Patent number: 11699897Abstract: A clamp for a flat conductor is used in attaching the flat conductor to an attachment target. The clamp includes: a clip portion to be engaged with the attachment target; and a main body to hold the flat conductor. The clip portion has a first projection, the main body has a second projection, and the first projection and the second projection protrude to be opposed each other. The clip portion and the main body are configured to allow switching from an unlocked state to a locked state. The locked state restricts a relative movement between the clip portion and the main body in an axial direction of the flat conductor due to an engagement between the first projection and the second projection. The unlocked state allows the relative movement in both sides in the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignees: YAZAKI CORPORATION, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yukinari Naganishi, Itsuo Wakabayashi, Kazunori Takata

Patent number: 11052839Abstract: A binding structure of wire routing materials are formed by: elongated wire routing materials; a binding member for binding the wire routing materials; and an engaging member including a movable body portion including an engaging portion for assembly into a vehicle body, and a bound portion to be bound and held together with the wire routing materials by the binding member. The bound portion includes a main portion facing the wire routing materials, and a leg portion extending from the main portion and being in contact with the wire routing materials. The movable body portion includes a sliding portion disposed such that sliding thereof is allowed on the wire routing materials in a gap.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignees: DAIWA KASEI INDUSTRY CO., LTD., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Toshio Iwahara, Katsuya Hirakawa, Itsuo Wakabayashi, Kazunori Takata

Patent number: 10981522Abstract: Elongated wire routing materials are bound by a first-side binding member on a first side in the longitudinal direction of the wire routing materials, and are bound by a second-side binding member on a second side opposite to the first side. An engaging member includes an engaging portion for assembly into a vehicle body, and an attachment portion serving as the part to which the wire routing materials are attached such that the attachment portion is slidable relative to the wire routing materials in the longitudinal direction. At least one of the engaging portion and the attachment portion comes into contact with the first-side binding member at the first side, and at least one of the engaging portion and the attachment portion comes into contact with the second-side binding member at the second side.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2020Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignees: DAIWA KASEI INDUSTRY CO., LTD., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Makoto Kato, Katsuya Hirakawa, Kazunori Takata, Shinji Oshita, Itsuo Wakabayashi
