  • Publication number: 20240128733
    Abstract: An attachment structure of a flat wire harness includes: an attachment target member; a flat wire harness; and an attachment part. In the flat wire harness, a through hole is formed in a part of a base material where a plurality of electrical wires are not disposed. The attachment part includes a rod-like part passing through the through hole, a fixing part provided to a first end portion of the rod-like part to fix the rod-like part to the attachment target member, and a retaining part provided to a second end portion of the rod-like part to prevent the rod-like part from coming out of the through hole. An outer size of the retaining part is larger than a dimension of the through hole, and the dimension of the through hole is equal to or larger than a thickness of the rod-like part.

  • Publication number: 20240100783
    Abstract: A fusion sheet includes: a base material layer including a first surface and a second surface; a fusion base part partially stacked to the first surface of the base material layer and fusible to a wire-like transmission member; and an adhesive base part partially stacked to the second surface of the base material layer and having larger adhesive strength with an adhesive member than the base material layer. A first section and a second section are provided along an extension direction of the base material layer. The first section is a section where the adhesive base part is stacked to the base material layer other than a laminated section where the adhesive base part is stacked. The second section is a section where the adhesive base part is stacked to the base material layer other than a laminated section where the fusion base part is stacked.

  • Patent number: 11142143
    Abstract: A clamp attached to a wire harness is attached to a section of a vehicle body where a clamp hole cannot be formed in the vehicle body. The clamp is constituted by a band clamp that wraps a band around the wire harness, a base plate-type clamp that uses a piece of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, or a corrugated clamp to be attached to a corrugated tube in which a wire harness is inserted. The clamp includes a wire harness attachment portion constituted by a band and a band locking box of the band clamp, a base plate of the base plate-type clamp, or an externally fitted portion of the corrugated clamp; and a suction cup protruding from the wire harness attachment portion, wherein the clamp has a structure in which the suction cup is pressed against and spread out on a vehicle body surface for suction thereto.
