  • Patent number: 7669324
    Abstract: A water stopping apparatus for causing a water stopping material to penetrate exposed core wires of a sheathed wire forming a wire harness includes a pair of dies which can abut against each other in a mutually opposed condition, thereby forming a pressurizing space in which an exposed portion of the core wires of the wire harness can be mounted, a filling portion for filling a water stopping material in the pressurizing space in which the exposed portion of the core wires is mounted, and a pressurizing portion for supplying pressurized gas into the pressurizing space to pressurize the same.

  • Patent number: 7390967
    Abstract: A structure of the invention for fixing an end portion of a binding band (10) includes a lock portion (11) having a band retaining portion provided within a band insertion hole (14), and a band portion (12) which extends from the lock portion (11), and has engagement portions (15) for retaining engagement with the band retaining portion. Wire harnesses are fixed in a bundled manner to a protector (40) by the band portion (12). A holder portion (16) in the form of a recess is formed in the protector (40), and has a shape similar to the outer shape of the lock portion (11), and this holder portion (16) includes a band passage hole for the passage of the band portion (12) therethrough, and an abutment surface provided at an end of the band passage hole. When the engagement portion (15) is retainingly engaged with the band retaining portion upon bundling of the wire harnesses, the lock portion (11) abuts against this abutment surface.

  • Patent number: 7307217
    Abstract: A bundle 11 of electric wires is contained in a protector (20) which is a tubular body formed by assembling a main body (21) and a cover (22) together, and the main body (21) and the cover (22) are fixed to each other by means of locking parts (30). On this occasion, backlash preventive locking parts 31 each having backlash preventing means (34) are arranged in at least two positions, in place of the locking parts 30 which are arranged on the main body (21) and the cover (22) at a determined interval in a longitudinal direction. As the results, backlashes of the locking parts can be eliminated by a simple structure, and a twist of the protector can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 7060908
    Abstract: In a pair of tongue pieces 23, 24 which are opposed to each other and extended from the end portions in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical body 20a in which the electric wire harness 11 is accommodated, the rising portions 23a, 24a are provided in the directions opposing to each other. Therefore, the rising portions 23a, 24a are located on the sides of the electric wire harness 11. Accordingly, when the tongue pieces 23, 24 are attached to the electric wire harness 11, the sides of the electric wire harness 11 can be protected by the rising portions 23a, 24a. Therefore, when the adhesive tape 12 is wound in such a manner that the tongue pieces 23, 24 are pressed to each other, the sides of the electric wire harness 11 can be easily protected and fixed.

  • Patent number: 6967286
    Abstract: An electrical wire bundle W is accommodated in a main body 20 of a protector 10, a cover portion 30 is closed, and the main body 20 and the cover portion 30 are locked by lock portions 40 capable of engaging the two members. Namely, if a belt-shaped retaining piece 31 extending from the cover portion 30 toward the main body 20 is inserted into a retaining hole 25 of a through hole 23 provided through an attaching portion 21 of the main body 20, a pawl portion 32 of the retaining piece 31 rides over a flexible piece 24, which is provided between the retaining hole 25 and a flexible hole 26, while deflecting the flexible piece 24, so as to be retained by the flexible piece 24. Since a widthwise dimension of the flexible hole 26 is less than a maximum widthwise dimension of the retaining piece 31, when the retaining piece 31 is inserted in the retaining hole 25, even if an attempt is erroneously made to insert the retaining piece 31 into the flexible hole26 the retaining piece 31 cannot be inserted.
