Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fixing member that attaches and fixes an elongated body to a workpiece, and to a wire harness with a fixing member in which the fixing member is attached to a wire harness. [Background technology]

[0002] Electrical components installed in automobiles to improve operability and comfort are connected via elongated members such as wire harnesses to transmit and receive signals, supply power, etc. The elongated members connected to the electrical components are attached to and routed on a mounting member such as a body panel along a two-dimensional or three-dimensional routing path that matches the shape of the vehicle.

[0003] For example, as in the fixing member described in Patent Document 1, a wire harness can be attached to a workpiece by inserting an anchor extending in a predetermined direction from a holding portion that holds the wire harness into a through-hole provided in the workpiece and fixing it thereto, which is said to enable the wire harness to be routed along a desired routing path.

[0004] However, when the workpiece is provided with a protruding portion that protrudes in a predetermined direction, such as a bolt, there is a problem in that the wire harness needs to be routed around the protruding portion, and a separate fixing structure, such as a through hole for fixing the fixing member as described above, needs to be provided in the workpiece. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-094645 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a fixing member that can attach and fix a long body to a mounting member having a protrusion without providing a separate fixing structure, and a wire harness with a fixing member in which the fixing member is attached to a wire harness. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] This invention is a fixing member for attaching and fixing a long body to a workpiece, and is characterized in that it comprises a holding portion for holding the long body, and an attachment / fixing portion that is connected to the holding portion and is attached to a protrusion that protrudes from the workpiece in a predetermined direction, and a locking portion that is provided on the protrusion and locks into a step portion that forms a step in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction, and is provided on the attachment / fixing portion.

[0008] The elongated body includes a coated electric wire, a wire harness made by bundling the coated electric wire, a communication cable such as an optical fiber cable, a bundle of the communication cables, and a bundle of a wire harness and a bundle of the communication cables.

[0009] The present invention is also characterized in that it comprises a long body to be routed in a vehicle and the above-mentioned fixing member, the long body being a wire harness with a fixing member held by the holding portion. The protruding portion is a portion that protrudes in a predetermined direction from the workpiece, and includes, for example, a bolt member such as a stud bolt that is screwed into the workpiece.

[0010] The stepped portion provided on the protruding portion and forming a step in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction includes concave portions such as a recess formed by recessing a part of the protruding portion in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction, or a gap formed between the head of a bolt and a workpiece, and also includes convex portions such as the flange portion of a flanged bolt formed by protruding from the protruding portion in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction.

[0011] According to this invention, even if the workpiece has a protrusion, the elongated body can be attached and fixed to the workpiece without providing a separate fixing structure. More specifically, the mounting and fixing portion connected to the holding portion that holds the elongated body is provided with a locking portion that is provided on a protruding portion that protrudes in a predetermined direction from the workpiece and that locks onto a stepped portion that forms a step in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction. This allows the elongated body held in the holding portion to be attached and fixed to the protruding portion, and the locking portion can reliably maintain the attachment state of the fixing member to the protruding portion. Therefore, the elongated body held in the holding portion can be attached and fixed to the protruding portion without providing a separate fixing structure for fixing the elongated body to the workpiece. Furthermore, the degree of freedom in the routing of the elongated body can be improved.

[0012] In one aspect of this invention, along the specified direction, the side of the workpiece relative to the step portion is one side, and the side opposite to the one side is the other side, and the mounting fixing portion is provided with a connecting portion that connects the holding portion and the engaging portion, and the protruding portion is provided with a head tip portion on the other side of the step portion, and the holding portion may be positioned on the other side of the head tip portion when attached to the workpiece. This invention allows the elongated body to be routed on the other side of the head tip, thereby further improving the freedom of the routing path of the elongated body and reliably preventing interference between the protrusion and the elongated body.

[0013] As another aspect of the present invention, in the attached state, the locking portion and the connecting portion may clamp the tip of the head portion in the predetermined direction. According to this invention, the head tip can be clamped in a predetermined direction between the locking portion and the connecting portion, so the holding portion can be stably attached to the protruding portion, and therefore the elongated object arranged so as to be spaced apart in a predetermined direction from the attached member can be stably held.

[0014] In another aspect of the present invention, in the attached state, at least one of the locking portion and the connecting portion may abut against a surface of the head tip portion that faces the predetermined direction and be biased in the predetermined direction.

[0015] According to this invention, in the attached state, at least one of the locking portion and the connecting portion biases the other surface of the stepped portion of the protrusion in a predetermined direction, thereby applying a biasing force to the other surface, so that the head tip can be more stably clamped in the predetermined direction between the locking portion and the connecting portion. Therefore, the elongated body can be more stably held on the protrusion, and the attached state between the fixing member and the protrusion can be prevented from being unintentionally released due to vibration, etc.

[0016] In another aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion may have a plurality of extending pieces extending to one side of the specified direction, the engaging portion being provided on the extending pieces, and at least two of the plurality of extending pieces being arranged so as to sandwich the protruding portion in a direction intersecting the specified direction.

[0017] With this invention, by simply moving the connecting part from the other side to one side in the predetermined direction, the locking part can be locked to the step part in a state where at least two of the multiple extension pieces extending on one side of the predetermined direction sandwich the head tip in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction. Therefore, the holding part can be attached to the protruding part easily and stably with a simple structure.

[0018] Furthermore, even if there is little space around the protrusion through which the long body is routed, the holding portion can be attached to the protrusion simply by moving the connecting portion from the other side to one side in a specified direction, so that the long body can be efficiently routed to the attached member and interference between the long body and the surrounding members of the protrusion during the installation work can be prevented.

[0019] As another aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion may be provided with a recess recessed toward the other side in the predetermined direction so as to fit with the head tip portion along the predetermined direction. The recessed portion may be a through hole that passes through a portion of the connecting portion along the predetermined direction, or may be a recess that recesses a portion of the connecting portion toward the other side in the predetermined direction.

[0020] With this invention, the tip of the head can be fitted into the recess simply by moving the connecting part from the other side to one side in a specified direction, so that the connecting part can be easily assembled to the protruding part and the holding part can be stably attached to the protruding part.

[0021] In another aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion is provided with an extension portion extending toward one side of the specified direction, and a pair of protruding pieces protruding from the extension portion toward an intersecting direction that intersects the specified direction, and the protruding pieces may be the engaging portions that engage with the step portion.

[0022] According to this invention, the protruding piece protruding in the transverse direction can be engaged with the step portion simply by moving it in the transverse direction. In this way, the holding portion can be stably attached to the protruding portion with a simple structure in which a pair of protruding pieces protruding in the transverse direction from an extending portion extending in one direction and capable of being engaged with the step portion are provided.

[0023] In another aspect of the present invention, in the attached state, at least one of the protruding piece and the connecting portion may abut against a surface of the head tip portion that faces the predetermined direction and be biased in the predetermined direction.

[0024] According to this invention, in the attached state, at least one of the protruding piece and the connecting piece biases the other surface of the stepped portion of the protruding piece in a predetermined direction, thereby applying a biasing force to the other surface, so that the head tip can be more stably clamped in the predetermined direction between the protruding piece and the connecting piece. Therefore, the elongated body can be more stably held on the protruding piece, and the attached state between the fixing member and the protruding piece can be prevented from being unintentionally released due to vibration, etc.

[0025] As a further aspect of the present invention, a rotation restricting portion may be provided that restricts rotation of the holding portion relative to the protruding portion in the attached state. This invention can prevent unintended rotation of the holding portion attached to the protrusion, thereby enabling the wiring to be routed along a desired path and preventing the long body from interfering with other components.

[0026] In another aspect of the present invention, the rotation regulating portion may be provided with a contact surface that comes into surface contact with a plurality of surfaces that form corners of the head tip portion, which is formed in a regular polygonal shape when viewed from the specified direction. According to this invention, the rotation of the holding part attached to the protrusion can be restricted with a simple structure that simply has an abutment surface that makes surface contact with multiple surfaces that form the corners of the head tip, which is formed in a regular polygonal shape.

[0027] In another aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion is composed of a tubular body that can be divided circumferentially and is formed by assembling a plurality of segments that can be assembled to each other, and the tubular body has a storage section that forms a storage space that can store at least the tip of the head by assembling the segments circumferentially, and the storage section is provided with a locking protrusion that protrudes toward the storage space and engages with the step portion, and the locking protrusion may be the locking portion that engages with the step portion. The locking projection may be provided on each divided body or on only some of the divided bodies.

[0028] This invention allows the head tip to be accommodated in a part of the accommodation section of the divided body obtained by dividing the tubular body in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction, and the locking protrusion protruding into the accommodation space can be locked in the step section, thereby making it possible to easily attach the divided body to the head tip with the locking protrusion locked in the step section.

[0029] Then, by assembling another divided body from the transverse direction to the divided body attached to a part of the head tip, the head tip is accommodated in the accommodation part and the locking protrusions are locked in the stepped parts, forming a cylindrical body. In other words, the head tip is surrounded in the circumferential direction by multiple divided bodies and the locking protrusions can be locked in the stepped parts, preventing the cylindrical body from falling off in the transverse direction and the specified direction.

[0030] In another aspect of the present invention, a pivotal connection portion may be provided that connects the divided bodies together so that they can pivot. This invention allows the segments to be easily assembled by simply pivoting one of the segments connected by the pivot connector toward the other segment attached to the head tip. This allows the holder to be attached to the head tip efficiently. In addition, because the segments are connected by the pivot connector, the number of parts can be reduced.

[0031] In another aspect of the invention, the side of the attachment member relative to the step portion is defined as one side along the specified direction, and the side opposite the one side is defined as the other side, and the protrusion has a head tip portion on the other side of the step portion, and the attachment fixing portion is provided with a connecting portion that connects the holding portion and the locking portion, and a rotation regulating portion that is assembled to the head tip portion and regulates rotation of the holding portion relative to the protrusion, and the holding portion may be arranged in a direction that intersects the specified direction on the protrusion when attached to the attachment member.

[0032] According to this invention, in the installed state, the holding portion is arranged in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction relative to the protruding portion, so that the amount of protrusion along the predetermined direction of the elongated body held by the holding portion can be reduced compared to when the holding portion is arranged along the predetermined direction relative to the protruding portion, and the elongated body can be arranged along the desired wiring direction.

[0033] In another aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion has a storage portion in the attached state that can store the head tip portion, which is formed in a regular polygonal shape when viewed from the specified direction, and the storage portion is provided with the locking portion that protrudes inward and locks into the step portion, and the rotation regulating portion may be formed by recessing the connecting portion along the specified direction so as to fit with the head tip portion along the specified direction. The above-mentioned phrase "the connecting portion is formed by being recessed along the predetermined direction" includes a case where the connecting portion is recessed toward the other side of the predetermined direction, and a case where the connecting portion penetrates along the predetermined direction.

[0034] With this invention, unintentional rotation of the holding part attached to the protrusion can be restricted with a simple structure that simply involves moving the connecting part from the other side to one side in a specified direction and fitting the rotation restriction part into the tip of the head, which is formed in a regular polygonal shape.

[0035] Furthermore, even if there is little space around the protrusion through which the long body is routed, the holding portion can be easily attached to the protrusion by moving the connecting portion from the other side to one side in a specified direction, thereby allowing the long body to be efficiently routed to the attached member and preventing interference between the long body and the surrounding members of the protrusion during the installation work.

[0036] In another aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion may have a pair of protruding pieces that protrude in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction, and the protruding pieces may be the locking portion that locks onto the step portion.

