DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described. The wire harness fastener of the present disclosure includes: [1] A fixing device for a wire harness comprising a fixing member fixed to an attachment object and a wire holding member that holds the wire member, wherein one of the fixing member and the wire holding member has a first connecting portion, and the other of the fixing member and the wire holding member has a second connecting portion that is detachably connected to the first connecting portion, and the wire holding member is attached to the fixing member in a separable manner by the connection between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.
[0011] According to this configuration, even in a situation where it is difficult to remove the fixing member from the attachment object, by releasing the connection between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, it is possible to easily remove the wire member together with the wire holding member from the fixing member that is fixed to the attachment object.
[0012] [2] In the above [1], the first connecting portion may have a locking claw, and the second connecting portion may have a locked portion to which the locking claw is locked. According to this configuration, the wire holding member can be attached to the fixed member by the engagement between the locking claw of the first connecting portion and the locked portion of the second connecting portion.
[0013] [3] In the above [2], the locking claws and the locked portions may each be provided in plural. This configuration allows the first connecting part and the second connecting part to be firmly connected by multiple pairs of locking claws and locked parts, and also reduces the load on one locking claw during vibrations, etc.
[0014] [4] In the above [3], the first connecting portion may have a displacement-permitting portion that permits displacement of one of the plurality of locking claws in a direction in which the locking claw is released from the locked portion.
[0015] According to this configuration, by displacing the locking pawl using the displacement-allowing portion, it is possible to easily release the locking of the locking pawl from the locked portion. [5] In the above [4], the first connecting portion may have an operating portion that displaces the locking pawl in cooperation with the displacement allowing portion.
[0016] According to this configuration, the operating portion cooperating with the displacement allowing portion can easily operate to displace the locking pawl, thereby making it easier to release the locking of the locking pawl from the locked portion by the operating portion.
[0017] [6] In the above [5], the fixing member has the second connecting portion, and the electric wire holding member has the first connecting portion including the operating portion and a holding portion that holds the electric wire member, and in the electric wire holding member, the holding portion may be provided independently of the operating portion so as not to interfere with the operating portion.
[0018] This configuration makes it possible to prevent the force transmitted from the electric wire member from being transmitted to the operating part via the holding part, thereby preventing the operating part from moving due to the force transmitted from the electric wire member, which in turn causes the locking claw to be displaced and unintentionally release the lock with the locked part.
[0019] [7] In the above item [6], the first connecting portion may have a groove portion provided between the operating portion and the holding portion. According to this configuration, the groove provided between the holding portion and the operating portion makes it possible to configure the holding portion so as not to interfere with the operating portion.
[0020] [8] In the above [6] or [7], the first connecting portion may have a base portion, the plurality of locking claws may extend from the base portion, and the operating portion may protrude from an end face of the base portion.
[0021] According to this configuration, the operation unit protrudes from the base unit, making it possible to easily operate the operation unit. [9] In the above item [8], the holding portion may have a protruding portion that protrudes from the end surface of the base portion.
[0022] With this configuration, the protruding portion of the holding portion and the operating portion protrude from the same end face of the base portion, which allows the portions protruding from the base portion to be grouped together on the same end face, thereby reducing interference between the wire harness fixing device and surrounding components.
[0023]
[10] In any of the above [4] to [9], the displacement-allowing portion may have a slit formed in the first connecting portion and a flexible portion that is allowed to bend by the slit, and the locking claw, whose displacement is allowed by the displacement-allowing portion, may be provided on the flexible portion.
[0024] According to this configuration, the slit provided in the first connecting portion and the flexible portion make it possible to easily displace the locking pawl, thereby making it possible to more easily release the locking of the locking pawl from the locked portion.
[0025]
[11] In the above
[10] , the first connecting portion has an operating portion that displaces the locking claw in cooperation with the displacement-allowing portion, and the operating portion may be provided at a position corresponding to the center of the extension direction of the slit in the flexible portion.
[0026] With this configuration, the flexible portion is more flexible at the center in the extending direction of the slit. In other words, since the operating portion is provided at a part of the flexible portion that is more flexible, it becomes easier to release the engagement of the locking claw with the locked portion by the operating portion.
[0027]
[12] In any of the above [4] to
[11] , the locking claw that is allowed to be displaced by the displacement-allowing portion may be a first locking claw, and the locking claws other than the first locking claw among the plurality of locking claws may be second locking claws, and one first locking claw may be provided, and multiple second locking claws may be provided, and the width of the first locking claw may be set larger than the width of each of the multiple second locking claws.
