[0010] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.

[0011] The additional wiring holding member of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0012] (1) An additional wiring fixing member for fixing additional wiring to a target part on the vehicle side by using a wiring fixing member having a vehicle fixing portion that is inserted and fixed into a fixing hole of the target part, the additional wiring fixing member comprising: a plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion that is formed in a plate shape having an insertion hole into which the vehicle fixing portion can be inserted, and that is sandwiched between the vehicle fixing portion and the target part to be fixed to the target part; and an additional wiring holding portion that is formed in connection with the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion and holds the additional wiring.

[0013] By inserting the vehicle fixing portion of the wiring fixing member into the insertion hole, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion can be fixed to the fixing target portion using the vehicle fixing portion. As a result, the additional wiring can be held in the additional wiring holding portion connected to the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion, and the additional wiring can be easily fixed using the existing wiring mounting structure.

[0014] (2) In the additional wiring fixing member of (1), the additional wiring holding portion may have an elongated plate-like portion, and the additional wiring may be held in the additional wiring holding portion by binding the additional wiring and the elongated plate-like portion with a binding member while the additional wiring is arranged along the elongated plate-like portion.

[0015] This allows the additional wiring to be easily held by the additional wiring holding portion using a binding member such as adhesive tape or a binding band.

[0016] (3) In the additional wiring fixing member of (2), the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion may extend from a longitudinal intermediate portion of the elongated plate-shaped portion in a direction intersecting the elongated plate-shaped portion.

[0017] (4) In the additional wiring fixing member of (1), the additional wiring holding portion may have a band fixing portion having a band insertion and fixing hole and a band portion extending from the band fixing portion, and the band portion may be inserted into the band insertion and fixing hole with the band portion wound around the additional wiring to form a ring, thereby maintaining the band portion wound around the additional wiring.

[0018] As a result, the additional wiring holding member can hold the additional wiring without any other bundling member by maintaining the state in which the band portion is wrapped around the additional wiring using the band fixing portion.

[0019] (5) In the additional wiring fixing member of (4), when the band portion is wrapped around the additional wiring to form a ring, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion may extend in a direction intersecting the central axis of the ring-shaped band portion.

[0020] This makes it easy to support the additional wiring in a state where it runs parallel to the existing wiring.

[0021] The wiring fixing member of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0022] (6) A wiring fixing structure for fixing wiring and additional wiring to a target part on the vehicle side, comprising: a wiring fixing member having a vehicle fixing portion that is inserted and fixed into a fixing hole of the target part; a plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion formed in a plate shape with an insertion hole into which the vehicle fixing portion can be inserted; and an additional wiring fixing member having an additional wiring holding portion formed continuous with the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion and that holds the additional wiring, wherein the peripheral edge of the insertion hole of the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion is sandwiched between the vehicle fixing portion and the target part and fixed to the target part.

[0023] By inserting the vehicle fixing portion of the wiring fixing member into the insertion hole, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion can be fixed to the fixing target portion using the vehicle fixing portion. As a result, the additional wiring can be held in the additional wiring holding portion connected to the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion, and the additional wiring can be easily fixed using the existing wiring mounting structure.

[0024] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the additional wiring fixing member and wiring fixing structure of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to these examples, but is defined by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.

[0025] [Embodiment] An additional wiring fixing member and a wiring fixing structure according to an embodiment will now be described. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a wiring fixing structure 20. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the wiring fixing structure 20. In Fig. 2, an additional wiring fixing member 50 is shown in a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a rear view showing the wiring fixing structure 20. In Fig. 3, the additional wiring fixing member 50 is shown in a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in Fig. 1. Also, in Figs. 1 to 3, a portion of the fixing target portion 10, the wiring 30, and the additional wiring 34 is shown by two-dot chain lines. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a wiring fixing member 40 and an additional wiring fixing member 50.

[0026] The wire fixing structure 20 is a structure for fixing the wire 30 and the additional wire 34 to the fixing target portion 10.

