The present invention relates to a holder clip for holding, for example, a wire harness or the like wired inside an automobile through a corrugated conduit.

Conventional holder clips of this kind are not shown in detail but are integrally molded articles of synthetic resin, having a semi-circular body and a semi-circular cover body integrally connected through a thin hinge portion, and are supported on the free end side of the body. And a hook ring formed at the free end side of the lid, and the hook hook of the lid is hooked to the receiving portion of the body to form a gripping space for gripping corrugated conduits inside the body and the lid. On the other hand, on the inner surface side of the main body and the cover body, a grip portion protruding in the holding space is formed so as to be elastically deformable, and each of the holding portions can be configured to hold waveguides having different diameters (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-2364).

Therefore, the conventional holder clip can theoretically hold corrugated conduits having different diameters, but structurally obtains elastic deformation of the gripping portion to absorb the diameter difference of the corrugated conduits. In the case of changing the object from a large diameter corrugated conduit to a thin corrugated conduit, the elastic members on each gripping portion side may be permanently deformed and may not be able to cope with this sufficiently.

The present invention was developed in order to effectively solve the problems of the conventional holder clip, the invention of claim 1 is provided with a main body and a cover body connected integrally through a thin hinge portion, which is supported on the free end side of the main body In the holder clip which forms a part and forms a latching ring in the free end side of a cover body, and catches this latching ring in a receiving part, the holder clip which forms a holding space in the inside of a main body and a cover body, The 1st receiving part in the free end side of a main body And the second receiving part is formed by separating the second receiving part in two stages, and the first catching ring and the second catching ring are formed by separating the first catching ring and the second catching ring in two stages on the free end side of the cover body. And the first locking ring and the second locking ring are formed in parallel in the vertical direction.

According to the invention as set forth in claim 1, according to the diameter of the corrugated conduit to be gripped, the first catching ring is formed by separating the first receiving part and the second receiving part and the second receiving part and the second receiving part formed in two stages on the main body side, and By simply selecting and hooking the second locking ring appropriately, each of the corrugated conduits can be gripped corresponding to four types of corrugated conduits having different diameters, and the elastic deformation of the gripping portion is not used as in the prior art. This ensures that each corrugated conduit can be reliably gripped.

Further, in the invention according to claim 1, since the first receiving part and the second receiving part, the first catching ring and the second catching ring are formed in parallel in the vertical direction, the slide mold is unnecessary at the time of molding, and the holder clip itself Can be manufactured at low cost.

The invention as set forth in claim 2 is based on the premise of claim 1, wherein a locking ring is formed on the connection end side of the main body and a locking end is formed on the connection end side of the cover body. It is characterized in that the locking end of the cover body and the locking ring on the main body side are caught.

According to the invention as set forth in claim 2, since the locking ring is formed on the connection end side of the main body separately and the locking end is formed on the connection end side of the cover body, the main body and the cover body are integrally connected in the holding state of the corrugated conduit. Even if the thin hinge portion is cut, the locking ring and the locking end are automatically engaged to maintain the holding state of the corrugated conduit.

The invention as set forth in claim 3 is provided with an engaging hole for inserting a bracket provided on the panel on the connection end side of the main body on the premise of claim 2, and has a locking ring to be engaged with the mounting hole of the bracket in the insertion hole. An elastic tongue piece is provided so that it can be bend-extended, and the elastic tongue piece is formed integrally with the locking ring which catches a locking end.

According to the invention as set forth in claim 3, in order to fix the holder clip itself to the panel side, when the bracket provided in the panel is inserted into the insertion hole formed at the connection end side of the main body, the elastic tongue is caught in the mounting hole of the bracket. At the same time as the hook is locked, the elastic tongue that forms the locking hook is pressed by the bracket and bent, so that the hooking state of the hook and the hook end can be strengthened.

(Example)

The present invention is formed by separating the first receiving portion and the second receiving portion in two stages on the free end side of the main body, and at the same time, forming the first locking ring and the second locking ring in two stages on the free end side of the cover body. On the other hand, by forming the first receiving part and the second receiving part and the first locking ring and the second locking ring in parallel in the vertical direction, it is possible to cope with four types of corrugated conduits having different diameters. Therefore, the holder clip itself is manufactured at low cost by eliminating the need for a slide mold.

In the following, the present invention will be described in detail based on a preferred embodiment showing the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the holder clip according to the present embodiment is also an integrally molded article of synthetic resin, as in the prior art. A semicircular body 1 and a semicircular cover body 2 are integrally connected to each other, and the main body 1 and the cover body 2 are closed by hooking and closing the main body 1 and the cover body 2. Although the gripping space 15 for gripping a corrugated conduit can be formed inside, the feature is that the following configuration is adopted.

