Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a clip and a wire harness. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, in vehicles such as automobiles, a clip is attached to a wiring component such as an electric wire to be attached to the plate member of the vehicle body. For example, a wire harness includes an electric wire with the clip. This type of clip is inserted into a through hole of the plate member and held by the plate member by sandwiching the plate member. Thus, this clip has a first locking body that passes through the through hole and is locked to a first wall surface of the plate member, a second locking body that applies a resilient force due to elastic deformation to a second wall surface of the plate member and sandwiches the plate member between the first locking body locked to the first wall surface, and an attachment body that is attached to the wiring component on the second locking body side. For example, anchor-shaped clips disclosed in the following Patent Documents 1 to 4 are known as clips having such functions. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] Incidentally, the clip is attached to a location on the wiring component where it is desired to suppress relative movement with respect to the surrounding components, for example, in order to prevent interference of the wiring component with the surrounding components including a plate member. However, with a conventional clip, when an external force is applied to the wiring component, the second locking body elastically deforms and the mounting body approaches the second wall surface of the plate member, which may narrow the gap between the wiring component and the surrounding components, leaving room for improvement in terms of preventing interference with the surrounding components.

It is characterized by the following. In order to achieve the above object, a wire harness according to the present invention includes a clip and an electric wire as a wiring component to which the clip is attached, the clip including a main body provided with an insertion portion to be inserted into a base and a through hole of a plate member, a plurality of first locking bodies which are cantilevered flexible bodies protruding from the insertion portion and are locked to a first wall surface of the plate member at an installation completion position where the clip has come out of the through hole, a plurality of second locking bodies which are cantilevered flexible bodies protruding from the base and which sandwich the plate member between the first locking bodies and the cantilevered flexible bodies protruding from the base while a resilient force caused by deformation within an elastic range is applied from a free end side to a second wall surface of the plate member at the installation completion position, and and a third locking body that protrudes from the free end side of the second locking body and is locked to the locked body at the installation completion position. The mounting body is used as the locked body, and the third locking body has an arcuate surface facing the locked body, and is formed so that the arcuate surface comes into contact with the locked body before each of the first locking bodies is locked to the first wall surface of the plate member, and the third locking body deforms within an elastic range until it reaches the installation completion position.

Effect of the Invention

[0008] In the clip according to the present invention, the portion between the free end side of the second locking body and the free end side of the third locking body is a portion having higher rigidity than the second locking body, and this portion having higher rigidity is sandwiched between the second wall surface of the plate member and the locked body as a support (i.e., a stopper). Therefore, in this clip, even if an external force acts on the wiring part when the mounting to the plate member is completed and the force is transmitted to the base of the main body as a force in the direction of insertion into the through hole, the increase in the amount of further bending of each of the second locking bodies is suppressed, and the movement of the mounting body toward the second wall surface side can be suppressed. In this way, the third locking body and the locked body can suppress the rattling of the clip relative to the plate member. Therefore, the clip can be mounted to the plate member with high positional accuracy. And, since the clip can maintain its mounting position with high accuracy, interference of the wiring part with surrounding parts, such as contact of the wiring part with the second wall surface of the plate member, can be suppressed. The wire harness WH according to the present invention has this clip attached to electric wires as wiring components, and can obtain the same effects as those provided by this clip.

[0010] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a clip and a wire harness according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these preferred embodiments.

[0011] [Embodiment] One embodiment of a clip and a wire harness according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0012] Reference numeral 1 in Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 indicates a clip of this embodiment. This clip 1 is a fixing part for fixing a routing part We (Fig. 2) that is routed along the vehicle body or an on-vehicle part to the vehicle body or the on-vehicle part. Therefore, this clip 1 is interposed between the routing part We and a plate member P (Fig. 5) and attached to both. Possible examples of the routing part We include flexible piping parts such as electric wires and rubber hoses, and metallic piping parts. Also, possible examples of the plate member P include a panel that constitutes the vehicle body, and a plate-shaped bracket attached to the vehicle body or the on-vehicle part.

[0013] Here, the electric wires of a wire harness WH are shown as an example of a wiring part We (Fig. 2). The clip 1 shown here will be described taking as an example a so-called anchor-leg type made of synthetic resin material. This clip 1 is attached to a plate member P by inserting the anchor-leg-shaped legs into the through-holes Pa of the plate member P until the attachment is completed. The plate member P shown here has a circular through-hole Pa formed therein.

