Abstract
Description
【Technical Field】 【0001】 This invention relates to an attachment structure to be attached to an attachment target. 【Background Art】 【0002】 Conventionally, an attachment structure to be attached to an attachment target has been known. For example, it is a protector or the like with an automobile body as the attachment target. The protector protects the wire harness and regulates the routing path of the wire harness. 【0003】 By the way, in such a protector, there are some in which the attachment direction to the attachment target is different for each attachment part. For example, in a protector attached so as to cover the center tunnel of a vehicle body, the attachment direction to the upper surface part of the center tunnel and the attachment direction to the side surface part are different for each attachment part (see Patent Document 1). 【0004】 In such a protector, there is a problem that the attachment positions do not match due to the mutual tolerances between the center tunnel and the protector, making the attachment work difficult. Also, there is a problem that a positional deviation occurs when a part of the protector is attached to the center tunnel, making the attachment work of other parts more difficult. Therefore, there has been a demand for a protector that facilitates the attachment work, and an attachment structure including the protector. 【Prior Art Documents】 【Patent Documents】 【0005】 【Patent Document 1】 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-98523 【Summary of the Invention】 【Problems to be Solved by the Invention】 【0006】 The purpose of this invention is to provide a mounting structure that can absorb the tolerances between the object to be mounted and the mounting structure, correct positional misalignment when a part of the mounting structure is attached to the object to be mounted, and ultimately facilitate the mounting work. [Means for solving the problem] 【0007】 This invention relates to a mounting structure to be attached to an object to be mounted, comprising a first mounting portion whose first mounting direction is the central axis of a stud bolt erected on the object to be mounted, and at least one second mounting portion whose second mounting direction is a direction intersecting the central axis of the stud bolt, wherein the first mounting portion has a pair of gripping pieces for gripping the stud bolt, and the bolt gripping portion formed by the pair of gripping pieces is configured to adjust the gripping position of the stud bolt along the second mounting direction. Furthermore, a bolt-engaging claw is provided that protrudes from at least one of the pair of gripping pieces toward the other opposing gripping piece and engages with the threaded portion of the stud bolt, and the length of the tip surface of the bolt-engaging claw in the first mounting direction is formed to be longer than the pitch length of the threaded portion of the stud bolt. It is characterized by the following. 【0008】 In this invention, the term "mounting structure" broadly includes not only protectors but also other components attached to the mounting target, such as junction boxes, connector holders, and terminal blocks. Furthermore, "along the second mounting direction" in this invention can be defined as the direction parallel to the second mounting direction when viewed from the first mounting direction along the central axis of the stud bolt. Alternatively, it can be defined as the direction approaching or moving away from the second mounting portion when viewed from a projection direction perpendicular to the central axis of the stud bolt. 【0009】 This invention allows for the absorption of tolerances between the object to be mounted and the mounting structure, corrects positional misalignment when a part of the mounting structure is attached to the object to be mounted, and ultimately facilitates the mounting process. More specifically, in the mounting structure according to the present invention, the bolt gripping portion, which is composed of a pair of gripping pieces, is configured to adjust the gripping position of the stud bolt along the second mounting direction. Therefore, even if the mounting position does not match due to tolerances between the object to be mounted and the mounting structure, the difference can be absorbed by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt by the bolt gripping portion, making it possible to easily mount the mounting structure. Furthermore, when attaching the first mounting portion to the stud bolt and then attaching the second mounting portion, the misalignment can be corrected by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt by the bolt gripping portion, making it possible to easily mount the mounting structure. Thus, tolerances between the object to be mounted and the mounting structure can be absorbed, misalignment when a part of the mounting structure is attached to the object to be mounted can be corrected, and consequently, the mounting work becomes easier. 【0010】 Also, Of the pair of gripping pieces, at least one gripping piece is provided with a bolt-engaging claw that protrudes toward the other opposing gripping piece and engages with the threaded portion of the stud bolt. The length of the tip surface of the bolt engaging claw in the first mounting direction is formed to be longer than the pitch length of the threaded portion of the stud bolt. . 