[0027] The target part 10 is assumed to be a plate-like part supported at a fixed position relative to the vehicle. The target part 10 may be, for example, a part of a metal panel constituting the vehicle, or a part of a bracket fixed to the vehicle. A fixing hole 10h for fixing the wiring 30 is formed in the target part 10. The fixing hole 10h may be a circular hole, an elliptical hole that is long in one direction, or a rectangular hole.

[0028] The wiring 30 includes, for example, a linear transmission member 32 that connects multiple electrical components in a vehicle (part of which is shown in FIG. 2). The linear transmission member 32 may be a linear member that transmits electricity or light. The linear transmission member 32 is, for example, an electric wire that transmits electricity or an optical fiber that transmits light. In this embodiment, the linear transmission member 32 is a coated electric wire having a core wire and a coating that covers the core wire. A plurality of linear transmission members may be bundled together to form a twisted electric wire or a cable.

[0029] The wiring 30 may include only one linear transmission member 32, or may include multiple linear transmission members 32. When the wiring 30 includes multiple linear transmission members 32, the multiple linear transmission members 32 are maintained in a bundled state. For example, the multiple linear transmission members 32 may be maintained in a bundled state by a band portion 48 of the wiring fixing member 40. The multiple linear transmission members 32 may also be maintained in a bundled state by an adhesive tape, a cable tie, or the like that is separate from the wiring fixing member 40.

[0030] The additional wiring 34, like the wiring 30, includes at least one linear transmission member 36 (part of which is shown in FIG. 2). In the wiring fixing structure 20, it is assumed that the wiring 30 and the additional wiring 34 pass close to each other but are not combined into one.

[0031] In addition to the wiring 30, the additional wiring 34 may exist in the following two cases, for example.

[0032] The first case is when wiring 30 is fixed to a target fixing portion 10 in a vehicle and another additional wiring 34 is added. For example, a vehicle is manufactured as a complete vehicle with wiring 30 installed. After this, electrical components may be added to the vehicle when or after it is delivered to a buyer. In this case, additional wiring 34 is installed in the vehicle as wiring for the added electrical components, after wiring 30 has already been installed in the vehicle.

[0033] The second case is when a separate design is made with additional wiring 34 added to a vehicle designed with wiring 30 installed. For example, a vehicle is designed assuming wiring 30 that will be installed in all vehicles regardless of the vehicle model, grade, or whether options are installed. Separately, a vehicle is designed assuming the addition of additional wiring 34 that may or may not be installed in the vehicle depending on the vehicle model, grade, or options. The additional wiring 34 may be wiring that was assumed during the initial design, or may be wiring related to an electrical component that is added due to a model change or the like after the initial design. In this case, a vehicle is manufactured with the additional wiring 34 added to wiring 30 as needed. In the second case, the wiring 30 and the additional wiring 34 can be fixed to the vehicle simultaneously.

[0034] In any case, the additional wiring 34 is fixed on the assumption that there is an actual or designed structure for fixing the wiring 30 to the target part 10. In this embodiment, on the assumption that there is a wiring fixing member 40 having a vehicle fixing portion 41 that is inserted into and fixed to the fixing hole 10h of the target part 10 as the structure for fixing the wiring 30 to the target part 10, a configuration for fixing the additional wiring 34 to the target part 10 using the wiring fixing member 40 will be described.

[0035] The wiring fixing member 40 for fixing the wiring 30 to the fixing target part 10 includes a vehicle fixing part 41 and a wiring fixing part 46.

[0036] The vehicle fixing portion 41 is a portion that is inserted into and fixed to the fixing hole 10h of the target object 10. In this embodiment, the vehicle fixing portion 41 has a fixing base portion 42, a pillar portion 43, and a locking piece 44.

[0037] The fixed base 42 is formed in a shape that is wider than the fixing hole 10h so as not to come out of the fixing hole 10h. In this embodiment, the fixed base 42 is formed in the shape of a disc spring that gradually widens in diameter toward the tip side of the column portion 43, more specifically, in the shape of an elliptical disc spring.