[0014] The clip 1 has a main body 10 (FIGS. 1 to 5). The main body 10 is provided with a base portion 11 and an insertion portion 12. The clip 1 is inserted into the through hole Pa of the plate member P from the insertion portion 12.

[0015] The base 11 is formed, for example, in a flat plate shape. The base 11 shown here is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape (FIGS. 1 to 3).

[0016] The insertion portion 12 protrudes from the base portion 11 (FIGS. 1, 2, and 5). The insertion portion 12 shown here has a columnar portion 12a protruding in a cylindrical shape (excluding a groove for weight reduction) so as to bulge in the axial direction from the plane of the base portion 11, and a flat plate portion 12b formed in a rectangular flat plate shape with one side provided on the circular plane of the columnar portion 12a, and protruding from the center of the circular plane of the columnar portion 12a so that the rectangular plane is along the axial direction of the columnar portion 12a (FIGS. 1 to 3, and 5). In this insertion portion 12, the columnar portion 12a side is the root, and the other side of the flat plate portion 12b on the protruding direction side is the tip, and this tip is inserted into the through hole Pa of the plate member P. In addition, in the insertion portion 12, at the installation completion position, at least a part of the columnar portion 12a having a diameter smaller than the circular through hole Pa is disposed in the through hole Pa, and the flat portion 12b protrudes from the through hole Pa (FIG. 5).

[0017] Furthermore, this clip 1 is a cantilevered flexible body protruding from the flat portion 12b of the insertion portion 12 in the main body 10, and has a plurality of first locking bodies 20 that are locked to the first wall surface Pb of the plate member P at the installation completion position where they have come out of the through hole Pa of the plate member P (Figures 1 to 5).

[0018] The clip 1 shown here has a pair of first locking bodies 20, and the pair of first locking bodies 20 and the insertion portion 12 form an anchor-shaped leg portion. In this clip 1, one first locking body 20 protrudes from one rectangular plane of the flat plate portion 12b, and the other first locking body 20 protrudes from the other rectangular plane of the flat plate portion 12b.

[0019] The first locking body 20 has a main portion 21 that can be inserted into the through hole Pa of the plate member P while being deformed in the elastic region, and can reduce the amount of deformation in the elastic region when the main portion 21 is removed from the through hole Pa and is at the installation completion position (FIGS. 1 to 5). The main portion 21 shown here has a fixed end at the tip (the other side of the flat portion 12b in the protruding direction) of the insertion portion 12, which is the starting point of insertion into the through hole Pa of the plate member P, and protrudes so that the distance from the rectangular plane of the flat portion 12b increases as it moves from the tip of the insertion portion 12 toward the columnar portion 12a. Each first locking body 20 is formed so that the distance between the free ends of the main portions 21 is larger than the hole diameter of the through hole Pa of the plate member P. The main portion 21 shown here is formed so that the distance from the rectangular plane of the flat portion 12b can be changed by bending the main portion 21 around the fixed end. When the free end of the main portion 21 receives a force from the wall surface of the through hole Pa of the plate member P, the free end of the main portion 21 is deflected within an elastic range with the fixed end as a fulcrum so as to narrow the gap with the rectangular plane of the flat plate portion 12b. When the main portion 21 comes out of the through hole Pa, the amount of deformation within the elastic range decreases, and the free end is disposed opposite the first wall surface Pb of the plate member P in a state in which it can be engaged with the first wall surface Pb (FIG. 5).

[0020] Here, this first locking body 20 has a locking portion 22 that protrudes from the free end of its main portion 21 and locks onto the wall surface of the through hole Pa of the plate member P at the installation completion position where the main portion 21 has come out of the through hole Pa (Figures 1, 2, 4 and 5).

[0021] Furthermore, this clip 1 is a cantilevered flexible body protruding from the base 11 of the main body 10, and has a number of second locking bodies 30 that clamp the plate member P between themselves and the first locking body 20 while applying a resilient force due to deformation within the elastic range to the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P from the free end side at the completed installation position (Figures 1 to 5).