[0028] According to this configuration, by making the width of the first locking claw that can be displaced by the displacement allowance portion larger than the width of each second locking claw, it is possible to suitably connect the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.
[0029]
[13] A wire harness according to the present disclosure includes the wire harness fixing device according to any one of [1] to
[12] above, and an electric wire member held by the electric wire holding member of the wire harness fixing device.
[0030] According to this configuration, the same effects as those of the wire harness fixing device [1] above can be obtained. [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the wire harness fastener and wire harness of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, for the sake of convenience, some of the configuration may be exaggerated or simplified. Furthermore, the dimensional ratios of each part may differ between drawings. Furthermore, "parallel" and "perpendicular" in this specification do not only refer to strictly parallel or perpendicular, but also include roughly parallel or perpendicular within the scope of the action and effect of this embodiment.
[0031] In addition, "facing" in this specification refers to surfaces or components facing each other, and includes not only cases where they are completely facing each other, but also cases where they are partially facing each other. In addition, "facing" in this specification includes both cases where a component separate from the two components is interposed between the two components, and cases where nothing is interposed between the two components.
[0032] 1, a wire harness 10 of this embodiment is a wire harness for a vehicle, for example. The wire harness 10 includes an electric wire member 11 and a wire harness fixture 12.
[0033] The electric wire member 11 includes, for example, an electric wire bundle which is a bundle of a plurality of electric wires. The electric wire member 11 is electrically connected to an electric device (not shown) mounted on the vehicle. The electric wire member 11 may include a cylindrical exterior member that covers the outer periphery of the electric wire bundle.
[0034] (Configuration of wire harness fixture 12) The wire harness fixture 12 includes a fixing member 20 and an electric wire holding member 30 attached to the fixing member 20. The fixing member 20 is fixed to an attachment object P shown in FIG. 3 . The attachment object P is, for example, a body panel of a vehicle. The electric wire holding member 30 holds an electric wire member 11. That is, the electric wire member 11 is fixed to the attachment object P by the wire harness fixture 12.
[0035] 2 and 3, the electric wire holding member 30 has a first connecting portion 31. The fixing member 20 has a second connecting portion 21 that is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 31. The electric wire holding member 30 is separably attached to the fixing member 20 by connecting the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 21. The fixing member 20 and the electric wire holding member 30 are formed of, for example, synthetic resin.
[0036] In the drawings, the X-axis is an axis along the length direction of the electric wire member 11. The Y-axis is an axis perpendicular to the X-axis and parallel to the surface of the attachment object P. The Z-axis is an axis along the height direction of the wire harness fastener 12 and perpendicular to both the X-axis and the Y-axis. In the following description, the direction along the X-axis is referred to as the X-axis direction, the direction along the Y-axis is referred to as the Y-axis direction, and the direction along the Z-axis is referred to as the Z-axis direction.
[0037] (Configuration of fixing member 20) The fixing member 20 has a second connecting portion 21 and a fixing portion 22. The fixing portion 22 is fixed, for example, by being inserted into a mounting hole Pa formed through the mounting object P. The fixing portion 22 includes, for example, a pair of locking pieces (not shown). The pair of locking pieces are locked to the mounting object P, whereby the fixing portion 22 is fixed to the mounting hole Pa of the mounting object P.
[0038] The second connecting portion 21 has a base portion 23 and a locking recess 24 provided in the base portion 23. In a plan view, i.e., when viewed from the Z-axis direction, the base portion 23 has a rectangular shape that is long in the X-axis direction, for example. The base portion 23 also has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The fixing portion 22 is formed integrally with the base portion 23 so as to protrude from one side surface of the base portion 23 in the Z-axis direction.
[0039] For example, three locking recesses 24 are provided in the base portion 23. In the following description, one of these three locking recesses 24 will be referred to as a first locking recess 24a, and the remaining two locking recesses 24 will be referred to as second locking recesses 24b.
[0040] (Configuration of the electric wire holding member 30) 1, 2, and 3, the electric wire holding member 30 has a first connecting portion 31 and a holding portion 32 that holds the electric wire member 11. The electric wire holding member 30 is an injection-molded product in which the first connecting portion 31 and the holding portion 32 are integrally formed. When viewed from the Z-axis direction, the first connecting portion 31 has a rectangular shape that is long in the X-axis direction, for example.