[0038] The pillar portion 43 is formed in an elongated shape so as to protrude from the center of the fixing base 42 to the side opposite the wiring fixing portion 46. The pillar portion 43 is formed in an elongated shape so as to be inserted into the fixing hole 10h and to protrude in the insertion direction of the fixing hole 10h.

[0039] The locking pieces 44 are formed in a shape that extends so as to gradually widen from the tip of the pillar portion 43 toward the base of the pillar portion 43. In this embodiment, a pair of locking pieces 44 extend in opposite directions from the tip of the pillar portion 43. The maximum width of the tip of the pair of locking pieces 44 is larger than the maximum diameter of the fixing hole 10h. The pair of locking pieces 44 are formed to be elastically deformable toward the pillar portion 43 side.

[0040] When the pillar portion 43 and the pair of locking pieces 44 are inserted into the fixing hole 10h, the outer slopes of the pair of locking pieces 44 abut the edges of the fixing hole 10h and elastically deform toward the pillar portion 43. This allows the widest portions of the pair of locking pieces 44 to come out of the fixing hole 10h. Once the widest portions of the pair of locking pieces 44 come out of the fixing hole 10h, the pair of locking pieces 44 are urged in a direction that expands outward by an elastic restoring force. This allows the widest portions of the pair of locking pieces 44 to be locked against the edges of the fixing hole 10h. In this state, the fixing base 42 comes into contact with the portion of the fixing target 10 surrounding the fixing hole 10h from the side opposite the pair of locking pieces 44. As a result, the portion of the fixing target 10 surrounding the fixing hole 10h is sandwiched between the pair of locking pieces 44 and the fixing base 42, thereby fixing the vehicle fixing part 41 to the fixing target 10.

[0041] It is not essential that the vehicle fixing part 41 has a pair of locking pieces 44. For example, the vehicle fixing part may have a configuration in which a plurality of umbrella-shaped locking parts protruding from around the pillar part 43 are formed along the longitudinal direction of the pillar part 43. A vehicle fixing part having such a configuration is sometimes called a tree-shaped clamp.

[0042] The wire fixing portion 46 is a portion that fixes the wire 30. In this embodiment, the wire fixing portion 46 includes a band fixing portion 47 and a band portion 48.

[0043] The band fixing portion 47 is integrally formed with the fixed base 42 on the opposite side from the pillar portion 43. The band fixing portion 47 is formed in the shape of a flattened rectangular tube having a band insertion and fixing hole 47h. The band insertion and fixing hole 47h is formed in the shape of a flattened rectangular hole so that the band portion 48 can be inserted. A band locking piece 47a is formed to protrude from the band insertion and fixing hole 47h.

[0044] The band portion 48 is formed in a narrow strip shape extending from one opening end of the band insertion and fixing hole 47h of the band fixing portion 47. A plurality of locking grooves 48g are formed on one main surface of the band portion 48 so as to be aligned along the longitudinal direction of the band portion 48. Each locking groove 48g is formed as an elongated groove along the width direction of the band portion 48, and is formed so as to be able to lock onto the band locking piece 47a.

[0045] Then, with the band portion 48 wound around the wiring 30 in a loop, the band portion 48 is inserted into the band insertion and fixing hole 47h. Then, the band locking pieces 47a are locked into some of the locking grooves 48g, and the band portion 48 is maintained in a state where it is wound around the wiring 30.

[0046] The wiring fixing member 40 is, for example, a resin part integrally molded from resin using a mold. The wiring fixing member 40 may also be, for example, a part called a band clip or a band clamp.

[0047] The additional wiring fixing member 50 fixes the additional wiring 34 to the fixing target portion 10 by utilizing the configuration for fixing the wiring fixing member 40 to the fixing target portion 10 .

[0048] The additional wiring fixing member 50 includes a plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 and an additional wiring holding portion 60.

