Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a clamp structure for holding, for example, a harness, a cable, a hose or the like in a vehicle body.

[Prior art]

For example, when fixing a harness or the like to an appropriate place in an automobile body, a clamp member as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is conventionally used.

In the clamp member 1, as shown in the figure, one end of a metal plate-like piece 2 is bent into an L shape and attached to the main body 3 by bolts, spot welding or the like. And
The other end of the plate-shaped piece 2 is bent so as to wrap the harness 4, and the harness 4 is attached to the main body 3.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the conventional clamp structure as described above, the bending of the plate-like piece 2 is left to the manual work of each worker, and the bending of the plate-like piece 2 is on the same axis 5 which is substantially perpendicular to the main body 3. Therefore, the other end of the plate-shaped piece 2 comes into contact with the fixed part side of the plate-shaped piece 2 itself, and the harness 4
The plate-shaped piece 2 cannot be completely bent and pressed down so as to surely hold.

Further, in the case where the plate-like piece 2 cannot be completely bent as described above, when holding a harness, a cable, or the like, which tends to have a large diameter in recent years, the harness or the cable itself bends the elastic piece. The resulting plate-shaped piece 2 itself opens again.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a clamp structure that allows a plate-like piece to be securely and sufficiently bent to easily and securely attach a strip such as a harness having relatively large elasticity to an appropriate place on the base. Is to provide.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

To achieve the above object, the main means adopted by the present invention is to fix one end of a plate-shaped piece to a base and to wrap the other end of the plate-shaped piece into a strip. In the clamp structure for bending and holding the plate-shaped piece, the other end of the plate-shaped piece is located at both edges in the width direction on the other side of the plate-shaped piece, which are inclined with respect to the axis of the other side and correspond to each other. A notch is provided so that the side can be bent in a spiral shape so as to wrap the strip, and after the other end of the plate-shaped piece is bent, the other end of the plate is locked at a position where both widthwise edges of the plate can face each other. It is a clamp structure according to the point that the engaging groove is provided.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings to provide an understanding of the present invention. It should be noted that the following embodiments are examples of embodying the present invention and are not of the nature to limit the technical scope of the present invention.

Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a clamp member constituting a clamp structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a clamp member according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3A is a front view, FIG. 3B is a side view, and FIG. 3 shows a state in which a harness is held by using the clamp member, and FIG. 3A is a perspective view and FIG. b) is a side view,
FIG. 6C is a perspective view of the A arrow portion in FIG.

In the clamp member 6 constituting the clamp structure according to this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a metal plate-shaped piece 7 is bent into a substantially U-shape when viewed from the side. An attachment hole 7 _b for attaching the clamp member 6 to the base 8 is formed at one end 7 _a of the strip 7. The clamp member 6 is attached to the base 8 by bolts, spot welding or the like using the mounting holes 7 _b.

The point to be noted here is that the axis 9 on the other end side of the plate-like piece 7 is
Is inclined with respect to the base 8 toward the axial direction of the harness 10 wrapped by the plate-like piece 7, that is, both widthwise edges of the other end of the plate-like piece 7 That is, a plurality of cutouts 7 _c are provided in the corresponding portion that is inclined with respect to the axis 9 on the other end side.

This is done by the clamp member 6, for example, the harness 10.
This is because when the (strip) is held, the other end side of the plate-shaped piece 7 can be easily bent while being guided in a spiral shape so as to wrap the harness 10. Therefore, the inclination degree (inclination pitch) of the axis line 9 may be set to a value substantially equal to the width dimension b of the plate-shaped piece 7. Further, locking engaging grooves 7 _d , 7 _d are formed at upper and lower end portions on the other end side of the plate-like piece 7 and at positions which can face each other when the plate-like piece 7 is spirally bent. It is set up.

The clamp member 6 according to the present embodiment is configured as described above.

Therefore, using the clamp member 6, for example, the harness 10
When mounting a first, even the end portion 7 _a of the clamp member 6 to an appropriate position on the base 8 is mounted by spot welding.

The harness 10 is attached to the other end of the plate-like piece 7 of the clamp member 6, and the other end of the plate-like piece 7 is attached to the harness.
Folded in a spiral shape to wrap around 10. In this case, since the axis 9 on the other end side of the plate-like piece 7 is inclined with respect to the base 8 as described above, the other end side of the plate-like piece 7 can be twisted without twisting. It can be easily bent in a spiral shape along the longitudinal direction, and the other end of the plate-shaped piece 2 is the plate-shaped piece 2 itself as in the case of the conventional clamp member 1 (see FIG. 5). It does not come into contact with the fixed part side of. As a result, in the structure of the present embodiment, the plate-like piece 7 can be surely bent sufficiently to hold the harness 10 easily and surely. Further, since the plate-like piece 7 can be sufficiently bent as described above, it is possible to securely hold a strip body such as a large-diameter harness having relatively large elasticity.

Since the notches _7c are provided on both sides of the plate-like piece 7 like the clamp member 6 according to the present embodiment, the bending work by the operator is facilitated as described above, and at the same time, the bending work is performed. It is possible to reduce the degree of variation in the bending angle.

Further, since the engaging groove 7 _d are provided on both sides of the plate-shaped piece 7 as described above, after the bent spirally in such a manner as to wrap the harness 10 by the plate-shaped piece 7, the engagement groove By engaging 7 _{d with} each other, it is possible to prevent the clamp member 6 from being opened, and it is possible to more reliably hold the strip having even greater elasticity.

It should be noted that the clamp member 6'according to another embodiment shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B has one end corresponding to the case where the base (not shown) to which the clamp member 6'is attached is inclined. The part _7a is formed by inclining in advance.

[Effect of device]

As described above, the present invention provides a clamp structure in which one end of a plate-like piece is fixed to a base, and the other end of the plate-like piece is bent and held so as to wrap the strip. The other end side of the plate-like piece can be spirally bent so as to wrap the above-mentioned strip at a portion corresponding to both edges in the width direction on the other end side and inclined with respect to the axis line of the other end side. And a lock engaging groove is provided at a position where both edges of the plate-like piece in the width direction at the other end can be opposed to each other after the other end of the plate-like piece is bent. Therefore, even a strip of a harness or the like having a relatively large elasticity can be easily and surely arranged by twisting the flat portion in the longitudinal direction of the strip without twisting the strip, and the bending angle can be varied. Without bending, bend it well and attach it easily and securely to an appropriate place on the base. (Lock) can be.
