Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wire harness clip used for laying a wire harness for an automobile along a vehicle body panel, and more particularly to a clip for holding a wire harness at an offset position. It is intended to prevent sagging due to its own weight.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a wire harness clip for holding a wire harness at an offset position, one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-46196 is known. As shown in FIG. 4, the wire harness clip includes a base 1 attached to the wire harness W / H, and an arm 2 extending from the base 1 in a direction orthogonal to the length direction of the wire harness. And a locking projection 3 protruding from the upper surface of the arm portion 2 and fitted and locked into the clip hole Pa of the vehicle body panel P.

[0003] In the above-mentioned clip, the position of the base 1 is offset from the position of attachment to the vehicle body panel P by the locking projection 3 by the length of the arm 2.
Due to the weight of the wire harness W / H in
Hangs down and may cause noise due to interference with other parts.

[0004]

In order to prevent the wire harness W / H from hanging down, the clip is engaged with the base portion 1 at a position close to a position above the flange 5 horizontally protruded from the vehicle body panel 4. The stop portion 6 is projected in the horizontal direction, and the locking portion 6 is engaged with the flange 5 so that the load of the wire harness W / H can be received. However, such a configuration requires special processing on the body panel P side, and thus lacks versatility in that it is limited to use in a specific location.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problem, and has a function of receiving a load of a wire harness held at an offset position on a clip itself.
It is an object to prevent the wire harness from sagging without requiring any special processing on the body panel side.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a base portion attached to a wire harness and an arm extending from the base portion in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the wire harness are provided. A clip portion extending from the arm portion, and a clip portion protruding from the upper surface of the arm portion to be engaged with a clip hole of the vehicle body panel. The belt portion extends from the base portion in the opposite direction to the base portion, and a holding portion through which the belt portion can be inserted is protruded at a position adjacent to the base portion side of the locking projection on the arm portion. A clip for a wire harness is provided, wherein a plurality of locking holes for fitting and locking to the locking projections are formed in the belt portion to be inserted in the length direction.

With the above structure, deformation of the base portion and the arm portion in the hanging direction due to the weight of the wire harness is reduced.
The load is offset by acting as a load in the tension direction of the belt portion, and the load can be absorbed by being concentrated on the locking projections, so that noise generation due to interference with other members can be prevented. Furthermore, since the hanging down of the wire harness due to its own weight can be prevented only by the configuration of the wire harness clip, the wire harness is generally used at a position where the wire harness is held at an offset position where noise may occur due to interference with other members. be able to.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. A clip 10 shown in FIG. 1 is made of a synthetic resin, and has a base portion 11 attached along the length direction of the wire harness W / H, and a clip portion 12 for engaging with a clip hole Pa of a vehicle body panel P. It consists of. The base portion 11 is formed of a rectangular flat plate,
At both ends in the length direction, a tape stopper 11a for winding a tape around the outer periphery of the wire harness W / H is formed.

The clip portion 12 is formed on the upper surface of the tip end of an arm portion 12a integrally extending from the base portion 11 in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the wire harness.
An arrowhead-shaped locking protrusion 12b that fits into and locks the wire harness W is provided with an offset amount for holding the wire harness W / H by the length of the arm portion 12a.

In the direction opposite to the extending direction of the arm portion 12a, a thin belt-like belt portion 13 wound around the outer periphery of the wire harness W / H is integrally extended from the base portion 11, and the belt portion 13 The wire harness W has a plurality of locking holes 13a which are fitted and locked in the locking protrusions 12b in the longitudinal direction.
Locking hole 1 that locks with locking projection 12b according to the outer diameter of / H
3a can be selected. The arm 12
In the upper surface of a, near the base portion 11 adjacent to the locking protrusion 12b, the belt portion 13 is inserted through the belt portion 13 wound around the wire harness W / H before the belt portion 13 is fitted into the locking protrusion 12b. -Shaped holding part 12c for holding
Are protruding integrally.

The locking hole 13a is set to have a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the locking projection 12b so that the locking projection 12b can be inserted without being elastically deformed.
The diameter may be set to be smaller than the outer diameter of the locking projection 12b and to be locked by elastically deforming the locking projection 12b. In particular, when the locking hole 13a is set to have the same small diameter as the clip hole Pa and is engaged with the locking projection 12b so as not to come off, the belt 13 is fixed to the outer periphery of the wire harness W / H. Therefore, the tape stopper 11a in the base 11 may be omitted.

Next, the use state of the wire harness clip having the above configuration will be described. As shown in FIG.
First, both ends are fixed with a tape T so that the base portion 11 is along the outer peripheral lower surface portion of the wire harness W / H.
Next, the belt portion 13 is wound around the upper surface side of the wire harness W / H, inserted into the holding portion 12c on the arm portion 12a and tightened, and in the tightened state, the belt portion 13 is positioned corresponding to the locking projection 12b. The locking holes 13a are fitted into the locking protrusions 12b to maintain the tightened state by the belt portion 13.

As described above, the wire harness W / H
After the clamp 10 is attached to the wire harness W, the locking projection 12b at the offset position is fitted and locked in the clamp hole Pa of the vehicle body panel P as shown in FIG.
/ H is held on the vehicle body panel P via the clamp 10. In this holding state, the ends of the base portion 11 and the arm portions 12a exert a force in the direction of hanging down due to the weight of the wire harness W / H, but the belt portion 13 receives a force in the pulling direction. The above-mentioned forces in the hanging direction are canceled out, and all the loads act on the locking projections 12b. Therefore, the hanging of the ends of the base portion 11 and the arm portion 13 is prevented.

[0014]

As is clear from the above description, in the clip for a wire harness according to the present invention, the weight of the wire harness when held in an offset state is received by the locking projection via the band portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ends of the base portion and the arm portion from hanging down. Moreover, such a sag preventing function is performed by the configuration of the clip itself, so that it can be universally applied to use at any offset position.
