[0011] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.

[0012] The wiring module of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0013] (1) A wiring module includes a wiring member and an elastic water-stopping member having a through-hole housing portion capable of housing a longitudinal portion of the wiring member, the elastic water-stopping member including a first divided water-stopping member and a second divided water-stopping member, the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member being divided from the elastic water-stopping member so as to divide the through-hole housing portion vertically, and the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member being maintained in a combined state with a longitudinal portion of the wiring member housed in the through-hole housing portion. According to the present disclosure, with the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member separated, a longitudinal portion of the wiring member can be housed in the vertically divided through-hole housing portion. Then, by combining the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member, the elastic water-stopping member can be easily attached to the wiring member.

[0014] (2) In the wiring module of (1), at least one of the first divided water stop member and the second divided water stop member may include a peripheral portion exceeding a semicircle as a portion where the penetrating accommodating portion is vertically divided. This allows the first divided water stop member and the second divided water stop member to be easily combined with a linear wiring member or the like included in the wiring member temporarily held in the peripheral portion.

[0015] (3) In the wiring module of (1) or (2), the wiring member may include a plurality of linear wiring members and a covering member covering the plurality of linear wiring members, the plurality of linear wiring members extending from an end of the covering member, the penetrating accommodating portion may include a covering member accommodating recess covering the end of the covering member and a plurality of through-holes continuous with the covering member accommodating recess, the plurality of through-holes being provided corresponding to the plurality of linear wiring members, and the elastic water-stopping member may be divided into the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member so as to divide the portion extending from the covering member accommodating recess to the plurality of through-holes. In this case, the portion extending from the covering member accommodating recess to the plurality of through-holes is divided when the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member are separated. Therefore, the end of the covering member and portions of the plurality of linear wiring members closer to the covering member can be easily accommodated in the covering member accommodating recess and the plurality of through-holes.

[0016] (4) In the wiring module of any one of (1) to (3), the wiring member includes a linear wiring member and a rear-side linear wiring member, the through-accommodation portion includes a through-portion capable of accommodating a longitudinal portion of the linear wiring member and a rear-side through-portion capable of accommodating a longitudinal portion of the rear-side linear wiring member, the elastic water-stopping member is divided so that the rear-side through-portion is provided in the first divided water-stopping member, and a slit is formed in the first divided water-stopping member from the through-portion to the rear-side through-portion, whereby the rear-side linear wiring member can be placed through the slit in the rear-side through-portion located rearward of the division between the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member.

[0017] (5) The wiring module of any one of (1) to (4) may further include an exterior member including a first exterior member and a second exterior member that can be combined with each other, and when the first exterior member and the second exterior member are combined, the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member may be housed in a combined state between the first exterior member and the second exterior member. By combining the first exterior member and the second exterior member, the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member are maintained in a combined state.

[0018] (6) In the wiring module of (5), the first exterior member may hold the first divided waterstop members with the divided surfaces of the first divided waterstop members exposed. In this case, the wiring members can be easily temporarily held in the first divided waterstop members held in the first exterior member.

[0019] (7) In the wiring module of (6), the second exterior member may hold the second divided waterstop member with the divided surface of the second divided waterstop member exposed. In this case, the first divided waterstop member and the second divided waterstop member can be easily combined by combining the first exterior member and the second exterior member.

[0020] (8) In the wiring module of (7), a first set of convex portions may be formed on one of the first divided water-stopping member and the first exterior member, and a first set of concave portions into which the first set of convex portions can be fitted in a first position may be formed on the other, and a second set of convex portions may be formed on one of the second divided water-stopping member and the second exterior member, and a second set of concave portions into which the second set of convex portions can be fitted in a second position may be formed on the other. In this case, the first divided water-stopping member is set in a predetermined position relative to the first exterior member. Also, the second divided water-stopping member is set in a predetermined position relative to the second exterior member. Therefore, when the first exterior member and the second exterior member are combined in the correct position, the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member are combined in the correct position.

[0021] The elastic water-stopping member of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0022] (9) An elastic water-stopping member to be attached to a wiring member, the elastic water-stopping member having a through-hole accommodating portion capable of accommodating a longitudinal portion of the wiring member, the through-hole accommodating portion being vertically divided into a first divided water-stopping member and a second divided water-stopping member. According to the present disclosure, when the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member are separated, a longitudinal portion of the wiring member can be accommodated in the vertically divided through-hole accommodating portion. Then, by combining the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member, the elastic water-stopping member can be easily attached to the wiring member.

[0023] (10) In the elastic water-stopping member of (9), at least one of the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member may include a peripheral surface portion exceeding a semicircle as a portion where the penetrating accommodating portion is vertically divided. Since at least one of the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member includes a peripheral surface portion exceeding a semicircle as a portion where the penetrating accommodating portion is vertically divided, the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member can be easily combined with each other in a state where the linear wiring member included in the wiring member is temporarily held in the peripheral surface portion.

[0024] (11) In the elastic water-stopping member of (9) or (10), the penetrating accommodating portion may include a covering member accommodating recess that opens to one side and a plurality of through-holes that are continuous with the rear side of the covering member accommodating recess, and may be divided into the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member so as to separate the portion from the covering member accommodating recess to the plurality of through-holes. With the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member separated, the portion from the covering member accommodating recess to the plurality of through-holes is divided. Therefore, the end of the covering member and portions of the plurality of linear wiring members that are closer to the covering member can be easily accommodated in the covering member accommodating recess and the plurality of through-holes.

[0025] (12) In the elastic water-stopping member of any one of (9) to (11), the through-accommodating portion includes a through-portion capable of accommodating a longitudinal portion of a linear wiring member in the wiring member and a rear-side through-portion capable of accommodating a longitudinal portion of a linear wiring member other than the linear wiring member in the wiring member, the elastic water-stopping member may be divided so that the rear-side through-portion is provided in the first divided water-stopping member, and a slit may be formed in the first divided water-stopping member extending from the through-portion to the rear-side through-portion. Therefore, the rear-side linear wiring member can be placed in the rear-side through-portion located rearward of the division between the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member.

[0026] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the wiring module and elastic water-stopping member 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.

