VAN .SLYKE HIS ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,210,032 WIRING HARNESS CLIP AND PAD ASSEMBLY Allan S. Van Slyke, Southington, Ohio, asslgnor to General Motors Corporation, Detroit, Mich., a corporation of Delaware Filed Dec. 9, 1363, Ser. No. 328,882 Claims. (Cl. 248-73) This invention relates to fiat wiring harness mounting and, more particularly, to a clip and pad assembly for flat wiring harness means.
Increased used of electrical accessories on vehicles required additional wiring in certain locations to be fitted flush or flat rather than rounded because of lumpiness of appearance resulting from passage of other than flat harness means. A one-piece mounting means for grouped or bundled round wiring harness means such as shown by a patent S.N. 2,931,85l-Sims issued April 5, 1960 and of a co-pending application S.N. 249,755-Ramsey et al. filed January 7, 1963, both belonging to the assignee of the present invention, can be used in locations other than for flat wiring harness means mounting. Reference can be made to co-pending applications S.N. 141,483-Baer et a1. and S.N. 141,519Scofield et al. both filed September 28, 1961 and belonging to the assignee of the present invention for flat wiring harness means and related structures. An object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved combination wiring harness clip and separable pad assembly for flat wiring harness mounting on an apertured paneling.
Another object of this invention is to provide a pad and clip assembly having fastening portions of differing plastic materials that interlock to each other with one portion thereof to provide support directly for flat wiring harness means and another portion resiliently to hold to a predetermined location on apertured paneling.
Another object of this invention is to provide a substantially flat though elongated pad portion of one insulating material having an integral though thinned gripping end and an apertured end through which a clip portion of differing insulating material fits to have interlock therewith by predetermined lateral ramp means integral and aligned with projections of which free ends are spaced laterally apart though readily defiectable for mounting and demounting on an apertured paneling.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a substantially flat though elongated rigid vinyl pad portion having an opening therethrough that receives a flexible clip portion of moldable nylon, for example, with plural locking ears and projections integrally therewith such that the ears lock against opposite siding of the pad opening, the projections having free ends spaced apart from each other and extending toward outer edges of ribs integral with the clip portion to fit varying aperture sizes of mounting panel means to which a fiat wiring harness means is to be held.
Another object of this invention is to provide flat mounting pad means to fit on one side of fiat wiring harness meansheld in place on apertured vehicle paneling by a rectangular body portion thinned at least in part for access space.
Further objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description, reference being had to the drawings wherein preferred embodiments of the present invention are clearly shown.

FIGURE 13 is a plan view of another embodiment of fiat wiring harness fastening means.
FIGURE 14 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 1414 in FIGURE 13.
FIGURE 15 is an end view of the fastening means of FIGURE 13.
FIGURE 1 shows in perspective a pad and clip assembly generally indicated by numeral 20 for mounting of rectangular cable or fiat wiring harness means H having plural conductors C therewith as indicated also in this same view. The assembly 20 includes a main body portion with substantially fiat surfacing on opposite sides and indicated by numeral 21. A squared or rectangular opening or aperture 22 extends through this main body portion of the pad and has parallel edging 23 as well as undercut sides or recesses 24 and 25 indicated in views of FIGURES l, 5, 6 and 7. These same views also show an integral extension or thinned gripping end 26 projecting laterally to one side of the main body portion of the pad indicated by numeral 21 such that a continuous flat surfacing is mutually provided therebetween on one side thereof.
The perspective view of the assembly 20 in FIGURE 1 also illustrates a clip portion 30 having a central base 31 and opposite integral extensions 32 of less thickness. These extensions 32 are adapted to fit telescopically into the undercuts or recesses 24 and 25 of the pad main body portion 21. Reference can be made to views of FIG- URES 2, 3 and 4 for illustration of the clip portion 30 per so as well as further specific features thereof. These further features include a pair of projections 33 having a slot 34 therebetween. The projections include integral free ends 35 spaced on opposite sides away from each other by an undercut 36 which enhances resilience and defiectability of the free ends 35 toward each other during insertion thereof through a mounting aperture A of the panel P indicated in FIGURE 3. The slot 34 has less width where it terminates in the clip body portion or base 31 than width which increases progressively along the spacing between the projections 33. As can be seen in views of FIGURES 1 through 4 of the drawings, the clip means have relatively thin and defiectable web portions 37 which can have edging 38 thereof engaged periphery of the aperture A through the mounting panel P as indicated in FIGURE 3. Thus the edging 38 of the web portions 37 can permit assembly and mounting of the clip portion relative to panels of differing thickness as well as to apertures of differing sizes compensated for by the web portions 37 and more particularly edging 38 thereof. Such web portions 37 and edging 38 thereof assures engagement of the panel P along one side while free ends 35 of the projections 33 engage in opposite side of the panel P.
Further in accordance with the present invention the clip portion has triangular-shaped or ramp-like means or ears 39 integral and in alignment with the projections 33 on opposite sides thereof. These ramp means or ears 39 are adapted to interlock and engage with opposite edging 23 of the hole or aperture 22 through the main body portion 21 of the pad. The assembly view of FIGURE 1 shows these ramp means or ears 39 against edging or surfacing surrounding the aperture 22 on one side of the main body of the pad portion While the extensions 32 integral also with the main body of the clip portion as indicated by numerals 31-32 in views of FIGURES 2-4 can engage an opposite side of the main body portion of the pad particularly where recessed at locations in alignment with the hole or aperture 22 and indicated by reference numerals 2425.
FIGURES 8, 9 and illustrate another pad portion having a main body 41 with an aperture or opening 42 centrally therethrough. The body portion 41 has opposite edging 43 as well as recessing 44 and 45 similar to that identified by reference numerals 23, 24 and 25 respectively previously. FIGURES l1 and 12 are views to illustrate assembly of this pad portion 41 with the clip portion 30 and features thereof as described for views of FIGURES 2, 3 and 4. Thus it can be seen that the clip portion such as 30 can be used with differing pads adapted for fiat harness means mounting as indicated in views of FIGURES 1 and 11. It is to be noted that the clip portion can be made of a relatively resilient multiple plastic material such as nylon whereas the pad portions are to be made of a relatively rigid plastic material such as vinyl. Therefore, the locking ears 39 being part of the resilient clip portion can readily snap or lock the clip portion into engagement with the pad portion to which flat wiring harness means can be held adhesively such as by heat sealing plastic pad and plastic harness materials to hold the fiat harness means in place. Tape or wrapping could possibly be used also for such holding. Thus the pad and clip assembly in accordance with the present invention is made of two different types of plastic or moldable material held together. The use of resilient material for the clip portion also enhances fitting of the projections and free ends 33 and 35 respectively through mounting panel apertures. Reference numerals in FIGURES 11 and 12 identify the pad portion of FIGURES 8-10 as well as the clip portion of FIGURES 2-4.
FIGURES 13, 14 and illustrate a fastening means generally indicated by numeral 50 having a thinned straplike central body portion 51 providing a recess or offset 52 to one side thereof Where a flat harness means H with conductors C can be positioned as indicated in views of FIGURES 13 and 15. This fastening means 50 can be made of a suitable plastic material formed integrally with enlarged ends 53 at opposite extremities thereof each provided with a transverse elongated slot 54 through which a suitable mounting or fastener such as screws can be inserted.
While the embodiments of the present invention as herein disclosed constitute preferred forms, it is to be understood that other forms can be adopted.
