Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of parts and cost by attaining unification of parts. SOLUTION: A band clip 1, having a buckle 3, band 4 and a stem 2 serving as a core at mounting time, has a center type use band insertion port 6 inserting a tip end of the band 4, so that a fixed member wound to the band 4 is made concentrical relating to the stem 2, and an offset type use band insertion port 7 inserting a tip end of the band 4, so that a fixed member wound to the band 4 is deviated, in this way, a single band clip can cope with center type use and offset type use, so as to enable a number of part items and a cost to reduce by unification of parts.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a band clip suitable for use in fixing a wire harness as a fixed member to a predetermined position of a panel of a vehicle body or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when fixing a wire harness to a panel of a vehicle body or the like, a stem for inserting and fixing the wire harness in a hole of the panel, a band for catching the wire harness, and a band after the tip of the band are inserted together with the band. A band clip that is integrally formed with a buckle that holds a wire harness is used.

In this case, either the center type band clip 10 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 or the offset type band clip 20 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is used.

That is, in the band clip 10, since the stem 11 is located apart from the buckle 12, when the wire harness 13 is wound and fixed by the band 14,
As shown in FIG. 9, the center lines of the stem 11 and the wire harness 13 are aligned. Therefore, this center type is generally common in view of the layout on the mounting of the wire harness 13, and in practice, the center type band clip 10 is often used.

However, in some cases, there may be an obstacle near the stop point of the band clip, or the wire harness may be too thick to be fixed to the core. In such a case, the offset type band clip 20 is used.

That is, a buckle 22 is provided near the stem 21 integrally with the stem 21, and the buckle 22 is provided.
When 3 is wound around the band 24 and fixed, the center line of the stem 21 serving as the core and the center line of the wire harness 23 are deviated from each other, resulting in an offset (deviation) as shown in FIG. This avoids obstacles and the like.

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, there is a problem that the number of parts is increased because it is necessary to prepare two types of center type and offset type even for the same stem. Not only that, but it causes a problem of high cost, which is a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to reduce the number of parts and to reduce costs by unifying parts.

[0009]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a band clip having a buckle, a band, and a stem that serves as a core at the time of attachment, in which a fixed member wound around the band is concentric with the stem. The center type band insertion opening into which the tip of the band is inserted so that the fixed member wound around the band is offset, and the offset type band insertion opening into which the tip of the band is inserted It is characterized by being present.

Further, the center type band insertion opening is provided on the side surface of the buckle on the stem, and the offset type band insertion opening is provided on the upper surface of the buckle on the stem. is there.

With the above structure, the stem and the wire harness become concentric when the tip of the band is inserted from the center type band insertion opening and the wire harness is wound.
If the tip of the band is inserted from the offset type band insertion opening and the wire harness is wound, the wire harness is offset with respect to the stem.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional side view of an embodiment according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a perspective view for explaining the operation of the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view for explaining another operation of the embodiment according to the present invention, and FIG.
4 is a front view of a used state in a view corresponding to FIG. 6, and FIG. 6 is a front view of a used state in a view corresponding to FIG.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a band clip 1 integrally formed of resin is provided with a stem 2 which serves as a core when it is attached to a panel of a vehicle body or the like, and a buckle 3 is provided on the stem 2. Further, a band 4 extending from the buckle 3 is provided so that the wire harness 5 as a fixed member can be wound around the band 4.

On the side surface of the buckle 3, when the wire harness 5 is wound with the band 4, the center type band is inserted so that the axial center of the stem 2 and the center line of the wire harness 5 are concentric (see FIG. 3). The mouth 6 is formed, and when the wire harness 5 is wound around the upper surface of the buckle 3 with the band 4, the axial center of the stem 2 and the center line of the wire harness 5 are deviated from each other (see FIG. 4). The offset type band insertion opening 7 is formed.

Therefore, if the wire harness 5 is fixed by inserting the tip of the band 4 through the center type band insertion opening 6, as shown in FIG. 5, the axis of the stem 2 and the center line of the wire harness 5 are the same. Wire harness 5 as the core
Is arranged. If the wire harness 5 is fixed by inserting the tip of the band 4 through the offset type band insertion opening 7, as shown in FIG. 6, the axis of the stem 2 and the center line of the wire harness 5 are deviated, and the wire harness 5 is displaced. 5 is arranged in an unbalanced fashion. In this way, obstacles and the like are avoided.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 8 is a protrusion provided on the band 4, and when the wire harness 5 is wound around the band 4 and tightened, the protruding side 3b of the buckle 3 is bent back. It works together with the wire harness 5 to prevent slippage in the circumferential and axial directions. Reference numeral 9 is a tooth-shaped concave portion provided on the band 4, and is for engaging with the claw portion 3a of the buckle 3 to prevent the band 4 from loosening.

As described above, in this embodiment, one band clip 1 can be used in two ways, which not only reduces the number of parts by unifying the parts but also contributes to cost reduction.

[0019]

As described above, according to the hand clip of the first aspect of the present invention, the hand clip has both the center type band insertion opening and the offset type band insertion opening. Therefore, it is possible to cope with the two usage methods, and it is possible to reduce the number of parts by unifying the parts and to realize cost reduction.

According to the band clip of the second aspect of the present invention, the center type band insertion opening and the offset type band insertion opening are provided on the side surface and the upper surface of the buckle on the stem, respectively. Not only can unification of parts be realized by simple means, but also it can be manufactured at low cost.
