Reference numeral 10 in the figure prevents the rattling of the locking head 3 in the locking posture by pressing the locking head 3 into the locking hole 7 and pressing it to the peripheral edge of the locking hole 7. It is a known pressure contact piece.

[0003]

In the above-described conventional clamp for a winding band type wire harness, the winding band 1 is vertically installed with the base end below the box type band insertion locking portion 2. Since it has the structure described above, when it is attached to the wire harness 5 and the locking head 3 in the protruding posture is locked in the locking hole 7, the band insertion locking portion 2 is provided between the wire harness 5 and the wall plate 6. The “arrangement distance L of the wire harness 5 with respect to the wall plate 6” from the wall plate 6 to the center of the wire harness 5 is increased by an amount corresponding to the thickness of the band insertion locking portion 2, An unnecessary space remains between the upper edge of the wall 5 and the wall plate 6.

Therefore, in the case where the other member 11 is arranged under the wire harness 5 which is arranged and locked on the wall plate 6, the clearance C between the wire harness 5 and the other member is reduced. There is a possibility that the wire harness 5 and the other member 11 may interfere with each other due to a shortage and vibration of the vehicle body running. Therefore, the shape and layout of the other member 11 near the arrangement route of the wire harness 5 may be changed, or There are cases where troublesome problems such as changing the arrangement route of the wire harness 5 occur, and the degree of freedom in arranging the wire harness 5 and the degree of freedom in arranging the other member 11 near the arrangement route of the wire harness 5 are lacking. Further, there is a problem that the space for disposing the wire harness 5 on the vehicle body or the like is enlarged due to the existence of the dead space.

The present invention provides a winding band type wire harness clamp which solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.

A winding band type wire harness clamp including a winding band that can be wound around the outer periphery of the wire harness below the stop and a band insertion locking portion that inserts and locks the winding band. The band insertion locking portion is separated and provided below the base portion of the locking head, and the band insertion opening of the band insertion locking portion and the base end portion of the winding band are arranged in opposite positions. It has a "structure".

[0007]

Since the winding band-type wire harness clamp of the present invention having the above-described structure has a structure in which the winding band and the band insertion locking portion are separately disposed so as to face each other, the winding band is attached to the wire harness. When the wire harness is wrapped around, the apex part of the wire harness is directly bonded to the proximal end part of the wrapping band and the locking head base part existing between the band insertion opening of the band insertion locking part, or in a form close to the locking head base part. Can be wrapped around and fixed.

Therefore, when the locking head is locked to the vehicle body / equipment, there is no dead space between the upper edge of the wire harness that is arranged and locked and the vehicle body / equipment side. Trouble caused by the lengthening of the installation distance L is solved, the degree of freedom in arranging the wire harness in the vehicle body / device and the degree of freedom in arranging other members near the wire harness installation route are improved, and The arrangement of the wire harness will be made smaller and more compact due to the absence of the wasted space.
