  • Patent number: 11699897
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10981522
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10737643
    Abstract: An engaging member includes an engaging portion configured to be inserted and assembled into a fixing hole of a vehicle body, an attachment portion configured to attach elongated wire routing materials, and linking portions configured to connect the engaging portion and the attachment portion to each other. The linking portions are extendable and contractable in a longitudinal direction of the wire routing materials, and can oscillate the engaging portion side in an orthogonal direction, thereby allowing the engaging portion to be movable in the longitudinal direction and the orthogonal direction. A protrusion and a through portion are provided as a movement restricting portion for restricting the movement of the engaging portion to movement within a predetermined range.

  • Patent number: 10666034
    Abstract: Provided is a binding structure of a wire routing material which can allow reduction of cost and also provides excellent workability for assembly into a vehicle body when wiring for wire routing materials having different shapes, such as a wire harness and a flat wire routing material, is performed in the vehicle body. A binding structure 1 is formed in which a flexible wire routing material 2 and a plate-shaped flat wire routing material 3 having higher rigidity than the flexible wire routing material 2 overlap each other, and the flexible wire routing material 2 and the flat wire routing material 3 are enclosed in an annular form, bound, and held by a binding portion 45 of an engaging member 4 including an engaging portion 40 for assembly into the vehicle body.