[0041] The first connecting portion 31 has a base portion 33 and a locking claw 34 provided on the base portion 33. The base portion 33 has a rectangular shape that is long in the X-axis direction when viewed from above, i.e., when viewed from the Z-axis direction. The base portion 33 also has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The size of the base portion 33 when viewed from the Z-axis direction is smaller than the size of the base portion 23 of the fixing member 20. In other words, the dimensions of the base portion 33 in both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction are smaller than those of the base portion 23.
[0042] The retaining portion 32 is provided on one side surface of the base portion 33 in the Z axis direction. When the side surface on which the retaining portion 32 is provided is defined as the upper surface 33a, of the two side surfaces of the base portion 33 in the Z axis direction, the locking claw 34 is provided so as to protrude from the lower surface 33b of the base portion 33. The lower surface 33b of the base portion 33 is, for example, a flat surface perpendicular to the Z axis direction. In the following description, the upper surface 33a side of the base portion 33 in the Z axis direction will be referred to as the upper side or upper portion, and the lower surface 33b side of the base portion 33 in the Z axis direction will be referred to as the lower side or lower portion.
[0043] The upper surface 23a of the base portion 23 of the fixing member 20 is, for example, flat and perpendicular to the Z-axis direction. When the electric wire holding member 30 is attached to the fixing member 20, the lower surface 33b of the base portion 33 abuts against the upper surface 23a of the base portion 23. The first locking recess 24a and each of the second locking recesses 24b are formed in the upper surface 23a of the base portion 23. In addition, the fixing portion 22 is provided on the lower surface 23b of the base portion 23.
[0044] (Configuration of groove portion 35) As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, a groove 35 extending along the X-axis direction is formed at one end of the base portion 33 in the Y-axis direction. The groove 35 is formed, for example, from one end to the other end of the base portion 33 in the X-axis direction at the end of the base portion 33 in the Y-axis direction. The groove 35 is also formed, for example, at the center of the end of the base portion 33 in the Y-axis direction in the Z-axis direction. In the following description, two portions of the end of the base portion 33 in the Y-axis direction separated by the groove 35 in the Z-axis direction are referred to as a first portion 33c and a second portion 33d. The first portion 33c and the second portion 33d face each other in the Z-axis direction with the groove 35 sandwiched therebetween. The first portion 33c is located below the groove 35 in the Z-axis direction, and the second portion 33d is located above the groove 35 in the Z-axis direction.
[0045] (Configuration of slit 36 and flexible portion 37) 2 and 3, a slit 36 is formed in the first portion 33c, penetrating the first portion 33c in the Z-axis direction. The slit 36 extends, for example, along the X-axis direction. In the X-axis direction, the length of the slit 36 is set to, for example, half or more of the length of the base portion 33.
[0046] The first portion 33c has a flexible portion 37 that is located further outward in the Y-axis direction than the slit 36. The flexible portion 37 is easily deformed in the Y-axis direction due to the formation of the slit 36. More specifically, the flexible portion 37 is easily bent in the direction in which the width of the slit 36 narrows in the Y-axis direction.
[0047] (Configuration of operation unit 38) The first portion 33c has an operating portion 38 extending from the flexible portion 37. The operating portion 38 extends from the flexible portion 37 along the Y-axis direction to the opposite side of the slit 36. The operating portion 38 is provided at a position corresponding to the center of the slit 36 in the X-axis direction. The tip of the operating portion 38 in the Y-axis direction protrudes outward beyond the end surface 33e of the base portion 33 in the Y-axis direction. When the operating portion 38 is pressed in the Y-axis direction, the flexible portion 37 is deformed so that the width of the slit 36 in the Y-axis direction is narrowed.
[0048] (Configuration of the locking claw 34) 2, for example, three locking claws 34 are provided on the lower surface 33b of the base portion 33. In the following description, one of these three locking claws 34 will be referred to as a first locking claw 34a, and the remaining two locking claws 34 will be referred to as second locking claws 34b. The first locking claw 34a is inserted into the first locking recess 24a. Each second locking claw 34b is inserted into each second locking recess 24b.
