  • Patent number: 10214162
    Abstract: A grommet (1) provided with a body (9) with an annular shape which is to be mounted to a mounting member (3) and has a pair of opposing straight portion (5, 5) and a pair of arc portion (7, 7) which connect both ends of the pair of straight portions (5, 5), and a seal (11) which is continuously formed, in an elastically deformable manner, in the circumferential direction of the outer periphery side of the body (9) and is brought into close contact with a surface of the mounting member (3). The rigidity of the seal (11) is set so as to gradually increase from the side of the pair of straight portion (5, 5) toward the side of the pair of arc portion (7, 7).

  • Publication number: 20170012419
    Abstract: A holding member producing device is provided. A first inclined surface including inward as they separate from a bottom surface is formed on an outer side surface of an arm portion. For this reason, when a first die and a second die having an opening/closing direction which matches with a plate thickness direction of the bottom surface are opened, the locking projections can easily cross over steps by outwardly bending and deforming the arm portions. Therefore, it is possible to suppress damage, projection sizes of locking projections can be increased, and it becomes easy to hold a fuse.

  • Patent number: 9228678
    Abstract: A door harness attaching structure includes: an opening provided on an inner panel of a hinge-open/close-type door; and a hole provided on an end wall at the hinge side of the inner panel. The opening is composed of a large main opening covered by a panel unit of a door module and a small sub opening continued to the main opening, notched toward the hole for attaching a grommet and covered by a cover member. A wiring harness of the door module includes: a harness portion projecting from the panel unit; and the grommet provided at a tip end of the harness portion and attached through the hole.

  • Patent number: 9083168
    Abstract: A grommet 1, which is configured to be attached to a hole 10a in a panel 10, includes a cylindrical body 2 having along its entire periphery a locking recess 3 that is locked into the hole 10a. Also, on an outer surface of the body 2, there is provided two first ribs 8 spaced from each other and extending from one end of the body 2 to the other end of the body 2, and two second ribs 7. These first ribs 8 are provided on one side with reference to a virtual plane that includes a central axis P and an alternate long and two short dashes line Q. The second ribs 7 are provided on the other side with reference to the virtual plane. Also, a width of the first rib 8 is larger than that of the second rib 7.

  • Patent number: 8592685
    Abstract: A wiring harness installation structure is provided which can reduce the installing cost of a wiring harness by omitting an operation of injecting a water stop agent into an interior of a grommet. A grommet 21 which is fittingly mounted in a harness through hole in a body panel 7 which separates an interior from an exterior of a vehicle compartment 1 is such that an extension tubular portion 25 of a required length which is fittingly connected to a protector 13 which lies adjacent to the grommet 21 is provided at a vehicle compartment exterior area side end portion 23a of a panel fitting tubular portion 23 through a center of which a wiring harness W is inserted, whereby an exposure of the wiring harness W in proximity to the grommet 21 is prevented by the extension tubular portion 25.

  • Patent number: 7614915
    Abstract: A main body portion of a grommet is mounted to a through hole of a dash panel partitioning an engine room and a vehicle compartment, a long tube is continuously provided to the main body portion, and the tube is arranged at inside of the engine room. A wire harness is inserted to the main body portion and an inner portion of the tube in an unbundled state, under the state, at least two stages of narrowed portions (first, second fixing portions) constituted by narrowing an inner diameter of the tube at a position proximate to a front end of the tube and a position proximate to the main body portion remote from the position. At the narrowed portion, by fastening a strap for fixing to an outer periphery of the tube, the inner diameter of the tube is narrowed. Wires are scattered by providing a bent portion at the wire harness coming out from the grommet.