【0011】 With this invention, in the first mounting direction, the bolt engaging claws fit into and catch on the threaded grooves of the stud bolt, thus preventing the mounting structure from being displaced in the first mounting direction. On the other hand, in the second mounting direction, the bolt engaging claws are movable along the threaded grooves of the stud bolt, and since the bolt engaging claws do not catch on the threaded grooves, it is possible to ensure that the mounting structure is not displaced in the second mounting direction. Therefore, even if the mounting positions do not match due to tolerances between the object to be mounted and the mounting structure, the difference can be absorbed by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt at the bolt gripping point. Furthermore, when attaching the first mounting part to the stud bolt and then attaching the second mounting part, the misalignment can be corrected by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt at the bolt gripping point. 【0012】 Furthermore, since the length of the tip surface of the bolt engaging claw in the first mounting direction is formed to be longer than the pitch length of the threaded portion of the stud bolt, it is possible to prevent the bolt engaging claw from completely engaging with the threaded portion of the stud bolt, thereby preventing damage or wear to the bolt engaging claw during attachment and detachment. 【0013】 In another aspect of this invention, both gripping pieces are provided with bolt engaging claws, and the other bolt engaging claw may be positioned in the first mounting direction at a distance of half the pitch length of the threaded portion relative to one of the bolt engaging claws. 【0014】 In this invention, the threads in the threaded portion of the stud bolt are drilled in a spiral shape and are advanced by half a pitch length with each half rotation. With respect to the first mounting direction, the bolt engaging claw of one bolt engaging claw is positioned at a distance of half the pitch length relative to the other bolt engaging claw, so that the two opposing bolt engaging claws simultaneously fit into and catch on a single thread. Therefore, displacement of the mounting structure in the first mounting direction can be reliably prevented. On the other hand, with respect to the second mounting direction, the bolt engaging claws are movable along the threads in the threaded portion of the stud bolt, and since these bolt engaging claws do not catch on the threads, displacement of the mounting structure in the second mounting direction can be ensured. Therefore, the crossover can be absorbed by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt by the bolt gripping point. Furthermore, positional misalignment can be corrected by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt by the bolt gripping point. 【0015】 In another aspect of this invention, a bolt guide claw may be provided that protrudes from the edge portion of at least one of the pair of gripping pieces toward the other opposing gripping piece, guiding the threaded portion of the stud bolt. 【0016】 This invention makes it possible to determine the approximate position of the mounting structure when attaching the first mounting portion to the stud bolt. Furthermore, it can restrict large displacement of the mounting structure when moving it in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the stud bolt. Therefore, when absorbing tolerances or correcting positional misalignment by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt at the bolt gripping point, it is possible to prevent damage to the mounting structure due to localized loads. 【0017】 Furthermore, in an embodiment of this invention, the invention may include a first structural part provided with the first mounting portion, a second structural part provided with the second mounting portion, and a connecting portion connecting the first structural part and the second structural part, wherein the connecting portion may be configured to be pivotable with a pivot axis in a direction intersecting the first mounting direction and the second mounting direction. 【0018】 This invention makes it possible to attach the first structural part to a predetermined surface portion of the object to be mounted, and then pivot the second structural part relative to the first structural part to attach the second structural part to another predetermined surface portion. For example, it is possible to attach the first structural part to the upper surface portion of the object to be mounted, and then pivot the second structural part relative to the first structural part to attach the second structural part to the side portion. 【0019】 In another aspect of this invention, a wall portion is provided that is connected to the gripping piece and surrounds at least a part of the stud bolt, and the wall portion may extend to a position beyond the tip portion of the stud bolt in the first mounting direction. 【0020】 This invention allows the stud bolts to be surrounded by the wall, preventing body parts from coming into contact with the tips of the stud bolts or clothing from getting caught during work after the mounting structure has been installed. Furthermore, since the stud bolts are not visible unless viewed from a direction along their central axis, it is possible to improve the aesthetics. 【0021】 In another aspect of this invention, the second mounting portion may be configured to allow adjustment of its mounting position in a direction intersecting the first mounting direction and the second mounting direction. This invention makes it possible to easily attach the mounting structure by absorbing the tolerances between the object to be attached and the mounting structure when attaching the second mounting part using the stud bolt as a reference. 【0022】 Another aspect of this invention is a protector for protecting a wire harness. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a protector that can absorb the mutual tolerances between the object to be attached and the protector, correct the positional deviation when a part of the protector is attached to the object to be attached, and thus facilitate the attachment work. 【Effect of the Invention】 【0023】 It is possible to provide an attachment structure that can absorb the mutual tolerances between the object to be attached and the attachment structure, correct the positional deviation when a part of the attachment structure is attached to the object to be attached, and thus facilitate the attachment work. 【Brief Description of the Drawings】 【0024】 [Figure 1] Perspective view of the protector in a state of being attached to the vehicle body.

