Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a wire terminal protector used to protect the terminal portion of an electric wire during, for example, wire harness assembly work.

(Prior art) When assembling a wire harness, in order to prevent the core wire of the wire end exposed by peeling off the insulation coating from fraying until the terminal etc. are attached, for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in
With the wires bundled with rubber bands B, adhesive tape C is wrapped around the end portion A of the wires, including the exposed core wire, to protect them.

In addition, when a terminal is attached to the end of a wire, in order to prevent water, dust, etc. from adhering to the terminal before it is attached to a connector etc., for example, as shown in Fig. 6, The electric wires are bundled with rubber bands B, covered with a plastic bag D, and another rubber band E is placed over the bag D to protect them.

(The problem that the invention attempts to solve) However, in either the former or the latter case,
With the wires bundled with rubber band B, it is necessary to wrap adhesive tape C, cover with bag D, and fit another rubber band E, which is troublesome and takes time to protect the wire terminals. It was hot. Also,
Adhesive tape C and bag D are difficult to reuse, so they are discarded after use, but there is a problem in that it takes time and effort to dispose of them.

In the former case (protection with adhesive tape C), there are problems such as the adhesive material of adhesive tape C adhering to the insulation coating of the wire and causing stains.
In the latter case (protection with bag D), there was a problem that the terminal could not be protected against impact and the like, causing deformation of the terminal.

This invention was made to solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional technology, and its purpose is to:
To provide a protector for a wire terminal which can shorten the time required to protect the wire terminal, is reusable, and does not cause problems such as causing dirt or deforming the terminal. That's true.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above object, this invention includes a bottomed cylindrical cap portion that covers and protects the wire terminal;
It consists of a convergence part for electric wires integrally protruding in the axial direction on the open end side of the cap part, and a convergence member for electric wires provided at this convergence part and/or in the vicinity of the convergence part. It is characterized by being configured to be able to converge together with a convergence section.

(Function) For example, when protecting a wire end whose insulation coating has been stripped to expose the core wire or a wire end with a terminal attached, cover the wire end with a cap part and attach the wire with a convergence member to the convergence part. All you have to do is bundle your devices together. This can prevent the core wire from fraying. In addition, it is possible to prevent the terminal from getting wet with water or the like or from getting dusty, etc., and also to prevent the terminal from being deformed even if it is subjected to impact or the like. Furthermore, when attaching a terminal to the core wire, etc., the convergence part and the cap part can be removed, and the removed protective equipment can be used again.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Figures 1a and 1b show the first embodiment of the protective equipment of this invention. Figure 1a is a perspective view to explain the process of installing the protective equipment, and Figure 1b is a front view after installation. be. The code 1 in the figure is a protective equipment, and the wire terminal 40
A cylindrical cap portion 10 with a bottom that covers and protects the
From the convergence part 20 of the electric wire integrally protruding in the axial direction on the open end side of the cap part 10, and the convergence member 30 of the electric wire end 40 provided in the vicinity of the convergence part 20 and/or the convergence part 20. This convergence member 3
0 so that the wire terminal 40 can be converged together with the converging section 20.

In this first embodiment, the cap portion 10 is formed of synthetic resin into a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and the convergence member 3
0 is formed by a sheet fastener. A convergence part 20 is formed on the open end side of the cap part 10 in a semicircular shape by cutting out the upper half of the convergence part 20 in order to receive the pressing force of the fastener. One end portion 30a of the convergence member 30 is attached to the surface.

Therefore, in order to protect the wire terminal 40, it is only necessary to cover the wire terminal 40 with the cap part 10, cover and tighten the other end portion 30b of the convergence member 30, overlap it with the one end portion 30a, and fasten it.
Installation is easy and hassle-free, and the time required to protect the wire terminal 40 can be shortened. In addition, the inside of the cap part 10 can prevent the core wire from fraying, or water or dust from adhering to the terminal, and can also prevent the terminal from deforming even when external impact is applied. It can be prevented. Furthermore, when removing the protective equipment 1, the other end portion 30b of the convergence member 30 is removed from the one end portion 3.
The protector 1 can be used again by simply peeling it off from 0a. Therefore, unlike when using adhesive tape, there is no need to dispose of it after each use. Furthermore, the problem of adhesive material adhering to the insulation coating of the wire terminal 40 and causing stains does not occur.

Figures 2a and 3b and 3a and 3b show second and third embodiments of the protective equipment of this invention. In these second and third embodiments, the convergence member 30 is
1 and a protrusion 32 for fixing the rubber band 31, which is different from the first embodiment, but the cap part 10 is almost the same.

The protrusion 32 is erected on the convergence part 20 which is formed by integrally extending a part of the upper part of the opening end of the cap part 10 in the axial direction. After the wire terminals 40 are bundled by hanging, the wire terminals 40 are bundled by hooking them on the protrusion 32 again. The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that a rubber band 31 is attached to the cap portion 10, but the rest is the same.

FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the protective equipment of this invention. In this fourth embodiment, the convergence member 30 is
This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that it is constructed of an arcuate pressing piece with spring properties that is integrally provided with the cap section 10, but the cap section 10 is completely the same. Wire terminal 40 covered with cap part 10
When covering, the convergence member 30 is lifted up, and when the convergence member 30 is released after being covered, the convergence member 30 presses the wire end 40 into the semicircular convergence part 20 with its restoring elastic force and converges it. do.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, according to the protective device of this invention, the end of the electric wire can be reliably covered with the cap part, while the electric wire integrally protrudes in the axial direction from the open end side of the cap part. The electric wires can be tightly and extremely easily converged in the converging portion by the converging member.

Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time required to protect the wire terminals, it is reusable, and it is possible to reliably prevent problems such as causing dirt or deformation of the terminals. I can do it.
