FIGS. 17 and 18 is known (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2001-84843, in particular, paragraphs 0010 to 0018 andFIG. 3 ). - First, a structure of the conventional harness clip structure will be described. In the conventional harness clip structure, a steering member' 1 extending along a widthwise direction of a vehicle is provided in an instrument panel mounted in front of a driver's seat of the vehicle.
- A
wire harness member 2 extends in the instrument panel along a longitudinal direction of thesteering member 1. - In the
wire harness member 2, a plurality ofharness clip members 3 is used. Thewire harness member 2 is fixed to a vehicle body-side fixing hole 5 provided on a vehicle body-side panel member 4 or thesteering member 1 at a plurality of locations. - The
harness clip member 2 mainly includeslong bands wire harness member 2, astem 3 b inserted through vehicle body-side fixing holes wire harness member 2 on the vehicle body side, and a pair oflocking blades stem 3 b such that thelocking blades - A plate-like
mounting plate body 3 c is integrally formed on thestem 3 b of theharness clip member 2, thebands mounting plate body 3 c is tied to amain trunk 2 a of thewire harness member 2. - Next, actions of this conventional harness clip structure will be described.
- In the conventional harness clip structure having the structure as described above, when the vehicle is assembled, the
bands stem 3 b tied to themain trunk 2 a of thewire harness member 2 is inserted into and fixed to the vehicle body-side fixing hole 5, thereby mounting thewire harness member 2 on the vehicle body side. - When the vehicle is dismantled, a part of the
wire harness member 2 such as themain trunk 2 a is hooked using a hooking member or the like, and the portion is separated from the vehicle body-side panel member 4 and the like as shown with a two-dot chain line inFIG. 18 . - The
stem 3 b is ruptured or thelocking blades wire harness member 2 is separated from the vehicle body-side panel member 4 and the like. -
FIG. 19 shows another conventional harness clip structure (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. H11-215667, in particular, paragraphs 0010 to 0017 and FIG. 2). - According to this harness clip structure, a
fitting hole 3 d is formed in an upper portion of thestem 3 b, and anengagement projection 3 e which is fitted into thefitting hole 3 d is integrally formed on theband 3 a. - According to this conventional harness clip structure having such a structure as described above, when the vehicle is dismantled, the
engagement projection 3 e is detached from thefitting hole 3 d, and thewire harness member 2 can easily be separated from the vehicle body-side panel member 4 and the like. -
FIG. 20 shows still another conventional harness clip structure (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. H11-205967, in particular, paragraphs 0010 to 0016 andFIG. 1 ). - According to this harness clip structure, a
mounting plate body 3 c formed on an upper portion of astem 3 b is locked to a peripheral edge of aback portion 3 i of anincision groove 3 h formed in aband 3 g, and theband 3 g and a pair oflocking blades stem 3 b so as to be able to be elastically deformed are integrally formed as one piece, so that awire harness member 2 bundled by theband 3 g is fixed to the vehicle body-side panel member 4. - According to this conventional harness clip structure having such a structure as described above, when the vehicle is dismantled, the
engagement projection stem 3 b is detached from theincision groove 3 h, and the lock by themounting plate body 3 c is released, such that thewire harness member 2 can easily be separated from the vehicle body-side panel member 4 and the like. - According to the conventional harness clip structures as described above, however, when a vehicle is dismantled, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in
FIG. 18 , thestem 3 b is ruptured or thelocking blades side fixing hole 5 and the strengths of thestem 3 b and thelocking blades wire harness member 2 is separated from the vehicle body-side panel member 4 and the like. - Therefore, the
locking blades stem 3 b drop on a side of a back surface of the vehicle body-side panel member 4 or remains in a hollow portion of thesteering member 1. - According to the conventional harness clip structures, when the vehicle is dismantled, if the direction in which the
engagement projection 3 e is detached from thefitting hole 3 d is not vertical but diagonal, the pulling-out force is not effectively applied, and thewire harness member 2 is liable to be incapable of being easily separated. - In particular, according to the conventional harness clip structure shown in
FIG. 20 , a force required for detaching thestem 3 b from theincision groove 3 h is largely different from the opening direction of theincision groove 3 h and the direction of theback portion 3 i located in the opposite direction. - Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to obtain a desired dismantling performance.
- Hence, it is an object of the present invention to provide a harness clip structure that can easily be dismantled irrespective of the direction on which the pulling-out force acts.
- To achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention provides a harness clip structure comprising a long flexible band which is wound around and tied to a wire harness, and a stem which is inserted through a vehicle body-side fixing hole and which mounts the wire harness on a vehicle body side, wherein the harness clip structure further includes a gate-like band connecting section which is integrally provided on the stem and through which the band is inserted, and a weak section is formed on at least a part of the band connecting section.