[0037] According to this invention, the protruding pieces protruding in the transverse direction can be engaged with the step portion simply by moving the protruding pieces in the transverse direction. In this way, with a simple structure in which a pair of protruding pieces protruding in the transverse direction from the connecting portion and capable of being engaged with the step portion is provided, the holding portion can be stably attached to the protruding portion and rotation of the holding portion relative to the protruding portion can be restricted.

[0038] In another aspect of the present invention, the rotation regulating portion may be formed separately from the connecting portion, and the rotation regulating portion may be provided with a recess that can fit into the head tip portion that is formed in a regular polygonal shape when viewed from the specified direction, and a fixing portion that fixes the rotation regulating portion to the connecting portion.

[0039] This invention makes it possible to restrict the rotation of the retaining portion relative to the protrusion after the elongated body has been routed in the desired routing direction, thereby preventing the elongated body from being routed in a direction different from the desired routing direction. More specifically, when the locking portion is locked to the step portion, the routing direction of the elongated body held by the holding portion can be adjusted so that the elongated body is routed along a desired routing path. Thus, when the elongated body is routed in the desired routing direction, the recess can be fitted to the head tip, and the rotation restricting portion can be fixed to the connecting portion locked to the step portion. This restricts rotation of the holding portion relative to the protrusion when the elongated body is routed in the desired routing direction. Therefore, the elongated body can be reliably routed along the desired routing path, and unintentional interference of the routed elongated body with other nearby components can be prevented.

[0040] In another aspect of the present invention, the rotation restricting portion may be integrally formed with the connecting portion so as to be pivotable. According to this invention, the rotation restricting part can be fixed to the connecting part more easily by simply pivoting the rotation restricting part relative to the connecting part. In addition, because the rotation restricting part is integrally configured so as to be pivotable relative to the connecting part, the number of parts can be reduced.

[0041] In another aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion and the holding portion may be configured as separate bodies. According to this invention, by standardizing the assembly structure of the holding portion and connecting portion, which are configured separately, it is possible to assemble various types of holding portions and connecting portions. In other words, various holding portions corresponding to the outer shape and type of elongated body can be assembled to various connecting portions corresponding to the protrusions, so the total number of parts can be reduced compared to when the assembly structure of the holding portion and connecting portion is not standardized.

[0042] As another aspect of the present invention, a position adjustment portion may be provided that can adjust the position of the holding portion relative to the connecting portion. According to this invention, the position of the holding portion relative to the connecting portion can be adjusted, so that the elongated body can be routed along a desired routing path. [Effects of the Invention]

[0043] This invention makes it possible to provide a fixing member that can attach and fix a long body to a mounting member having a protrusion without providing a separate fixing structure, and a wire harness with a fixing member in which the fixing member is attached to a wire harness.

[0045] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. (First embodiment) FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a wire harness 1 with a fixing member, FIG. 2 is a schematic exploded perspective view of a fixing member 10, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are explanatory views of the fixing member 10. As shown in FIG. More specifically, Fig. 1(a) is a schematic perspective view of a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1 is attached to a bolt head 201, and Fig. 1(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1 is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 2(a) is a schematic exploded perspective view showing the back, left side, and top of the fixing member 10 and the bolt 200, and Fig. 2(b) is a schematic exploded perspective view showing the front, left side, and bottom of the fixing member 10 and the bolt 200. In Figs. 2(a) and 2(b), the bolt 200 is shown with a washer 203 attached. In Fig. 5 and subsequent corresponding drawings, the bolt 200 is also shown with the washer 203 attached.

[0046] Fig. 3(a) shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the central portion in the longitudinal direction L of the wire harness 1 with a fixing member attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 3(b) shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in Fig. 3(a). Fig. 4(a) shows a schematic cross-sectional view showing a method for assembling the fixing member 10, and Fig. 4(b) shows a schematic cross-sectional view showing a method for attaching the wire harness 1 with a fixing member to the bolt head 201. Figs. 4(a) and 4(b) are schematic cross-sectional views corresponding to Fig. 3(a).

[0047] Here, the direction in which the wire harness 100 in FIG. 1 extends is referred to as the longitudinal direction L, and the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and along the top and bottom is referred to as the height direction H. The direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and the height direction H is referred to as the width direction W. The left side along the longitudinal direction L is referred to as one side LA, and the right side along the longitudinal direction L is referred to as the other side LB. The lower side along the height direction H is referred to as the lower side HD, and the upper side is referred to as the upper side HU. The left side along the width direction W is referred to as the left side WL, and the right side along the width direction W is referred to as the right side WR.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 1, the wire harness 1 with fixing member is composed of a wire harness 100 that electrically connects electrical components mounted on a vehicle, and a fixing member 10 that holds the wire harness 100 and is attached to and fixed to a bolt head 201 of a bolt 200 provided on a body panel P of the vehicle. The wire harness 100 is a bundle of a plurality of covered electric wires that electrically connects electrical devices mounted on a vehicle, and may be routed while being bent three-dimensionally.

[0049] Next, we will explain the bolt 200 provided on the vehicle body panel P. The bolt 200 is a so-called hexagonal bolt, and as shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b), is integrally formed with a bolt head 201 and a threaded portion 202 extending from the bolt head 201.

[0050] The bolt head 201 is a portion that protrudes from the body panel P toward the upper side HU when fixed to the body panel P, and is formed in a generally hexagonal prism shape, that is, a regular hexagon when viewed from the height direction H, with a flange portion 211 that protrudes radially at its lower end. Furthermore, near the center of the generally hexagonal prism-shaped bolt head 201 in the height direction H, a stepped groove portion 212 that is concave along the circumferential direction is provided. Here, the portion of the bolt head 201 on the upper side HU above the stepped groove portion 212 is referred to as a head tip portion 201a.

[0051] The threaded portion 202 extending from the bolt head 201 configured in this manner is a generally cylindrical shape with a male thread on the surface, and is formed with a smaller diameter than the bolt head 201. The bolt 200 is fixed to the body panel P in such a manner that a washer 203 is disposed between the body panel P and the bolt head 201, and a nut 300 disposed on the back side of the body panel P is threadedly engaged with the threaded portion 202, so that the threaded portion 202 protrudes downward from the body panel P to the lower side HD.

[0052] The fixing member 10 that attaches and fixes the above-mentioned wire harness 100 to the bolt 200 configured in this manner is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20 that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30 that is connected to the harness holding portion 20 and attached to the bolt head 201, as shown in Figure 2.

[0053] As shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b), the harness holding portion 20 is a resin member composed of a holding portion 21 that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment portion 25 that is arranged on the lower side HD of the holding portion 21 and to which the connecting portion 31 described later is connected.

[0054] The holding portion 21 is a portion that holds the wire harness 100, and includes a buckle portion 22 that is arranged on the upper side HU of the mounting portion 25 described later, and a long band portion 24 that extends from the buckle portion 22.

[0055] The buckle portion 22 is integrally formed with a mounting portion 25, which will be described later, and has an upper surface serving as a placement surface 22a on which the wire harness 100 can be placed.

[0056] The length of the buckle portion 22 along the width direction W is shorter than the length of the attachment portion 25 along the width direction W.

[0057] The buckle portion 22 also has a band insertion hole 23 through which the band portion 24 can be inserted. The band insertion hole 23 has an engaged portion (not shown) formed therein that can be engaged with the engaging portion of the band portion 24. The band part 24 is a long strip extending from an end of the left side WL and upper side HU of the buckle part 22. The band part 24 can be inserted through the band insertion hole 23 from the right side WR toward the left side WL, and is provided with a locking part (not shown) that can be locked with an internal locked part when the band part 24 is inserted through the band insertion hole 23.

[0058] The wire harness 100 is placed with its longitudinal direction aligned on the above-mentioned placing surface 22a, and the band portion 24 is wound around the wire harness 100, and then inserted into and locked in the band insertion hole 23, whereby the wire harness 100 can be held by the buckle portion 22 and the band portion 24. In this manner, the wire harness 100 is held by the holding portion 21, and thus the wire harness 1 with a fixing member can be configured.

[0059] The mounting portion 25, which together with the holding portion 21 constitutes the harness holding portion 20, is a block-shaped portion having a predetermined thickness, and is provided with a connecting portion insertion hole 26 in the center portion in the height direction H and the longitudinal direction L. Note that both end portions of the mounting portion 25 in the longitudinal direction L are raised upward toward the upper side HU.

[0060] The connecting portion insertion hole 26 is a hole having a generally rectangular shape in a front view, through which an upper connecting plate 311 of the connecting portion 31 (described later) can be inserted, and is formed by recessing the mounting portion 25 from the right side WR to the left side WL. The connecting portion insertion hole 26 is formed at a location spaced a predetermined distance (referred to as distance C1) from the lower end of the mounting portion 25 (see FIG. 3(a)). A protrusion 27 is provided at the center of the connecting portion insertion hole 26 in the width direction W.

[0061] The protrusion 27 has a generally trapezoidal cross section, and is formed by raising a portion of the lower surface forming the connecting portion insertion hole 26 toward the upper side HU. The lower surface of the mounting portion 25 has a section cut out on the right side WR, and the end of the protrusion 27 on the right side WR is exposed (see FIG. 2(b)).

[0062] 2(a) and 2(b), the mounting and fixing part 30 that constitutes the fixing member 10 together with the harness holding part 20 configured in this manner is integrally formed of a connecting part 31 that is connected to the harness holding part 20 and a plurality of extension pieces 32 that extend from the connecting part 31. Unlike the harness holding part 20, the mounting and fixing part 30 is made of metal.

[0063] The connecting portion 31 is formed by bending an upper connecting plate 311, a lower connecting plate 312, and a bent portion 313 that connects the upper connecting plate 311 and the lower connecting plate 312 together. The upper connecting plate 311 has a rectangular plate shape in plan view with long sides along the width direction W, and is formed with a thickness and width that allows it to be inserted into the connecting portion insertion hole 26 of the holding portion 21. The upper connecting plate 311 also has a locking hole 314 in the center in the width direction W, with which the protrusion 27 of the holding portion 21 is locked.

[0064] The lower connecting plate 312 is formed in a generally trifurcated shape when viewed from the bottom, and is disposed at a predetermined distance on the upper side HU from the upper connecting plate 311. Further, extension pieces 32, which will be described later, extend from each tip of the lower connecting plate 312, which is formed in a generally trifurcated shape when viewed from the bottom, toward the lower side HD. The lower connecting plate 312 is disposed at a distance in the height direction H from the upper connecting plate 311 that is slightly wider than the distance C1 in the holding portion 21.

[0065] The bent-back portion 313 connecting the upper connecting plate 311 and the lower connecting plate 312 has a predetermined width that is narrower than the upper connecting plate 311 and is formed in an inverted C-shape when viewed from one side LA. The bent-back portion 313 formed in an inverted C-shape when viewed from one side LA connects the end of the right side WR of the upper connecting plate 311 to the end of the right side WR of the lower connecting plate 312.

[0066] The extension pieces 32 extending from each tip of the lower connecting plate 312, which is formed in an approximately trifurcated shape when viewed from the bottom, are leaf spring members extending toward the lower side HD, as shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b), and are provided with locking portions 33 formed by bending the tips of the extension pieces 32 toward the upper side HU.

[0067] The extension piece 32, which is made of a leaf spring member, is elastically deformable in the extension direction of the extension piece 32, i.e., in the height direction H and in a direction perpendicular to the main surface, and the inner surface of the main surface of the extension piece 32 at the mounting fixing portion 30 is used as the abutment surface 34 that abuts against the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0068] The locking portion 33 is a portion that is locked into the stepped groove portion 212 when the fixing member 10 is fixed to the bolt 200, and is formed by bending the tip portion of the extension piece 32 at an acute angle toward the upper side HU. The bending direction of the locking portion 33 is configured to be inward in the mounting fixing portion 30.