[0022] The clip 1 shown here has a pair of second locking bodies 30. In this clip 1, the sides of the base 11 arranged opposite each other are fixed ends, and the second locking bodies 30 protrude one by one from each side (FIGS. 1, 2, and 5). The second locking bodies 30 protrude from the sides of the base 11 so that the distance from the base (columnar portion 12a) of the insertion portion 12 increases as the second locking bodies 30 move from the sides of the base 11 toward the tip of the insertion portion 12 (the other side of the flat portion 12b in the protruding direction). The second locking bodies 30 shown here further protrude toward the first locking body 20 side with which they are paired when the plate member P is sandwiched. The second locking bodies 30 shown here are formed in a rectangular flat plate shape with one side on the fixed end side aligned with the side of the base 11.

[0023] During the insertion of the insertion portion 12 into the through hole Pa of the plate member P, the other side of the free end of the second locking body 30 comes into contact with the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P. As the insertion of the insertion portion 12 continues, the second locking body 30 bends while sliding the other side of the free end along the second wall surface Pc. When the second locking body 30 reaches the installation completion position, the amount of bending becomes maximum, and the elastic force caused by the deformation within the elastic range acts on the second wall surface Pc from the other side of the free end (FIG. 5). At this time, as shown above, the first locking body 20 is disposed facing the first wall surface Pb of the plate member P in a state in which the free end side can be locked to the first wall surface Pb. Therefore, in this clip 1, when the installation completion position is reached, the plate member P is sandwiched between the first locking body 20 and the second locking body 30, and is fixed to the plate member P.

[0024] Furthermore, the clip 1 has an attachment body 40 that protrudes from the base 11 of the main body 10 and is attached to the wiring part We on the second locking body 30 side (FIGS. 1 to 5).

[0025] The mounting body 40 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the electric wire, which is the wiring part We, along its axial direction (FIG. 2). In the clip 1, the opposite sides of the base 11 are fixed ends, and the mounting bodies 40 protrude one by one from each side (FIGS. 1, 2, and 5). The mounting body 40 shown here is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape with one side on the fixed end side aligned with the same side as the protrusion starting point of the second locking body 30 in the base 11. The plane of the mounting body 40 is parallel to the plane of the base 11. In the clip 1, a tape member (not shown), such as an adhesive tape, is wound around the mounting body 40 and the wiring part We to fix the mounting body 40 to the wiring part We.

[0026] Furthermore, this clip 1 has an engaged body 51 which is arranged for each second engaging body 30 on the opposite side of the first engaging body 20 as viewed from the second engaging body 30 and has a higher rigidity than the second engaging body 30, and a third engaging body 52 which protrudes from the free end side of the second engaging body 30 and is engaged with the engaged body 51 at the installation completion position (Figures 1 to 5).

[0027] In this clip 1, the attachment body 40 is used as the locked body 51 (FIGS. 1 to 5). Therefore, strictly speaking, the third locking body 52 is locked by a tape member wound around the attachment body 40 (locked body 51). The free end side of the second locking body 30 is used as the fixed end of the third locking body 52, and the third locking body 52 protrudes toward the locked body 51 (FIGS. 1, 2, and 5). The third locking body 52 is formed in a shape that does not contact the attachment body 40 (locked body 51) until each of the first locking bodies 20 is locked to the first wall surface Pb of the plate member P. The third locking body 52 shown here is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape with one side part on the fixed end side joined to the free end of the second locking body 30. The third locking body 52 shown here has a higher rigidity than the second locking body 30, which is flexible. For example, the third locking body 52 is formed as a rigid body that is not elastically deformable.

[0028] In this clip 1, at the position where attachment to the plate member P is completed, the free ends of the second locking bodies 30 in a bent state abut against the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P, and the free ends of the third locking bodies 52 abut against the attachment body 40 (the locked body 51) (FIG. 5). In other words, in this clip 1, at the position where attachment to the plate member P is completed, the space between the free end of the second locking body 30 and the free end of the third locking body 52 is sandwiched between the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P and the attachment body 40 (the locked body 51). That is, in this clip 1, the space between them is a place with higher rigidity than the second locking body 30, and this place with higher rigidity is sandwiched between the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P and the attachment body 40 (the locked body 51) as a place that serves as a support (i.e., a stopper). Therefore, in this clip 1, when attachment to the plate member P is completed, even if an external force acts on the routing part We and that force is transmitted to the base 11 of the main body 10 as a force in the direction of insertion into the through hole Pa, further increase in the amount of deflection of each second locking body 30 is suppressed, and movement of the mounting body 40 (locked body 51) toward the second wall surface Pc can be suppressed.

