Publication number: 20150047895Abstract: A wire harness securing structure secures a wire harness to a panel using a wire harness clip having a plate portion and a latch portion provided at the plate portion to be press-fitted to a hole of the panel. The latch portion includes a post extending from the plate portion and a pair of latch pieces extending from an end of the post toward the plate portion and having an end which engages with an edge of the hole. The plate portion and the wire harness are covered and secured by the self-adhesive sheet. A surface of the self-adhesive sheet facing the panel contacts with the end of the latch piece before the latch portion is press-fitted. When the latch portion is press-fitted and latched to the hole, the adhesive sheet between the plate portion and the panel is compressed and contacts firmly with an outer periphery of the hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2014Publication date: February 19, 2015Inventors: Kenichi Doushita, Mitsunori Tsunoda, Kouhei Niiho

Patent number: 6903274Abstract: A harness protector for accommodating a wire harness in a protector main body in a curved shape includes a friction member for holding the wire harness in the accommodating state temporarily. The friction member abuts resiliently on the wire harness. The harness protector is provided on a sliding member or a fixed member. The wire harness is wired from the harness protector to the sliding member and the fixed member. The friction member temporarily prevents the wire harness from being removed while the sliding member moves. A spring member for biasing the wire harness in a direction where the wire harness is accommodated is provided in the harness protector. The wire harness compresses the spring member to the maximum at a first moving end of the sliding member. The friction member is disposed at a position so as not to interfere with a restoring of the spring member during moving the sliding member from the first moving end to a second moving end.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2003Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Tohru Aoki, Tsukasa Sekino, Mitsunori Tsunoda