[0027] [Embodiment] The wiring module and elastic water-stopping member according to the embodiment will be described below. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the wiring module 10. Figs. 2 and 3 are exploded perspective views showing the wiring module 10. Fig. 2 is a perspective view from the second exterior member 62 side, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view seen from the first exterior member 52 side. A portion of the wiring member 20 is shown in each drawing.

[0028] The wiring module 10 includes a wiring member 20 and an elastic water-stopping member 30. In this embodiment, the wiring module 10 further includes an exterior member 50. The wiring member 20 passes through the elastic water-stopping member 30. The elastic water-stopping member 30 prevents water from entering through the periphery of the wiring member 20. The elastic water-stopping member 30 is housed within the exterior member 50. This keeps the wiring member 20 passing through the elastic water-stopping member 30.

[0029] The configuration of each part will be explained.

[0030] The wiring member 20 includes a linear wiring member 22. The wiring member 20 may include one linear wiring member 22 or may include a plurality of linear wiring members 22. In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the wiring member 20 includes a plurality (two in this case) of linear wiring members 22. The wiring member 20 further includes a rear-side linear wiring member 23. In this example, an example will be described in which the wiring member 20 includes a plurality (two in this case) of rear-side linear wiring members 23. The wiring member 20 may be provided with one linear wiring member 22 and one rear-side linear wiring member 23. The rear-side linear wiring member 23 may be omitted.

[0031] The linear wiring member 22 and the rear-side linear wiring member 23 are linear media for transmitting electricity, such as electric wires having a core wire and a sheath surrounding the core wire. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the linear wiring member 22 and the rear-side linear wiring member 23 are general electric wires. The linear wiring member and the rear-side linear wiring member may be cables in which multiple electric wires are covered with a sheath. The linear wiring member and the rear-side linear wiring member may have an electromagnetic shielding layer such as braiding. The linear wiring member and the rear-side linear wiring member may be coaxial cables in which an inner conductor is covered with an outer conductor, and the outer conductor is further covered with a sheath. The linear wiring member and the rear-side linear wiring member may be signal wires or power wires.

[0032] In this embodiment, the plurality of linear wiring members 22 include linear wiring members having different thicknesses. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, they may be distinguished as a thicker linear wiring member 22a and a thinner linear wiring member 22b. The plurality of rear-side linear wiring members 23 include rear-side linear wiring members having different thicknesses. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, they may be distinguished as a thicker rear-side linear wiring member 23a and a thinner rear-side linear wiring member 23b. Note that the thicker linear wiring member 22a and the thicker rear-side linear wiring member 23a have the same thickness. Furthermore, the thinner linear wiring member 22b and the thinner rear-side linear wiring member 23b have the same thickness. The thickness of each linear wiring member and each rear-side linear wiring member is arbitrary.

[0033] The wiring member 20 includes a covering member 24 that partially covers the plurality of linear wiring members 22 in the extension direction. The covering member 24 further partially covers the plurality of rear-side linear wiring members 23 in the extension direction. The covering member 24 is, for example, a sheath formed by extrusion coating a softened and melted resin around the linear wiring members 22 and the rear-side linear wiring member 23. The covering member 24 may be any member that partially covers the linear wiring members 22 and the rear-side linear wiring member 23 in the extension direction. For example, the covering member 24 may be an adhesive tape that is spirally wound around the linear wiring members 22 and the rear-side linear wiring member 23 while overlapping them. The covering member 24 may be a corrugated tube, a resin tube, a resin sheet, or the like that is wrapped around the linear wiring members 22 and the rear-side linear wiring member 23. The portions of the linear wiring members 22 and the rear-side linear wiring member 23 covered by the covering member 24 are kept bundled by the covering member 24.

[0034] A plurality of linear wiring members 22 extend from the end of the covering member 24. A rear-side linear wiring member 23 also extends from the end of the covering member 24. In this embodiment, two linear wiring members 22a, 22b extend from the end of the covering member 24, and two rear-side linear wiring members 23a, 23b also extend.

[0035] FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the elastic water-stopping member 30. FIG. 5 is a front view showing the elastic water-stopping member 30. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in FIG. 5. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII in FIG. 4. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing an example of a manufacturing procedure for the wiring module 10. In FIG. 5, the outline of the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 before being combined is shown by a two-dot chain line. In FIG. 6, the exterior member 50 is shown by a two-dot chain line. In FIG. 7, a cross-section of the wiring member 20 accommodated in the through-hole accommodating portion 32 is shown, with the exterior member 50 being shown by a two-dot chain line.

[0036] The overall configuration of the elastic water-stopping member 30 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the elastic water-stopping member 30 is made of an elastic material such as silicone rubber. In this embodiment, the elastic water-stopping member 30 is formed in a cylindrical shape. More specifically, the elastic water-stopping member 30 includes a cylindrical portion 30a and an extended portion 30b. The extended portion 30b is formed on the side of the cylindrical portion 30a from which the linear wiring member 22 and the rear linear wiring member 23 extend. The extended portion 30b is thinner than the cylindrical portion 30a. Here, the cross section of the cylindrical portion 30a (a cross section in a plane perpendicular to its axis) is formed in a circular shape. The cross section of the extended portion 30b is formed in a shape in which two oval portions are stacked and connected. One oval portion defining the outer periphery of the extended portion 30b is larger than the other oval portion. The elastic water-stopping member 30 may also be formed in an elliptical cylindrical shape or a rectangular cylindrical shape. A through-hole accommodating portion 32 is formed in the elastic water-stopping member 30 (see FIG. 6). The through-hole accommodating portion 32 penetrates the elastic water-stopping member 30 along the axial direction. The through-hole accommodating portion 32 is formed so as to be able to accommodate a portion of the wiring member 20 in the longitudinal direction.

[0037] In this embodiment, the end 24a of the covering member 24 of the wiring member 20 and the portions of the linear wiring member 22 and the rear linear wiring member 23 extending from the end 24a of the covering member 24 are housed in the elastic water-stopping member 30.

[0038] More specifically, the through-accommodating portion 32 includes a covering member accommodating recess 33 and a plurality of through-portions 34. In this embodiment, the through-accommodating portion 32 includes a plurality of deep-side through-portions 35.