Figure 13(a) shows the situation before the central mounting part 6 is attached to the stud bolt S erected on the upper surface of the center tunnel T, and Figure 13(b) shows the situation after attachment. In addition, Figure 14 is an explanatory diagram showing the situation in which the left and right parallelepiped parts 1L and 1R of the protector 1 are attached to the side surfaces of the center tunnel T. Figure 14(a) shows the situation before the left and right mounting parts 7 and 8 are attached to the fastener holes H drilled on the side surfaces of the center tunnel T, and Figure 14(b) shows the situation after attachment. 【0030】 As shown in Figure 1, the wire harness W is inserted through the protector 1. The protector 1 is then mounted to cover the center tunnel T, which is a raised portion of the vehicle body 100. In this way, the protector 1 protects the wire harness W and restricts the routing path of the wire harness W. 【0031】 As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the protector 1 has a structure in which three main body parts 2 are connected. Each main body part 2 is provided with a lid part 3, a connecting part 4 that pivotally connects the lid parts 3, and a locking part 5 that locks the lid part 3 in the closed position. The protector 1 is also provided with a central mounting part 6, a left side mounting part 7, and a right side mounting part 8. 【0032】 In this application, the central portion of the protector 1 in the left-right direction Y will be referred to as the central body portion 1C, the portion connected to the left side L of the central body portion 1C will be referred to as the left quadrilateral body portion 1L, and the portion connected to the right side R of the central body portion 1C will be referred to as the right quadrilateral body portion 1R. In the description of the central body portion 1C, the main body portion 2 will be referred to as the main body portion 2C, the lid portion 3 as the lid portion 3C, the connecting portion 4 as the connecting portion 4C, and the locking portion 5 as the locking portion 5C. In the description of the left quadrilateral body portion 1L, the main body portion 2 will be referred to as the main body portion 2L, the lid portion 3 as the lid portion 3L, the connecting portion 4 as the connecting portion 4L, and the locking portion 5 as the locking portion 5L. In the description of the right quadrilateral body portion 1R, the main body portion 2 will be referred to as the main body portion 2R, the lid portion 3 as the lid portion 3R, the connecting portion 4 as the connecting portion 4R, and the locking portion 5 as the locking portion 5R. 【0033】 First, the central body 1C of the protector 1 will be described using Figures 2 to 4. The central body 1C is mainly composed of a main body 2C and a cover 3C. The central body 1C is also provided with a central mounting section 6 that is attached to a stud bolt S (see Figure 1) erected on the upper surface of the center tunnel T. The central mounting section 6 will be described in detail later. 【0034】 The main body 2C has a bottom plate 21, a front plate 22, and a rear plate 23. The bottom plate 21 is a plate-shaped member parallel to the front-rear direction X and the left-right direction Y, and is widened towards the front F at the center of the left-right direction Y. The front plate 22 is formed to follow the front edge of the bottom plate 21, and the rear plate 23 is formed to follow the rear edge of the bottom plate 21. 【0035】 Furthermore, an opening 1a is formed in the central part of the central body 1C, opening towards the front side F. The bottom plate 21 and a portion of the front plate 22 extend from this opening 1a toward the front side F. This is done to secure the wire harness W passing through the opening 1a using tape (not shown). However, the wire harness W may also be secured using cable ties or the like. 【0036】 The lid portion 3C has an inner lid portion 31, a left lid portion 32, and a right lid portion 33. The inner lid portion 31 is a pivotally movable plate-shaped member connected to the upper end portion of the rear plate portion 23, and when the inner lid portion 31 is closed, its tip portion fits into the front plate portion 22. The left lid portion 32 is pivotally connected to the left end portion of the inner lid portion 31, and the right lid portion 33 is pivotally connected to the right end portion of the inner lid portion 31. 【0037】 The left lid 32 is shaped such that its tip, which pivots together with the middle lid 31, fits into the front plate 22, and its base end fits into the rear plate 23. Similarly, the right lid 33 is shaped such that its tip, which pivots together with the middle lid 31, fits into the front plate 22, and its base end fits into the rear plate 23. The middle lid 31 and the left lid 32 are connected by a connecting part 13, and the middle lid 31 and the right lid 33 are connected by a connecting part 14. 