  • Patent number: 6297456
    Abstract: A support structure for a wire harness having a connection section. The structure includes a hollow support member, open at, one end, on a wall of an electrical connection box. An insulative cap is provided which has an outer diameter greater than the inner diameter of the support member. The cap surrounds the connection section and is pressed into the support member. Its resilience distorts the cap and thereby creates internal friction to resist inadvertent withdrawal. In a preferred form of the Invention, the cap is provided with one or more alternating shelves and grooves which assist in distortion. A further support can be provided on the support member and a portion of the wires taped thereto. This provides a water and vibration resistant connection which is easy to assemble and minimizes the number of parts required.