[0049] The plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 is formed in a plate shape having an insertion hole 52h into which the vehicle fixing portion 41 can be inserted. The plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 extends around the fixing hole 10h of the fixing target portion 10 to an extent that it can contact one main surface of the fixing target portion 10. In this embodiment, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 is formed in a rectangular plate shape that is wider than the fixing base 42. The corners of the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 are rounded. The insertion hole 52h may be the same size and shape as the fixing hole 10h, but this is not required.

[0050] The plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 does not have a portion that is disposed within the fixing hole 10h, and is a plate that is not integrated with the portion that is disposed within the fixing hole 10h. In this embodiment, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 is a plate-shaped member that has a constant thickness around the insertion hole 52h. The plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 alone does not have a structure that allows it to be caught on the target object 10. Before being fixed to the target object 10, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 itself can move along the surface of the target object 10.

[0051] Then, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 is placed on one main surface of the part to be fixed 10, and the fixing hole 10h and the insertion hole 52h are aligned. In this state, the pillar portion 43 and the pair of locking pieces 44 of the vehicle fixing portion 41 are inserted into the insertion hole 52h and the fixing hole 10h. The pair of locking pieces 44 then come out of the insertion hole 52h and the fixing hole 10h and are locked to the periphery of the fixing hole 10h. In addition, the fixing base 42 is pressed against the periphery of the insertion hole 52h of the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 from the side opposite the part to be fixed 10. As a result, with the part to be fixed 10 and the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 placed on top of each other, the part to be fixed 10 and the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 are sandwiched between the pair of locking pieces 44 and the fixing base 42 around the insertion hole 52h and the fixing hole 10h. As a result, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 is fixed to the target area 10 using the vehicle fixing portion 41. Even in this fixed state, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 is overlapped on the target area 10 without having any portion inserted into the fixing hole 10h.

[0052] It is assumed that the additional thickness of the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 will be absorbed by the greater elastic deformation of at least one of the disc spring as the fixing base 42 and the pair of locking pieces 44 .

[0053] The additional wiring holding portion 60 is formed to be continuous with the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52, and is a portion that holds the additional wiring 34. The additional wiring holding portion 60 may hold the additional wiring 34 by itself, or may hold the additional wiring 34 in combination with another component.

[0054] In this embodiment, the additional wiring holding portion 60 has an elongated plate-shaped portion 61. Here, protrusions 62 that protrude outward in the width direction are formed at both ends of the elongated plate-shaped portion 61. With the additional wiring 34 arranged on one main surface of the elongated plate-shaped portion 61 along the elongated plate-shaped portion 61, a binding member 64 is bound to the additional wiring 34 and the elongated plate-shaped portion 61. The binding member 64 is, for example, an adhesive tape. The binding member may also be a cable tie. In this state, the additional wiring 34 is held by the additional wiring holding portion 60. In this state, the protrusions 62 can serve to prevent the binding member 64 from slipping out from the ends of the elongated plate-shaped portion 61.

[0055] The plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 extends from the longitudinal middle portion of the elongated plate-shaped portion 61 in a direction intersecting the elongated plate-shaped portion 61, in this embodiment, in a direction perpendicular to the elongated plate-shaped portion 61. This makes it easy to support the additional wiring 34 next to the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 that is sandwiched between the wiring fixing member 40 that fixes the wiring 30 and the fixing target site 10, so that the wiring 30 is parallel to the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52.

[0056] The additional wiring holding portion 60 may be thicker than the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52. This allows the additional wiring holding portion 60 to be firmly held. Furthermore, since the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 is thinner than the additional wiring holding portion 60, it is easy to place the additional wiring holding portion 60 between the fixing base 42 and the pair of locking pieces 44, overlapping the fixing target portion 10.

[0057] It is preferable to fix the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 to the fixing target portion 10 using the vehicle fixing portion 41 after the additional wiring 34 is fixed in the additional wiring holding portion 60. However, the additional wiring 34 may also be held in the additional wiring holding portion 60 after the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 is fixed to the fixing target portion 10.