【0038】 The connecting portion 4C pivotally connects the lid portion 3C to the main body portion 2C. The connecting portion 4C is constructed by connecting a thin plate to a portion of the upper end portion of the rear plate portion 23 along the left-right direction Y and to a portion of the base end portion of the inner lid portion 31 along the left-right direction Y. This thin plate is formed to be thinner than the rear plate portion 23 and the inner lid portion 31, and is capable of bending and extending (flexing or stretching) in the rotational direction with a virtual upper axis along the left-right direction Y as the axis of rotation. This configuration makes the inner lid portion 31 pivotally movable relative to the rear plate portion 23 (see Figure 11(a)). 【0039】 The connecting portion 13 that connects the inner lid portion 31 and the left lid portion 32, and the connecting portion 14 that connects the inner lid portion 31 and the right lid portion 33, have a similar configuration. In other words, the connecting portion 13 is formed with a thinner plate thickness than the inner lid portion 31 and the left lid portion 32, allowing it to bend or extend in the rotational direction with a virtual upper axis along the front-rear direction X as the axis of rotation. Similarly, the connecting portion 14 is also formed with a thinner plate thickness than the inner lid portion 31 and the right lid portion 33, allowing it to bend or extend in the rotational direction with a virtual upper axis along the front-rear direction X as the axis of rotation. With this configuration, the left lid portion 32 and the right lid portion 33 can pivot relative to the inner lid portion 31 (see Figure 11(b)). 【0040】 The locking portion 5C locks the lid portion 3C to the main body portion 2C when the lid portion 3C is closed. The locking portion 5C is composed of a locking piece 51 (see Figure 2) provided along the tip portion of the inner lid portion 31 and a locking ring 52 (see Figure 2) provided along the upper end portion of the front plate portion 22. The locking piece 51 is provided perpendicular to the inner lid portion 31 and has a locking claw formed on it. The locking ring 52 refers to a rectangular tube portion connected to the front plate portion 22 and has a locking plate that extends parallel to the front plate portion 22. With this configuration, when the inner lid portion 31 is closed, the locking piece 51 is inserted into the locking ring 52 and the locking claw of the locking piece 51 catches on the locking plate of the locking ring 52. 【0041】 The locking parts 5C that secure the left lid 32 when closed and the locking parts 5C that secure the right lid 33 when closed have the same configuration. In other words, the locking part 5C that secures the left lid 32 when closed consists of a locking piece 51 (see Figure 2) provided on the left lid 32 and a locking ring 52 (see Figure 2) provided on the front plate 22 and the rear plate 23. Similarly, the locking part 5C that secures the right lid 33 when closed consists of a locking piece 51 (see Figure 2) provided on the right lid 33 and a locking ring 52 (see Figure 2) provided on the front plate 22 and the rear plate 23. With this configuration, when the left lid 32 and the right lid 33 are closed, the locking piece 51 is inserted into the locking ring 52, and the locking claw of the locking piece 51 catches on the locking plate of the locking ring 52. 【0042】 Next, the left side section 1L of the protector 1 will be described using Figures 2 to 4. The left side section 1L is also mainly composed of a main body section 2L and a lid section 3L. The left side section 1L is also provided with a left-side mounting section 7 that is attached to a fastener hole H (see Figures 13 and 14) drilled in the side portion of the center tunnel T. The left-side mounting section 7 will be described in detail later. 【0043】 The main body 2L has a bottom plate 24, a front plate 25, and a rear plate 26. The bottom plate 24, in its state before being attached to the center tunnel T, is a plate-shaped member parallel to the front-rear direction X and the left-right direction Y, and extends diagonally from the portion adjacent to the protector connecting portion 11 that connects the central body 1C and the left quadrilateral body 1L toward the left rear. The front plate 25 is formed to follow the front edge of the bottom plate 24, and the rear plate 26 is formed to follow the rear edge of the bottom plate 24. 【0044】 Furthermore, an opening 1b is formed at the end of the left side L of the left quadrat 1L, opening diagonally to the rear left. The bottom plate 24 and a portion of the front plate 25 extend from this opening 1b diagonally to the rear left. This is done to secure the wire harness W passing through the opening 1b using tape (not shown). However, the wire harness W may also be secured using cable ties or the like. 【0045】 The lid portion 3L has a left lid portion 34 and a left end lid portion 35. The left lid portion 34 is a pivotally movable plate-shaped member connected to the upper end portion of the front plate portion 25, and when the left lid portion 34 is closed, its tip portion fits into the rear plate portion 26. The left end lid portion 35 is pivotally connected to the left end portion of the left lid portion 34. 【0046】 The left end cover 35 is shaped such that its tip, which pivots together with the left side cover 34, fits into the rear plate 26, and its base end fits into the front plate 25. The left side cover 34 and the left end cover 35 are connected by a connecting part 15. 【0047】 The connecting portion 4L pivotally connects the lid portion 3L to the main body portion 2L. The connecting portion 4L is constructed by connecting a thin plate to a portion of the upper end portion of the front plate portion 25 that is aligned in the left-right direction Y and a portion of the base end portion of the left lid portion 34 that is aligned in the left-right direction Y. This thin plate is formed to be thinner than the front plate portion 25 and the left lid portion 34, and is capable of bending and extending (flexing or stretching) in the rotational direction with a virtual upper axis aligned in the left-right direction Y as the axis of rotation. This configuration makes the left lid portion 34 pivotally movable relative to the front plate portion 25 (see Figure 12(a)). 