[0029] In this way, the clip 1 can suppress rattling with respect to the plate member P by the third locking body 52 and the mounting body 40 (the locked body 51). Therefore, the clip 1 can be mounted with high positional accuracy with respect to the plate member P. And, because the clip 1 can maintain the mounting position with high accuracy, it can suppress interference of the routing part We with surrounding parts, such as contact of the routing part We with the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P. Therefore, the clip 1 can suppress deterioration of the durability of the routing part We and surrounding parts, and can improve the sound vibration performance. The wire harness WH is obtained by mounting the clip 1 to an electric wire as the routing part We, and can obtain the same effects as those obtained by the clip 1.

[0030] [Variation 1] 6 to 8, reference numeral 2 denotes a clip of this modified example. The wire harness WH of this modified example is formed by attaching this clip 2 to an electric wire as a wiring part We.

[0031] The clip 2 of this modification corresponds to the clip 1 of the above-described embodiment in which the third locking body 52 is replaced with the following third locking body 152. Therefore, here, the reference numerals are used to refer to the parts common to the clip 1 of the embodiment, and detailed explanations are omitted.

[0032] The third locking body 152 of this modification, like the third locking body 52 of the embodiment, is protruded from the free end side of the second locking body 30 and is locked to the mounting body 40 (locked body 51) at the installation completion position, and the free end side of the second locking body 30 is the fixed end and protrudes toward the mounting body 40 (locked body 51). However, the third locking body 152 of this modification is formed as a substantially rectangular arc-shaped plate with one side part of the fixed end joined to the free end of the second locking body 30, and is flexible. This third locking body 152 is formed so that the outer arc-shaped surface faces the mounting body 40 (locked body 51). Furthermore, the third locking body 152 in this modified example is formed so that the other edge portion on the free end side comes into contact with the mounting body 40 (the body to be locked 51) before each of the first locking bodies 20 is locked to the first wall surface Pb of the plate member P, and then deforms itself within the elastic range until it reaches the installation completion position.

[0033] In this clip 2, at the completion of attachment to the plate member P, the free ends of the second locking bodies 30 are in a bent state and abut against the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P, and the free ends of the third locking bodies 152 are in a bent state and abut against the attachment body 40 (the locked body 51) (FIG. 8). In other words, in this clip 2, at the completion of attachment to the plate member P, the space between the free end of the second locking body 30 and the free end of the third locking body 152 is sandwiched between the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P and the attachment body 40 (the locked body 51). The clip 2 of this modification is different from the clip 1 of the embodiment in that the third locking body 152 has flexibility therebetween. For this reason, the third locking body 152 is formed in a shape that can be deformed within the elastic region and is formed in a shape that can be deformed to the plastic region side of the elastic region at the completion of attachment. As a result, in this clip 2, further deformation of the third locking body 152 at the installation completion position is suppressed, so that the portion between the free end of the second locking body 30 and the free end of the third locking body 152 becomes a portion with higher rigidity than the second locking body 30 at the installation completion position, and this portion with higher rigidity is sandwiched between the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P and the mounting body 40 (the locked body 51) as a support (i.e., a stopper). Therefore, in this clip 2, even if an external force acts on the wiring part We when the mounting to the plate member P is completed, and the force is transmitted to the base 11 of the main body 10 as a force in the insertion direction into the through hole Pa, further increase in the amount of bending of each second locking body 30 is suppressed, and movement of the mounting body 40 (the locked body 51) toward the second wall surface Pc can be suppressed.

[0034] In this manner, the clip 2 of this modification can suppress rattling with respect to the plate member P by the third locking body 152 and the mounting body 40 (locked body 51) in the same manner as the clip 1 of the embodiment. Therefore, the clip 2 can be mounted with high positional accuracy with respect to the plate member P in the same manner as the clip 1 of the embodiment, and can maintain the highly accurate mounting position, thereby suppressing interference of the routing part We with surrounding parts. Therefore, the clip 2 can suppress deterioration in the durability of the routing part We and surrounding parts, and can improve the sound vibration performance. The wire harness WH of this modification is obtained by mounting the clip 2 to an electric wire as the routing part We, and can obtain the same effects as those achieved by the clip 2.