[0058] The wiring fixing member 40 may be, for example, a resin part integrally molded with resin using a mold. The wiring fixing member 40 may also be a metal plate. Furthermore, the wiring fixing member 40 may be a part made by combining metal and resin using insert molding or the like.

[0059] With the additional wiring fixing member 50 and wiring fixing structure 20 configured in this manner, by inserting the vehicle fixing portion 41 of the wiring fixing member 40 into the insertion hole 52h of the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 can be fixed to the target portion 10 using the vehicle fixing portion 41. Then, by holding the additional wiring 34 in the additional wiring holding portion 60 connected to the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52, the additional wiring 34 can be easily fixed to the target portion 10 using the mounting structure of the existing wiring 30.

[0060] For example, when wiring 30 is fixed to a fixing target portion 10 in a vehicle and another additional wiring 34 is to be added, it is assumed that the additional wiring 34 will be fixed to the existing wiring 30 with adhesive tape or a cable tie. In this case, it is difficult to work on the vehicle, and there is a possibility that the bundling points will be uneven and the appearance will be poor.

[0061] According to this embodiment, the additional wiring 34 with the additional wiring holding portion 60 fixed thereto is prepared in advance, and after the wiring fixing member 40 is removed from the fixing hole 10h, the vehicle fixing portion 41 of the wiring fixing member 40 is inserted and fixed into the insertion hole 52h and the fixing hole 10h with the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 overlapping the fixing target portion 10. Therefore, there is no need to perform bundling work on the vehicle, and the fixing work can be performed smoothly, and the fixing points can be aligned to improve the appearance.

[0062] Furthermore, if the possibility of adding additional wiring 34 is known in advance, it is possible to form fixing holes for additional fixing in the target fixing portions 10 in advance. In this case, fixing holes for additional fixing would be formed in all target fixing portions 10 of the vehicle regardless of the possibility of the additional wiring 34 actually being added, which could result in increased costs. In this embodiment, when additional wiring 34 is required, additional wiring fixing members 50 are added, so that the cost burden is limited to a local area and is unlikely to result in an increase in costs for the entire vehicle that may be the target of the additional wiring 34.

[0063] Furthermore, since the additional wiring holding portion 60 has the elongated plate-like portion 61, the additional wiring 34 can be easily held in the additional wiring holding portion 60 by a binding member 64 such as adhesive tape or a binding band.

[0064] Furthermore, since the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 protrudes from the longitudinal middle portion of the elongated plate-shaped portion 61, it is easy to fix the additional wiring 34 held by the elongated plate-shaped portion 61 adjacent to the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 in a parallel state to the wiring 30.

[0065] <Modification> Various modifications based on the above embodiment will be described.

[0066] The configuration of the wiring fixing member 40 for holding the wiring 30 does not need to be the configuration including the band portion 48 as in the above embodiment.

[0067] 5 includes a vehicle fixing portion 41 and a wiring fixing portion 146. The vehicle fixing portion 41 has the same configuration as that described in the above embodiment.

[0068] The wiring fixing portion 146 has a narrow plate-like portion 147 having an elongated plate shape. The narrow plate-like portion 147 extends outward on both sides from a portion of the vehicle fixing portion 41 opposite the pillar portion 43 with respect to the fixing base 42. A slip-out prevention protrusion 148 protruding on one side in the thickness direction is provided at both ends of the narrow plate-like portion 147. The wiring 30 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the narrow plate-like portion 147 on the surface of the narrow plate-like portion 147 opposite the vehicle fixing portion 41. In this state, a binding member 149 such as adhesive tape or a cable tie is bound to the wiring 30 and the narrow plate-like portion 147. This holds the wiring 30 in place in the wiring fixing portion 146. In this state, the slip-out prevention protrusion 148 can prevent the binding member 149 from slipping outward on both ends of the narrow plate-like portion 147.

[0069] Even when the wiring 30 is fixed to the target portion 10 by the wiring fixing member 140, as in the above embodiment, by fixing the additional wiring 34 to the additional wiring fixing member 50, the additional wiring can be fixed to the target portion 10 using the vehicle fixing portion 41 of the wiring fixing member 140.

