Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a cable fixing / rotating clip that holds a plurality of load transmitting cables, and more particularly to a clip in which a holding portion that holds the cables rotates in accordance with the movement of the cables.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In automobiles and the like, cables in which steel wires are covered with resin are used as power transmission means and load transmission means. These cables are used, for example, as movable elements such as accelerator cables, sunroofs, and blind curtains that cover windows, and are arranged between vehicle body panels. For these cables, as a countermeasure against tapping noise between the cables or tapping sound between the cable and other parts, the crossing parts of the cables are fixed with a cable band, or a cushioning material such as a pad is adhered.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when the pad is used as a countermeasure against the hitting sound of the cable, the crossing position of the cable may be displaced due to a mounting error on the cable side, so it is necessary to additionally bond the pad to some extent. Also, when fixing cables with cable bands, if they are tightened excessively, the movement of the cables will be restricted and the operating force will change, or the cable band will have some length, so there will be no excess. In addition, the number of work steps such as cutting the part in consideration of the tapping sound from the band end increases, resulting in higher cost and lower work efficiency.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In view of this, the present invention has a first holding portion that holds one cable, a second holding portion that holds the other cable, and a connecting portion that is formed in each holding portion and engages with each other. A cable fixing rotating clip in which the first holding portion and the second holding portion are rotatably supported by the connecting portion is used for fixing the cable.

[0005]

[Action]

 Since the first holding part for holding each cable and the second holding part are rotatably supported by the connecting parts provided respectively, the respective holding parts rotate according to the movement of the cable, and the movement of the cable is impossible. Tolerate without.

[0006]

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a cable fixed rotating clip (hereinafter referred to as “clip”). The clip 1 is used for fixing a cable group 2 for driving an electric sunshade or the like (not shown) arranged in the vehicle compartment. The cable group 2 is a flexible cable in which a steel wire is provided in a soft resin pipe, and as shown in FIG. 7, wiring is performed by partially intersecting between the inner 3a and the outer 3b of the roof panel 3. Has been done. The clip 1 is attached to the intersections A and B of the cable group 2.

The clip 1 includes a first holding portion 4 that holds the cables 2 a of the cable group 2, a second holding portion 5 that holds the cable 2 b, and a connecting portion 6 that rotatably supports the holding portions 4 and 5. It consists of and.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first holding portion 4 and the second holding portion 5 are sleeves having a C-shaped cross section having openings 7 and 8 in one direction, and extend in the cable longitudinal direction. There is. The openings 7 and 8 have a smaller diameter than the diameter of the cables 2a and 2b, and guide portions 4a and 5a that are wider than the openings are integrally formed on both side edges of the openings 7 and 8.

The connecting portion 6 is arranged on the central peripheral surfaces 4 b and 5 b of the holding portions 4 and 5 at positions facing the openings 7 and 8 of the first holding portion 4 and the second holding portion 5, respectively. A boss portion 6A and a receiving portion 6B are formed inside thereof.

The boss portion 6A has a head portion 6a having an umbrella shape as shown in FIG. 4, and is integrally formed on the peripheral surface 5b. The receiving portion 6B is a hole reaching the inner peripheral surface 4c of the holding portion and having a diameter smaller than that of the head portion 6a, and a step portion 6b having a diameter slightly larger than that of the head portion 6a is formed inside the receiving portion 6B. The boss portion 6A is loosely fitted so that the holding portions 4 and 5 are freely rotatable, and the openings 7 and 8 are respectively positioned vertically and rearward. The receiving portion 6B and the boss portion 6A are fitted to each other by thermally deforming the boss portion 6A immediately before the holding portions 4 and 5 are cooled and before being cooled.

When the clip 1 thus configured is used at the intersection A shown in FIG. 7, first, the support portion 4 is attached to the cable 2a. When mounted, the cable 2a is pressed against the guide portion 4a. Then, the opening 4 a is elastically deformed and pushed out, and the cable 2 a is elastically held in the holding portion 4. In this way, after holding the cable 2a on one side of the clip 1, the cable 2b is pushed into the holding portion 5 to elastically hold both cables.

At this time, since the holding portions 4 and 5 are rotatably supported, the clip 1 can be installed in accordance with the directions of the cables 2a and 2b, and the cables 2a and 2b can be attached without applying excessive force. Will hold. Further, even if the positions and angles at which the cables intersect with each other are changed by adjusting the cables 2a and 2b and a sun shard (not shown), the holding portions 4 and 5 rotate according to the angle, and the cable 2a , 2b can be moved, so once it is attached to the cable, fine adjustment becomes unnecessary. Further, since the clip 1 can be attached only by pushing the cables 2a and 2b into the holding portions 4 and 5, attachment / detachment work when the cable is camouflaged is improved.

The clip 1 in the present embodiment has been described in the mode of being used at the intersection A where only the cable 2b intersects the cable 2a, but the cable group 2 includes, for example, the intersection shown in FIG. As in B, there is a portion where the cable 2a crosses the two cables 2b and 2c.

In order to hold the cable group 2 in such a state, the clip 1 is attached to each combination of the cables 2a and 2b and the cables 2a and 2c, or as shown in FIG. It is possible to accommodate the holding portion 8 corresponding to the cable 2c by juxtaposing the holding portion 5 with the holding portion 8. In this case, the holding portion 8 can be formed integrally with the holding portion 5, and the boss portion 6A can be formed at the center of both portions to correspond to the holding portion 4. In short, it is essential that the holding parts that hold the intersecting cables be rotatably supported.

In this embodiment, the clip 1 is attached to the cable group provided in the roof panel, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the clip 1 can be applied to an accelerator cable or the like.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, since a clip having a holding portion rotatably supported is attached to a plurality of cables intersecting with each other, it is possible to reduce the work process for the countermeasure against the tapping sound of the cables, and to suppress the cost increase. You can
