  • Publication number: 20150083462
    Abstract: To provide a structure for mounting a retrofit part to a cladding member that can prevent the retrofit part from causing a turn or positional displacement. A clamp includes a clamp base and a clamp cover continuous to the clamp base by a hinge. The clamp has spike-shaped portions. The spike-shaped portions are formed and placed on both a mount surface of the clamp base and a mount surface of the clamp cover. The spike-shaped portions are an area that prevents the clamp from causing a turn or positional displacement, and each protrusively formed substantially into a pyramid shape with a pointed end. The spike-shaped portions are formed as an area that bites into an exterior surface of a cladding member and that resists external force, such as vibrations, when the clamp is mounted.

  • Publication number: 20140262495
    Abstract: A wire harness includes conducting paths, a metal pipe into which the conducting paths are inserted, and a conducting path protective cap which includes a through hole for the conducting paths, and an engaging part which is engaged with a terminal part of the metal pipe. The terminal part of the metal pipe has a ring-like cap engagement space formed by crushing the terminal part towards a predetermined direction from a pipe outer surface of the metal pipe. The ring-like cap engagement space includes a reduced space and an enlarged space formed due to a crushing of the terminal part. The reduced part is formed by narrowing a part of a gap between the conducting paths and the pipe inner surface due to the crushing, and the enlarged space is formed by enlarging a part of the gap in accordance with a formation of the reduced space.

  • Patent number: 8624114
    Abstract: A buffering part 34 is formed by turning an end side of a wiring harness 30 in a U-shape, and by detachably holding a neighbor of an end of the wiring harness 32 with a retainer 29 of a protector 24 disposed on a middle of the wiring harness 33. A circular portion of the buffering part 34 can work as a buffer. The buffer performance of the buffering part 34 depends on flexibility and resiliency of a corrugate tube 25 and on a circular shape formed between a holding position of the retainer 29 and the neighbor of the end of the wiring harness 32.

  • Patent number: 8563866
    Abstract: This invention is to provide a protector capable of discharging water into an outside and a wire harness including the protector. A drainage hole is formed as a portion so as to discharge water collecting in an electrical wire receiving portion into an outside. The drainage hole is formed so as to penetrate through the electrical wire receiving portion and toward the rear of a vehicle. Further, the drainage hole is formed so as to gradually slope from the electrical wire receiving portion toward the ground surface. The drainage hole is a through hole which is formed at a position near an end portion of a protection member for the vehicle interior. The drainage hole is formed and located in a portion of the wire harness which is the closest to the ground surface.

  • Patent number: 8561296
    Abstract: In a first production process, firstly, a flat corrugate tube 23 having a necessary length for wiring is prepared. Next, a grommet 25 and a protector 24 are assembled with the flat corrugate tube 23 at predetermined positions. In a second production process, high-voltage power lines 22 and low-voltage electric wires 27 are inserted into the flat corrugate tube 23 from the one opening 40 toward the other opening 41. In a third production process, ends of the high-voltage power lines 22 and the low-voltage electric wires 27 exposed from the one opening 40 and the other opening 41 of the flat corrugate tube 23 are treated. When the third production process is finished, the production of the wiring harness 21 is finished.