【0048】 The connecting portion 15 that connects the left cover portion 34 and the left end cover portion 35 has a similar configuration. In other words, the connecting portion 15 is formed with a thinner plate thickness than the left cover portion 34 and the left end cover portion 35, and is capable of bending and extending (flexing or stretching) in the rotational direction with a virtual upper axis along a predetermined direction as the axis of rotation. This configuration makes it possible to pivot the left end cover portion 35 relative to the left cover portion 34 (see Figure 12(b)). 【0049】 The locking portion 5L locks the lid portion 3L to the main body portion 2L when the lid portion 3L is closed. The locking portion 5L is composed of a locking piece 51 (see Figure 2) provided along the tip portion of the left lid portion 34 and a locking ring 52 (see Figure 2) provided along the upper end portion of the rear plate portion 26. The locking piece 51 is provided perpendicular to the left lid portion 34 and has a locking claw formed on it. The locking ring 52 refers to a rectangular tube portion connected to the rear plate portion 26 and has a locking plate that extends parallel to the rear plate portion 26. With this configuration, when the left lid portion 34 is closed, the locking piece 51 is inserted into the locking ring 52 and the locking claw of the locking piece 51 catches on the locking plate of the locking ring 52. 【0050】 The locking part 5L that secures the left end cover 35 when it is closed has a similar configuration. In other words, the locking part 5L that secures the left end cover 35 when it is closed is composed of a locking piece 51 (see Figure 2) provided on the left end cover 35 and a locking ring 52 (see Figure 2) provided on the front plate 25 and the rear plate 26. With this configuration, when the left end cover 35 is closed, the locking piece 51 is inserted into the locking ring 52, and the locking claw of the locking piece 51 catches on the locking plate of the locking ring 52. 【0051】 As mentioned above, the central body portion 1C and the left quadrilateral body portion 1L of the protector 1 are connected by a protector connecting portion 11. The protector connecting portion 11 is constructed by connecting a thin plate to a portion of the left end portion of the base plate portion 21 that is aligned in the front-rear direction X and a portion of the right end portion of the base plate portion 24 that is aligned in the front-rear direction X. This thin plate is formed to be thinner than the base plate portion 21 and the base plate portion 24, and is made possible to bend and extend (flex or stretch) in the rotational direction with a virtual upper axis aligned in the front-rear direction X as the axis of rotation. This configuration makes it possible to pivot the left quadrilateral body portion 1L relative to the central body portion 1C (see Figure 14(b)). 【0052】 Next, the right side section 1R of the protector 1 will be described using Figures 2 to 4. The right side section 1R is also mainly composed of a main body section 2R and a lid section 3R. The right side section 1R is also provided with a right-side attachment section 8 that is attached to a fastener hole H (see Figures 13 and 14) drilled in the side portion of the center tunnel T. The right-side attachment section 8 will be described in detail later. 【0053】 The main body portion 2R has a bottom plate portion 27, a front plate portion 28, and a rear plate portion 29. The bottom plate portion 27, in its state before being attached to the center tunnel T, is a plate-shaped member parallel to the front-rear direction X and the left-right direction Y, and extends diagonally toward the right rear from the portion close to the protector connecting portion 12 that connects the central body portion 1C and the right quadrant portion 1R. The front plate portion 28 is formed to follow the front edge of the bottom plate portion 27, and the rear plate portion 29 is formed to follow the rear edge of the bottom plate portion 27. 【0054】 Furthermore, an opening 1c is formed at the end of the right side R of the right parallelepiped 1R, opening diagonally to the rear right. The bottom plate 27 and a portion of the front plate 28 extend from this opening 1c diagonally to the rear right. This is done to secure the wire harness W passing through the opening 1c using tape (not shown). However, the wire harness W may also be secured using cable ties or the like. 【0055】 The lid portion 3R has a right lid portion 36 and a right end lid portion 37. The right lid portion 36 is a pivotally movable plate-shaped member connected to the upper end portion of the front plate portion 28, and when the right lid portion 36 is closed, its tip portion fits into the rear plate portion 29. The right end lid portion 37 is pivotally connected to the right end portion of the right lid portion 36. 【0056】 The right end cover 37 is shaped such that its tip, which pivots together with the right side cover 36, fits into the rear plate 29, and its base end fits into the front plate 28. The right side cover 36 and the right end cover 37 are connected by a connecting part 16. 【0057】 The connecting portion 4R pivotally connects the lid portion 3R to the main body portion 2R. The connecting portion 4R is constructed by connecting a thin plate to a portion of the upper end portion of the front plate portion 28 along the left-right direction Y and to a portion of the base portion of the right lid portion 36 along the left-right direction Y. This thin plate is formed to be thinner than the thickness of the front plate portion 28 and the right lid portion 36, and is made possible to bend and extend (flex or extend) in the rotational direction with a virtual upper axis along the left-right direction Y as the axis of rotation. With this configuration, the right lid portion 36 is pivotally movable relative to the front plate portion 28 (see Figure 12(a)). 