  • Publication number: 20180079374
    Abstract: A routing space for a wire harness is reduced in size and includes a body panel BP in which an attachment hole having an oval shape is formed; and a grommet that is formed using a rubber material. The grommet includes: a tube portion that is formed into a cylinder into which a wire harness WH can be inserted and passes through the attachment hole in an orientation of being inclined with respect to the body panel BP; and a body seal portion that is formed so as to protrude from an outer circumferential surface of the tube portion and conform to the body panel BP, and comes into contact watertightly with the vehicle body.

  • Publication number: 20180076572
    Abstract: Drain portions are formed by extracting portions of braided members of shield wires to the outside, one of the drain portions is used as a main drain portion, and a ground terminal to be connected to a ground point is attached to the leading end thereof. End portions on one side of relay wires are respectively connected to the remaining drain portions, and the other end portions of the relay wires are collectively connected to the ground terminal.

  • Patent number: 9553431
    Abstract: A shield conductor that shields an electrical wire includes a shield pipe and a metallic braid part that are connected together by a weld along a circumferential direction. The weld may be made by ultrasonic welding. The welding may be direct welding, or welding in which a welding member is melted and then hardened to connect the shield pipe and the metallic braid part together.

  • Publication number: 20160318464
    Abstract: A grommet bracket for attaching a grommet to a panel of a vehicle. The grommet bracket includes: an attachment portion that is arranged so as to extend along the surface of the panel, and is bolted to the panel; a pressing portion for pressing the grommet against the surface of the panel; and a coupling portion that is arranged so as to surround the grommet, and couples the attachment portion and the pressing portion. A draining hole, by which a gap formed between the coupling portion and the grommet is put into communication with the outside of the vehicle, is provided as an opening in the coupling portion.

  • Publication number: 20150008252
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for manufacturing a shield conductor by connecting a metallic braid part formed of tubularly braided metallic wire to a part to be connected provided with a tubular part having electrical conductivity. The method includes fitting the metallic braid part to an outer peripheral surface of an end part of the tubular part to form a fitting region; attaching a metallic welding band formed in a ring shape in the fitting region with the metallic braid part fitted to the end part of the tubular part; melting the welding band that is attached in the fitting region; and welding the tubular part to the metallic braid part along a circumferential direction of the tubular part.