[0039] The covering member accommodating recess 33 is formed in a shape that covers the end 24a of the covering member 24. More specifically, the covering member accommodating recess 33 is formed as a cylindrical space recessed from one axial end of the elastic water-stopping member 30. An annular protrusion 33p that protrudes toward the inner periphery is formed on the inner periphery of the covering member accommodating recess 33 (see FIG. 6). The annular protrusion 33p is a part that is sometimes called a lip. The inner diameter of the annular protrusion 33p is formed to be smaller than the outer diameter of the covering member 24. Here, multiple (three) annular protrusions 33p are formed so as to be dispersed in the axial direction of the covering member accommodating recess 33.

[0040] When the end 24a of the covering member 24 of the wiring member 20 is accommodated in the covering member accommodating recess 33, the tip of the annular protrusion 33p elastically deforms and comes into close contact with the periphery of the end 24a, thereby preventing water from running along the outer periphery of the covering member 24.

[0041] The plurality of through-portions 34 are through holes provided continuous with the covering member accommodating recess 33. Here, the plurality of through-portions 34 are holes that penetrate from the bottom of the covering member accommodating recess 33 toward the other end of the elastic water-stopping member 30. The plurality of through-portions 34 are provided corresponding to the plurality of linear wiring members 22. Here, two of the plurality of through-portions 34 are provided in parallel corresponding to two linear wiring members 22. In the following description, the through-portion corresponding to the thicker linear wiring member 22a may be referred to as through-portion 34a, and the through-portion corresponding to the thinner linear wiring member 22b may be referred to as through-portion 34b, and they may be distinguished by reference numeral. The through-portion 34a is larger than the through-portion 34b.

[0042] An annular protrusion 34ap protruding toward the inner periphery is formed on the inner periphery of the through portion 34a (see FIG. 6). The annular protrusion 34ap is a portion that is sometimes called a lip. The inner diameter of the annular protrusion 34ap is smaller than the outer diameter of the linear wiring member 22a. Here, multiple annular protrusions 34ap are formed so as to be distributed in the axial direction of the through portion 34a. When the portion of the linear wiring member 22a on the covering member 24 side is housed in the through portion 34a, the tip of the annular protrusion 34ap elastically deforms and adheres tightly to the periphery of the linear wiring member 22a. This prevents water from running along the outer periphery of the linear wiring member 22a.

[0043] Similarly, an annular protrusion 34bp protruding toward the inner periphery is formed on the inner periphery of the through portion 34b (see FIG. 6). The annular protrusion 34bp is a portion that is sometimes called a lip. The inner diameter of the annular protrusion 34bp is smaller than the outer diameter of the linear wiring member 22b. Here, multiple annular protrusions 34bp are formed so as to be dispersed in the axial direction of the through portion 34b. When the portion of the linear wiring member 22b on the covering member 24 side is housed in the through portion 34b, the tip of the annular protrusion 34bp is elastically deformed and tightly adheres to the periphery of the linear wiring member 22b. This prevents water from running along the outer periphery of the linear wiring member 22b.

[0044] The deep through-portion 35 is a through-hole provided continuous with the covering member accommodating recess 33. Here, the multiple (two) deep through-portions 35 are holes that penetrate from the bottom of the covering member accommodating recess 33 toward the other end of the elastic water-stopping member 30. The multiple deep through-portions 35 are provided corresponding to the multiple deep linear wiring members 23. Here, two deep through-portions 35 are provided in parallel corresponding to two deep linear wiring members 23. In the following description, the one corresponding to the thicker deep linear wiring member 23a may be referred to as the deep through-portion 35a, and the one corresponding to the thinner deep linear wiring member 23b may be referred to as the deep through-portion 35b. The deep through-portion 35a is larger than the deep through-portion 35b.

[0045] The deep through-portion 35a has the same shape as the through-portion 34a. The deep through-portion 35b has the same shape as the through-portion 34b. The thicker deep through-portion 35a is provided adjacent to the similarly thicker through-portion 34a. The thinner deep through-portion 35b is provided adjacent to the similarly thin through-portion 34b. Therefore, the thicker through-portion 34a and the thicker deep through-portion 35a are provided biased toward one side of the elastic water-stopping member 30, and the thinner through-portion 34b and the thinner deep through-portion 35b are provided biased toward the other side of the elastic water-stopping member 30.

[0046] With the end 24a of the covering member 24 accommodated in the covering member accommodating recess 33, the thicker linear wiring member 22a and the thicker rear-side linear wiring member 23a are accommodated in a state of penetrating through the through-portion 34a and the rear-side penetrating portion 35a. Furthermore, the thinner linear wiring member 22b and the thinner rear-side linear wiring member 23b are accommodated in a state of penetrating through the through-portion 34b and the rear-side penetrating portion 35b. In this state, the end 24a of the covering member 24, and the linear wiring member 22 and the rear-side linear wiring member 23 near the covering member 24 are waterproofed by the elastic water-stopping member 30. Therefore, the intrusion of water along the wiring member 20 is suppressed. Furthermore, the opening at the end 24a of the covering member 24 is located inside the water-stopping portions at the end 24a of the covering member 24 (particularly the water-stopping portions provided by the covering-member accommodating recess 33) and the water-stopping portions of the linear wiring member 22 and the rear-side linear wiring member 23 that are closer to the covering member 24 (particularly the water-stopping portions provided by the through-holes 34a, 34b and the rear-side through-holes 35a, 35b, etc.). This prevents water from entering through the opening at the end 24a of the covering member 24.

[0047] The elastic water-stopping member 30 includes a first divided water-stopping member 36 and a second divided water-stopping member 38. The first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 are members obtained by dividing the elastic water-stopping member 30 so as to divide the through-hole accommodating portion 32 longitudinally. Here, "so as to divide the through-hole accommodating portion 32 longitudinally" means that the circumferential surface forming the through-hole accommodating portion 32 is divided along a line extending from an opening on one end side to an opening on the other end side. The line dividing the circumferential surface forming the through-hole accommodating portion 32 may be straight or may be curved partway along the line.

[0048] Here, the elastic water-stopping member 30 is divided into a first divided water-stopping member 36 and a second divided water-stopping member 38 so as to divide the portion extending from the covering member accommodating recess 33 to the plurality of through-holes 34a, 34b. The elastic water-stopping member 30 is also divided so that the rear through-holes 35a, 35b are provided on the first divided water-stopping member 36 side. More specifically, a dividing surface (boundary surface) 45 dividing the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 includes a central divided surface 46 and an outer peripheral partial cross-section 47 (see FIGS. 5, 7, etc.). The central divided surface 46 divides the portion of the elastic water-stopping member 30 closer to the center. The outer peripheral partial cross-sections 47 are connected to both outer sides of the central divided surface 46 and divide the portion of the elastic water-stopping member 30 closer to the outer periphery.

