Protector for wire harness

Abstract

A protector has an insertion passage for a branch wire branching from the trunk wire of a wire harness, and the branch wire insertion passage can be closed when the branch wire is not inserted throughthe branch wire insertion passage. The protector is configured such that a closure plate is rotatably suspended through a hinge section from the lower surface of the cover of the branch wire insertion passage which branches from the trunk wire insertion passage. When the branch wire is inserted through the branch wire insertion passage, the closure plate is raised to a horizontal position by thebranch wire , and the branch wire is pulled out, and when there is no branch wire, the closure plate is directed downward to close the branch wire insertion passage.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a protector for wire harnesses, and more particularly to a structure capable of coping with the presence or absence of branch wires branched from a main wire of a wire harness. Background technique [0002] Wire harnesses wired in vehicles such as automobiles are packaged with protectors made of resin molded products in areas where routing restrictions and wire harness protection are required. [0003] When this kind of protector has a branch line branched from the main line of the wiring harness, and the branch line also needs to be protected by the protector in the same way as the main line, such as Figure 9 As shown, the protector 100 is provided with a main line insertion portion 111 through which the main line 150 of the wiring harness penetrates and a branch line insertion portion 112 through which the branch line 160 is inserted. [0004] The wire harness packaged by the above-mentioned protector 100 may not hav...

Problems solved by technology

In this case, the outlet 112a of the branch line insertion portion 112 is left open, and foreign matter such as water or dust easily enters the inside of the protector 100, which may adversely affect the main line 150 passing through the protector 100.

In order to solve this problem, it is sufficient to install protectors without branch parts for branch lines independently. However, if different types of protectors are provided depending on the presence or absence of branch lines, the number of parts will increase and the cost will increase.