First, the main body 1, which is the former, will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the main body 1 is formed to have a larger width than the cover body 2, and the free end 1a side will be described later. In the state which separates the 1st, 2nd latching rings 11 and 12 of (2), and the 1st receiving part 4 and the 2nd receiving part 5 which are selectively caught in an up-down direction by separating in two steps. And a rectangular block (6) protruding in a vertical direction on the side of the connection end 1b connected through the lid 2 and the thin hinge portion 3 to fix the bracket installed on the vehicle body panel. An insertion hole (7) for inserting the bracket into the fixing block (6), and having an engaging ring (8a) to be fitted to the mounting hole opened in the bracket. The elastic tongue piece 8 extended so that (7) may be located in the back side can be bend-extended, The locking end 13 of the cover body 2 mentioned later and the bifurcated locking ring 9 are integrally formed at the front end of the elastic tongue piece 8. In addition, reference numeral 10 denotes a curved concave provided in the bottom of the main body 1 forming the gripping space 15, and is caught in the concave groove of the corrugated conduit.

Next, the latter cover body 2 will be described. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 2, the cover body 2 is formed to have a smaller width than the main body 1, and the free end 2a side is described above. Step 2 by shifting the position of the main body 1 with the first and second receiving portions 4 and 5 with different heights and the first locking ring 11 and the second locking ring 12 which are selectively hooked up and down. The two locking hooks 9 are formed on both sides of the thin hinge portion 3 with respect to the connection end 2b side formed in a state of being separated from each other and connected through the main body 1 and the thin hinge portion 3. ) And a pair of locking ends 13 to be engaged. Further, reference numeral 14 denotes a curved iron wall provided on the inner edge of the lid 2 and is caught in the groove of the corrugated conduit like the iron jaw 10.

In addition, in this embodiment, in addition to such a structure, it is provided in the free end 1a side of the main body 1 including each said receiving part 4 and 5 and the connection end 1b side of the main body 1 in this case. On the side of the free end 2a of the cover 2, the elastic tongue 8 having the fixing block 6, the insertion hole 7 and the locking ring 9 existing in the fixing block 6, In the case where both the formed first locking ring 11 and the second locking ring 12 are arranged in a state parallel to each other in the vertical direction as shown in the drawing, and the holder clips are integrally formed, the upper and lower slide molds are not simply used. By using only a metal mold | die, the structure which can manufacture a holder clip itself at low cost is employ | adopted together.

Therefore, when the wire harness H, which is wired inside the vehicle, is gripped through the corrugated conduit C by using the holder clip of such a configuration, the wire harness H is first covered as shown in FIG. 3. The corrugated conduit C to be protected is placed on the bottom side of the main body 1, and then the cover body 2 is closed to the main body 1 side through the thin hinge portion 3, and then the main body 1 and the cover body ( 2) is caught in the state which formed the holding space 15 in each inside.

However, at this time, the first catching part 4 and the second catching part 5 on the main body 1 side and the first catching hook 11 on the lid 2 side according to the diameter of the corrugated conduit C to be gripped. ) And the second locking ring 12 is selectively caught. Specifically, about the 1st receiving part 4 located below the main body 1 side, as shown in FIG. 4, the free end 2a side of the cover body 2 is according to the diameter of the corrugated conduit C. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the first catching ring 11 and the second catching ring 12 which are separated in two steps in the up and down direction are respectively caught, and the second receiving part 5 located above the main body 1 side is shown in FIG. 5.

This makes it possible to cope with four types of corrugated conduits C having different diameters. In this latched state, since the elastic deformation of the gripping portion is not used as in the prior art, each corrugated conduit C can be reliably gripped. In this state, however, since the thin hinge portion 3 connects the connecting ends 1b and 2b with each other, the locking ring 9 and the locking end 13 are not completely caught yet.

And when the thin hinge part 3 was cut | disconnected by mistake in this latched state, each receiving part 4 and 5 of the free end 1a, 2a side, and each latching ring 11, 12 side this time are Although it is securely hung, the connection ends 1b and 2b of the main body 1 and the lid 2 are separated from each other and the connection end 2b on the lid 2 side is opened. Likewise, the locking end 13 is automatically locked to the locking ring 9 to reliably prevent separation of the connecting ends 1b and 2b. Therefore, the gripping state of the corrugated conduit C is never released. none.

Therefore, after that, the bracket B installed in the vehicle body panel (not shown) is inserted into the insertion hole 7 of the fixing block 6 provided on the connection end 1b side of the main body 1, and this bracket B When the engaging ring 8a of the elastic tongue piece 8 is fitted to the mounting hole Ba of the wire), the wire harness H is finally fixed to the vehicle body panel side as shown in FIG. Since the elastic tongue piece 8 is pushed out from the back side by the insertion of the bracket B, the locking ring 9 is directed out of the locking end 13 direction, and thus the thin hinge portion 3 is in this state. When is cut, the locking state of the locking ring 9 and the locking end 13 is further strengthened, so that the holding state of the corrugated conduit C can be more surely maintained.

The holder clip according to the present invention can cope with four types of corrugated conduits having different diameters, and at the same time eliminates the need for a slide mold, so that the holder clip itself can be manufactured at low cost. It is very suitable for gripping through conduits.