[0049] The central divided surface 46 divides the central portion of the elastic water-stopping member 30 so as to vertically divide the through-hole accommodating portion 32. More specifically, the central divided surface 46 includes a first central divided surface 46a and a second central divided surface 46b (see FIG. 8).

[0050] The first central dividing surface 46a divides the elastic water-stopping member 30 at a portion where the covering-member accommodating recess 33 is formed. Here, the first central dividing surface 46a is set at a position offset from a plane that bisects the covering-member accommodating recess 33 along its axial direction. Here, the first central dividing surface 46a is set along a position that is farther away from the inner-side through-portions 35a, 35b than the central axis of the covering-member accommodating recess 33. As a result, the first divided water-stopping member 36 has a circumferential surface portion 33f that exceeds a semicircle as a portion where the covering-member accommodating recess 33 of the through-portion 32 is vertically divided (see FIG. 8). Note that the first central dividing surface 46a may be offset to the opposite side, and the second divided water-stopping member 38 may have a circumferential surface portion that exceeds a semicircle.

[0051] The second central dividing surface 46b divides the elastic water-stopping member 30 at the portion where the through-portions 34a, 34b are formed. Here, the second central dividing surface 46b is formed so as to extend from one of the parallel-extending through-portions 34a, 34b to the other. The second central dividing surface 46b is positioned offset from a plane that bisects the through-portions 34a, 34b along their axial directions. Here, the second central dividing surface 46b is positioned along a position that is farther away from the inner through-portions 35a, 35b than the central axes of the through-portions 34a, 34b. As a result, the first divided water-stopping member 36 has peripheral surface portions 34af, 34bf that exceed semicircular shapes as vertically divided portions of the through-portions 34a, 34b of the penetrating receiving portion 32 (see FIGS. 5 and 8). The peripheral surface portions 34af, 34bf are formed so as to branch off from the peripheral surface portion 33f.

[0052] The central divided surface 46 is set offset toward the opposite side of the rear-side through-hole 35a with respect to the central axis of the elastic water-stopping member 30. In contrast, the outer peripheral partial cross section 47 is set along a plane that bisects the elastic water-stopping member 30 along the central axis of the elastic water-stopping member 30. Therefore, the first divided water-stopping member 36 is formed with a protrusion 36a that protrudes from its widthwise center (see FIG. 5), and the second divided water-stopping member 38 is formed with a recess 38a that is recessed from its widthwise center. The protrusion 36a is gradually narrowed in the protruding direction, and the recess 38a is gradually narrowed toward the rear. When the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 are combined, the protrusion 36a is guided and fitted into the recess 38a, thereby preventing misalignment between the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38.

[0053] In the first divided water-stopping member 36, rear-side through-holes 35a, 35b are provided further rearward than circumferential surface portions 34af, 34bf, which are part of the through-holes 34a, 34b. Slits 39a, 39b are formed in this first divided water-stopping member 36, extending from the circumferential surface portions 34af, 34bf to the rear-side through-holes 35a, 35b. Here, the slit 39a is formed from the circumferential surface portion 34af, which is part of the through-hole 34a, toward the rear-side through-hole 35a and in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the elastic water-stopping member 30. In addition, the slit 39b is formed from the circumferential surface portion 34bf, which is part of the through-hole 34b, toward the rear-side through-hole 35b and in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the elastic water-stopping member 30.

[0054] Before the second divided water-stopping member 38 is combined with the first divided water-stopping member 36, the end 24a of the covering member 24 is accommodated in the circumferential surface portion 33f, which is part of the covering-member accommodating recess 33 of the first divided water-stopping member 36. Because the circumferential surface portion 33f opens toward the dividing surface 45, the end 24a of the covering member 24 is easily pushed into the circumferential surface portion 33f through the opening. Because the circumferential surface portion 33f is formed in a shape exceeding a semicircle, the width of the opening on the dividing surface 45 side is smaller than the diameter of the covering member 24. Therefore, when the end 24a of the covering member 24 is accommodated in the circumferential surface portion 33f, it is difficult for the end 24a of the covering member 24 to come off the circumferential surface portion 33f.

[0055] The thicker rear linear wiring member 23a is housed in the rear through-hole 35a from a peripheral surface portion 34af, which is part of the through-hole 34a, through the slit 39a. Similarly, the thinner rear linear wiring member 23b is housed in the rear through-hole 35b from a peripheral surface portion 34bf, which is part of the through-hole 34b, through the slit 39b.

[0056] Furthermore, the thicker linear wiring member 22a is housed within the peripheral surface portion 34af, which is a part of the through-hole portion 34a. Because the peripheral surface portion 34af is open on the dividing surface 45 side, the thicker linear wiring member 22a can be easily pushed into the peripheral surface portion 34af through the opening. Because the peripheral surface portion 34af is formed in a shape exceeding a semicircle, the width of the opening on the dividing surface 45 side is smaller than the diameter of the thicker linear wiring member 22a. Therefore, when the thicker linear wiring member 22a is housed within the peripheral surface portion 34af, it is difficult for the thicker linear wiring member 22a to come out of the peripheral surface portion 34af.

[0057] Similarly, the thinner linear wiring member 22b is housed in a peripheral surface portion 34bf, which is a part of the through-hole portion 34b. Because the peripheral surface portion 34bf is open on the dividing surface 45 side, the thinner linear wiring member 22b can be easily pushed into the peripheral surface portion 34bf through the opening. Because the peripheral surface portion 34bf is formed in a shape exceeding a semicircle, the width of the opening on the dividing surface 45 side is smaller than the diameter of the thinner linear wiring member 22b. Therefore, when the thinner linear wiring member 22b is housed in the peripheral surface portion 34bf, it is difficult for the thinner linear wiring member 22b to come out of the peripheral surface portion 34bf.

