Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Although the connector holder described in Patent Document 1 can be attached by winding a belt around a wire harness, the belt may move in the extending direction of the wire harness.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a fixture that can stably attach the posture of a connector. 。

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, a fixture according to an aspect of the present invention includes a connecting portion connected to a band portion that winds and holds a harness, and an attachment portion to which a connector capable of connecting a part of the harness can be attached

Effects of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, a fixture that can stably attach the posture of a connector can be provided.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0008] [Figure 1] This is a side view of the mounting structure of the embodiment. [Figure 2] This is a front view of the mounting structure of the embodiment. [Figure 3] This diagram shows a modified mounting device attached to a fixing device. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Figure 1 is a side view of the mounting structure 1 of the embodiment. Figure 2 is a front view of the mounting structure 1 of the embodiment. The mounting structure 1 consists of a mounting fixture 10 and a fastener 12. The fastener 12 is fixed to the mounting hole in the panel while holding the harness 40. The panel may be, for example, a vehicle body panel or an interior panel. The harness 40 shown in Figure 2 is a bundle.

[0010] The mounting bracket 10 is connected to the fixing bracket 12, and the connector 20 shown by the dashed line in Figure 1 can be attached to it. The connector 20 can connect to branch wires extending from the harness 40 held by the fixing bracket 12. In other words, the connector 20 can be connected to any line of the harness 40. The connector 20 is attached to the fixing bracket 12 via the mounting bracket 10 and fixed to the panel via the fixing bracket 12. Therefore, the orientation of the connector 20 is stable.

[0011] The fastener 12 has a base portion 30, a band portion 32, a flange portion 34, and a claw portion 36. The flange portion 34 is provided on the lower side of the base portion 30 and is formed in an umbrella shape so as to protrude radially outward. The claw portion 36 is provided on the lower side of the flange portion 34 and is formed in a pair in a multi-stage manner. The claw portion 36 is inserted into the mounting hole of the panel and hooks onto the back edge of the mounting hole. The flange portion 34 and the claw portion 36 function as fasteners that fix the panel.

[0012] The band portion 32 extends from the base portion 30 and is formed in a strip shape so that the harness 40 can be wound around it. The band portion 32 winds around and holds the harness 40. A multi-stage claw-shaped engaging portion 32b is formed on the inner surface of the band portion 32. The engaging portion 32b hooks onto the outer surface of the harness 40.

[0013] The base portion 30 has a through-hole portion 30a through which the band portion 32 can be inserted. Engaging claws are formed on the inner surface of the through-hole portion 30a to engage with the engaging portion 32b of the band portion 32. This restricts the movement of the band portion 32, once inserted into the through-hole portion 30a, from coming out of the through-hole portion 30a. In Figure 1, the end portion 32a of the band portion 32 is protruding from the through-hole portion 30a.

[0014] The mounting fixture 10 comprises a connecting portion 14 and a mounting portion 16. The connecting portion 14 connects to the band portion 32. The connecting portion 14 has a through hole 14a through which the band portion 32 can be inserted. The through hole 14a opens in a rectangular shape to match the cross-sectional shape of the band portion 32.

[0015] The connecting portion 14 has a protrusion 14b formed on the inner surface of the through hole 14a. The protrusion 14b projects toward the mounting portion 16. The protrusion 14b catches on the engaging portion 32b of the band portion 32. This makes it difficult for the mounting fixture 10 to move along the longitudinal direction of the band portion 32.

[0016] The mounting portion 16 has a base portion 16a, an insertion portion 16b, a support portion 16c, and a locking portion 18. The base portion 16a is connected to the connecting portion 14 and is formed in a plate shape. The insertion portion 16b is formed in a plate shape, faces the base portion 16a, and is arranged parallel to the base portion 16a.

[0017] The end of the insertion portion 16b is supported on the base portion 16a by a columnar support portion 16c. The support portion 16c may support not only the ends of the base portion 16a and the insertion portion 16b, but also the central portion. The locking portion 18 is formed in a claw shape and protrudes from the outer surface of the insertion portion 16b.

[0018] A connector 20 to which some lines of the harness 40 are connected is attached to the attachment portion 16. As a result, it is not necessary to fix the connector 20 with a tape or the like, and the connector 20 can be easily attached.

[0019] The connector 20 has an insertion hole or rail groove into which the insertion portion 16b can be inserted, and a locked portion that locks to the locking portion 18. The insertion hole or rail groove of the connector 20 is slidable along the longitudinal direction of the insertion portion 16b. The locked portion of the connector 20 has a step that catches on the locking portion 18. When the locking portion 18 locks to the locked portion of the connector 20, the sliding of the connector 20 in the direction of coming off from the insertion portion 16b is restricted.

[0020] By using the fixture 10 for attaching the connector 20, the design is improved more than using a tape. Also, there is no possibility of the peeled tape remaining. When the connector 20 is wound around the harness 40 with a tape, the attachment direction of the connector 20 may vary and there is a risk of contacting other components. By attaching the connector 20 to the fixture 10, the posture of the connector 20 can be stabilized. <00​​​​​​​​​The above disclosure has been described based on the embodiments. The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various design changes and other modifications can be made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art.
