Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a wire harness clamp that can be removed after being attached to a panel and can be reused.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, when mounting a wire harness for an automobile on a vehicle body panel, as shown in FIG. 5, a clamp 3 for holding the wire harness 2 is inserted and locked in a mounting hole 1a provided in the panel 1.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the clamp 3 is to be inserted into the mounting hole 1a while bending the protrusions 3a, 3a on both sides of the shaft portion 3b inwardly, it is necessary to remove the wire harness 2 from the panel for maintenance or the like. When the clamp 3 was pulled out from the mounting hole 1a, it could not be pulled out without breaking the A portion of the shaft portion 3b. Therefore, the clamp had the drawback that it could not be reused.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a clamp for a wire harness that can be easily pulled out from a mounting hole of a panel without being broken and can be reused.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention inserts and locks a clamp for holding a wire harness into a mounting hole formed in a panel, wherein two mounting holes are provided in the panel at a predetermined interval. On the other hand, the clamp has two claws each having a pawl at one end to be inserted into each of the mounting holes and claws and a manual operation part at the other end, and the length of each claw. It is characterized in that it is provided with a flexible connecting portion which connects substantially intermediate portions in the direction and urges each claw in the approaching direction.

The clamp is provided with a flat plate-shaped harness mounting portion projecting in a direction orthogonal to the central portion of the coupling portion, and both sides of the harness mounting plate portion are fixed to the wire harness by taping. Alternatively, a harness mounting portion having a band mounting hole is provided on the side of the central portion of the connecting portion, and a band is passed through the harness mounting portion to fix the clamp to the wire harness.

[0007]

[Action]

 By using a clamp in which two locking parts having the above-mentioned claw and a manual operation part at both ends are connected to each other in a substantially H-shape by a flexible connecting part, the claws on both sides are connected to the two mounting holes of the panel. When they are respectively inserted, these claws abut the edge of the mounting hole on the insertion side, open in the separating direction against the urging force of the connecting part, and then are urged in the approaching direction by the connecting part. It is locked to the edge of the mounting hole on the opposite side of the insertion side. On the other hand, when pulling out the clamp, if you grasp the operating parts of both hands in the proximity direction with your fingers, the claws on both sides will open in the separating direction against the biasing force of the connecting part. Remove each. In this way, the clamp can be easily pulled out from the panel mounting hole without breaking it.

[0008]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. As shown in FIG. 1, a vehicle body panel 10 of an automobile has two rectangular mounting holes 10a, 10a formed at predetermined intervals by a press or the like.

On the other hand, the substantially H-shaped synthetic resin clamp 12 for holding the wire harness 11 is integrally formed by connecting a flexible connecting portion 12a and intermediate portions to both end portions of the connecting portion 12a. It is basically composed of two locking portions 12b, 12b, and one end of each locking portion 12b is formed with an inwardly directed claw 12c which is inserted into and locked in each of the mounting holes 10a. A manual operation part 12d is formed at the other end of 12b.

A flat plate-shaped mounting portion 12e extending in the longitudinal direction of the wire harness 11 is formed at a central portion of the connecting portion 12a in a direction perpendicular to the mounting portion 12e. Both ends of the mounting portion 12e are fixed by winding a tape 13 around the wire harness 11.

As shown in FIG. 2, a mounting portion 12f having a band through hole is formed at the center side of the connecting portion 12a of the clamp 12, and the band 14 passed through the through hole is attached to the wire harness. The wire harness 11 may be held by the clamp 12 by winding the wire harness 11 around the wire harness 11.

With the above structure, when the clamp 12 is inserted, as shown in FIG. 3A, when the claws 12c of both locking portions 12b are respectively inserted into the mounting holes 10a of the panel 10, each claw 12c is inserted. Comes into contact with the edge of the mounting hole 10a on the insertion side and is opened in the separating direction against the urging force of the connecting portion 12a, and then is urged in the approaching direction by the connecting portion 12a to insert the mounting hole 10a in the opposite direction. It is locked to the side edge.

On the other hand, in order to remove the wire harness 11 from the panel 10, when pulling out the clamp 12 from the panel 10, as shown in FIG. As shown in detail in FIG. 4, when it is grasped by a grip or the like, the panel abutting portion of the intermediate portion of the connecting portion 12a is used as a fulcrum a, the connecting portion 12a bends, and both the claws 12c resist the biasing force of the connecting portion 12a. Since it opens in the detaching direction, both claws 12c can be easily pulled out from the mounting hole 10a in this state.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 As is clear from the above description, in the wire harness clamp of the present invention, when the two-hand operation part is grasped by fingers in the proximity direction when the clamp is pulled out, the two nails are separated from each other against the urging force of the connecting part. Since it opens in the direction, both claws can be removed from the panel mounting holes in this state. Therefore, the clamp can be easily removed from the panel mounting hole without breaking it, and the clamp can be reused.