[0058] A first outer annular protrusion 42 and a second outer annular protrusion 43 are formed on the outer periphery of the elastic water-stopping member 30. The first outer annular protrusion 42 is formed on the outer periphery of the elastic water-stopping member 30, in a portion outside the covering member accommodating recess 33. It is preferable that the first outer annular protrusion 42 and the annular protrusion 33p at least partially overlap in the axial direction of the elastic water-stopping member 30. The first outer annular protrusion 42 is formed in an annular shape protruding in the circumferential direction from the outer periphery of the columnar portion 30a of the elastic water-stopping member 30. Here, a plurality of first outer annular protrusions 42 are formed. The second outer annular protrusion 43 is formed on the outer periphery of the elastic water-stopping member 30, in portions outside the through-holes 34a, 34b and the inner through-holes 35a, 35b. It is preferable that the second outer annular protrusion 43 and the annular protrusions 34ap, 34bp at least partially overlap in the axial direction of the elastic water-stopping member 30. The second outer annular protrusion 43 is formed in an annular shape protruding in the circumferential direction from the outer periphery of the columnar portion 30a of the elastic water-stopping member 30. Here, a plurality of second outer annular protrusions 43 are formed.

[0059] A first set of protrusions 48 is formed on the first divided water-stopping member 36. The first set of protrusions 48 protrude from a portion of the first divided water-stopping member 36 opposite the dividing surface 45. The first set of protrusions 48 includes a base 48a and a head 48b. The base 48a protrudes from the outer periphery of the first divided water-stopping member 36. The head 48b protrudes from the tip of the base 48a toward the outer periphery of the base 48a. The head 48b is formed in a shape other than a circle, for example, an oval shape. The head 48b is fitted into a first set of recesses 57 in the exterior member 50.

[0060] A second set of protrusions 49 is formed on the second divided water-stopping member 38. The second set of protrusions 49 protrude from a portion of the second divided water-stopping member 38 opposite the dividing surface 45. The second set of protrusions 49 includes a base 49a and a head 49b. The base 49a protrudes from the outer periphery of the second divided water-stopping member 38. The head 49b protrudes from the tip of the base 49a toward the outer periphery of the base 49a. This head 49b is fitted into a second set of recesses 67 in the exterior member 50. Here, the first set of protrusions 48 and the second set of protrusions 49 have the same shape. The first set of protrusions 48 and the second set of protrusions 49 may have different shapes.

[0061] As described above, the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 are combined with each other in a state in which a longitudinal portion of the wiring member 20 is accommodated in the inner through-holes 35a, 35b, the peripheral surface portions 34af, 34bf of the through-holes 34a, 34b, and the peripheral surface portion 33f of the covering member accommodating recess 33 in the first divided water-stopping member 36. In this manner, the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 are maintained in a combined state with a longitudinal portion of the wiring member 20 accommodated in the through-hole accommodating portion 32. In this embodiment, the combined state is maintained by the exterior member 50.

[0062] The exterior member 50 is a member that covers the elastic water-stopping member 30 and plays a role in maintaining the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 in a combined state. In this embodiment, the exterior member 50 includes a first exterior member 52 and a second exterior member 62 that are combineable with each other. When the first exterior member 52 and the second exterior member 62 are combined, the elastic water-stopping member 30 is housed between them. The force that tries to maintain the first exterior member 52 and the second exterior member 62 in a combined state compresses the elastic water-stopping member 30, thereby maintaining the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 in a combined state.

[0063] More specifically, the first exterior member 52 and the second exterior member 62 are each made of resin or the like.

[0064] The first exterior member 52 includes a bottom plate portion 53 and a pair of side wall portions 54. The bottom plate portion 53 is formed in a rectangular plate shape. A pair of side wall portions 54 are erected on both sides of the bottom plate portion 53. A combining protrusion 54p is formed on the outer surface of the side wall portion 54. The combining protrusion 54p is formed in a shape that gradually reduces in protrusion dimension toward the tip side of the side wall portion 54. Guide protrusions 54q are formed on the outer side of both sides of the combining protrusion 54p. The guide protrusions 54q are formed in an elongated protrusion shape that extends from the base end side of the side wall portion 54 toward the tip side.

[0065] A semicircular water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f is formed in the longitudinal middle portion of bottom plate portion 53. A portion of first divided water-stopping member 36 corresponding to cylindrical portion 30a is housed within water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f.

[0066] A first positioning portion 55a is provided at one end of the water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f. The first positioning portion 55a is formed in a U-shape that protrudes inward from the inner circumferential surface of the water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f. A recess in which the covering member 24 can be placed is formed within the first positioning portion 55a. A semi-cylindrical holding portion 56a in which the covering member 24 can be placed is formed at one end of the bottom plate portion 53. The semi-cylindrical holding portion 56a is located outside the first positioning portion 55a. A protrusion is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the semi-cylindrical holding portion 56a along its circumferential direction. The covering member 24 portion of the wiring member 20 extending from the elastic water-stopping member 30 (or the first divided water-stopping member 36) passes through the first positioning portion 55a and is held within the semi-cylindrical holding portion 56a.

[0067] A second positioning portion 55b is provided at the other end of the water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f. The second positioning portion 55b is formed in a U-shape that protrudes inward from the inner circumferential surface of the water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f. A recess is formed within the second positioning portion 55b, into which a portion of the first divided water-stopping member 36 corresponding to the extended portion 30b can be placed. A partition portion 55c protrudes from the bottom plate portion 53 at an outer portion of the second positioning portion 55b, passing through a widthwise middle position of the second positioning portion 55b. Of the linear wiring members 22 and rear-side linear wiring members 23 extending from the elastic water-stopping member 30 (or the first divided water-stopping member 36), the thicker linear wiring member 22a and the thicker rear-side linear wiring member 23a, and the thinner linear wiring member 22b and the thinner rear-side linear wiring member 23b, extend outward while being separated by the partition portion 55c.

[0068] First set recesses 57 are formed in the water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f of the bottom plate portion 53. The first set recesses 57 are formed in a shape that allows the first set protrusions 48 to be fitted therein. Here, the first set recesses 57 are formed in an oval shape corresponding to the first set protrusions 48. The first set recesses 57 only need to be recessed when viewed from the water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f, and may be bottomed holes or through-holes. Here, the first set recesses 57 are holes that penetrate outward from the water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f. It is preferable that the first set protrusions 48 be configured to be press-fitted into the first set recesses 57 so that the first divided water-stopping member 36 does not easily come off from the first exterior member 52.

