  • Patent number: 10214167
    Abstract: A sliding door electrical wire guide module includes a sliding door and an electrical wire guide apparatus that are integrated with each other. The electrical wire guide apparatus includes: an electrical wire guide body for spanning a distance between a vehicle body and the sliding door and that is capable of undergoing curving deformation; a door-side bracket that is coupled to one end portion of the electrical wire guide body and is fixed to the sliding door; a body-side bracket that is coupled to the other end portion of the electrical wire guide body and is to be attached to the vehicle body, and a lock portion that is formed on the body-side bracket and is detachably locked to a receiving portion provided on the sliding door.

    Abstract: A sliding door electrical wire guide module includes a sliding door and an electrical wire guide apparatus that are integrated with each other. The electrical wire guide apparatus includes: an electrical wire guide body for spanning a vehicle body and the sliding door in a state where electrical wires are inserted therein, and that is capable of undergoing curving deformation; a door-side bracket that is coupled to one end portion of the electrical wire guide body and is fixed to the sliding door; a body-side bracket that is coupled to the other end portion of the electrical wire guide body and is to be attached to the vehicle body, and a lock portion that is formed on the body-side bracket and is detachably locked to a receiving portion provided on the sliding door.

  • Patent number: 7730669
    Abstract: Elongate bases (10) for guiding a movable end (37) of a conductor path (30). Cross sections taken through the bases substantially normal to the elongation directions of the bases are substantially identical to one another and substantially constant along the elongation direction of the bases. Thus, the bases (10) can be obtained by cutting an elongated raw material to a specified length in conformity with a vehicle type, thereby enabling a cost reduction. Further, since the bases (10) are symmetrical with a moving path of the movable end (37) located therebetween, it is sufficient to prepare only one kind of elongated raw material. In this respect as well, costs can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 7281696
    Abstract: A mounting fitting (3, 5) is made of a metallic plate material, wherein a first mounting panel (7, 14) to be mounted on a casing (1) is defined on one surface, and a second mounting panel (8, 16) to be mounted on an inner panel (2) is defined on the opposite surface. A reinforcing edge (12, 18) is formed by bending at a peripheral edge portion of the mounting fitting (3, 5) such that an edge end thereof faces in the same direction. The reinforcing edge (12, 18) is continuous along the longitudinal direction thereof without any cut.

  • Publication number: 20050062310
    Abstract: Bases (10) for guiding a movable end (37) of a conductor path (30) have a cross section along a direction normal to a parallel direction to guide rails (12) that is constant over the entire length. Thus, the bases (10) can be obtained by cutting an elongated raw material to a specified length in conformity with a vehicle type, thereby enabling a cost reduction. Further, since the bases (10) are symmetrical with a moving path of the movable end (37) located therebetween, it is sufficient to prepare only one kind of elongated raw material. In this respect as well, costs can be reduced.