[0069] The extension pieces 32 configured in this manner extend from three locations, which are the respective tips of the lower connecting plate 312 that is formed in a roughly trifurcated shape when viewed from the bottom. Specifically, the extension piece 32 is provided at three locations in total: one at the end of the left side WL of the lower connecting plate 312, and one at each end portion in the longitudinal direction L at the end of the right side WR of the lower connecting plate 312 (see Figure 2(b)).

[0070] The fixing member 10 can be constructed by assembling the harness holding portion 20 and the mounting fixing portion 30, each of which has been constructed in this manner. 4(a), the upper connecting plate 311 of the connecting part 31 in the mounting / fixing part 30 is inserted into the connecting part insertion hole 26 in the attachment part 25 of the harness holding part 20. At this time, the protrusion 27 provided in the connecting part insertion hole 26 is engaged with the locking hole 314 provided in the upper connecting plate 311, thereby preventing the connecting part 31 from accidentally slipping out of the connecting part insertion hole 26. In this manner, the fixing member 10 can be formed by assembling the harness holding part 20 and the mounting / fixing part 30.

[0071] Furthermore, as described above, the fixing member 10 formed by assembling the harness holding portion 20 and the mounting and fixing portion 30 is placed at a predetermined location on the wire harness 100, the wire harness 100 is aligned with the mounting surface 22a of the buckle portion 22 of the holding portion 21, the band portion 24 is wrapped around the wire harness 100, and then inserted into the band insertion hole 23 and engaged, thereby forming a wire harness 1 with a fixing member in which the fixing member 10 is attached at a predetermined location on the wire harness 100.

[0072] The wire harness 1 with fixing member having each element configured in this manner can be fixed to a body panel P on which the bolt head 201 is provided by attaching and fixing the fixing member 10 to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, as shown in Figures 3 and 4.

[0073] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 4(b), the fixing member 10 attached to a predetermined location of the wire harness 100 in the fixing-member-equipped wire harness 1 is placed on the upper side HU of the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 provided in the body panel P. Then, the fixing member 10 is attached from the upper side HU of the bolt 200.

[0074] More specifically, the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 is attached so as to be covered by the lower connecting plate 312 and the extension piece 32 of the mounting / fixing part 30. At this time, the bottom surface of the lower connecting plate 312 faces the upper surface of the bolt head 201 in the height direction H, and the extension piece 32 faces three of the six side surfaces of the head tip part 201a, which is formed into a hexagonal prism shape in a plan view, and the three side surfaces of the head tip part 201a and the abutment surface 34 abut against each other.

[0075] Furthermore, locking portion 33 provided at the tip of extension piece 32 locks into stepped groove portion 212 provided near the center of bolt head 201 in the height direction H. Therefore, locking portion 33 locks into stepped groove portion 212 provided along the circumferential direction from three directions spaced apart by a predetermined distance, preventing inadvertent detachment of mounting / fixing portion 30 from bolt head 201, and allowing fixing member 10 to be securely attached to bolt head 201. Therefore, wire harness 100 can be attached to body panel P.

[0076] In wire harness 1 with fixing member attached to bolt head 201, extension pieces 32 that grip bolt head 201 are provided at three locations along the circumferential direction of bolt head 201 as described above. This makes it possible to restrict relative rotation between bolt head 201 and fixing member 10 attached to bolt head 201. In other words, extension pieces 32 can function as rotation restricting portions 11 that restrict relative rotation between bolt head 201 and fixing member 10.

[0077] In the above description, the harness holding portion 20 and the mounting and fixing portion 30 are assembled together, and the fixing member 10 attached to a predetermined position on the wire harness 100 is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200. However, the mounting and fixing portion 30 may be attached to the bolt 200 first, and then the mounting and fixing portion 30 attached to the bolt 200 and the harness holding portion 20 that holds the wire harness 100 with the holding portion 21 may be assembled.

[0078] Specifically, the mounting and fixing part 30 is attached to the bolt head 201 . More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the lower connecting plate 312 is placed on the upper side HU of the head tip portion 201a, and then the mounting / fixing part 30 is moved to the lower side HD. At this time, the mounting / fixing part 30 is moved while the surfaces constituting the corners of the head tip portion 201a, which is hexagonal in plan view, come into surface contact with the abutment surfaces 34 of the extension pieces 32 at three locations. When the mounting / fixing part 30 is moved to the lower side HD to a predetermined position, the locking portions 33 fit into the stepped grooves 212. This allows the head tip portion 201a to be gripped circumferentially by the three extension pieces 32, allowing the mounting / fixing part 30 to be attached and fixed to the bolt head 201.

[0079] Next, the harness holding portion 20 holding the wire harness 100 and the mounting and fixing portion 30 are assembled together. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 4(b), the upper connecting plate 311 is inserted into the connecting portion insertion hole 26. When the upper connecting plate 311 is inserted to a predetermined position, the protrusion 27 is inserted into the locking hole 314. This makes it possible to restrict relative movement between the harness holding portion 20 and the mounting and fixing portion 30, and also makes it possible to integrally assemble the harness holding portion 20, which holds the wire harness 100, and the mounting and fixing portion 30.

[0080] In this way, the fixing member 10 can be formed by assembling the harness holding portion 20 that holds the wire harness 100 and the mounting and fixing portion 30 together, and the wire harness 1 with the fixing member can be attached and fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 provided on the body panel P.

[0081] As described above, the fixing member 10 that attaches and fixes the wire harness 100 to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 of the body panel P includes a harness holding portion 20 that holds the wire harness 100, and an attachment / fixing portion 30 that is connected to the harness holding portion 20 and is attached to the bolt head 201 that protrudes from the body panel P along the height direction H, and the attachment / fixing portion 30 is provided with a locking portion 33 that is provided on the bolt head 201 and engages with a step groove portion 212 that forms a step in a direction intersecting the height direction H. The wire harness 1 with fixing member includes a wire harness 100 to be routed in a vehicle and the fixing member 10 described above, and the wire harness 100 is held by a harness holding portion 20.

[0082] Therefore, the fixing member 10 and the wire harness 1 with the fixing member can achieve the main effect of being able to attach and fix the wire harness 100 to the body panel P without providing a separate fixing structure, even if the body panel P has a bolt head 201.

[0083] In more detail, the mounting fixing portion 30 connected to the harness holding portion 20 that holds the wire harness 100 is provided with a locking portion 33 that is provided on the bolt head 201 that protrudes in the height direction H from the body panel P and that locks into a step groove portion 212 that forms a step in a direction intersecting the height direction H.

[0084] This allows the wire harness 100 held by the harness holding portion 20 to be attached and fixed to the bolt head 201, and the locking portion 33 can reliably maintain the attached state of the fixing member 10 to the bolt head 201. Therefore, the wire harness 100 held by the harness holding portion 20 can be attached and fixed to the bolt head 201 without providing a separate fixing structure for fixing the wire harness 100 to the body panel P. Furthermore, the degree of freedom in the routing of the wire harness 100 can be improved.

[0085] Further, along the height direction H, the side of the body panel P relative to the step groove portion 212 is the lower side HD, and the side opposite the lower side HD is the upper side HU, and the mounting fixing portion 30 is provided with a connecting portion 31 that connects the harness holding portion 20 and the engaging portion 33, and the bolt head 201 has a head tip portion 201a provided on the upper side HU above the step groove portion 212, and the harness holding portion 20 is positioned on the upper side HU of the head tip portion 201a when mounted on the body panel P.

[0086] This allows the wire harness 100 to be routed on the upper side HU of the head tip portion 201a, thereby improving the freedom of the routing path of the wire harness 100 and achieving a second effect of reliably preventing interference between the bolt head 201 and the wire harness 100.

[0087] In addition, the connecting portion 31 is provided with three extension pieces 32 extending downward HD in the height direction H, and the extension pieces 32 are provided with locking portions 33, and the three extension pieces 32 are arranged so as to sandwich the bolt head 201 in a direction perpendicular to the height direction H.

[0088] As a result, by simply moving the connecting portion 31 from the upper side HU toward the lower side HD in the height direction H, the locking portion 33 can be locked in the stepped groove portion 212 with the three extension pieces 32 extending toward the lower side HD in the height direction H sandwiching the head tip portion 201a in a direction perpendicular to the height direction H. Therefore, a third effect can be achieved in that the harness holding portion 20 can be easily attached to the bolt head 201 with a simple structure.

[0089] Furthermore, even if there is little space around the bolt head 201 through which the wire harness 100 is routed, the harness holding portion 20 can be easily attached to the bolt head 201 simply by moving it from the upper side HU toward the lower side HD, thereby achieving a fourth effect of enabling the work of routing the wire harness 100 in the body panel P to be carried out efficiently.

[0090] Furthermore, the connecting portion 31 and the harness holding portion 20 that constitute the mounting and fixing portion 30 are configured as separate bodies. According to this, by standardizing the assembly structure of the harness holding portion 20 and the connecting portion 31, which are configured separately, it is possible to assemble various types of harness holding portions and mounting / fixing portions having the connecting portion 31. In other words, since various harness holding portions corresponding to the outer shape and type of the wire harness 100 can be assembled to various mounting / fixing portions corresponding to the bolt head 201, a fifth effect can be achieved in that the total number of parts can be reduced compared to when the assembly structure of the harness holding portion 20 and the connecting portion is not standardized.

[0091] Furthermore, since the rotation restricting portion 11 is provided to restrict rotation of the harness holding portion 20 relative to the bolt head 201 in the attached state, it is possible to restrict rotation of the harness holding portion 20 attached to the bolt head 201. Therefore, a sixth effect can be achieved in which the wire harness 100 can be routed along a desired routing path and the wire harness 100 held by the harness holding portion 20 can be prevented from unintentionally interfering with other members.

[0092] In addition, the extension piece 32, which functions as the rotation regulating portion 11, is provided with an abutment surface 34 that comes into surface contact with one of the six side surfaces that form the corners of the head tip portion 201a, which is formed in a regular hexagonal shape when viewed from the height direction H. This provides a seventh effect of restricting rotation of the harness holding portion 20 attached to the bolt head 201 with a simple structure that simply includes an abutment surface 34 that comes into surface contact with any of the six side surfaces that form the corners of the head tip portion 201a, which is formed in a regular hexagonal shape.

[0093] (Second embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10a and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1a according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the same components as those described above will be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0094] Here, Fig. 5(a) is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1a is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 5(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1a is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 6(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side and plan of the fixing member 10a and the bolt 200, and Fig. 6(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side and bottom of the fixing member 10a and the bolt 200.

[0095] FIG. 7(a) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the central portion in the longitudinal direction L of the wire harness with fixing member 1a attached to the bolt head 201, and FIG. 7(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the arrow BB in FIG. 7(a).

[0096] The fixing member 10a shown in Figures 5 to 7 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20 that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30a that is connected to the harness holding portion 20 and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H.

[0097] The mounting and fixing part 30a, which constitutes the fixing member 10a together with the harness holding part 20, has the same shape as the mounting and fixing part 30, except that a lower connecting plate 312a is provided instead of the lower connecting plate 312, and an extension piece 32a is provided instead of the extension piece 32. In the mounting and fixing part 30a, the length of the bent-back part 313 along the longitudinal direction L is formed to be approximately equal to the length of the upper connecting plate 311 along the longitudinal direction L.