[0069] The first divided water-stopping member 36 is set on the water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f with its first set of protrusions 48 fitted into the first set of recesses 57. In this state, the semi-cylindrical portion of the first divided water-stopping member 36 corresponding to the cylindrical portion 30a is housed within the water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f. In this state, one end face of the first divided water-stopping member 36 contacts the first positioning portion 55a. Furthermore, the portion of the first divided water-stopping member 36 corresponding to the extended portion 30b is housed within the second positioning portion 55b, and the outward step of the portion of the first divided water-stopping member 36 corresponding to the boundary between the cylindrical portion 30a and the extended portion 30b contacts the second positioning portion 55b. This positions the first divided water-stopping member 36 in its axial direction relative to the first exterior member 52. The dividing surface 45 is formed on the portion of the first divided water-stopping member 36 opposite the first set of protrusions 48. Therefore, the dividing surface 45 of the first divided water-stopping member 36 is exposed to the outside on the side opposite to the bottom plate portion 53. In this way, the first exterior member 52 can hold the first divided water-stopping member 36 with the dividing surface 45 exposed.

[0070] The second exterior member 62 includes a ceiling plate 63 and a pair of side wall portions 64. The ceiling plate 63 is formed in a rectangular plate shape similar to the bottom plate 53. A pair of side wall portions 64 protrude from both sides of the ceiling plate 63. A combination recess 64pa is formed on the outer surface of the side wall portion 64. Here, a combination extension piece 64p is formed from the outer surface of the side wall portion 64 toward its tip end. The combination recess 64pa is formed at the tip end of the combination extension piece 64p, in which the combination protrusion 54p can be placed. When the second exterior member 62 is placed on the first exterior member 52, the tip edges of the pair of side wall portions 54 and the tip edges of the pair of side wall portions 64 are arranged opposite each other. Note that the overlapping pieces at the tip ends of the pair of side wall portions 64 cover the outside of the tip edges of the pair of side wall portions 54. In this state, the tip of the combining extension piece 64p climbs over the combining protrusion 54p, and the combining protrusion 54p enters the combining recess 64pa. As a result, the combining protrusion 54p is caught in the combining recess 64pa in a non-detachable state, and the combined state of the first exterior member 52 and the second exterior member 62 is maintained.

[0071] A semicircular water-stopping member divided holding surface 65f is formed in the longitudinal middle of ceiling panel portion 63. A portion of second divided water-stopping member 38 corresponding to cylindrical portion 30a is housed within water-stopping member divided holding surface 65f. Cylindrical portion 30a of elastic water-stopping member 30 is housed within the cylindrical space formed by water-stopping member divided holding surface 55f and water-stopping member divided holding surface 65f.

[0072] When the first exterior member 52 and the second exterior member 62 are combined, the distance between the innermost portion of the waterstopping member divided holding surface 55f and the innermost portion of the waterstopping member divided holding surface 65f is smaller than the diameter of the first outer annular protrusion 42 and the second outer annular protrusion 43 of the cylindrical portion 30a. Furthermore, the radius of curvature of the waterstopping member divided holding surfaces 55f, 65f is smaller than the radius of the first outer annular protrusion 42 and the second outer annular protrusion 43 of the cylindrical portion 30a. Therefore, when the first outer annular protrusion 42 and the second exterior member 62 are combined, a contraction force acts on the first outer annular protrusion 42 and the second outer annular protrusion 43 of the cylindrical portion 30a. This contraction force acts on the elastic waterstopping member 30 as a force tightening the first divided waterstopping member 36 and the second divided waterstopping member 38 in the combined direction.

[0073] A first positioning portion 65a is provided at one end of the water-stopping member divided holding surface 65f. The first positioning portion 65a is formed in an arc shape that protrudes inward from the inner circumferential surface of the water-stopping member divided holding surface 65f. The first positioning portion 65a contacts an annular region on one end surface of the second divided water-stopping member 38, thereby positioning the second divided water-stopping member 38. A semi-cylindrical holding portion 66a having a configuration similar to the semi-cylindrical holding portion 56a is formed at one end of the ceiling panel portion 63. When the first exterior member 52 and the second exterior member 62 are combined, the semi-cylindrical holding portions 56a, 66a sandwich and hold the covering member 24.

[0074] A partition wall portion 65b is provided at the other end of the waterstop member divided holding surface 65f. A recess is formed in the partition wall portion 65b in which the second positioning portion 55b and the extension portion 30b can be disposed. When the first exterior member 52 and the second exterior member 62 are combined, the second positioning portion 55b and the extension portion 30b are disposed in the recess of the partition wall portion 65b. In this state, the partition wall portion 65b separates the interior and exterior spaces of the exterior member 50. The partition wall portion 65b protrudes from the waterstop member divided holding surface 65f.

[0075] A second set recess 67 is formed on the water-stopping member divided holding surface 65f of the ceiling panel portion 63. Similar to the relationship of the first set recess 57 to the first set protrusion 48, the second set recess 67 is formed in a shape that allows the second set protrusion 49 to be fitted therein.

[0076] The second divided water-stopping member 38 is set on the water-stopping member divided holding surface 65f with its second set protrusions 49 fitted into the second set recesses 67. In this state, the semi-cylindrical portion of the second divided water-stopping member 38 corresponding to the cylindrical portion 30a is housed within the water-stopping member divided holding surface 65f. In this state, one end face of the second divided water-stopping member 38 contacts the first positioning portion 65a. Furthermore, the portion of the second divided water-stopping member 38 corresponding to the extended portion 30b is housed within the partition wall portion 65b, and the outward step of the portion of the second divided water-stopping member 38 corresponding to the boundary between the cylindrical portion 30a and the extended portion 30b contacts the partition wall portion 65b. This positions the second divided water-stopping member 38 axially relative to the second exterior member 62. The dividing surface 45 is formed on the portion of the second divided water-stopping member 38 opposite the second set protrusions 49. For this reason, dividing surface 45 of second divided water-stopping member 38 is exposed to the outside on the side opposite ceiling panel portion 63. In this way, second exterior member 62 can hold second divided water-stopping member 38 with dividing surface 45 exposed.

[0077] An example of a manufacturing method for the wiring module 10 configured in this manner will be described.

