Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention, when a wire harness is installed in a vehicle body / equipment, is to be attached to the wire harness and locked to the vehicle body / equipment so as to arrange and hold the wire harness. The present invention relates to a wire harness clamp to be used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various known examples of wire harness clamps having various shapes and structures. Among them, as a simple structure (see FIG. 3), a band-shaped holding portion 2 for holding the wire harness 10 on the outer periphery thereof. And a pair of opposing mounting plate portions 3 each having a bolt hole 4 formed by extending both ends of the holding portion 2,
There is a hugging band type structure in which the hugging portion 2 is coated with a thermoplastic elastomer 6, and after the hugging portion 2 is mounted on the wire harness 10 through the opening of the hugging portion 2, the overlapping mounting plate portion 3 is mounted on the vehicle body. By bolting and fixing the wire harness 10 to the device 7, the disposition posture of the wire harness 10 on the vehicle body / device is locked and held.

[0003]

In the above-described conventional wire harness clamp having the holding band type structure, the locking force to the wire harness 10 depends only on the holding force of the holding portion 2, so the wire harness 10 There is a case where the fixing force to the outer circumference of the wire harness is not sufficiently generated, and the wire harness 10 in the arrangement posture is
However, when an external force such as a vehicle body vibration is received, the wire harness 10
Has a problem that it easily slides with respect to the wire harness clamp 1, destroying the normal arrangement posture, and lowering the clamp function.

The present invention provides a wire harness clamp that overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A wire harness clamp of the present invention which solves the above technical problems has a "band-shaped holding portion to be held on the outer periphery of a wire harness, and both ends of the holding portion. In the wire harness clamp that extends to form a mounting portion to the vehicle body / device, on the side edge of the holding portion,
It has a structure in which a locking tongue extending along the longitudinal direction of the wire harness is integrally provided along the outer periphery of the wire harness in the embracing posture.

Then, the wire harness is put into the hugging portion and mounted on the wire harness, and then the locking tongue is tape-wound and fixed together with the wire harness, and the extending mounting portions are overlapped with each other. -It is designed to be locked to the equipment to maintain the wiring harness arrangement posture.

[0007]

In the clamp for wire harness of the retaining band type of the present invention having the above-described structure, the retaining portion to which the wire harness is fitted is sufficiently fixed to the wire harness by fixing the retaining tongue with tape. Therefore, there is no risk that the wire harness held and locked will slide due to an external force due to vehicle body vibration or the like, and the clamp function will be stable.

[0008]

Embodiments will be described in detail below based on embodiments. First, referring to FIG. 1 showing a wire harness clamp of an embodiment of the present invention, a belt-shaped plate material is bent to form a wire harness 1.
For a wire harness of a holding band type, which has a band-shaped holding portion 2 in the shape of a notch to be fitted to the outer periphery of 0, and extends both ends of the holding portion 2 to form a stackable mounting plate portion 3. In the clamp 1, the plate material of the embracing portion 2 is extended from one side edge of the embracing portion 2 so as to extend along the outer periphery of the wire harness 10 in the embracing posture and to extend slightly in the longitudinal direction of the wire harness 10. An extending locking tongue 5 is integrally provided. The covering portion 2 and the locking tongue piece 5 of this embodiment are covered with a thermoplastic elastomer coating 6.

The wire harness 1 is attached to the holding portion 2.
0 is fitted, the wire harness clamp 1 is attached to the required position of the wire harness 10, and the locking tongue 5 along the wire harness 10 is fixed and set together with the wire harness 10 by the tape winding 8, After that, the mounting bolt 9 is fitted into the bolt hole 4 of the mounting plate portion 3 and the vehicle body 7
Then, the wire harness 10 is held and locked in the disposition posture of the wire harness 10 on the vehicle body 7.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. That is, similar to the embodiment of FIG. 1, in the one having the locking tongue piece 5 extending from the embracing portion 2, in this embodiment, the lateral direction of the embracing portion 2 is changed from the both side edges of the embracing portion 2. A pair of locking tongues 5 extending symmetrically are provided, and the pair of locking tongues 5 are also fixedly set to the wire harness 10 by the tape winding 8.

The above-mentioned respective embodiments have the above-mentioned effects, and the wire harness 1 for the holding portion 2 fixed to the vehicle body is provided.
It is possible to prevent the side slip movement of 0, maintain the normal arrangement posture of the wire harness 10, and stabilize the clamp function.

[0012]

As described above, the wire harness clamp of the present invention has a band-shaped holding portion to be held on the outer periphery of the wire harness as a main part, and has a locking and fixing property to the wire harness. There is an effect of improving the arrangement of the wire harness to prevent the wire harness from being collapsed and stabilizing the clamp function of the wire harness.
