Publication number: 20240128733Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicants: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKI, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tatsumi SATO, Kazuhiro NISHIMURA, Hirozumi OKANIWA, Tomohiko TATEISHI, Tatsuya AIDA, Mitsuhiro KATO, Akinori ISHIKAWA, Kazuhiro KUSUYAMA

Patent number: 11142143Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2016Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Hirozumi Okaniwa, Hironobu Kawabe