[0098] The lower connecting plate 312a is formed to be wider than the upper connecting plate 311 in a bottom view, and is disposed at a predetermined distance on the upper side HU from the upper connecting plate 311. Further, extension pieces 32a extend from both ends in the longitudinal direction L of the lower connecting plate 312a toward the lower side HD.

[0099] As shown in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b), the extension pieces 32a are a pair of leaf spring members that extend downward to the HD. Specifically, the extension piece 32a extends outward in the longitudinal direction L from the lower connecting plate 312, is then bent once at a predetermined bending angle toward the lower side HD, and is then further bent inward in the width direction W at an angle slightly smaller than the first bending angle. Like the extension piece 32, the extension piece 32a made of a plate spring member is elastically deformable in the extension direction of the extension piece 32a, that is, in the height direction H and in a direction perpendicular to the main surface.

[0100] The extension piece 32a has a locking portion 33a formed by bending the tip end thereof toward the upper side HU. The locking portion 33a is a portion that is locked into the stepped groove portion 212 when the fixing member 10a is attached and fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, and is formed by bending the tip portion of the extension piece 32 at a slightly acute angle toward the upper side HU. The bending direction of the locking portion 33 is configured to be inward in the mounting and fixing part 30. The locking portion 33a also has an arc-shaped notch 35 in the center in the width direction W (see FIG. 6(b)).

[0101] Notch 35 is a location that engages with a cylindrical portion (referred to as cylindrical portion 212a) inside stepped groove portion 212 when fixing member 10a is attached and fixed to bolt head 201 of bolt 200. Therefore, the bending radius of the edge that forms notch 35 is formed to be approximately equal to the diameter of cylindrical portion 212a.

[0102] The fixing member 10a configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, forms a wire harness with fixing member 1a, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness with fixing member 1a to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0103] Furthermore, the fixing member 10a and the fixing member-equipped wire harness 1a configured as described above can achieve the following effects in addition to the main effect and the second to fifth effects of the first embodiment.

[0104] Specifically, when the fixing member 10a is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the arc-shaped notch 35 is locked to the cylindrical portion 212a. This allows the fixing member 10a to be rotatably attached to the bolt head 201. Therefore, even after the fixing member 10a holding the wire harness 100 is attached to the bolt head 201, the fixing member 10a can be rotated relative to the bolt head 201 to change the routing path of the wire harness 100, which is the first effect of the second embodiment.

[0105] Furthermore, because the extension pieces 32a extend so as to face each other in the longitudinal direction L, the fixing member 10a can be attached to the bolt head 201 not only from the upper side HU but also along the width direction W. Therefore, even if the space on the upper side HU of the bolt head 201 is limited due to the layout around the bolt head 201 in the vehicle, for example, the fixing member 10a can be attached to the bolt head 201 simply by moving the fixing member 10a in the width direction W. This achieves the second effect of the second embodiment, that is, the versatility of the fixing member 10a can be improved.

[0106] (Third embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10b and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1b according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 8(a) is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1b is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 8(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1b is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 9(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side and plan of the fixing member 10b and the bolt 200, and Fig. 9(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side and bottom of the fixing member 10b and the bolt 200.

[0107] The fixing member 10b shown in Figures 8 and 9 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20 that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30b that is connected to the harness holding portion 20 and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H.

[0108] 9, the mounting fixing portion 30b, which constitutes the fixing member 10b together with the harness holding portion 20, does not have a bent-back portion 313 provided in the connecting portion 31, and a lower connecting plate 312a extends from the end of the right side WR of the upper connecting plate 311, and an extending piece 32a extends from the lower connecting plate 312a. Therefore, the extending piece 32a is disposed on the right side WR of the upper connecting plate 311.

[0109] The lower connecting plate 312a extending from the upper connecting plate 311 is formed so that the extension length toward the right side WR is approximately equal to the length along the width direction W of the extension piece 32a. Furthermore, the portion of the mounting and fixing portion 30b that is inserted into the connecting portion insertion hole 26, that is, the length along the width direction W of the upper connecting plate 311, is formed to be approximately equal to the length of the mounting and fixing portions 30, 30a.

[0110] The fixing member 10b configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness with fixing member 1b, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness with fixing member 1b to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0111] Furthermore, the fixing member 10b and the wire harness 1b with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the following effects in addition to the main effect, the second to fifth effects in the first embodiment, and the first effect in the second embodiment.

[0112] Specifically, in the mounting fastening portion 30b, the lower connecting plate 312a extends from the upper connecting plate 311, and therefore, when the harness holding portion 20 and the mounting fastening portion 30b are assembled together, the harness holding portion 20 is positioned at a distance from the bolt 200 by the width of the extension piece 32a compared to the mounting fastening portion 30a (see FIG. 8(a)). In other words, since the wire harness 100 can be routed at a distance from the bolt 200, the first effect of the third embodiment can be achieved, that is, the wire harness 100 can be prevented from interfering with the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 and being damaged.

[0113] (Fourth embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10c and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1c according to a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 10(a) is a schematic perspective view of the wire harness with fixing member 1c attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 10(b) is a schematic perspective view showing how the wire harness with fixing member 1c is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 11(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side, and plan of the fixing member 10c and the bolt 200, and Fig. 11(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side, and bottom of the fixing member 10c and the bolt 200. Fig. 12(a) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the center in the longitudinal direction L of the wire harness with fixing member 1c attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 12(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along arrow CC in Fig. 12(a).

[0114] The fixing member 10c shown in Figures 10 to 12 differs from the fixing member 10 described above in that the harness holding portion 20c that holds the wire harness 100 and the mounting / fixing portion 30c that is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H are integrally formed from a resin material.

[0115] The harness holding portion 20c has the same shape as the harness holding portion 20, etc., except that the connecting portion insertion hole 26 and the protrusion 27 are not provided. The mounting and fixing portion 30c formed integrally with the harness holding portion 20c is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped arc walls 36 protruding from the lower surface of the mounting portion 25 of the harness holding portion 20c, as shown in FIG.

[0116] The arc walls 36 protrude from three locations on the underside of the mounting portion 25, and are all formed to have the same shape. Specifically, the arc walls 36 protrude in three directions at equal intervals in the circumferential direction from the underside of the mounting portion 25. The arc walls 36 are formed so that their bending radius is larger than the radial size of the bolt head 201. The upper ends HU of the arc walls 36 provided at these three locations are connected to each other by an annular member.

[0117] The arc wall 36 thus configured has ribs 37 on its inner peripheral surface, as shown in the enlarged view of part a in FIG. 11(b). The rib 37 extends radially inward from the center of the arc wall 36 in the height direction H. The rib 37 is formed with a width that allows it to be inserted into the stepped groove portion 212, and the radially inner surface is inclined inward in the width direction W as it extends toward the upper side HU.

[0118] The fixing member 10c configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness 1c with a fixing member, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1c with a fixing member to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0119] Furthermore, the fixing member 10c and the fixing member-equipped wire harness 1c configured as described above can achieve the following effects in addition to the main effect and the second to seventh effects of the first embodiment. Specifically, since the rib 37 and the arc wall 36 sandwich the bolt head 201 in the height direction H, the harness holding portion 20c can be stably attached to the bolt head 201. Therefore, the first effect of the fourth embodiment, that is, the wire harness 100 routed so as to be spaced apart from the body panel P toward the upper side HU, can be stably held, can be achieved.

[0120] Furthermore, since the harness holding portion 20c that holds the wire harness 100 and the mounting and fixing portion 30c that is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 are integrally configured, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 simply by attaching the harness holding portion 20c that holds the wire harness 100 to the bolt head 201. That is, the number of parts that make up the fixing member 10c can be reduced, and the second effect of the fourth embodiment can be achieved, that is, the workability of the work of fixing the wire harness 100 to the body panel P can be improved.

[0121] (Fifth embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10d and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1d according to a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 13(a) is an explanatory diagram of a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1d is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 13(b) is an explanatory diagram showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1d is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 14(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side, and plan of the fixing member 10d and the bolt 200, and Fig. 14(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side, and bottom of the fixing member 10d and the bolt 200. Fig. 15(a) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the center of the fixing member 10d in the longitudinal direction L, Fig. 15(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD in Fig. 15(a), and Fig. 15(c) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line EE in Fig. 15(a).

[0122] The fixing member 10d shown in Figures 13 to 15 is integrally formed of a resin material and includes a harness holding portion 20c that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30d that is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H.

[0123] The mounting and fixing portion 30d formed integrally with the harness holding portion 20c is formed by a cylindrical portion 36d that protrudes from the lower surface of the mounting portion 25 of the harness holding portion 20c, as shown in FIG.

[0124] 14(b), cylindrical portion 36d has an inverted concave cross section that protrudes from the lower surface of mounting portion 25, and is provided on its inner circumferential surface with ribs 37 similar to those of fixing member 10c described above, as well as a fitting portion 38. Here, the space formed inside cylindrical portion 36d is referred to as internal space S1.

[0125] As shown in FIGS. 15(b) and 15(c), the fitting portion 38 is formed so that the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 36d has a regular twelve-pointed star shape when viewed from the bottom. In detail, the fitting portion 38 is composed of two regular hexagons that have the same shape as the bolt head 201 when viewed in plan, and when viewed in plan, one of the two regular hexagons is rotated 30 degrees relative to the other and overlapped.

[0126] The fixing member 10d configured in this manner constitutes a wire harness 1d with a fixing member, similar to the fixing member 10 described above, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1d with a fixing member to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0127] Furthermore, the fixing member 10d and the wire harness 1d with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the following effects in addition to the main effect, the second effect, the fifth effect, and the sixth effect in the first embodiment, and the first effect in the fourth embodiment.

[0128] Specifically, the cylindrical portion 36d is formed in a recess recessed upward in the height direction H so as to fit with the head tip portion 201a of the bolt head 201 along the height direction H. As a result, the head tip portion 201a can be fitted into the cylindrical portion 36d simply by moving the cylindrical portion 36d from the upper side HU toward the lower side HD in the height direction H, thereby achieving the first effect of embodiment 5, in that the connecting portion 31 can be easily assembled to the bolt head 201 and the harness holding portion 20c can be stably attached to the bolt head 201.

[0129] Furthermore, when fixing member 10d is attached to bolt head 201 of bolt 200, a corner of bolt head 201 fits into fitting portion 38. This makes it possible to restrict relative rotation between bolt head 201 and fixing member 10d in the attached state in which fixing member 10d is attached to bolt head 201 of bolt 200. In other words, it is possible to achieve the second effect of the fifth embodiment, that is, fitting portion 38 can function as rotation restricting portion 11d that restricts relative rotation between bolt head 201 and fixing member 10d.

[0130] (Sixth embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10e and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1e according to a sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 16(a) is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1e is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 16(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1e is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 17(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side, and plan of the fixing member 10e and the bolt 200, and Fig. 17(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side, and bottom of the fixing member 10e and the bolt 200.

[0131] The fixing member 10e shown in Figures 16 and 17 is made of a resin material and integrally comprises a harness holding portion 20e that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30e that is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H.

[0132] The harness holding portion 20e is a plate-like portion having a predetermined width on which the wire harness 100 can be placed. The wire harness 100 placed on the harness holding portion 20e is fixed by being wrapped with tape at two locations as shown in FIG.

[0133] The mounting and fixing portion 30e, which is formed integrally with the harness holding portion 20e, is formed of a plate portion 40 that projects from the harness holding portion 20e and has an arc-shaped tip. The plate portion 40 is a plate-like member that protrudes from the center of the harness holding portion 20e in the longitudinal direction L toward the right side WR, and has an arc-shaped tip. The plate portion 40 has a bolt insertion hole 39 in its center in a plan view.

