[Formation method of intermediate bracket]
The method for forming the intermediate bracket 10 described above is as follows. First, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 7A, the bracket body 12 after being partially molded is formed. The bracket body 12 is formed using a punching process of a metal plate material. Here, some rotation prevention parts 20 and rotation prevention parts 22 are in a state of being bent and molded.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B and 7B, the longitudinal intermediate portion of the bracket body 12 is formed, and the cylindrical wire holding portion 14 along the outer periphery of the wire body 32 is formed. The longitudinal ends of the bracket body 12 are folded and overlapped. The superposition is not complete superposition, but is performed in a state where the rotation prevention unit 20 and the rotation prevention unit 22 are slightly opened.

Next, the wire main body 32 is inserted in a radial direction from a portion where the rotation prevention unit 20 and the rotation prevention unit 22 of the bracket main body 12 are slightly opened, and the wire main body 32 is moved to the wire holding unit 14. The wire main body 32 is fitted. Then, the stopper portion 18 is formed along the outer periphery of the wire body 32, and the stopper portion 18 is wound around the wire body 32 and caulked. Simultaneously with this caulking or before and after, the stopper portion 18 is separated from the bracket body 12 with the separation region 24 as a boundary.

When these series of steps are completed, the intermediate bracket 10 and the wire 30 holding the intermediate bracket 10 according to the present embodiment are completed.

For this reason, the stopper portion 18 can be formed from the bracket body 12 by separating the stopper portion 18 from the bracket body 12 with the separation region 24 as a boundary, and at the same time as the separation, the bracket body 12 and the stopper portion 18 are formed. Chamfering is performed on each of the separation regions 24. Thereby, after the stopper part 18 is separated from the bracket body 12, no chamfering work (chamfering process) is required, so that the assembly workability can be improved.

Furthermore, in the intermediate bracket 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, the notch region 24 is provided with a notch 24A and a notch 24B. By providing the

notches

24A and 24B, the plate thickness of the separation region 24 can be made thinner than the plate thicknesses of the bracket body 12 and the stopper portion 18, so that the separation can be facilitated.
Further, for example, the separation region 24 is separated by cutting, but by forming the

notches

24A and 24B, as shown in FIG. 4C, the flash 24C generated at the cut portion is accommodated in the notches 24A. The flash 24D can be accommodated in the notch 24B. For this reason, the deburring process can be omitted.

For this reason, since the stopper part 18 is formed using a part of bracket main body 12, the number of parts can be reduced compared with the case where the stopper part 18 is manufactured from another member.

Further, in the wire 30 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1B, the stopper portion 18 is formed in a C-shaped cross section when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the wire body 32. Accordingly, the stopper portion 18 can be fixed to the longitudinal intermediate portion of the wire body 32 by sandwiching the stopper portion 18 in the wire body 32 from the radially outer side of the wire body 32.
For this reason, as compared with the assembly operation of fixing the stopper member after moving the cylindrical stopper member from one end of the wire main body 32 to the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction, the stopper portion 18 is directly attached to the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the wire main body 32. Since the assembly work is fixed, the assembly workability can be improved.