[0049] Each second locking claw 34b is provided at an end in the Y-axis direction on the lower surface 33b of the base portion 33. Furthermore, each second locking claw 34b is provided on the opposite side in the Y-axis direction from the side on which the groove portion 35 is provided. One second locking claw 34b is provided on one side of the center of the base portion 33 in the X-axis direction, and the other second locking claw 34b is provided on the other side of the center of the base portion 33 in the X-axis direction. Furthermore, the two second locking claws 34b are provided at positions that are line-symmetrical with respect to the center in the X-axis direction.
[0050] In the base portion 23 of the fixing member 20, each second locking recess 24b is provided at a position corresponding to each second locking claw 34b. As shown in FIG. 3, the second locking claw 34b inserted into the second locking recess 24b is locked in the Z-axis direction with the locked portion 25 formed inside the second locking recess 24b. Note that both side surfaces of the second locking claw 34b in the X-axis direction abut against, for example, side surfaces of the second locking recess 24b. This suppresses rattle between the fixing member 20 and the electric wire holding member 30. As a result, the electric wire member 11 can be stably held by the wire harness fastener 12.
[0051] (Configuration of first locking claw 34a) As shown in FIG. 2, the first locking claw 34a protrudes downward in the Z-axis direction from the flexible portion 37. The first locking claw 34a is provided at a position corresponding to the center of the slit 36 in the X-axis direction. That is, the first locking claw 34a is provided at the same position in the X-axis direction as the operating portion 38. The width of the first locking claw 34a in the X-axis direction is greater than the width of each of the second locking claws 34b in the X-axis direction. The widths of the second locking claws 34b in the X-axis direction are set to, for example, the same size.
[0052] The first locking recess 24a is provided in the base portion 23 of the fixing member 20 at a position corresponding to the first locking claw 34a. As shown in FIG. 3 , the first locking claw 34a inserted into the first locking recess 24a is locked in the Z-axis direction with the locked portion 26 formed inside the first locking recess 24a. The first locking claw 34a is displaced inward in the Y-axis direction together with the flexible portion 37 as the flexible portion 37 displaces inward in the Y-axis direction. This inward displacement in the Y-axis direction disengages the first locking claw 34a from the locked portion 26. That is, the slit 36 and the flexible portion 37 provided in the first connecting portion 31 constitute a displacement-permitting portion that permits displacement of the first locking claw 34a in a direction disengaging the first locking claw 34a from the locked portion 26. Note that both side surfaces of the first locking claw 34a in the X-axis direction abut against, for example, side surfaces of the first locking recess 24a. This suppresses rattle between the fixing member 20 and the electric wire holding member 30. As a result, the electric wire member 11 can be stably held by the wire harness fixing device 12.
[0053] (Configuration of holding portion 32) 1 and 3, the holding portion 32 has, for example, a band portion 41 that surrounds the outer periphery of the electric wire member 11, and a locking portion 42 that locks the band portion 41. The locking portion 42 is formed at one end in the longitudinal direction of the band portion 41. In addition, the locking portion 42 is formed integrally with the base portion 33 at the center in the X-axis direction, for example.
[0054] The band portion 41 is wrapped around the electric wire member 11, and a tip of the band portion 41 is inserted into and locked in the through-hole 42a of the lock portion 42. As a result, the electric wire member 11 is held by the band portion 41 and the lock portion 42. The through-hole 42a penetrates the lock portion 42, for example, in the Y-axis direction. The tip portion 41a of the band portion 41 protrudes, for example, from the through-hole 42a in the Y-axis direction. Furthermore, the tip portion 41a of the band portion 41 protrudes from the end surface 33e of the base portion 23 in the Y-axis direction. In other words, the tip portion 41a of the band portion 41 protrudes from the same side of the base portion 23 as the operation portion 38 in the Y-axis direction.
[0055] In the electric wire holding member 30, the first portion 33c of the base portion 33 and the operating portion 38 are configured to be arranged, for example, in parallel with the holding portion 32 in the Z-axis direction. The locking portion 42 of the holding portion 32 is provided independently of the operating portion 38 so as not to interfere with the operating portion 38. More specifically, the base portion 33 of the first connecting portion 31 has the groove portion 35 provided between the operating portion 38 and the holding portion 32. This makes it difficult for the force transmitted from the electric wire member 11, which receives an external force, to the holding portion 32 to be transmitted to the operating portion 38 and the flexible portion 37 via the locking portion 42.