[0035] [Variation 2] 9 to 11, reference numeral 3 denotes a clip of this modified example. The wire harness WH of this modified example is formed by attaching this clip 3 to an electric wire as a wiring part We.

[0036] The clip 2 of this modification corresponds to the clip 1 of the above-described embodiment in which the third locking body 52 is replaced with the following third locking body 252. Therefore, here, the reference numerals are used to refer to the parts common to the clip 1 of the embodiment, and detailed explanations are omitted.

[0037] The third locking body 252 of this modification is, like the third locking body 52 of the embodiment, protruded from the free end side of the second locking body 30 and locked to the mounting body 40 (locked body 51) at the mounting completion position, and the free end side of the second locking body 30 is a fixed end and protrudes toward the mounting body 40 (locked body 51). However, the third locking body 252 of this modification is formed as a substantially rectangular arc-shaped plate with one side of the fixed end side aligned closer to the fixed end side than the free end on the free end side of the second locking body 30, and is formed as a flexible one. This third locking body 252 is formed so that the outer arc-shaped surface faces the mounting body 40 (locked body 51). Furthermore, the third locking body 252 in this modified example is formed so that its outer arcuate surface comes into contact with the mounting body 40 (the body to be locked 51) before each first locking body 20 is locked to the first wall surface Pb of the plate member P, and the third locking body 252 deforms itself within the elastic range until it reaches the installation completion position.

[0038] In this clip 3, at the completion of attachment to the plate member P, the free ends of the second locking bodies 30 in a bent state abut against the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P, and the outer arcuate surfaces of the third locking bodies 252 in a bent state abut against the attachment body 40 (the locked body 51) (FIG. 11). In other words, in this clip 3, at the completion of attachment to the plate member P, the area from the free end of the second locking body 30 to the abutting portion of the third locking body 252 with the attachment body 40 (the locked body 51) is sandwiched between the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P and the attachment body 40 (the locked body 51). The clip 3 of this modification is different from the clip 1 of the embodiment in that the third locking body 252 has flexibility therebetween. For this reason, the third locking body 252 is formed in a shape that can be deformed within the elastic region and that can be deformed to the plastic region within the elastic region at the attachment completion position, similar to the third locking body 152 of the modified example 1. As a result, in this clip 3, further deformation of the third locking body 252 at the attachment completion position is suppressed, so that the area between the free end of the second locking body 30 and the abutting portion of the third locking body 252 with the attachment body 40 (the locked body 51) becomes a portion with higher rigidity than the second locking body 30 at the attachment completion position, and this portion with higher rigidity is sandwiched between the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P and the attachment body 40 (the locked body 51) as a portion that serves as a support (i.e., a stopper). Therefore, in this clip 3, when attachment to the plate member P is completed, even if an external force acts on the routing part We and that force is transmitted to the base 11 of the main body 10 as a force in the direction of insertion into the through hole Pa, further increase in the amount of deflection of each second locking body 30 is suppressed, and movement of the mounting body 40 (locked body 51) toward the second wall surface Pc can be suppressed.

[0039] In this manner, the clip 3 of this modification can suppress rattling with respect to the plate member P by the third locking body 252 and the mounting body 40 (locked body 51) in the same manner as the clip 1 of the embodiment. Therefore, the clip 3 can be mounted with high positional accuracy with respect to the plate member P in the same manner as the clip 1 of the embodiment, and can maintain the highly accurate mounting position, thereby suppressing interference of the routing part We with surrounding parts. Therefore, the clip 3 can suppress deterioration in the durability of the routing part We and surrounding parts, and can improve the sound vibration performance. The wire harness WH of this modification is obtained by mounting the clip 3 to an electric wire as the routing part We, and can obtain the same effects as those obtained by the clip 2.

[0040] [Variation 3] 12 to 14, reference numeral 4 denotes a clip of this modified example. The wire harness WH of this modified example is formed by attaching this clip 4 to an electric wire as a wiring part We.

[0041] Similar to clip 1 of the previously described embodiment, clip 4 of this modified example has a main body 310, a plurality of first locking bodies 320, a plurality of second locking bodies 330, an attachment body 340, a locked body 351 for each second locking body 330, and a third locking body 352 for each second locking body 330 (Figure 12).