【0058】 The connecting portion 16 that connects the right cover portion 36 and the right end cover portion 37 has a similar configuration. In other words, the connecting portion 16 is formed with a thinner plate thickness than the right cover portion 36 and the right end cover portion 37, and is capable of bending and extending (flexing or stretching) in the rotational direction with a virtual upper axis along a predetermined direction as the axis of rotation. This configuration makes it possible to pivot the right end cover portion 37 relative to the right cover portion 36 (see Figure 12(b)). 【0059】 The locking portion 5R locks the lid portion 3 to the main body portion 2R when it is closed. The locking portion 5R is composed of a locking piece 51 (see Figure 2) provided along the tip portion of the right lid portion 36 and a locking ring 52 (see Figure 2) provided along the upper end portion of the rear plate portion 29. The locking piece 51 is provided perpendicular to the right lid portion 36 and has a locking claw formed on it. The locking ring 52 refers to a rectangular tube portion connected to the rear plate portion 29 and has a locking plate that extends parallel to the rear plate portion 29. With this configuration, when the right lid portion 36 is closed, the locking piece 51 is inserted into the locking ring 52 and the locking claw of the locking piece 51 catches on the locking plate of the locking ring 52. 【0060】 The locking portion 5R that secures the right end cover portion 37 when it is closed has a similar configuration. In other words, the locking portion 5R that secures the right end cover portion 37 when it is closed is composed of a locking piece 51 (see Figure 2) provided on the right end cover portion 37 and a locking ring 52 (see Figure 2) provided on the front plate portion 28 and the rear plate portion 29. With this configuration, when the right end cover portion 37 is closed, the locking piece 51 is inserted into the locking ring 52, and the locking claw of the locking piece 51 catches on the locking plate of the locking ring 52. 【0061】 As mentioned above, the central body portion 1C and the right quadrilateral body portion 1R of the protector 1 are connected by a protector connecting portion 12. The protector connecting portion 12 is constructed by connecting a thin plate between a portion of the right end of the bottom plate portion 21 along the front-rear direction X and a portion of the left end of the bottom plate portion 27 along the front-rear direction X. This thin plate is formed to be thinner than the bottom plate portion 21 and the bottom plate portion 27, and is capable of bending and extending (flexing or stretching) in the rotational direction with a virtual upper axis along the front-rear direction X as the axis of rotation. This configuration allows the right quadrilateral body portion 1R to pivot relative to the central body portion 1C (see Figure 14(b)). 【0062】 Next, the central mounting portion 6 will be described using Figures 5 to 7. The central mounting portion 6 is located slightly to the left L of the central part Y in the left-right direction of the central body portion 1C of the protector 1. The central mounting portion 6 extends forward F from the front plate portion 22 that constitutes the central body portion 1C, and a gripping structure 60 for gripping the stud bolt S is provided at its front end. 【0063】 The gripping structure 60 consists of a rectangular tube portion 61 and a pair of gripping pieces 62 and 63 provided inside the rectangular tube portion 61. The rectangular tube portion 61 has a front wall portion 611 positioned perpendicular to the arm portion extending from the front plate portion 22, and a rear wall portion 612 positioned parallel to the front wall portion 611 at a predetermined distance. The rectangular tube portion 61 also has a left wall portion 613 and a right wall portion 614 connecting these wall portions 611 and 612. 【0064】 The gripping piece 62 is connected to the front wall portion 611. In other words, it is integrally formed with the front wall portion 611. The gripping piece 62 extends from a position D slightly below the inner surface of the front wall portion 611 toward the rear and diagonally upward, and its tip is bent toward the upward U. Therefore, a gripping surface 62s facing the rear wall portion 612 is formed at the tip of the gripping piece 62. In addition, a bolt engaging claw 621 and a pair of bolt guide claws 622, 623 are provided at the tip of the gripping piece 62. 【0065】 The bolt engagement claw 621 is formed to have a predetermined length (length La in the front-rear direction X) from the gripping surface 62s. Furthermore, the length of the tip surface 62t of the bolt engagement claw 621 in the width direction (length Lb in the left-right direction Y) is formed to be longer than the diameter Sd of the stud bolt S, and the length of the tip surface 62t in the height direction (length Lc in the up-down direction Z) is formed to be longer than the pitch length Sp of the stud bolt S. The reason why the length Lc in the up-down direction Z of the tip surface 62t is made longer than the pitch length Sp is to prevent the bolt engagement claw 621 from completely engaging with the screw groove of the stud bolt S, and to prevent the bolt engagement claw 621 from being damaged or worn when attaching or detaching the protector 1. 