 The present invention relates to a binding portion of a flat cable, which is used for, for example, in-vehicle wiring of an automobile and is used by binding a plurality of sheets.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, flat cables are often used by stacking a plurality of them, and in order to maintain the stacked state, as shown in FIG. 5, the entire circumference of a plurality of flat cables 1 is wrapped with adhesive tape 2. By using a clip band 3 as shown in FIG. 6, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-44888, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-174819, and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-187382. A binding method for binding as shown in FIG. 7 is known.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in these conventional examples, it is necessary to prepare the adhesive tape 2 and the clip band 3 as separate members for binding the flat cable 1, and it takes time to assemble them. There is a problem.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a flat cable binding portion that can easily and reliably bind a plurality of flat cables by a simple means.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve the above object, the flat cable bundling portion according to the present invention extends from an insulating layer to a side edge of one flat cable when a plurality of flat cables are stacked and bound. The present invention is characterized by forming a binding band and binding the other flat cable by the binding band.

[0006]

[Action]

 The flat cable bundling portion having the above-described configuration forms a binding band on the side edge of one flat cable, and uses this binding band to bind the other flat cables.

[0007]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state after binding a plurality of flat cables of the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state before binding them. A binding band 13 is formed on one side edge of the lowermost flat cable 11a so as to extend on one side or both sides of the insulating layers 12 on both sides of the flat cable 11a. Concave and convex portions 13a having a corrugated cross-section are continuously provided on both sides of the binding band 13, and the binding flat cable 11 is attached to the tip of the binding band 13 for attaching to a vehicle body panel of an automobile or the like. Mounting hole 13b is provided.

A rectangular projecting piece 14 extending from the insulating layer 12 is also formed on the other side edge of the binding band 13 of the same flat cable 11 a facing each other, and the binding band 13 is attached to this projecting piece 14. A rectangular locking hole 14a for inserting is provided. On the other hand, one side edge of the other flat cable 11b is formed with a recess 12a into which the tying band 13 is inserted to facilitate alignment when stacking a plurality of flat cables at the time of tying, and the other side of the flat cable 11b. A concave portion 12b having a concave shape into which the protruding piece 14 is inserted is formed on the side edge.

When binding the flat cables 11a, 11b, ... With such a configuration, the flat cable 11a is first placed on the lowermost layer, and another flat cable 11b is superposed on the flat cable by an appropriate number. Next, the binding band 13 and the projecting piece 14 are raised so as to be housed in the recesses 12a and 12b, respectively, and the tip of the binding band 13 is bent along the surface of the flat cable 11b of the uppermost layer so that the projecting piece 14 is formed. Insert through the locking hole 14a. When the binding band 13 is pulled while holding the tip of the projecting piece 14, the uneven portion 13a of the binding band 13 is locked to the edge of the sandwiching piece 14 so that the flat cables 11a, 11b ,. Be united.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state after binding the flat cables of the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state before binding them. Here, binding bands 23 and 24 of the same shape extending from the insulating layer 22 are formed on both side edges of the bottom flat cable 21a, and uneven portions 23a and 24a are formed along these surfaces. Circular holes 23b and 24b for attaching the bound flat cable to the vehicle body panel are formed at the tips of the binding bands 23 and 24. Further, projecting pieces 25, 26 having the same shape are formed on both side edges of the other flat cable 21b at positions corresponding to the binding bands 23, 24 extending from the insulating layer 22. Locking holes 25a, 26a are provided in the.

When binding such flat cables 21a, 21b, ..., First, the flat cable 21a is placed on the lowermost layer, the binding bands 23, 24 are raised, and then the other flat cables 21b are engaged. The binding bands 23 and 24 are inserted into the stop holes 25a and 26a, respectively, and a suitable number of layers are stacked. Finally, when the binding bands 23, 24 are opened on both sides and the flat cable 21b is tightened, the uneven portions 23a, 24a formed on the binding band 13 are locked to the edges of the locking holes 25a, 26a, and the flat cable 21a, 21b ... are bound together.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, since the flat cable bundling portion according to the present invention has the binding band extending from the insulating layer formed on the side edge of one flat cable, it is not necessary to prepare another bundling portion, so You can reduce the score.