[0070] The additional wiring holding portion 60 of the additional wiring fixing member 50 does not need to have a configuration including the elongated plate-like portion 61 to hold the additional wiring 34 .

[0071] 6 and 7, an additional wiring fixing member 150 according to a second modified example includes a plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 and an additional wiring holding portion 160. The plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 has the same configuration as the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 in the above embodiment.

[0072] The additional wiring holding portion 160 includes a substrate portion 161 , a band fixing portion 162 , and a band portion 164 .

[0073] The base plate portion 161 is a plate-shaped portion extending from an end of the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52. In this embodiment, the base plate portion 161 is thicker than the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52. A band fixing portion 162 is formed on the end of the base plate portion 161 opposite to the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52.

[0074] The band fixing portion 162 has a square cylindrical band insertion and fixing hole 162h into which the band portion 164 can be inserted. Similar to the band locking piece 47a in the embodiment, a band locking portion that can be locked in the locking groove 164g of the band portion 164 is protruded from the band insertion and fixing hole 162h.

[0075] The band portion 164 is a long, narrow strip-shaped portion extending from the band fixing portion 162. A plurality of locking grooves 164g are formed on one main surface of the band portion 164 along the longitudinal direction of the band portion 164, similar to the locking grooves 48g in the embodiment.

[0076] Here, the band insertion and fixing hole 162h penetrates in a direction away from the insertion hole 52h of the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52. The band portion 164 can be deformed into an annular shape within a plane that passes through the band insertion and fixing hole 162h and the insertion hole 52h and wrapped around the additional wiring 34.

[0077] Then, with the band portion 164 wound around the additional wiring 34 in a loop, the band portion 164 is inserted into the band insertion and fixing hole 162h, and the band portion 164 is maintained in a state where it is wound around the additional wiring 34. In this way, the additional wiring 34 is held in the additional wiring holding portion 160. Note that the portion of the band portion 164 that has come out of the band insertion and fixing hole 162h may be cut and removed.

[0078] The additional wiring fixing member 150 may be a part integrally formed from resin using a mold, or may be a part in which resin and metal are combined by insert molding or the like.

[0079] According to this modification, the state in which the band portion 164 is wound around the additional wiring 34 is maintained by the band fixing portion 162, so that the additional wiring 34 can be held without any other bundling member.

[0080] In addition, in this modified example, when the band portion 164 is wound around the additional wiring 34 to form a ring, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 extends in a direction intersecting (here, perpendicular to) the central axis of the ring-shaped band portion 164.

[0081] Therefore, the additional wiring 34 held by the additional wiring holding portion 160 adjacent to the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 can be easily fixed in a state of running parallel to the wiring 30.

[0082] As described above, the additional wiring holding portion may be capable of holding the additional wiring by itself or by combining with another component. The additional wiring holding portion may be, for example, a plate-shaped portion having a fixing hole formed therein. In this case, the additional wiring 34 may be fixed to the wiring fixing member 40, 140, and the vehicle fixing portion 41 of the wiring fixing member 40, 140 may be inserted into the fixing hole to be fixed to the additional wiring holding portion.

[0083] In the above embodiments, an example has been described in which the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 is sandwiched between the target portion 10 and the fixing base 42. The plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 may also be sandwiched between the fixing base 42 and the locking piece 44. In this case, the wiring 30 and the additional wiring 34 are held separately on both sides of the target portion 10. With the vehicle fixing portion 41 fixed to the fixing hole 10h of the target portion 10, the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52 may be brought close to the target portion 10, the tip of the vehicle fixing portion 41 may be inserted into the insertion hole 52h of the plate-shaped vehicle fixing portion 52, and the locking piece 44 may be locked to the edge of the insertion hole 52h. Therefore, the additional wiring 34 can be fixed to the target portion 10 without removing the vehicle fixing portion 41 from the target portion 10.

[0084] The configurations described in the above embodiment and modifications can be combined as appropriate as long as they are not mutually contradictory. [Explanation of symbols]
