[Problems to be solved by the device]

 (Problem) However, when the electric wire is attached by the above-mentioned conventional clip, the electric wire is slack between the clips, which hinders the attachment of the other device 5, or the other attached device 5 and the attached body 4 are There was a problem that it could be sandwiched between them and cause disconnection or short circuit.

(Explanation of Problems) Since it is known where the electric wire 3 to be attached to the attached body 4 using the clip 1 is for connecting the electric wire 3 and the electric wire 3 to each other, the electric wire 3 is cut to a length suitable for the electric wire 3. Has been done. However, it is usually cut longer with a slight margin in consideration of machining errors in other parts, not just the exact length. Therefore, when the mounting feet 1-3 are mounted in the mounting holes of the mounted body 4, the electric wire 3 between the clips 1 may sag as shown in FIG.

Although there is a case where the electric wire 3 is considered to be slack and the mounting device 5 is designed to be mounted between the clips 1 beside the electric wire 3, if the slackening occurs as described above, the mounting device 5 Is an obstacle to the installation. In addition, an installation worker may forcibly attach the attachment device 5 to the attached body 4 while holding the electric wire 3 on the back side of the attachment device 5. In such a case, the force at the time of installation may cause wire breakage or the coating may be peeled off, resulting in a short circuit. Even if it does not occur at the time of installation, the friction and the pressing force due to the vibration while the vehicle is running are continuously applied, so that a wire break or short circuit may occur later. The present invention aims to solve the above problems.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the clip of the present invention is provided with a pair of left and right extending arm portions for fixing the linear body along a line, and is provided at a right angle from an intermediate position between the pair of arm portions and And a base portion provided with a central cut portion for allowing the pair of arm portions to bend to the left and right.

[0010]

[Work]

 A clip structure for attaching a linear body such as an electric wire to an attached body such as a vehicle body is provided with a pair of left and right extending arm portions for fixing the linear body along the middle of the pair of arm portions. And a base portion provided with a central cut portion for allowing the pair of arm portions to bend to the left and right. Then, when the linear body is fixed to the arm, it is slackened between the fixing positions in the clip and fixed.

By adjusting the opening degree of the central cut portion, it is possible to appropriately extend the linear body slackened in the clip and adjust the distance between the clips attached to the linear body. Therefore, the clips can be attached in accordance with a predetermined attachment interval L on the attached body without sagging the linear body between the clips.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing a clip of the present invention. Reference numerals correspond to those of FIG. 6, 1-4 is a linear body accommodating portion, and 1-5 is a central cut portion. 1A is a front view and FIG. 1B is a side view. The linear body accommodating part 1-4 has a free end at the upper end facing the plane of the arm 1-1, and a lower end integrally formed with the base part 1-2, and has a curved shape erected from it. There is.

The structure is different from the conventional clip in that a center notch 1-5 is provided substantially above the root of the base 1-2 so that the clip 1 can bend from the center to the left and right. The point is that the linear-body accommodating portion 1-4 capable of accommodating the electric wire in a slack state is provided in the center. The bottom of the linear-body accommodating part 1-4 should be located below the position of the electric wire attached to the arm 1-1.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a method of accommodating the electric wire 3 in the linear body accommodating portion 1-4. Since the upper end is a free end, the electric wire 3 is placed in the gap between the upper end and the surface of the arm 1-1, and is pushed in the direction of the arrow to be housed in the linear body housing 1-4. Can be done. The free end is made to perform a snap operation in which the electric wire bends when pushed in and returns to its original state after being pushed in.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the clip 1 of the present invention is attached to the electric wire 3. The electric wire 3 is fixed to the clip 1 by the tape 2 after the electric wire 3 is slackened so as to be located at the bottom of the linear body accommodating portion 1-4 provided at the center. That is, the electric wire 3 was not slackened in the clip 1 in the past, but is slackened in the clip 1 in the present invention. The reason why it was not slackened in the past is that if it is fixed to the clip 1 with the tape 2 in a slackened state, the distance between the clips 1 becomes short, and the mounting feet 1-3 are attached to the mounting holes of the mounted body. It was not possible to fit in.

FIG. 4 is a view showing a slack state of the electric wire 3 attached to the attached body 4 by the clip 1 of the present invention. The reference numerals correspond to those in FIG. The clip 1 surrounded by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 4 shows the one shown in FIG. 3, but only the electric wire 3 is shown here in order to avoid complication of the drawing. When the clip 1 is attached to the electric wire 3, the distance between the clips 1 is set to be a predetermined distance (attachment interval L of the attached body 4) or slightly shorter than that. In other words, the lengthened portion with a margin is slackened by the linear body accommodating portion 1-4 of the clip 1 and absorbed.

When such a clip 1 is attached to the attached body 4 and the distance between the clips 1 is exactly equal to the attachment interval L, the clip 1 is in the state shown in FIG. 3 (that is, the center cut). (Parts 1-5 are not opened to the left and right). If the distance between the clips 1 is slightly shorter than the attachment interval L, open the central notch 1-5 to the left and right and extend the slack electric wire 3 in the linear body accommodating portion 1-4. Install. By doing so, the distance between the clips 1 becomes larger by the amount of extension, so that the respective mounting feet 1-3 can be successfully fitted into the corresponding mounting holes of the mounted body 4.

FIG. 5 is a view showing a state where the central notch 1-5 is opened by the clip of the present invention. The reference numerals correspond to those in FIG. When the central cut portion 1-5 is opened to the left and right, the electric wire 3 that is slack in the linear body accommodation portion 1-4 extends as a pin. Since the electric wire 3 advances to the left and right as much as it extends, the distance between the adjacent clip 1 becomes large. Therefore, it is possible to absorb the dimensional inconsistency caused by an error in work or work by appropriately extending the slack in the linear body accommodating portion 1-4. As can be seen from the above, the length of slack in the clip 1 may be such that it can absorb the maximum error expected in the work or work.

Since the electric wire 3 does not sag between the clips 1, when the attachment device 5 that is supposed to be attached in the vicinity of the electric wire 3 is attached, it interferes with the attachment or is placed between the attached body 4 and the attached body 4. It will not get pinched.

In the above example, the example in which the linear-body accommodating portion 1-4 is provided has been described, but this may not necessarily be provided. The wire accommodating part 1-4 is for ensuring the free movement of the linear body in the clip and for preventing the slackened part from adversely affecting nearby devices. is there. Therefore, there is no risk that the slackened part will come into contact with other devices due to vibration and the like, and will not have an adverse effect, or that the expansion depending on the opening degree of the central cut part 1-5 will not be impaired. The wire used for the clip need not be provided with the wire accommodating portion 1-4.

[0021]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the clip of the present invention is provided with a pair of left and right extending arm portions for fixing the linear body along the side thereof, and at a right angle from an intermediate position between the pair of arm portions, and It has a structure with a base with a central notch to allow the arm to bend to the left and right.When fixing the linear body to the arm, loosen between the fixing positions in the clip. I fixed it.

Therefore, by adjusting the opening degree of the central notch, it becomes possible to adjust the distance between the clips attached to the linear body without sagging the linear body between the clips, and the linear body is The slack no longer interferes with other attached devices or breaks the wire.