[0078] A wiring member 20 is prepared in which a linear wiring member 22 and a rear linear wiring member 23 extend from the end of a covering member 24.

[0079] The first divided water-stopping member 36 is set in the first exterior member 52 by fitting the first set convex portion 48 into the first set concave portion 57. In this state, as shown in FIG. 8 , the dividing surface 45 of the first divided water-stopping member 36 faces away from the bottom plate portion 53. Therefore, the slit-shaped opening of the through-hole accommodating portion 32 at the dividing surface 45 is exposed on the side opposite to the bottom plate portion 53.

[0080] In the above state, the end 24a of the covering member 24 is pressed into the peripheral surface portion 33f and accommodated in the peripheral surface portion 33f (see arrow P1 in FIG. 8). The rear linear wiring members 23a, 23b are pressed into the peripheral surface portions 34af, 34bf (see arrows P2, P3 in FIG. 8), pass through the rear slits 39a, 39b, and are accommodated in the rear through-holes 35a, 35b. Subsequently, the linear wiring members 22a, 22b are pressed into the peripheral surface portions 34af, 34bf and accommodated in the peripheral surface portions 34af, 34bf. This results in a state in which a portion of the wiring member 20 is accommodated in the portion of the through-hole accommodating portion 32 that is formed in the first divided water-stopping member 36. In this state, the peripheral surface portions 33f, 34af, 34bf are formed in a shape exceeding a semicircle, making it difficult for the wiring member 20 to come off the first divided water-stopping member 36.

[0081] Separately from the above, the second divided water-stopping member 38 is set in the second exterior member 62 by fitting the second set protrusion 49 into the second set recess 67. In this state, the divided surface 45 of the second divided water-stopping member 38 faces away from the ceiling panel portion 63.

[0082] Thereafter, the second exterior member 62 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 are placed over the first exterior member 52 and the first divided water-stopping member 36 (see arrow P4 in FIG. 8), and the combining protrusion 54p is caught in the combining recess 64pa in a non-detachable state. This maintains the first exterior member 52 and the second exterior member 62 in a combined state. Then, the columnar portion 30a is compressed within the water-stopping member divided holding surfaces 55f, 65f, and the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 are maintained in a combined state.

[0083] The wiring module 10 configured in this manner can be used as wiring for the suspension of a vehicle, such as wiring for an ABS (antilock braking system). Such wiring may be used outside the vehicle body in an environment where it may be exposed to water, so it is effective to improve the waterproofing properties as described above.

[0084] With the wiring module 10 and elastic water-stopping member 30 configured as described above, when the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 are separated, a longitudinal portion of the wiring member 20 can be accommodated in the vertically divided through-hole accommodating section 32. After this, the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 are combined, whereby the elastic water-stopping member 30 can be easily attached to the wiring member 20. This eliminates the need for work such as inserting the wiring member into the through-hole along its axial direction, and the elastic water-stopping member 30 can be easily attached to the wiring member 20.

[0085] Furthermore, at least one of the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 includes peripheral surface portions 33f, 34af, and 34bf exceeding a semicircle as the vertically divided portions of the through-hole housing portion 32. Therefore, the end portion 24a of the covering member 24 and the linear wiring members 22a and 22b included in the wiring member 20 are easily temporarily held by the peripheral surface portions 33f, 34af, and 34bf. In this state, the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 can be combined. Therefore, the wiring member 20 is less likely to come off the first divided water-stopping member 36 or the second divided water-stopping member 38 during the combining process, facilitating the combining process. Note that both the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member may have peripheral surface portions exceeding a semicircle at the respective through-hole portions.

[0086] The elastic water-stopping member 30 is formed with a covering member accommodating recess 33 and multiple through-holes 34a, 34b. The elastic water-stopping member 30 is divided into a first divided water-stopping member 36 and a second divided water-stopping member 38, dividing the section extending from the covering member accommodating recess 33 to the multiple through-holes 34a, 34b. Therefore, even in a configuration in which multiple linear wiring members 22a, 22b extend from the covering member 24, the divided structure of the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 can be utilized to accommodate the end 24a of the covering member 24 within the covering member accommodating recess 33 and the linear wiring members 22a, 22b in the through-holes 34a, 34b. This allows for individual water-stopping for the end 24a of the covering member 24 and the multiple linear wiring members 22a, 22b. In this case, water intrusion through the opening in the end 24a of the covering member 24 is effectively prevented.

[0087] In addition, slits 39a, 39b are formed from the through-holes 34a, 34b to the rear through-holes 35a, 35b. Therefore, the rear linear wiring members 23a, 23b can be arranged in the rear through-holes 35a, 35b, which are located rearward of the dividing plane 45. This allows the numerous linear wiring members 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b to be individually waterproofed without forming a dividing plane that passes through all of the numerous through-holes. Furthermore, since no slits that directly reach the outside of the elastic water-stopping member 30 are formed for the rear through-holes 35a, 35b, water-stopping properties can be improved.

[0088] Furthermore, by housing the elastic water-stopping member 30 between the first outer member 52 and the second outer member 62 and combining them, the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 are maintained in a combined state, making it easier to manufacture the wiring module 10.

[0089] Furthermore, because the first divided water-stopping member 36 is set in the first exterior member 52 with the dividing surface 45 exposed, the wiring member 20 can be easily temporarily held in the first divided water-stopping member 36 held in the first exterior member 52. That is, the first divided water-stopping member 36 may be difficult to grasp due to at least one of the following factors. For example, this may be the case when the first divided water-stopping member 36 is too small to be grasped. Another example is when the first divided water-stopping member 36 is made of a slippery material such as silicone rubber. In such a case, while grasping the first divided water-stopping member 36 together with the first exterior member 52, a longitudinal portion of the wiring member 20 can be pressed into the peripheral surface portions 33f, 34af, and 34bf to temporarily hold the wiring member 20 in the first divided water-stopping member 36. This allows the elastic water-stopping member 30 to be easily attached to the wiring member 20.

[0090] Furthermore, when the second divided water-stopping member 38 is set in the second outer member 62, the first divided water-stopping member 36 and the second divided water-stopping member 38 can be easily combined by combining the first outer member 52 and the second outer member 62.

