BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wire harness device used for connecting an electric circuit of an automobile, and more specifically, it is constructed by arranging a main part of a wire harness composed of a plurality of cables in parallel in a flat shape. The present invention relates to improvement of a wire harness device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a wire harness device used in an electric circuit of an automobile of this type has a main part of a wire harness composed of a plurality of respective cables, which is wound in a tape and bundled to form a bundle. Individual cables are drawn out from the parts and connection connectors for connection are attached to the ends.In the usual case, the trunk part of each cable bundled in this way is placed between the frames of the automobile. , After connecting the panels to each other in a relatively narrow space such as inside the car shell and fixing them appropriately, and then connecting the connectors of the respective cables derived from the trunk line to the corresponding electrical equipment. I am trying to connect to the circuit part.

Here, in the wire harness in which the trunk portions of each of the plurality of cables are bundled, the outer shape of the trunk portion inevitably swells and becomes large as the bundle is gathered. It is by no means easy to arrange the panels in a limited space such as inside each panel or inside the car shell, and such a disadvantage becomes even more apparent when the number of electrical components installed in the interior increases as recently. The disadvantage is that

Therefore, in order to improve such inconvenience, in the prior art, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-51707.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. JP-A-2003-264, as a wire harness device applied to a door device of an automobile, there has been proposed a structure means for maintaining and holding a trunk portion of the wire harness on a mounting plate in a flat shape. Is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the wire harness device 40 according to the already proposed proposal is such that the trunk portion of the wire harness 41 is closely arranged in parallel on the mounting plate 42 so that the bonding agent and the bonding tape are flat. Etc., and each individual cable unit 41a to 41e is distributed from the main line portion correspondingly to the corresponding location and led out, and then the end connectors 43a to 43e are attached to the respective tip portions, and the tape on the base end side, etc. A collective connector 44 is provided on the cable bundle 41b wound in a batch with the cable bundle 41b.
A grommet 45 as a waterproof portion is arranged on b.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, a door device 50 of an automobile has a door inner panel 51 provided on the inner surface side and a door trim (cover plate) which is combined with the door inner panel 51 and covers the inside. 52, and the mounting plate 42 of the wire harness device 40, that is, the mounting plate 42 in which the main line portions of the cables are arranged side by side in a flat shape, in this case, on the inner surface side of the door trim 52. Each cable unit 4 is fitted and fixed in the mounting hole 52a formed with an opening by using a fastener or the like as appropriate.
1a, 41b, 41c end connector 43a, 43b,
43c is an electric component installed in the door trim 52,
Here, the step lamp 61, the trunk open switch 62, the power window switch 63, etc. are connected to each other.

The door trim 52 having the wire harness device 40 mounted thereon is combined and coupled to the door inner panel 51 after the mounting. At this time, the work holes 51a formed in the door inner panel 51 are formed.
Through the end portions connectors 43d and 43e of the remaining cable units 41d and 41e, respectively, to the individual electric components housed in the door device 50, here, the power window motor 6
4, the cable bundle 41b is taken out from the take-out hole 50a through the grommet 45 by similarly connecting to the auto door lock solenoid 65.

[0008]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional wire harness device for automobiles, the trunk portion of each cable is simply placed side by side in a flat flat shape with the bonding agent, bonding tape, etc. Since the mounting plate is fixed to the mounting plate surface and the mounting plate is fixed to a predetermined portion of the vehicle body as it is in this state, a bonding agent is used in which each cable here is formed in a flat shape. , A lot of man-hours are required for fixing the mounting plate to the surface of the mounting plate with a bonding tape, and for fixing the mounting plate to a predetermined part of the vehicle body with a fastener, etc. As a result, the products themselves are compared. There was a problem that it became expensive.