[0056] The operation of this embodiment will be described. The wire holding member 30 that holds the electric wire member 11 is separable from the fixing member 20. Therefore, it is possible to remove the electric wire holding member 30 and the electric wire member 11 from the fixing object P without removing the fixing member 20 from the fixing object P. Therefore, even if the fixing portion 22 is deformed due to long-term use under conditions of vibration of the vehicle, for example, and it becomes difficult to remove the fixing portion 22 from the fixing hole Pa, it is possible to easily remove the electric wire member 11 from the fixing object P. Furthermore, because the electric wire holding member 30 can be attached to the fixing member 20 fixed to the fixing object P, it is possible to replace the electric wire member 11 together with the electric wire holding member 30 with a new one.
[0057] The effects of this embodiment will be described. (1) The electric wire holding member 30 is attached to the fixing member 20 in a separable manner by the connection between the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 21. With this configuration, even in a situation where it is difficult to remove the fixing member 20 from the attachment object P, by releasing the connection between the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 21, it becomes possible to easily remove the electric wire member 11 together with the electric wire holding member 30 from the fixing member 20 fixed to the attachment object P.
[0058] (2) The first connecting portion 31 has a locking claw 34. The second connecting portion 21 has locked portions 25, 26 to which the locking claw 34 is locked. With this configuration, the wire holding member 30 can be attached to the fixing member 20 by the locking of the locking claw 34 of the first connecting portion 31 with the locked portions 25, 26 of the second connecting portion 21.
[0059] (3) There are multiple locking claws 34 and multiple locked portions 25, 26. With this configuration, multiple pairs of locking claws 34 and locked portions 25, 26 can firmly connect the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 21. Furthermore, by providing multiple locking claws 34 and multiple locked portions 25, 26, it is possible to reduce the load applied to one locking claw 34 when the vehicle vibrates, for example.
[0060] (4) The slit 36 and flexible portion 37 provided in the first connecting portion 31 constitute a displacement allowing portion that allows displacement of the first locking claw 34a in a direction in which the first locking claw 34a is released from the locked portion 26. According to this configuration, by displacing the locking claw 34 using the displacement allowing portion formed by the slit 36 and the flexible portion 37, it becomes possible to easily release the first locking claw 34a from the locked portion 26.
[0061] (5) The first connecting portion 31 has an operating portion 38 that displaces the first locking claw 34a in cooperation with the displacement-allowing portion. With this configuration, the operating portion 38 can easily operate the displacement of the locking claw 34. Therefore, the operating portion 38 can more easily release the lock of the first locking claw 34a from the locked portion 26.
[0062] (6) The fixing member 20 has a second connecting portion 21. The electric wire holding member 30 has a first connecting portion 31 including an operating portion 38, and a holding portion 32 that holds the electric wire member 11. In the electric wire holding member 30, the holding portion 32 is provided independently of the operating portion 38 so as not to interfere with the operating portion 38. This configuration makes it possible to achieve a configuration in which the force transmitted from the electric wire member 11 is less likely to be transmitted to the operating portion 38 via the holding portion 32. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the operating portion 38 from moving due to the force transmitted from the electric wire member 11, which results in the displacement of the locking claw 34 and unintentional release of the lock with the locked portion 26.
[0063] (7) The first connecting portion 31 has a groove portion 35 provided between the operating portion 38 and the holding portion 32. According to this configuration, the groove portion 35 provided between the holding portion 32 and the operating portion 38 makes it possible to configure the holding portion 32 so that it does not interfere with the operating portion 38.
[0064] (8) The first connecting portion 31 has a base portion 33. The plurality of locking claws 34 extend from a lower surface 33b of the base portion 33. The operating portion 38 protrudes from an end surface 33e of the base portion 33. With this configuration, the operating portion 38 protrudes from the base portion 33, making it possible to easily operate the operating portion 38.
[0065] (9) The holding portion 32 has the tip portion 41a of the band portion 41 as a protruding portion protruding from the end surface 33e of the base portion 33. According to this configuration, the tip portion 41a of the band portion 41 and the operating portion 38 protrude from the same end surface 33e of the base portion 33. This makes it possible to gather the portions protruding from the base portion 33 together on the same end surface 33e. This makes it possible to suppress interference between the wire harness fastener 12 and surrounding components.
[0066] (10) The displacement-allowing portion provided in the first connecting portion 31 has a slit 36 formed in the first connecting portion 31 and a flexible portion 37 that is capable of bending due to the slit 36. The first locking claw 34a is provided in the flexible portion 37. With this configuration, the slit 36 and the flexible portion 37 provided in the first connecting portion 31 make it possible to easily displace the first locking claw 34a. Therefore, it becomes possible to more easily release the lock of the first locking claw 34a with the locked portion 26.
