Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a tube protector for centralized piping in automobiles.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of tube protector is
For example, there is a "tube clamp" filed by the present applicant in Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-53181, which has a plurality of retaining grooves into which tubes are fitted on the upper surface of the clamp body, which is fixed to a predetermined position on the vehicle body. On the other hand, a lid for covering the holding groove is attached to one side of the clamp body so as to be openable and closable via an integral hinge, and a lid body for covering the holding groove is attached to the other side of the clamp body and an opening/closing tip of the lid body. are formed with locking pawls that engage with each other.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] Since this clamp body has a plurality of holding grooves formed in its upper surface arranged in parallel, the width of the clamp body inevitably becomes large. In order to arrange it in the width direction, space may be difficult, and an improvement is required.

The present invention has been developed in view of these points, and the space required in the vehicle width direction is reduced by allowing the tubes to be stacked and held and reducing the width dimension of the tube protector. The purpose is to narrow the range and expand the degree of freedom in designing the car body.

[Means for solving problems]

To this end, the present invention forms a plurality of first holding grooves into which the tubes are fitted on the upper surface of the protector main body that is fixed at a predetermined position on the vehicle body, and on the other hand, the first holding grooves are formed on one side of the protector main body. A lid body for covering the protector is attached to be openable and closable via a thin hinge, and locking portions that lock each other are formed on the other side of the protector body and the rotating end side of the lid body, and , a plurality of second holding grooves into which the tubes are fitted are formed on the inner surface of the lid on the side that covers the first holding groove, so that the tubes can be held in an overlapping manner.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a tube protector molded from synthetic resin, and the upper surface of the protector body 2 of the tube protector 1 has a plurality of first tubes 3 into which tubes 3 such as fuel tubes, electric wires, cables, etc. are fitted. A holding groove 4 is formed.

A lid 5 for covering the first holding groove 4 is attached to one side of the protector body 2 so as to be openable and closable via a thin hinge 6, and the other side of the protector body 2 and the lid 5 A locking portion that locks each other is formed on the rotation end side of each.

This locking portion includes, for example, a locking claw 71 and a locking claw 7.
2 combination, or the locking claw 73 and the locking hole 74
There are combinations of

Further, on the inner surface of the lid body 5 on the side that covers the first holding groove 4, a plurality of second holding grooves 8 into which the tubes 3 are fitted are formed as described above. FIG. 2 shows that the tube 3 is fitted into the first and second holding grooves 4 and 8, and then,
The lid 5 is rotated toward the protector main body 2 (clockwise in the figure) using the thin hinge 6 as a rotation fulcrum, and the locking hole 74 on the lid 5 side and the locking claw 73 on the protector main body 02 side are connected. This figure shows a state in which a plurality of tubes 3 are held in a stacked manner, and the widthwise dimension W of the tube protector 1 is smaller than that of the conventional tube protector 1.
It is clear that it will be shorter.

Note that this tube protector 1 is fixed to the vehicle body with appropriate stopping means (not shown).

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, the tubes can be stacked and held, and the width dimension of the tube protector is reduced, reducing the space required in the vehicle width direction, which increases the degree of freedom in designing the vehicle body. It can be expanded.