[0134] The bolt insertion hole 39 is a through-hole that has a regular hexagonal shape in plan view, which is substantially the same shape as the bolt head 201 in plan view, and is formed to allow the bolt head 201 to be inserted therethrough. Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the bolt insertion hole 39, a locking piece 39e that can be locked with the stepped groove portion 212 is provided, as shown in the enlarged view of portion c in Fig. 17(a).

[0135] The locking pieces 39e have a right-angled triangular cross section and protrude from the inner circumferential surface of the bolt insertion hole 39. The radially inner surfaces of the locking pieces 39e incline radially inward as they approach the upper side HU. The locking pieces 39e are located at positions where they can be locked into the stepped groove portions 212 when the bolt head 201 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole 39. The locking pieces 39e configured in this manner are located on each of the six surfaces that form the bolt insertion hole 39.

[0136] The fixing member 10e configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness with fixing member 1e, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness with fixing member 1e to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0137] In addition, in an attached state in which fixing member 10e is attached to bolt head 201 of bolt 200, bolt head 201 is inserted into bolt insertion hole 39. Since bolt insertion hole 39 is formed in substantially the same shape as bolt head 201 in a plan view as described above, relative rotation between inserted bolt head 201 and fixing member 10e can be restricted. In other words, bolt insertion hole 39 can function as a rotation restricting portion 11e that restricts relative rotation between bolt head 201 and fixing member 10e.

[0138] Furthermore, the fixing member 10d and the fixing member-equipped wire harness 1d configured as described above can achieve the following effects in addition to the main effect and the sixth effect of the first embodiment. Specifically, along the height direction H, the side of the body panel P relative to the step groove portion 212 is the lower side HD, and the side opposite the lower side HD is the upper side HU. In the bolt head 201, a head tip portion 201a is provided on the upper side HU above the step groove portion 212. The mounting fixing portion 30e is provided with a plate portion 40 that connects the harness holding portion 20e and the locking piece 39e, and a bolt insertion hole 39 that, when assembled to the head tip portion 201a, constitutes a rotation regulating portion 11e that regulates rotation of the harness holding portion 20e relative to the bolt head 201. When mounted on the body panel P, the harness holding portion 20e is positioned on the left side WL of the bolt head 201 in the width direction W that intersects with the height direction H.

[0139] As a result, in the installed state, the harness holding portion 20e is positioned on the left side WL relative to the bolt head 201, so that the amount of protrusion of the wire harness 100 held by the harness holding portion 20e toward the upper side HU can be reduced compared to when the harness holding portion 20e is positioned on the upper side HU in the height direction H relative to the bolt head 201, and the first effect of the sixth embodiment, that is, the wire harness 100 can be routed along the desired routing direction, can be achieved.

[0140] Furthermore, when the plate portion 40 is attached to the body panel P, it has a bolt insertion hole 39 that can accommodate a bolt head 201 that is formed in a regular hexagonal shape when viewed from the height direction H, and the bolt insertion hole 39 is provided with a locking piece 39e that protrudes inward and locks into the stepped groove portion 212, and the bolt insertion hole 39 that constitutes the rotation regulating portion 11e is formed by recessing the plate portion 40 along the height direction H so that it can fit with the bolt head 201 along the height direction H.

[0141] This makes it possible to achieve the second effect of the sixth embodiment, that is, to restrict unintentional rotation of the harness holding portion 20e attached to the bolt head 201 with a simple structure that simply involves moving the plate portion 40 from the upper side HU in the height direction H toward the lower side HD and fitting the bolt insertion hole 39 into the bolt head 201, which is formed in a regular hexagonal shape.

[0142] (Seventh embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10f and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1f according to a seventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Here, Figure 18(a) shows a schematic oblique view of the state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1f is attached to the bolt head 201, and Figure 18(b) is a schematic oblique view showing the manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1f is attached to the bolt head 201.

[0143] The fixing member 10f shown in Figure 18 is integrally formed from a resin material and includes a harness holding portion 20e that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30f that is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H.

[0144] The mounting and fixing portion 30f formed integrally with the harness holding portion 20e has the same shape as the mounting and fixing portion 30e, except that a locking leaf spring 39f is provided instead of the locking piece 39e. As shown in the enlarged view of portion d in Figure 18(a), the locking leaf spring 39f is a leaf spring member that protrudes from the lower end of the inner circumferential surface of the bolt insertion hole 39 and is formed by bending the leaf spring member that protrudes radially inward from the lower end of the inner circumferential surface of the bolt insertion hole 39 upward toward the HU. The locking leaf spring 39f formed from the leaf spring member is configured to be elastically deformable in the direction in which the locking leaf spring 39f extends, that is, in the height direction H and in a direction perpendicular to the main surface. The locking leaf springs 39f configured in this manner are provided on three of the six surfaces that form the bolt insertion hole 39.

[0145] The fixing member 10f configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness 1f with a fixing member, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1f to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0146] Furthermore, the fixing member 10f and the fixing-member-equipped wire harness 1f configured in this manner can achieve the same effect as the main effect of the first embodiment, the sixth effect, and the first effect of the sixth embodiment.

[0147] (Eighth embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10g and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1g according to an eighth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 19(a) is a schematic perspective view of a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1g is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 19(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1g is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 20(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side, and plan of the fixing member 10g and the bolt 200, and Fig. 20(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side, and bottom of the fixing member 10g and the bolt 200. Fig. 21(a) is a schematic side view of the wire harness with fixing member 1g attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 21(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the arrow FF in Fig. 21(a).

[0148] The fixing member 10g shown in Figures 19 to 21 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20g that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30g that is connected to the harness holding portion 20g and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P along the height direction H.

[0149] The harness holding portion 20g has the same shape as the harness holding portion 20, except that the mounting portion 25 is provided with a protrusion 251. The protruding portion 251 has an arc shape that protrudes toward the downward side HD from near the lower end of the right side WR of the mounting portion 25. The protruding portion 251 is formed in an arc shape that protrudes toward the right side WR, and has a fitting portion 252 formed on the surface of the left side WL.

[0150] The fitting portion 252 has the same shape as a part of the fitting portion 38 in the fifth embodiment when viewed from the bottom. More specifically, the fitting portion 252 is formed by molding a regular twelve-pointed star shape, similar to the fitting portion 38, on the surface on the left side WL of the protruding portion 251 along approximately half the circumference in the circumferential direction.

[0151] The mounting and fixing portion 30g, which together with the harness holding portion 20g constitute the fixing member 10g, has substantially the same shape as the above-mentioned mounting and fixing portion 30, except that a lower connecting plate 312g is provided instead of the lower connecting plate 312, and an extension piece 32g is provided instead of the extension piece 32.

[0152] As shown in Figures 20(a) and 20(b), the lower connecting plate 312b extends from the end of the lower side HD of the bent-back portion 313 to the left side WL, and the end of the left side WL is formed in an approximately bifurcated shape, branching along the longitudinal direction L when viewed from the bottom.

[0153] The bent portion 313 in the mounting fixing portion 30g is formed so that its length along the longitudinal direction L is equal to the length along the longitudinal direction L of the upper connecting plate 311, and its height along the height direction H is greater than the height along the height direction H of the bolt head 201.

[0154] The extension pieces 32b extending from each end of the lower connecting plate 312b, which is formed in an approximately bifurcated shape when viewed from the bottom, are a pair of leaf spring members extending to the left side WL, as shown in Figures 20(a) and 20(b), and have a bending portion 321 and a locking protrusion 322.

[0155] The bent portion 321 is provided in the middle of the extending piece 32b, which is a leaf spring member, and is a bent portion that has a mountain-like shape in a side view and protrudes toward the upward side HU. The height of the bent portion 321 in the height direction H is formed to be approximately equal to the height of the stepped groove portion 212 of the bolt 200 in the height direction H.

[0156] The locking projection 322 is a portion that prevents the extension piece 32b inserted into the stepped groove portion 212 from slipping out, and is an arc-shaped projection that projects inward in the longitudinal direction L from near the tip of the extension piece 32b. 20(a) and 20(b), the extending pieces 32b configured in this manner extend from two locations, that is, from both ends in the longitudinal direction L, which are the respective tips of the lower connecting plate 312, which is formed in a generally bifurcated shape when viewed from the bottom. Furthermore, the extending pieces 32b, which are made of leaf spring members, are elastically deformable in the extending direction of the extending pieces 32b, that is, in the height direction H and in a direction perpendicular to the main surface.

[0157] Furthermore, the fixing member 10g configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness 1g with a fixing member, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1g to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0158] When fixing member 10g is attached to bolt head 201 of bolt 200, a corner at head tip 201a fits into a corner at fitting portion 252. This makes it possible to restrict relative rotation between bolt head 201 and fixing member 10g in an attached state in which fixing member 10d is attached to bolt head 201 of bolt 200. In other words, fitting portion 252 can function as rotation restricting portion 11g that restricts relative rotation between bolt head 201 and fixing member 10d.

[0159] Furthermore, the fixing member 10g and the wire harness 1g with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the following effects in addition to the main effect, the second effect, the fourth to sixth effects in the first embodiment, and the second effect in the fifth embodiment.

[0160] Specifically, in the attached state, the extension piece 32b having the bent portion 321 abuts against a surface of the bolt head 201 facing the height direction H, and biases the bolt head 201 in the height direction H. As a result, in the attached state, extension piece 32b biases the surface on the upper side HU of the surfaces of bolt head 201 that form stepped groove portion 212, thereby applying a biasing force to the surface on the upper side HU, so that bolt head 201 can be more stably sandwiched between extension piece 32b and coupling portion 31 in the height direction H. Therefore, since wire harness 100 can be more stably held on bolt head 201, it is possible to achieve the first effect of the eighth embodiment, that is, it is possible to prevent the attached state between fixing member 10g and bolt head 201 from being unintentionally released due to vibration or the like.

[0161] In addition, the connecting portion 31 is provided with a bent portion 313 extending toward the downward side HD in the height direction H, and a pair of extending pieces 32b protruding from the bent portion 313 toward the width direction W intersecting with the height direction H, and the extending pieces 32b are engaged with the step groove portion 212.

[0162] As a result, by simply moving the extension pieces 32b in the width direction W, the extension pieces 32b protruding in the width direction W can be locked in the stepped groove portion 212. In this way, with a simple structure in which the pair of extension pieces 32b protruding in the width direction W from the bent-back portion 313 extending toward the downward side HD in the height direction H and capable of being locked in the stepped groove portion 212 are provided, the second effect of the eighth embodiment, that is, the harness holding portion 20g can be stably attached to the bolt head 201, can be achieved.

[0163] (Ninth embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10h and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1h according to a ninth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 22(a) is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1h is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 22(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1h is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 23(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side, and plan of the fixing member 10h and the bolt 200, and Fig. 23(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side, and bottom of the fixing member 10h and the bolt 200.

[0164] The fixing member 10h shown in Figures 22 and 23 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20 that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30g that is connected to the harness holding portion 20 and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P along the height direction H.

[0165] The fixing member 10h configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness 1h with a fixing member, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1h with a fixing member to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0166] Furthermore, the fixing member 10h and the wire harness 1h with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the same effect as the main effect in the first embodiment, the second and fifth effects, the first and second effects in the eighth embodiment, and the first effect in the second embodiment.

