3, the exterior material holding groove 18 is set to a size that can be reliably held by press-fitting a corrugated tube 16 in which the bar 12 is housed. For this reason, the exterior material holding groove has a substantially semicircular cross section capable of holding an area slightly larger than approximately half of the cross sectional shape of the corrugated tube 16. That is, the central angle in the cross section of the exterior material holding groove 18 is set slightly larger than 180 degrees. As a result, the corrugated tube 16 is held in an area of more than half of the cross section by the exterior material holding groove 18, so that it does not fall off even if the substrate 11 is tilted.

  The central angle of the cross section of the exterior material holding groove 18 may be 180 degrees or less, and a drop-off preventing piece or the like for preventing the corrugated tube 16 from falling off may be provided as a separate member.

  A working hole 32 for performing a bundling operation with a band clip 30 (see FIG. 5) is formed in a partial region of the rod material holding groove 14 and the exterior material holding groove 18 in the substrate 11. The working hole 32 is formed so as to penetrate the substrate 11 across the bar holding groove 14 and the exterior material holding groove 18 corresponding to the place where the band clip 30 is attached to the corrugated tube 16.

The wire harness assembling work using the bar holding plate 10 of this embodiment will be described.

The corrugated tube 16 can be attached to the bar 12 by moving the corrugated tube 16 so that the bar 12 passes through the corrugated tube 16. When the attachment of the corrugated tube 16 is completed, the corrugated tube 16 containing the bar 12 is pushed into the exterior material holding groove 18 and held.

  Next, the band clip 30 is bound to a necessary portion of the corrugated tube 16 using the working hole 32 (see FIG. 5).

  The bar holding plate 10 on which the corrugated tube 16 is completely attached is removed from the traveling member 26. On the bar holding plate 10, a corrugated tube 16 containing the bar 12 is held in an exterior material holding groove 18. In order to further secure this holding state, the two longer wires 20 are hung to the back side of the substrate 11, and the end portion is fixed to the back surface of the substrate 11 while the corrugated tube 16 is pressed. As a result, the corrugated tube 16 containing the bar 12 is securely fixed by the wire 20 after being held in the exterior material holding groove 18.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of bar holding plates 10 fixed by the wire 20 are collectively stored in a transport box 34 and shipped.

  According to the configuration of the bar holding plate 10 of the present embodiment described above, the bar 12 is held in the bar holding groove 14 of the bar holding plate 10 and the bar holding plate 10 is conveyed, whereby the bar The material 12 can be supplied to the wire harness assembly working unit without being deformed.

  Further, the bar 12 can be easily moved by suspending the bar holding plate 10 on the track by the wire 20 mounted on the substrate 11.

  Further, the corrugated tube 16 can be attached to the bar 12 while the bar holding plate 10 is suspended, and it is not necessary to install the bar holding plate 10 on the work table. Thereby, conveyance of the bar 12 and mounting | wearing of the corrugated tube 16 can be performed continuously, and a wire harness assembly operation becomes easy.

  According to the configuration of the bar holding plate 10 of the present embodiment, the bar holding plate 10 can be used as a packing material for the bar 12. As a result, a plurality of the bar holding plates 10 in which the corrugated tubes 16 attached to the bar 12 are fixed to the substrate 11 by the wire 20 can be accommodated in the transfer box 34 and transferred.
