Problems solved by technology

The problem with embedded lubricated grommets is that the presence of lubricant on the grommet makes it difficult to secure wiring to the grommet
For example, tape does not adhere easily to grommets because the lubricant interferes with the tape adhesive

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for securing wiring to a grommet with embedded lubricant by employing a series of pressure rings both on the interior and exterior of the grommet opening. In exemplary implementation, a tie strap is tightened around the wiring and then forced into the grommet opening before a second tie strap is tightened around both the wiring and grommet opening.

Description

technical field [0001] The following description relates to a system and method for securing a wire to an annular ring with embedded lubricant. Background technique [0002] All vehicles have wiring that must pass through various solid frames and demarcations, such as doors and dashboards, to enable the various features and functions of the vehicle. To ensure that the wiring passes through these barriers in a stable and safe manner, the wiring is often attached to grommets which help guide and position the wiring from one side of the barrier to the other. In order to use the grommet properly, a lubricant is needed to help the wires pass through the grommet. In the prior art, lubricant is sprayed onto the annular ring during installation. However, this leads to a sliding hazard in the vehicle assembly area and is an inefficient use of lubricant. Therefore, annular rings with pre-embedded lubricant are preferred and are commonly used today. The problem with embedded lubric...