[0167] (Tenth embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10i and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1i according to a tenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 24(a) is a schematic perspective view of the wire harness with fixing member 1i attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 24(b) is a schematic perspective view showing how the wire harness with fixing member 1i is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 25(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side, and plan of the fixing member 10i and the bolt 200, and Fig. 25(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side, and bottom of the fixing member 10i and the bolt 200. Fig. 26(a) is a schematic side view of the wire harness with fixing member 1i attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 26(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line FF in Fig. 26(a).

[0168] The fixing member 10i shown in Figures 24 and 26 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20g that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30i that is connected to the harness holding portion 20g and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P along the height direction H.

[0169] The mounting fixing portion 30i, which together with the harness holding portion 20g constitutes the fixing member 10i, does not have a lower connecting plate 312, has a bent portion 313i instead of the bent portion 313, and has an extension piece 32i extending from the bent portion 313i, and is of approximately the same shape as the mounting fixing portion 30g.

[0170] As shown in Figures 25(a) and 25(b), the bent-back portion 313i is formed by bending a plate member extending from the end of the right side WR of the upper connecting plate 311 to a width slightly narrower than the width of the upper connecting plate 311 toward the lower side HD. The bent-back portion 313i is widened near the end of the lower side HD to a width substantially equal to that of the upper connecting plate 311. The extending piece 32i extends from the widened portion of the bent-back portion 313i. That is, when viewed from the longitudinal direction L, the bent-back portion 313i is disposed between the upper connecting plate 311 and the extending piece 32i.

[0171] 25(a) and 25(b), the extension pieces 32i are a pair of leaf spring members extending to the left side WL, and have at their tip portions bent portions 323 bent inward in the longitudinal direction L. The extension pieces 32i extend from the bent-back portions 313i so that the width of the extension pieces 32i is along the height direction H, i.e., vertically.

[0172] The fixing member 10i configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness with fixing member 1i, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness with fixing member 1i to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0173] Furthermore, the fixing member 10i and the wire harness 1i with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the same effects as the main effect of the first embodiment, the second and fifth effects, the first effect of the second embodiment, the first effect of the fourth embodiment, and the second effect of the eighth embodiment.

[0174] (Eleventh embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10j and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1j according to an eleventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 27(a) is a schematic perspective view of a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1j is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 27(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1j is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 28(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side, and plan of the fixing member 10j and the bolt 200, and Fig. 28(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side, and bottom of the fixing member 10j and the bolt 200.

[0175] The fixing member 10j shown in Figures 27 and 28 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20 that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30i that is connected to the harness holding portion 20 and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H.

[0176] The fixing member 10j configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness 1j with a fixing member, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1j with a fixing member to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0177] Furthermore, the fixing member 10j and the wire harness 1j with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the same effects as the main effect of the first embodiment, the second and fifth effects, the first effect of the second embodiment, the first effect of the fourth embodiment, and the second effect of the eighth embodiment.

[0178] (Twelfth embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10k and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1k according to a twelfth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 29 and 30. FIG. Here, Fig. 29(a) is a schematic perspective view of a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1k is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 29(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1k is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 30(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side, and plan of the fixing member 10k and the bolt 200, and Fig. 30(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side, and bottom of the fixing member 10k and the bolt 200.

[0179] The fixing member 10k shown in Figures 29 and 30 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20k that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30j that is connected to the harness holding portion 20k and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H.

[0180] The harness holding portion 20k has a similar configuration to the above-described harness holding portion 20g, but there are minor differences from the harness holding portion 20g in terms of the arrangement of each element, etc. 30(a) and 30(b), in the harness holding part 20k, the connecting part insertion hole 26, through which the upper connecting plate 311 is inserted, is provided on the mounting part 25 at a position HU slightly above the center in the height direction H. A protrusion 27 is provided on the upper surface forming the connecting part insertion hole 26.

[0181] In addition, the harness holding portion 20k having such a connecting portion insertion hole 26 has a protrusion 251 on the lower side HD of the mounting portion 25 similar to the above-mentioned eighth embodiment, and the protrusion 251 also has a hole for inserting the upper connecting plate 311 (see Figure 30(b)).

[0182] Further, at the end of the left side WL of the mounting part 25, a mounting part protrusion 28 is provided that protrudes downward to the lower side HD. The mounting portion protrusion 28 is a positioning protrusion for preventing the upper connecting plate 311 inserted into the connecting portion insertion hole 26 from unintentionally moving to the left side WL, and has a cross-sectional shape that is approximately trapezoidal.

[0183] The mounting fixing portion 30j, which together with the harness holding portion 20k constitutes the fixing member 10k, has the same shape as the mounting fixing portion 30i, except that a lower connecting plate 312k is provided instead of the lower connecting plate 312, and a connecting plate 313k is provided instead of the bent portion 313i.

[0184] The lower connecting plate 312k is a plate extending from the end of the right side WR of the upper connecting plate 311. The length of the lower connecting plate 312k protruding from the upper connecting plate 311 is approximately one-fifth of the length of the upper connecting plate 311 in the width direction W.

[0185] As shown in FIGS. 30(a) and 30(b), the connecting plates 313k are a pair of plates extending from the lower connecting plate 312k. Specifically, the connecting plate 313k is a plate-like member extending downward from both ends of the lower connecting plate 312k in the longitudinal direction L. The connecting plate 313k extends from the upper connecting plate 311 so that its main surface is aligned along the width direction W. Further, extending pieces 32i having the same shape as the fixing members 10i and the like extend from the ends of the lower side HD of the connecting plates 313k.

[0186] The fixing member 10k configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness 1k with a fixing member, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1k with a fixing member to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0187] Furthermore, the fixing member 10k and the wire harness 1k with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the same effects as the main effect in the first embodiment, the second to seventh effects, the first effect in the fourth embodiment, and the second effect in the eighth embodiment.

[0188] (Thirteenth embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10m and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1m according to a thirteenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 31(a) is a schematic perspective view of a state in which the wire harness with a fixing member 1m is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 31(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with a fixing member 1m is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 32(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side and plan of the fixing member 10m and the bolt 200, and Fig. 32(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side and bottom of the fixing member 10m and the bolt 200.

[0189] The fixing member 10m shown in Figures 31 and 32 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20m that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30j that is connected to the harness holding portion 20m and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P along the height direction H.

[0190] The harness holding portion 20m has the same shape as the above-mentioned harness holding portion 20k, except that the length along the width direction W of the mounting portion 25 and the shape of the mounting portion protrusion 28 are different, and a position adjustment portion 400 is provided.

[0191] Specifically, in the harness holding portion 20m, the length of the mounting portion 25 is formed to be approximately 1.5 times longer than that of the harness holding portion 20k. As shown in FIGS. 32(a) and 32(b), the mounting portion protrusion 28 of the harness holding portion 20m is formed with a predetermined width at the center in the longitudinal direction L on the underside of the mounting portion 25.

[0192] The harness holding portion 20m configured in this manner includes a position adjusting portion 400. The position adjustment unit 400 has a structure that can adjust the relative positions of the holding unit 21 and the mounting unit 25 by changing the relative positions of the holding unit 21 and the mounting unit 25 along the width direction W. The position adjustment unit 400 is composed of a pair of rail units 401 provided on the mounting unit 25, and a pair of slider units 402 provided on the holding unit 21 and fitted into the rail units 401 (see Figures 32(a) and 32(b)).

[0193] The rail portion 401 is a rail provided at the upper end of the mounting portion 25 and at both ends in the longitudinal direction L, and is provided over the entire length of the harness holding portion 20m in the width direction W. The rail portion 401 has a substantially U-shaped cross section when viewed from the front, and has a plurality of locking portions (not shown) at predetermined positions along the width direction W that position the holding portion 21 relative to the mounting portion 25, so that it can be held at a desired position when a slider portion 402 (described later) is fitted into it.

[0194] The slider portions 402 are provided at the lower end of the holding portion 21 and at both ends in the longitudinal direction L, and are held in a state of being fitted into the rail portions 401. The position adjustment portion 400 configured in this manner allows the holding portion 21 having the slider portions 402 to move freely along the rail portions 401, and is configured so that the holding portion 21 can be locked to the mounting portion 25 at a desired position by the locking portion (not shown).

[0195] The fixing member 10m configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness 1m with a fixing member, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1m with a fixing member to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0196] The fixing member 10m and the wire harness 1m with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the following effects in addition to the main effect of the first embodiment, the second to seventh effects, the first effect of the fourth embodiment, and the second effect of the eighth embodiment.

[0197] Specifically, since the position adjustment unit 400 is provided, which can adjust the position of the holding portion 21 in the harness holding portion 20m relative to the mounting and fixing portion 30j having the connecting portion 31, it is possible to adjust the position of the holding portion 21 in the harness holding portion 20m relative to the mounting and fixing portion 30j having the connecting portion 31. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the first effect of the thirteenth embodiment, that is, to route the wire harness 100 along a desired routing path.

[0198] (Fourteenth embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10n and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1n according to a fourteenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 33(a) is a schematic perspective view of the state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1n is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 33(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1n is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 34(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side, and plan of the fixing member 10n and the bolt 200, and Fig. 34(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side, and bottom of the fixing member 10n and the bolt 200.

[0199] The fixing member 10n shown in Figures 33 and 34 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20n that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30n that is connected to the harness holding portion 20n and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P along the height direction H.

[0200] The harness holding portion 20n has substantially the same shape as the above-mentioned harness holding portion 20, etc., except that a connecting portion insertion hole 26n is provided instead of the connecting portion insertion hole 26, and an attachment portion extension plate 29 is provided on the attachment portion 25.

[0201] The connecting portion insertion hole 26n is formed by recessing the mounting portion 25 from the left side WL to the right side WR. That is, the insertion direction of the upper connecting plate 311 is different from that of the harness holding portion 20 described above.

[0202] The mounting portion 25 thus configured is provided with a mounting portion extension plate 29. The mounting portion extension plate 29 is a plate-like member formed by extending a predetermined length toward the left side WL from the lower surface of the mounting portion 25, i.e., the lower surface that forms the connecting portion insertion hole 26. The mounting portion extension plate 29 is formed to be narrower than the mounting portion 25.

[0203] The plate-shaped mounting portion extension plate 29 has a locking protrusion 291 on the surface of the lower side HD. The locking projection 291 is a wall-shaped projection that protrudes from the mounting portion extension plate 29 so that its thickness direction is along the width direction W. The locking projection 291 has a central portion cut out in a generally mountain-shaped shape in plan view on the surface on the left side WL. The corner of this mountain-shaped cutout is formed to be generally equal to the corner that forms the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0204] Such a locking projection 291 is provided at a location spaced a predetermined distance from the left side WL of the attachment portion extending plate 29. Specifically, the locking protrusion 291 is positioned so that the distance from the end of the left side WL of the mounting portion extension plate 29 is longer than the radial length of the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0205] The mounting fixing portion 30n, which together with the harness holding portion 20n constitutes the fixing member 10n, does not have a connecting plate 313k and has the same shape as the mounting fixing portion 30m, except that a first extending piece 32n and a second extending piece 32p extend from the upper connecting plate 311.

[0206] The first extending piece 32n is a plate-like piece extending from the center of the upper connecting plate 311 in the longitudinal direction L toward the left side WL, and is formed so that its length along the longitudinal direction L is approximately equal to the length along the longitudinal direction L of the mounting portion extending plate 29. The first extending piece 32n has, at its tip, a folded portion 324 folded back at a predetermined angle toward the downward side HD.