[0091] [Variations] Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing an elastic water-stopping member 130 according to a first modified example. Fig. 10 is a bottom view showing the elastic water-stopping member 130. In Fig. 10, the outline of a first exterior member 152 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

[0092] The elastic water-stopping member 130 differs from the elastic water-stopping member 30 in that the first set of protrusions 48 are replaced with first set of protrusions 148, and the second set of protrusions 49 are replaced with second set of protrusions 149.

[0093] The first set of protrusions 148 includes a base 148a and a head 148b. The base 148a protrudes from the outer periphery of the first divided water-stopping member 136 that corresponds to the first divided water-stopping member 36 in the elastic water-stopping member 130. The head 148b protrudes from the tip of the base 148a toward the outer periphery of the base 148a. The head 148b is formed in a shape that does not have rotational symmetry when observed from the outside of the elastic water-stopping member 130. Here, the head 148b is formed in a T-shape with a horizontal bar portion connected to one end of a vertical bar portion when observed from the outside of the elastic water-stopping member 130. The vertical bar portion extends parallel to the axial direction of the elastic water-stopping member 30. The horizontal bar portion extends from the end of the vertical bar portion closer to the through-holes 34a and 34b in the width direction of the elastic water-stopping member 30 (in a direction perpendicular to both the axial direction of the elastic water-stopping member 130 and the direction connecting the first set of protrusions 148 and the second set of protrusions 149).

[0094] A first set recess 157 is formed in the first exterior member 152 corresponding to the first exterior member 52, instead of the first set recess 57. The first set recess 157 is formed in a shape that allows the first set protrusion 148 to be fitted therein only in one first position. Here, like the first set protrusion 148, the first set recess 157 is formed in a T-shape with a horizontally elongated recess portion continuing from one end of a vertically elongated recess portion. The vertically elongated recess portion extends parallel to the vertical axis direction of the first exterior member 152 (the axial direction of the semi-cylindrical holding portion 56a, see FIG. 2). The horizontally elongated recess portion extends from an end of the vertically elongated recess portion closer to the first positioning portion 55a (see FIG. 2), parallel to the width direction of the first exterior member 152 (the width direction of the semi-cylindrical holding portion 56a). The first set recess 157 may be formed to have the same shape and size as the first set protrusion 148, or may be formed to have a shape smaller than the first set protrusion 148 as long as the first set protrusion 148 can be press-fitted into it.

[0095] Similar to the first set protrusions 148, the second set protrusions 149 also protrude from the outer periphery of the second divided water-stopping member 138 corresponding to the second divided water-stopping member 38 in the elastic water-stopping member 130. The second set protrusions 149 are formed in a shape having a base 149a corresponding to the base 148a and a head 149b corresponding to the head 148b. Furthermore, the second exterior member 62 is formed with a second set recess 167 instead of the second set recess 67. The head 149b is formed in the same shape as the head 148b, and the second set recess 167 is also formed in the same shape as the first set recess 157. Therefore, the second set protrusions 149 are also fitted into the second set recess 167 only in a predetermined second orientation.

[0096] According to this modification, the first set convex portion 148 can only be fitted into the first set concave portion 157 in a predetermined first position, and therefore the first divided water-stopping member 136 can only be set in the first exterior member 152 in a predetermined correct position. Similarly, the second set convex portion 149 can only be fitted into the second set concave portion 167 in a predetermined second position, and therefore the second divided water-stopping member 138 can only be set in the second exterior member 162 in a predetermined correct position. Therefore, if the first exterior member 152 and the second exterior member 162 are combined in the correct position while checking the external shapes of the first exterior member 152 and the second exterior member 162, the first divided water-stopping member 136 and the second divided water-stopping member 138 inside them will also be combined in the correct position.

[0097] This ensures that the first divided water-stopping member 136 and the second divided water-stopping member 138, which are hidden inside the first outer member 152 and the second outer member 162 and are difficult to see directly, are combined in the correct posture, and water-stopping properties provided by the first divided water-stopping member 136 and the second divided water-stopping member 138 are guaranteed.

[0098] The shapes of the first set convex portion 148 and the first set recessed portion 157, and the shapes of the second set convex portion 149 and the second set recessed portion 167 are not limited to the above examples. For example, as in an elastic water-stopping member 230 according to a second modified example shown in FIG. 11 , the head portion 248b of the first set convex portion 248 may be arrow-shaped. Here, the head portion 248b is formed in a shape in which a triangular portion is connected to one end of a rectangular portion. The second set convex portion 249 is also formed in the same shape as the first set convex portion 248. In this case, the first set recessed portion into which the first set convex portion 248 is fitted and the second set recessed portion into which the second set convex portion 249 is fitted may be formed in the arrow shape as described above.

[0099] Furthermore, for example, as in an elastic water-stopping member 330 according to a third modified example shown in FIG. 12, the head 348b of the first set of protrusions 348 may be L-shaped. Here, the head 348b is formed in a shape in which one end of a vertical bar is connected to one side of the vertical bar. The vertical bar and horizontal bar have different lengths, and in this case, the horizontal bar is shorter than the vertical bar. In this case, the first set of recesses into which the first set of protrusions 348 are fitted and the second set of recesses into which the second set of protrusions 349 are fitted may be formed in an L-shape as described above.

[0100] In the second and third modified examples, it is also ensured that the first divided water-stopping member and the second divided water-stopping member are combined in the correct orientation inside the exterior member, ensuring water-stopping performance.

[0101] In the above embodiment and each modified example, the first set of protrusions 48, 148, 248, 348 may have different shapes from the second set of protrusions 49, 149, 249, 349. For example, the first set of protrusions 148 and the second set of protrusions 249 may be applied to the same elastic water-stopping member.

[0102] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment and each modified example, an example has been described in which the first divided water-stopping member is formed with a first set of convex portions and the exterior member is formed with a first set of concave portions, but the convex-concave relationship may be reversed. That is, for example, the first divided water-stopping member of the elastic water-stopping member may be formed with first set of concave portions with a bottomed recess instead of the first set of convex portions, and the first exterior member may be formed with first set of convex portions that protrude inward instead of the first set of concave portions. Similarly, the second divided water-stopping member of the elastic water-stopping member may be formed with second set of concave portions with a bottomed recess instead of the second set of convex portions, and the second exterior member may be formed with second set of convex portions that protrude inward instead of the second set of concave portions.

[0103] 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]