[0042] The main body 310 of this modification is provided with a rectangular base 311 and a flat insertion portion 312 protruding from one wall surface (hereinafter referred to as a "first wall surface") 311a of the base 311 (FIG. 13). In the clip 4 of this modification, the protruding direction of the insertion portion 312 is the insertion direction into the through hole Pa of the plate member P.

[0043] The clip 4 of this modification has a pair of first locking bodies 320. The clip 4 configures an anchor-shaped leg portion with the pair of first locking bodies 320 and the insertion portion 312. The first locking body 320 has a main portion 321 and a locking portion 322 similar to the first locking body 20 of the embodiment (FIGS. 12 to 14).

[0044] The clip 4 of this modification has a pair of flexible second locking bodies 330 (FIGS. 12 to 14). In this clip 4, the opposing wall surfaces of the base 311 are fixed ends, and the second locking bodies 330 protrude from the fixed ends one by one. In the clip 4 shown here, one second locking body 330 protrudes from an end of one wall surface (hereinafter referred to as the "second wall surface") 311b that is continuous with the first wall surface 311a of the base 311 on the first wall surface 311a side, and the other second locking body 330 protrudes from an end of one wall surface (hereinafter referred to as the "third wall surface") 311c that is continuous with the first wall surface 311a of the base 311 and exists on the back side of the second wall surface 311b on the first wall surface 311a side (FIGS. 13 and 14). The second locking body 330 is formed as a substantially rectangular arc-shaped plate with its outer arc-shaped surface facing the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P.

[0045] The clip 4 of this modified example is configured as a so-called band clip that wraps a band around the wiring part We. Thus, the mounting body 340 of this modified example is formed as a band that is wrapped around the wiring part We. The mounting body 340 has a plurality of grooves 341 formed at equal intervals (FIGS. 12 and 13). The base 311 of the main body 310 is provided with a passage 342 through which the mounting body 340 is inserted, and a claw portion 343 that is fitted into any of the grooves 341 of the mounting body 340 in the passage 342 to suppress deviation of the wrapped wiring part We (FIG. 13).

[0046] In clip 4 of this modification, base 311 of main body 310, which has higher rigidity than second locking body 330, is used as locked body 351. In base 311 (locked body 351), second wall surface 311b is used as first locked portion 351a for locking one third locking body 352, and third wall surface 311c is used as second locked portion 351b for locking the other third locking body 352 (FIGS. 13 and 14).

[0047] One of the third locking bodies 352 has the free end side of one of the second locking bodies 330 as a fixed end and protrudes toward the second wall surface 311b (first locked portion 351a) of the base 311 (FIGS. 13 and 14). The other of the third locking bodies 352 has the free end side of the other of the second locking bodies 330 as a fixed end and protrudes toward the third wall surface 311c (second locked portion 351b) of the base 311 (FIGS. 13 and 14). The third locking body 352 is formed in a shape that does not contact the base 311 (locked body 351) until each of the first locking bodies 320 is locked to the first wall surface Pb of the plate member P. The third locking body 352 shown here is formed as a substantially rectangular arc-shaped plate with one side on the fixed end side aligned with the free end of the second locking body 330. Further, the third locking body 352 shown here has higher rigidity than the flexible second locking body 330. For example, the third locking body 352 is formed as a rigid body that cannot be elastically deformed.

[0048] In this clip 4, when the attachment to the plate member P is completed, each second locking body 330 abuts its free end against the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P while being bent from the fixed end side, and one third locking body 352 abuts its free end against the second wall surface 311b (first locked portion 351a) of the base 311, and the other third locking body 352 abuts its free end against the third wall surface 311c (second locked portion 351b) of the base 311 (Figure 14). In this clip 4, the portion between the free end side of one second locking body 330 and the free end of one third locking body 352 is a portion having higher rigidity than one second locking body 330, and this portion with higher rigidity serves as a support (i.e., a stopper) between the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P and the second wall surface 311b (first locked portion 351a) of the base 311. Furthermore, in this clip 4, the portion between the free end side of the other second locking body 330 and the free end of the other third locking body 352 is a portion having higher rigidity than the other second locking body 330, and this portion with higher rigidity serves as a support (i.e., a stopper) between the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P and the third wall surface 311c (second locked portion 351b) of the base 311. For this reason, in this clip 4, when attachment to the plate member P is completed, even if an external force acts on the routing part We and that force is transmitted to the base 311 of the main body 310 as a force in the direction of insertion into the through hole Pa, further increase in the amount of deflection of each second locking body 330 is suppressed, and movement of the mounting body 340 toward the second wall surface Pc can be suppressed.