[0207] The second extending pieces 32p are a pair of leaf spring members that extend from two positions on the upper connecting plate 311, outward in the longitudinal direction L from the first extending pieces 32n. The second extending piece 32p is composed of a vertical portion extending downward from the upper connecting plate 311 toward the lower side HD and a horizontal portion extending from the lower end of the vertical portion toward the left side WL. A bent portion 321p similar to the bent portion 321 is provided in the middle of the horizontal portion.

[0208] Although the second extension piece 32p has approximately the same shape as the extension piece 32g in the above-mentioned ninth embodiment, it does not have a locking protrusion 322 at its tip. Instead, the tip of the first extension piece 32n is folded back, thereby achieving the same effect as that achieved by the above-mentioned locking protrusion 322.

[0209] The fixing member 10n configured in this manner constitutes a wire harness with fixing member 1n, similar to the fixing member 10 described above, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness with fixing member 1n to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0210] When fixing member 10n is attached to bolt head 201 of bolt 200, a corner of bolt head 201 fits into a mountain-shaped notch of locking projection 291. This makes it possible to restrict relative rotation between bolt head 201 and fixing member 10n in the attached state where fixing member 10n is attached to bolt head 201 of bolt 200. In other words, locking projection 291 can function as a rotation restricting portion 11p that restricts relative rotation between bolt head 201 and fixing member 10n.

[0211] Furthermore, the fixing member 10n and the wire harness with fixing member 1n configured in this manner can achieve the same effects as the main effect of the first embodiment, the second and fifth effects, the first effect of the second embodiment, and the first and second effects of the eighth embodiment.

[0212] (Fifteenth embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10p and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1p according to a fifteenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 35(a) is a schematic perspective view of a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1p is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 35(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1p is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 36(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side and plan of the fixing member 10p and the bolt 200, and Fig. 36(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side and bottom of the fixing member 10p and the bolt 200.

[0213] The fixing member 10p shown in Figures 35 and 36 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20p that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30n that is connected to the harness holding portion 20p and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P along the height direction H.

[0214] The harness holding portion 20p has the same shape as the harness holding portion 20n, except that a mounting portion extending plate 29p is provided instead of the mounting portion extending plate 29. The mounting portion extending plate 29p has the same shape as the mounting portion extending plate 29, except that it protrudes to the left side WL less than the mounting portion extending plate 29 and has a locking projection 291 at its tip. Specifically, the protruding length of the attachment portion extending plate 29p is formed to be approximately half the protruding length of the attachment portion extending plate 29.

[0215] The fixing member 10p configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness 1p with a fixing member, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1p with a fixing member to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0216] Furthermore, the fixing member 10p and the wire harness 1p with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the same effects as the main effect of the first embodiment, the second and fifth effects, the first effect of the second embodiment, and the first and second effects of the eighth embodiment.

[0217] (16th embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10q and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1q according to a sixteenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 37(a) is a schematic perspective view of a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1q is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 37(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1q is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 38(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side, and plan of the fixing member 10q and the bolt 200, and Fig. 38(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side, and bottom of the fixing member 10q and the bolt 200.

[0218] The fixing member 10q shown in Figures 37 and 38 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20n that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30q that is connected to the harness holding portion 20n and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H.

[0219] The mounting fixing portion 30q, which together with the harness holding portion 20n constitutes the fixing member 10q, has the same shape as the mounting fixing portion 30n, except that a first extension piece 32n similar to the above-mentioned mounting fixing portion 30n extends from the upper connecting plate 311, and a connecting plate 313k and an extension piece 32i similar to the above-mentioned mounting fixing portion 30m extend from the first extension piece 32n.

[0220] In the mounting fastening portion 30q, the connecting plate 313k extends from a location spaced a predetermined distance from the end of the left side WL of the upper connecting plate 311. The length of the portion from the end of the left side WL of the upper connecting plate 311 to the connecting plate 313k in the longitudinal direction L of the upper connecting plate 311 is shorter than the other portions.

[0221] The fixing member 10q configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness with fixing member 1q, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness with fixing member 1q to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0222] Furthermore, the fixing member 10q and the wire harness 1q with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the same effects as the main effect of the first embodiment, the second and fifth effects, the first effect of the second embodiment, the first effect of the fourth embodiment, and the second effect of the eighth embodiment.

[0223] (17th embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10r and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1r according to a seventeenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 39(a) is a schematic perspective view of the state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1r is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 39(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1r is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 40(a) is a schematic perspective view showing the back, left side and plan of the fixing member 10r and the bolt 200, and Fig. 40(b) is a schematic perspective view showing the front, left side and bottom of the fixing member 10r and the bolt 200.

[0224] The fixing member 10r shown in Figures 39 and 40 is configured by assembling a harness holding portion 20p that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30q that is connected to the harness holding portion 20p and is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H.

[0225] The fixing member 10r configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness 1r with a fixing member, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1r with a fixing member to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0226] Furthermore, the fixing member 10r and the wire harness 1r with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the same effects as the main effect of the first embodiment, the second and fifth effects, the first effect of the second embodiment, the first effect of the fourth embodiment, and the second effect of the eighth embodiment.

[0227] (18th embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10s and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1s according to an eighteenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 41(a) is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1s is attached to the bolt head 201, and Fig. 41(b) is a schematic perspective view showing a manner in which the wire harness with fixing member 1s is attached to the bolt head 201. Fig. 42(a) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the gripping portion 39s at the center in the width direction W in a state in which the bolt head 201 is gripped by the gripping portion 39s, and Fig. 42(b) and Fig. 42(c) are schematic cross-sectional views showing a manner in which the cap portion 39t is attached to the gripping portion 39s.

[0228] The fixing member 10s shown in Figures 41 and 42 is integrally formed from a resin material and includes a harness holding portion 20s that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30s that is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H.

[0229] The harness holding portion 20s has the same shape as the harness holding portion 20d in the fifth embodiment described above, except that the connecting portion insertion hole 26 and the protrusion 27 are not provided. The mounting and fixing portion 30s, which is integral with the harness holding portion 20s, is composed of a gripping portion 39s that protrudes from the attachment portion 25 of the harness holding portion 20c, and a cap portion 39t that is connected to the gripping portion 39s and is configured to be detachable from the gripping portion 39s, as shown in Figure 41.

[0230] 41(b), the gripping portion 39s is configured with gripping pieces 391, which are a pair of plate-like members protruding toward the left side WL from the end of the left side WL of the mounting portion 25. Here, the portion of the mounting portion 25 where the gripping pieces 391 are provided is defined as the connecting portion 31s.

[0231] The gripping pieces 391 are formed with a thickness that allows them to be inserted into the stepped groove portion 212, and protrude in pairs from the mounting portion 25 along the width direction W at an interval that is longer than the diameter of the cylindrical portion 212a. The gripping pieces 391 are each bent at their tip ends inward in the longitudinal direction L, and are configured to prevent the gripping pieces 391 that constitute the gripping portion 39s from unintentionally releasing their engagement with the stepped groove portion 212 when the fixing member 10s is attached to the bolt 200.

[0232] The grip portion 39s thus configured has a grip portion through-hole 392 penetrating in the height direction H. The gripping portion through-hole 392 is a hole having a rectangular shape in a plan view, which is formed so that a locking protrusion 394 of the cap portion 39t, which will be described later, can be inserted therethrough.

[0233] The cap portion 39t connected to the grip portion 39s is formed in a generally annular shape in a plan view, and has a cap portion through-hole 393 in the center and locking projections 394 on both ends in the longitudinal direction L. The cap portion through-hole 393 is a hole that penetrates the cap portion 39t in the height direction H. An engaging portion 38s is formed on the inner circumferential surface that forms the cap portion through-hole 393.

[0234] The fitting portion 38s has the same shape as the fitting portion 38 in the fixing member 10d in the fifth embodiment described above. That is, the fitting portion 38s is formed so that the inner circumferential surface of the cap portion through-hole 393 has a regular twelve-pointed star shape when viewed from the bottom.

[0235] The locking protrusions 394 are a pair of protrusions that protrude toward the upper side HU and are provided on the cap portion 39t outward in the longitudinal direction L from the cap portion through-holes 393. The locking protrusions 394 are configured with bent tip portions in a hook shape so that they can be locked in a state where they are inserted into the grip portion through-holes 392. Note that the protruding portion of the cap portion 39t from which the locking protrusions 394 protrude is formed in a generally rectangular shape in a plan view that extends outward in the longitudinal direction L.

[0236] The grip portion 39s and the cap portion 39t configured as described above are integrally connected by a connecting member 395. The connecting member 395 is strip-shaped and connects the gripping piece 391 arranged on the other side LB of the mounting fixing portion 30s to one side LA of the cap portion 39t along the longitudinal direction L, and is made of an elastic resin material.

[0237] The fixing member 10s configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness 1s with a fixing member, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1s with a fixing member to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0238] Specifically, the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 is gripped by the gripping portion 39s, and then the cap portion 39t is attached to the gripping portion 39s. More specifically, the wire harness 1r with fixing member is attached so that the bolt head 201 is sandwiched in the longitudinal direction L by the gripping pieces 391 that constitute the gripping portion 39s.

[0239] 42(a) and 42(b), the connecting member 395, which is an elastic member, is bent to pivot the cap portion 39t relative to the gripping portion 39s gripping the bolt head 201, and the cap portion 39t is attached to the upper side HU of the gripping portion 39s. At this time, the hook-shaped locking protrusion 394 is inserted into the gripping portion through-hole 392, so that the two are locked together, and the cap portion 39t can be attached to the gripping portion 39s.

[0240] When cap portion 39t is attached to grip portion 39s, a corner forming head tip portion 201a fits into a corner of fitting portion 38s. This makes it possible to restrict relative rotation between bolt head 201 and fixing member 10s in an attached state in which fixing member 10s is attached to bolt head 201 of bolt 200. In other words, fitting portion 38s can function as rotation restricting portion 11s that restricts relative rotation between bolt head 201 and fixing member 10s. As described above, the fixing member 10s and the fixing member-equipped wire harness 1s can fix the wire harness 100 to the bolt head 201 in a state where the relative rotation with respect to the bolt 200 is restricted.

[0241] Furthermore, the fixing member 10s and the wire harness 1s with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the following effects in addition to the main effect of the first embodiment, the first effect of the sixth embodiment, and the second effect of the fifth embodiment.

[0242] Specifically, the connecting portion 31s has a pair of gripping pieces 391 that protrude in a width direction W that intersects with the height direction H, and the gripping pieces 391 are engaged in the stepped groove portions 212. Therefore, simply by moving the connecting portion 31s in the width direction W, the gripping pieces 391 that protrude in the width direction W can be engaged in the stepped groove portions 212. In this way, with a simple structure in which a pair of gripping pieces 391 that protrude in the width direction W from the connecting portion 31s and that can be engaged in the stepped groove portions 212 are provided, the harness holding portion 20s can be stably attached to the bolt head 201, and the first effect of the 18th embodiment, that is, rotation of the harness holding portion 20s relative to the bolt head 201 can be restricted, can be achieved.

[0243] In addition, the fitting portion 38s that constitutes the rotation regulating portion 11s is formed separately from the gripping portion 39s, and the cap portion 39t having the fitting portion 38s is provided with a gripping portion through-hole 392 that can fit into the bolt head 201 that is formed in a regular hexagonal shape when viewed from the height direction H, and a locking protrusion 394 that fixes it to the gripping portion 39s.

[0244] This makes it possible to restrict the rotation of the harness holding portion 20d relative to the bolt head 201 after the wire harness 100 has been routed in the desired routing direction, thereby preventing the wire harness 100 from being routed in a direction different from the desired routing direction.

