  • Patent number: 11043794
    Abstract: A housing of a wire harness includes a first member and a second member that store therein an object to be stored; a locking mechanism that locks the first member and the second member, when a first locking surface and a second locking surface are locked to each other in a first direction; and a stabilizer mechanism that includes a fitting surface projecting from the first member to outside, and a biasing part that projects from the second member to the outside, that is elastically and deformably provided along the first direction, that is elastically deformed by coming into contact with the fitting surface while the first member and the second member are locked by the locking mechanism, and that generates biasing force for pressing the second locking surface toward the first locking surface side along the first direction.

  • Patent number: 10714916
    Abstract: A protector includes a main body formed with an accommodation part by a bottom wall part and side wall parts, a lid body mounted on the main body to cover the accommodation part, and a flange part that extends along a longitudinal direction of the main body with a gap at an upper portion in parallel with an outer surface of at least one of the side wall parts of the main body. A plurality of engagement holes are provided at a lower portion of the flange part. A plurality of engagement claws that are provided on at least one edge part of the lid body are locked with engagement edge parts of the engagement holes when the plurality of engagement claws are inserted into the gap between the flange part and the side wall part which faces the flange part with the gap.

  • Patent number: 10293764
    Abstract: A resin molded body (10) includes a metal attachment member (22) and an extension part (33, 34) extending from the resin molded body. At least one part of the metal attachment member (22) is exposed in a mounting surface (20a) of the resin molded body. The mounting surface (20a) is to be facing to the mounting target when the resin molded body is fixed to a mounting target. At least one part of the extension part (33, 34) is protruded outside the mounting surface. A protrusion length of the at least one part of the extension part (33, 34) from the mounting surface is larger than a protrusion length of the metal attachment member (22) from the mounting surface. The at least one part is configured to allow deforming in a direction away from the mounting target when the resin molded body is fixed to the mounting target.