[0067] (11) The operating portion 38 is provided at a position corresponding to the center of the flexible portion 37 in the extension direction of the slit 36. With this configuration, the flexible portion 37 is more likely to bend at the center of the extension direction of the slit 36. In other words, since the operating portion 38 is provided at a position in the flexible portion 37 that is more likely to bend, it becomes possible to more easily release the engagement of the first engaging claw 34a with the engaged portion 26 by the operating portion 38.
[0068] (12) The width of the first locking claw 34a is set larger than the width of each of the multiple second locking claws 34b. According to this configuration, by making the width of the first locking claw 34a larger than the width of each second locking claw 34b, it is possible to suitably connect the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 21. In this embodiment, the displaceable first locking claw 34a is provided near one end of the base portion 33 in the Y axis direction, and the two immovable second locking claws 34b are provided near the other end of the base portion 33 in the Y axis direction. Only one first locking claw 34a is provided in the center of the flexible portion 37 in the X axis direction, where it is easy to ensure a certain amount of deflection. This configuration makes it easier for a load to be applied to the first locking claw 34a. Therefore, by making the width of the first locking claw 34a larger than the width of each second locking claw 34b, it is possible to stably hold the electric wire member 11.
[0069] This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined and implemented within the scope of technical compatibility. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the base portion 23 of the second connecting portion 21 may have a recess 50 into which a portion of the base portion 33 of the first connecting portion 31 fits. A portion of the base portion 33 in the Z-axis direction fits into the recess 50. The recess 50 and the base portion 33 can abut against each other in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction. This configuration makes it possible to suppress rattle between the fixing member 20 and the electric wire holding member 30. As a result, the electric wire member 11 can be stably held by the wire harness fastener 12. Furthermore, by having the base portion 33 abut against the inner surface of the recess 50 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, it becomes possible to reduce the load applied to each locking claw 34 during vehicle vibration, etc.
[0070] 4 and 5 has a notch 51 that connects to the recess 50. The operation unit 38 fits into the notch 51. The operation unit 38 protrudes in the Y-axis direction through the notch 51.
[0071] The width of the first locking claws 34a may be equal to or smaller than the width of each of the second locking claws 34b. In the above embodiment, a plurality of second locking recesses 24b are provided corresponding to the plurality of second locking claws 34b, respectively. However, other configurations may also be used, for example, in which the second locking recesses 24b are connected to each other.
[0072] The number of first locking claws 34a and the number of first locking recesses 24a having locked portions 26 are not limited to those in the above embodiment, and may be two or more. The number of second locking claws 34b and the number of second locking recesses 24b having locked portions 25 are not limited to those in the above embodiment, and may be one or three or more.
[0073] In the electric wire holding member 30 of the above embodiment, the displacement allowance portion having the slit 36 and the flexible portion 37 and the operating portion 38 are configured to be arranged in parallel to the locking portion 42 of the holding portion 32 in the Z-axis direction, but this is not particularly limited to this. For example, the displacement allowance portion having the slit 36 and the flexible portion 37 and the operating portion 38 may be configured to be arranged in parallel to the locking portion 42 in the X-axis direction.
[0074] The configuration of the displacement allowance portion that allows the first locking claw 34a to be displaced in the direction of releasing the locking engagement with the locked portion 26 is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate. The shape of each of the base portions 23, 33 when viewed from the Z-axis direction is not limited to that of the above embodiment, but can be changed as appropriate depending on the configuration of the wire harness fastener 12.
[0075] The size of the base portion 33 of the first connecting portion 31 when viewed in the Z-axis direction may be equal to the size of the base portion 23 of the fixing member 20. Alternatively, the size of the base portion 33 of the first connecting portion 31 when viewed in the Z-axis direction may be larger than the size of the base portion 23 of the fixing member 20.
[0076] The fixing member 20 may have the first connecting portion 31 including the locking claw 34 , and the electric wire holding member 30 may have the second connecting portion 21 including the locked portions 25 , 26 . The configuration of the holding portion 32 is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be changed as appropriate depending on the configuration.
[0077] The configuration of the fixing portion 22 is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be changed as appropriate depending on the configuration. The embodiments and modifications disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects, and the present invention is not limited to these examples. That is, the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, and it is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