[0245] More specifically, in a state where the gripping piece 391 of the gripping portion 39s is locked in the stepped groove portion 212, the wiring direction of the wire harness 100 held by the harness holding portion 20d can be adjusted so that the wire harness 100 is routed along a desired routing path. In this manner, in a state where the wire harness 100 is routed in a desired routing direction, the gripping portion through-hole 392 can be fitted into the bolt head 201, and the cap portion 39t having the fitting portion 38s can be fixed to the gripping portion 39s locked in the stepped groove portion 212. This makes it possible to restrict rotation of the harness holding portion 20d relative to the bolt head 201 in a state where the wire harness 100 is routed in a desired routing direction, thereby achieving the second effect of the eighteenth embodiment, that is, the wire harness 100 can be reliably routed along a desired routing path.

[0246] Furthermore, the cap portion 39t having the fitting portion 38s is integrally configured with the grip portion 39s so as to be pivotable, and therefore the cap portion 39t can be more easily fixed to the grip portion 39s simply by pivoting the cap portion 39t relative to the grip portion 39s. Furthermore, because the cap portion 39t is integrally configured so as to be pivotable relative to the grip portion 39s, the third effect of the 18th embodiment, that is, the number of parts can be reduced, can be achieved.

[0247] In the above-described eighteenth embodiment, the fixing member 10s is configured to be locked by inserting the locking protrusion 394 of the cap portion 39t into the grip portion through hole 392 provided in the grip portion 39s. However, for example, as shown in Fig. 43(a), a fixing member 10t and a fixing-member-attached wire harness 1t may be configured such that the locking protrusion 394 is provided in the grip portion 39s and a through hole 393x having the same shape as the grip portion through hole 392 is provided in the cap portion 39t.

[0248] Furthermore, the cap portion 39t and the connecting member 395 are configured to connect the gripping piece 391 arranged on the other side LB to one side LA of the cap portion 39t along the longitudinal direction L, but are not limited to this configuration as long as the cap portion 39t can be pivoted and attached to the gripping portion 39s.

[0249] For example, the other side LB of the cap portion 39t arranged on one side LA of the grip portion 39s may be connected along the longitudinal direction L to the grip piece 391 arranged on one side LA, or as shown in Fig. 43(b) , the fixing member 10u and the fixing-member-attached wire harness 1u may be configured such that the cap portion 39t is arranged on the other side LB and on the right side WR of the grip portion 39s and connected to each other by a connecting member 395. Of course, conversely, the cap portion 39t may be arranged on the one side LA and on the left side WL of the grip portion 39s and connected to each other by a connecting member 395.

[0250] 44, a fixing member 10v and a wire harness with fixing member 1v may be formed in which a cap portion 39t and a connecting member 395 are provided on a harness holding portion 20u. This allows the fixing member 10u to be configured more compactly than the fixing members 10s and 10t in which the connecting member 395 extends from a gripping portion 39s.

[0251] (Twenty-second embodiment) Next, a fixing member 10w and a fixing member-equipped wire harness 1w according to a 22nd embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, Fig. 45(a) shows a schematic perspective view of the state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1w is attached to the bolt head 201, Fig. 45(b) shows a schematic perspective view of the front, left side, and bottom of the wire harness with fixing member 1w, Fig. 46(a) shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the central part in the width direction W of the tubular body 39w in a state in which the wire harness with fixing member 1w is attached to the bolt head 201, FIG. 46(b) shows a schematic front view of the wire harness with fixing member 1w.

[0252] The fixing member 10w shown in Figure 45 is integrally formed from a resin material and includes a harness holding portion 20e that holds the wire harness 100 and an attachment / fixing portion 30w that is attached to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 that protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H.

[0253] The mounting and fixing portion 30w, which is integral with the harness holding portion 20e, is composed of a cylindrical body 39w having a cylindrical shape along the height direction H. The cylindrical body 39w is connected to the lower side HD of the harness holding portion 20e, and is configured by connecting a first divided body 39wa and a second divided body 39wb which are identical in shape to each other and have a semicircular shape in a plan view.

[0254] The first divided body 39wa has an arc-shaped right side WR and a storage portion 396 provided on the surface of the left side WL. Note that the following description of the storage portion 396 will be given using the first divided body 39wa.

[0255] The storage portion 396 is a recess formed by recessing the first segment 39wa toward the right side WR so that the storage portion 396 has the same cross-sectional shape as the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200 when viewed from the front (see FIG. 46(b)). Note that the portion of the storage portion 396 corresponding to the stepped groove portion 212 is a locking protrusion 396a that is convex radially inward.

[0256] The first divided body 39wa and the second divided body 39wb each having such a storage portion 396 are connected by a hinge portion 397 so that the second divided body 39wb can pivot relative to the first divided body 39wa. The hinge portion 397 connects one side LA of the outer peripheral surface of the first segment 39wa and the other side LB of the outer peripheral surface of the second segment 39wb in the first segment 39wa and the second segment 39wb that make up the cylindrical body 39w. The hinge portion 397 is formed with a thickness thinner than the first segment 39wa and the second segment 39wb that make up the cylindrical body 39w, improving flexibility compared to other parts. Therefore, the second segment 39wb is configured to be able to open and close freely relative to the first segment 39wa.

[0257] The first and second divided bodies 39wa and 39wb, which are configured to be freely opened and closed in this manner, are provided with locking portions (not shown) for maintaining the closed state, thereby preventing the tubular body 39w from opening unintentionally when gripping the bolt head 201.

[0258] Furthermore, the fixing member 10w configured in this manner, like the fixing member 10 described above, constitutes a wire harness 1w with a fixing member, and by attaching and fixing the wire harness 1w with a fixing member to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200, the wire harness 100 can be fixed to the bolt head 201 of the bolt 200.

[0259] Specifically, in the wire harness 1w with the fixing member, the fixing member 10w is attached to the bolt head 201 with the tubular body 39w separated, i.e., with the second division 39wb opened relative to the first division 39wa. At this time, the fixing member 10w is attached so that the bolt head 201 fits into the storage portion 396 of the first division 39wa. As a result, the locking protrusion 396a is inserted into the stepped groove portion 212, so that the relative movement of the fixing member 10w and the bolt 200 in the height direction H is restricted.

[0260] Then, the second segment 39wb is pivoted and attached to the first segment 39wa, with the bolt head 201 fitted into the storage portion 396, via the hinge portion 397. As a result, the bolt head 201 also fits into the storage portion 396 provided in the second segment 39wb, and the first segment 39wa and the second segment 39wb can grip the bolt head 201 in the circumferential direction (see FIG. 46(a)).

[0261] Furthermore, by attaching the second segment 39wb to the first segment 39wa, the first segment 39wa and the second segment 39wb, each formed in a semicircular shape when viewed from above, become one body to form a cylindrical body 39w that is circular when viewed from above, and a space S2 having the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the bolt head 201 is formed inside the cylindrical body 39w (see Figure 46(b)).

[0262] The fixing member 10w and the wire harness 1w with fixing member configured in this manner can achieve the following effects in addition to the main effect of the first embodiment, the second, fifth, and sixth effects, the first effect of the fourth embodiment, and the second effect of the eighth embodiment.

[0263] Specifically, the mounting and fixing portion 30w is provided with a cylindrical body 39w having a storage section 396 that forms a space S2 in which the head tip portion 201a can be stored, and the cylindrical body 39w is composed of a plurality of segments (a first segment 39wa and a second segment 39wb) that can be divided circumferentially and assembled to each other, and the storage section 396 is provided with a locking protrusion 396a that protrudes toward the space S2 and engages with the stepped groove portion 212, and the locking protrusion 396a engages with the stepped groove portion 212.

[0264] This allows the head tip portion 201a to be accommodated in the storage portion 396 of the first divided body 39wa obtained by dividing the tubular body 39w in the width direction W intersecting with the height direction H, and the locking protrusion 396a protruding toward the space S2 can be locked in the stepped groove portion 212. Furthermore, with the locking protrusion 396a locked in the stepped groove portion 212, the second divided body 39wb can be easily attached to the head tip portion 201a of the first divided body 39wa.

[0265] Furthermore, by assembling the second segment 39wb from the width direction W to the first segment 39wa attached to a portion of the head tip portion 201a in this manner, the head tip portion 201a is accommodated in the space S2, and the tubular body 39w can be formed with the locking protrusion 396a locked in the stepped groove portion 212. That is, the head tip portion 201a is surrounded in the circumferential direction by the multiple segments (the first segment 39wa and the second segment 39wb), and the locking protrusion 396a can be locked in the stepped groove portion 212. Therefore, the tubular body 39w can be prevented from coming loose in the width direction W and the height direction H.

[0266] Also, a hinge portion 397 is provided to pivotally connect the divided bodies (first divided body 39wa and second divided body 39wb) to each other. This makes it possible to easily assemble the segments (first segment 39wa and second segment 39wb) together simply by pivoting second segment 39wb, which is connected by hinge portion 397, toward first segment 39wa, which is attached to bolt head 201. Furthermore, because the segments (first segment 39wa and second segment 39wb) are connected by hinge portion 397, the number of parts can be reduced.

[0268] For example, in the above description, the wire harness 100 is composed of coated electric wires, but the object to be fixed by the fixing member is not limited to the wire harness 100, and may be a communication cable such as an optical fiber cable, a bundle of communication cables, or a bundle of a wire harness and a bundle of communication cables.

[0269] Furthermore, the bolt head 201 is not particularly limited as long as it protrudes from the body panel P in the height direction H, and may be configured, for example, as a bolt member such as a stud bolt provided on the body panel P and screwed into the body panel P.

[0270] Furthermore, although the stepped groove portion 212 is configured as a concave shape formed by recessing the bolt head 201 in a direction intersecting the height direction H, the shape of the stepped groove portion 212 is not limited to this, and it may be a convex shape formed by protruding from the bolt head in a direction intersecting the height direction H. More specifically, it may be, for example, a flange portion of a flanged bolt.

[0271] Furthermore, in the above-described fixing members 10g, 10h, 10n, and 10p, the extension piece 32b and the second extension piece 32p made of a spring member come into contact with a surface of the bolt head 201 that faces the height direction H when inserted into the stepped groove portion 212, and urge the bolt head 201 in the height direction H. However, for example, the connecting portion 31 having the extension piece 32b and the second extension piece 32p may urge the bolt head 201 in the height direction H, or both the extension piece 32b, the second extension piece 32p, and the connecting portion 31 may urge the bolt head 201 in the height direction H.

[0272] Furthermore, in the above-described 18th to 21st embodiments, the cap portion 39t is provided with a cap portion through-hole 393, which is a through-hole through which the bolt head 201 is inserted, but it does not necessarily have to be a through-hole as long as the bolt head 201 can be inserted therethrough, and the cap portion 39t may be formed by recessing it toward the upper side HU.

[0273] Furthermore, in the above description, the position adjustment portion 400 is provided on the fixed member 10m described in the thirteenth embodiment, but it may also be provided on a fixed member described other than the thirteenth embodiment as long as the rail portion 401 and the slider portion 402 can be provided.

[0274] Furthermore, although the position adjustment unit 400 is configured to change the relative position between the harness holding unit 20 and the connecting unit 31 along the width direction W, the configuration of the position adjustment unit 400 is not limited to this. For example, the position adjustment unit 400 may be configured to change the relative position between the harness holding unit 20 and the connecting unit 31 along the height direction H, or may be configured to change the relative position between the harness holding unit 20 and the connecting unit 31 along the longitudinal direction L.