【0066】 The bolt guide claw 622 is provided on the left edge L of the gripping surface 62s. On the other hand, the bolt guide claw 623 is provided on the right edge R of the gripping surface 62s. These bolt guide claws 622 and 623 are symmetrical with respect to each other and are formed to a predetermined length (length Ld in the front-rear direction X) from the gripping surface 62s. Specifically, they are formed to be longer than the length La of the bolt engagement claw 621 (length La in the front-rear direction X) and shorter than half the value (radius) of the diameter Sd of the stud bolt S. Furthermore, the inner surfaces of these bolt guide claws 622 and 623 are curved in an arc shape when viewed from above U, and the gripping surface 62s and these inner surfaces are smoothly connected without any steps. 【0067】 The gripping piece 63 is connected to the rear wall portion 612. In other words, it is integrally formed with the rear wall portion 612. The gripping piece 63 extends from a position slightly below D on the inner surface of the front wall portion 612 toward the front and diagonally upward, and its tip is bent toward the upward U. Therefore, a gripping surface 63s facing the front wall portion 611 is formed at the tip of the gripping piece 63. In addition, a bolt engaging claw 631 and a pair of bolt guide claws 632 and 633 are provided at the tip of the gripping piece 63. 【0068】 The bolt engagement claw 631 is formed to have a predetermined length (length La in the front-rear direction X) from the gripping surface 63s. Furthermore, the length of the tip surface 63t of the bolt engagement claw 631 in the width direction (length Lb in the left-right direction Y) is longer than the diameter Sd of the stud bolt S, and the length of the tip surface 63t in the height direction (length Lc in the up-down direction Z) is longer than the pitch length Sp of the stud bolt S. The reason why the length Lc in the up-down direction Z of the tip surface 63t is made longer than the pitch length Sp is to prevent the bolt engagement claw 631 from completely engaging with the screw groove of the stud bolt S, and to prevent the bolt engagement claw 631 from being damaged or worn when attaching or detaching the protector 1. 【0069】 The bolt guide claw 632 is provided on the left edge L of the gripping surface 63s. On the other hand, the bolt guide claw 633 is provided on the right edge R of the gripping surface 63s. These bolt guide claws 632 and 633 are symmetrical with respect to each other and are formed to a predetermined length (length Ld in the front-rear direction X) from the gripping surface 63s. Specifically, they are formed to be longer than the length La of the bolt engagement claw 631 (length La in the front-rear direction X) and shorter than half the value (radius) of the diameter Sd of the stud bolt S. Furthermore, the inner surfaces of these bolt guide claws 632 and 633 are curved in an arc shape when viewed from above U, and the gripping surface 63s and these inner surfaces are smoothly connected without any steps. 【0070】 Thus, the central mounting portion 6 is configured as a bolt gripping area 6G by a pair of gripping pieces 62 and 63. In other words, the bolt gripping area 6G is configured to sandwich the stud bolt S between the pair of gripping pieces 62 and 63. Since the bolt gripping area 6G is elongated in the left-right direction Y, it is possible to shift the gripping position of the stud bolt S left or right. In addition, bolt guide claws 622 and 632 are provided on the left edge L of the bolt gripping area 6G, and bolt guide claws 623 and 633 are provided on the right edge R of the bolt gripping area 6G. The bolt gripping area 6G has a roughly oval shape when viewed from above U because the bolt guide claws 622 and 632 on the left L are close to each other, and the bolt guide claws 623 and 633 on the right R are also close to each other. 【0071】 In addition, although the gripping piece 62 has a shape symmetrical to the gripping piece 63 in the front-rear direction X, it is positioned at a location displaced downward D by half the pitch length Sp of the stud bolt S compared to the gripping piece 63. In other words, although the gripping piece 63 has a shape symmetrical to the gripping piece 62 in the front-rear direction X, it is positioned at a location displaced upward U by half the pitch length Sp of the stud bolt S compared to the gripping piece 62. As a result, the bolt engaging claw 621 of the gripping piece 62 and the bolt engaging claw 631 of the gripping piece 63 simultaneously engage with the spirally formed screw groove in the threaded portion of the stud bolt S. At this time, each gripping piece 62, 63 deforms to open slightly upward U by gripping the stud bolt S, so that the lower edge of the tip surface 62t of the bolt engaging claw 621 and the lower edge of the tip surface 63t of the bolt engaging claw 631 simultaneously engage. Furthermore, since the gripping pieces 62 and 63 have symmetrical shapes in the front-rear direction X, they can grip the stud bolt S with equal force, and the protector 1 does not tilt. 【0072】 Next, the left mounting portion 7 and the right mounting portion 8 will be described using Figures 8 to 10. Since the left mounting portion 7 and the right mounting portion 8 are symmetrical to each other, the left mounting portion 7 will be described mainly, and the right mounting portion 8 will be described as necessary. The left mounting portion 7 extends from the rear plate portion 26 that constitutes the left quadrilateral portion 1L of the protector 1 toward the rear side B, and the fastener 90 is attached to the mounting structure 70 provided at its rear end. 