[0049] In this manner, the clip 4 of this modification can suppress rattling with respect to the plate member P by the third locking body 352 and the base 311 (locked body 351) in the same manner as the clip 1 of the embodiment. Therefore, the clip 4 can be attached to the plate member P with high positional accuracy in the same manner as the clip 1 of the embodiment, and can maintain the highly accurate attachment position, thereby suppressing interference of the routing part We with surrounding parts. Therefore, the clip 4 can suppress deterioration in the durability of the routing part We and surrounding parts, and can improve the sound vibration performance. The wire harness WH of this modification is obtained by attaching the clip 4 to an electric wire as the routing part We, and can obtain the same effects as those achieved by the clip 4.

[0050] [Variation 4] 15 to 17, reference numeral 5 denotes a clip of this modified example. The wire harness WH of this modified example is formed by attaching this clip 5 to an electric wire as a wiring part We.

[0051] Clip 5 of this modification corresponds to clip 4 of modification 3 described above, except that locked body 351 is replaced with locked body 451 described below, and third locking body 352 is replaced with third locking body 452 described below. Therefore, here, the reference numerals are used to refer to the parts common to clip 4 of modification 3, and detailed explanations are omitted.

[0052] The locked body 451 of this modification is protruded for each second locking body 330 from the base 311 of the main body 310 having higher rigidity than the second locking body 330 (FIGS. 15 to 17). The locked body 451 has higher rigidity than the second locking body 30 having flexibility. For example, the locked body 451 is formed as a rigid body that cannot be elastically deformed. In the clip 5 shown here, a columnar body having a trapezoidal cross section with the second wall surface 311b side as a bottom base is protruded from the second wall surface 311b of the base 311 as one locked body 451, and a columnar body having a trapezoidal cross section with the third wall surface 311c side as a bottom base is protruded from the third wall surface 311c of the base 311 as the other locked body 451.

[0053] Moreover, the third locking body 452 of this modification has the free end side of the second locking body 330 as a fixed end and protrudes toward the locked body 451. This third locking body 452 is formed in a shape that does not contact the locked body 451 until each of the first locking bodies 320 is locked to the first wall surface Pb of the plate member P. The third locking body 452 shown here is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape in which one side of the fixed end side is joined to the free end of the second locking body 330. Moreover, the third locking body 452 shown here has higher rigidity than the second locking body 330, which is flexible. For example, this third locking body 452 is formed as a rigid body that cannot be elastically deformed.

[0054] In this clip 5, at the position where attachment to the plate member P is completed, the free ends of the second locking bodies 330 in a bent state abut against the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P, and the free ends of the third locking bodies 452 abut against the locked body 451 (FIG. 17). In other words, in this clip 5, at the position where attachment to the plate member P is completed, the space between the free end of the second locking body 330 and the free end of the third locking body 452 is sandwiched between the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P and the locked body 451. That is, in this clip 5, the space therebetween is a portion having higher rigidity than the second locking body 330, and this portion with higher rigidity is sandwiched between the second wall surface Pc of the plate member P and the locked body 451 as a portion that serves as a support (i.e., a stopper). For this reason, in this clip 5, when attachment to the plate member P is completed, even if an external force acts on the routing part We and that force is transmitted to the base 311 of the main body 310 as a force in the direction of insertion into the through hole Pa, further increase in the amount of deflection of each second retaining body 330 is suppressed, and movement of the mounting body 340 toward the second wall surface Pc can be suppressed.

[0055] In this manner, the clip 5 of this modification can suppress rattling with respect to the plate member P by the third locking body 452 and the locked body 451, similar to the clip 4 of the modification 3. Therefore, the clip 5 can be attached to the plate member P with high positional accuracy, similar to the clip 4 of the modification 3, and can maintain the highly accurate attachment position, thereby suppressing interference of the routing part We with surrounding parts. Therefore, the clip 5 can suppress deterioration in the durability of the routing part We and surrounding parts, and can improve the sound vibration performance. The wire harness WH of this modification is obtained by attaching the clip 5 to an electric wire as the routing part We, and can obtain the same effects as those achieved by the clip 5.
