Publication number: 20240359642Abstract: To provide an inexpensive routing structure, which is improved in sealing performance with no harm in noise insulation performance, of a wire harness of a sensor for a door of an automobile. The routing structure includes a wire harness of a sensor. The sensor couples to a flange of a rear door of the automobile with a bracket, and detects an electric signal which provides an indication that an object is between the rear door and a front door. The wire harness passes through a through hole, provided on an inner panel of the rear door, and is routed into a space between the inner panel and an outer panel. The through hole is a service hole, provided on a door side surface of the inner panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2023Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: Hiroshi SHIMADA, Toshifumi MATSUURA, Makoto SEKI, Takashi FUKAHORI, Hiroshi SHINGU

Publication number: 20240359643Abstract: A protector includes: a first cylindrical body having a first body and a first cover which is attached to the first body in a first attachment direction; and a second cylindrical body having a second body and a second cover which is attached to the second body in a second attachment direction. One end of the first cylindrical body is an inner cylindrical part, and one end of the second cylindrical body is an outer cylindrical part. A rotation angle of the inner cylindrical part changes between a first angle in which the first attachment direction is in a same position as the second attachment direction and a second angle in which the first attachment direction is not in a same position as the second attachment direction and which is in a posture when the first cylindrical part and the second cylindrical part are assembled to the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicant: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventor: Akitoshi KIMURA

Publication number: 20240359645Abstract: Cable binder for vehicles, cable-binding assembly, and vehicle lamp with the assembly. The binder comprises a body for attachment to the vehicle, a strip for binding cables, and a securing mechanism for closing a section of the binder into a loop around the cables, wherein the section comprises at least a part of the strip and optionally a part of the body. This section is provided with at least one cable-guiding groove for fitting at least part of a perimeter of at least one cable, wherein the groove extends across the width of the section and is placed on the inner side of the loop when the section is closed into the loop. The binder can further comprise at least one rib for squeezing cables, the rib being oriented perpendicularly with respect to the groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: Petr Besta, Zdenek Bures, Tomas Galek, Matej Smolik, Jan Suchy, Pavel Tinkl, Dusan Winkler

Publication number: 20240359646Abstract: A sealing system and method for a mirror assembly of a vehicle is provided. The mirror assembly includes a wire harness assembly in which at least a first wire harness and a second wire harness are coupled together. The first wire harness is protected within a rigid encasing but for an exposed portion. The exposed portion permits freer movement of the internal pins in that area, which promotes a better fit with the adjacent second wire harness. In one example, a foam sheath can used to cover a portion of the wire harness assembly, which is then routed through a gasket. This arrangement is configured to prevent air leaks that might otherwise occur due to gapping between the first wire harness and the second wire harness.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2023Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: Hunter MAY, Timothy J. Rupp, Babuji K. Tamarapoo, Hirofumi TAKEMOTO