【0073】 The mounting structure 70 consists of a rectangular tube portion 71 and a pair of support pieces 72 and 73 provided inside the rectangular tube portion 71. The rectangular tube portion 71 has a front wall portion 711 positioned perpendicular to the arm portion extending from the rear plate portion 26, and a rear wall portion 712 positioned parallel to the front wall portion 711 at a predetermined distance. The rectangular tube portion 71 also has a left wall portion 713 and a right wall portion 714 connecting these wall portions 711 and 712. 【0074】 The support piece 72 is connected to the front wall portion 711 and the right wall portion 714. In other words, it is integrally formed with the front wall portion 711 and the right wall portion 714. The support piece 72 extends perpendicularly from the lower end portion on the inner surface of these wall portions 711 and 714, and the rear end portion, which is formed parallel to the front wall portion 711, is bent upward toward the upper side U. Therefore, a restricting surface 72s is formed at the rear end portion of the support piece 72, facing the rear wall portion 712. This restricting surface 72s is parallel to the restricting surface 73s, which will be described later, at a predetermined distance. 【0075】 The support piece 73 is connected to the rear wall portion 712 and the right wall portion 714. In other words, it is integrally formed with the rear wall portion 712 and the right wall portion 714. The support piece 73 extends perpendicularly from the lower end portion on the inner surface of these wall portions 712 and 714, and the front end portion, which is formed parallel to the rear wall portion 712, is bent upward toward the upper side U. Therefore, a restricting surface 73s is formed at the front end portion of the support piece 73, facing the front wall portion 711. This restricting surface 73s is parallel to the aforementioned restricting surface 72s at a predetermined distance. 【0076】 The fastener 90 consists of a base portion 91, a clip portion 92 provided on the upper side U of the base portion 91, and an anchor portion 93 provided on the lower side D of the base portion 91. The base portion 91 is a plate-shaped member parallel to the front-rear direction X and the left-right direction Y, and has a veneer portion 911 extending linearly from the right end to the left end on its upper surface. Therefore, when the fastener 90 is attached to the mounting structure 70, the base portion 91 is pushed along the upper surfaces of the support pieces 72 and 73, and the veneer portion 911 is fitted between the respective support pieces 72 and 73. 【0077】 The clip portion 92 is connected to the base portion 91. In other words, it is integrally formed with the base portion 91. The clip portion 92 extends from the right end to the left end of the base portion 91 so as to cover the base portion 91, and has a locking claw portion 921 between two slits 92s formed from the middle to the tip. The locking claw portion 921 is inclined in a direction that gradually moves away from the base portion 91, and furthermore, it has a shape that gradually increases in thickness. Therefore, when the base portion 91 is pushed along the upper surfaces of the support pieces 72 and 73 in order to attach the fastener 90 to the mounting structure 70, the locking claw portion 921 will catch on the inner surface of the left wall portion 713. 【0078】 The anchor portion 93 is also connected to the base portion 91. In other words, it is integrally formed with the base portion 91. The anchor portion 93 is erected perpendicular to the base portion 91 and has an insertion shaft portion 931 that is inserted into the fastener hole H (see Figure 14) of the center tunnel T. The tip of the insertion shaft portion 931 is provided with a locking claw portion 932 that is roughly wedge-shaped, and the base of the insertion shaft portion 931 is provided with a support plate portion 933 that is roughly disc-shaped. The locking claw portion 932 catches on the back surface of the center tunnel T, preventing the insertion shaft portion 931 from coming out. The support plate portion 933 abuts against the surface of the center tunnel T and exerts a biasing force, preventing the insertion shaft portion 931 from tilting. 【0079】 Thus, the left mounting portion 7 has a rectangular tube portion 71 surrounding the stud bolt S, and each wall portion 711 to 714 constituting the rectangular tube portion 71 extends to a position beyond the tip of the stud bolt S. The same applies to the right mounting portion 8. That is, the right mounting portion 8 also has a rectangular tube portion surrounding the stud bolt S, and each wall portion constituting the rectangular tube portion extends to a position beyond the tip of the stud bolt S. 【0080】 In addition, the left-side mounting portion 7 has a pair of support pieces 72 and 73, to which the fastener 90 is attached. The fastener 90 is made capable of slight displacement in the front-rear direction X. That is, the fastener 90 is made capable of displacement in the front-rear direction X from a position where the aforementioned veneer portion 911 abuts against the restricting surface 72s formed on the support piece 72 to a position where it abuts against the restricting surface 73s formed on the support piece 73. The same applies to the right-side mounting portion 8. That is, the right-side mounting portion 8 also has a pair of support pieces to which the fastener is attached. The fastener is made capable of slight displacement in the front-rear direction X. 【0081】 Next, the procedure for housing the wire harness W in the protector 1 will be explained using Figures 11 and 12. Figures 11 and 12 are denoted by arrows M1 to M4 that represent the movement of each cover 3. 【0082】 First, as shown in Figure 11(a), close the inner cover 31 (see arrow M1). Closing the inner cover 31 first allows the wire harness W passing through the opening 1a to be held in place. Then, as shown in Figure 11(b), close the left cover 32 and the right cover 33 (see arrow M2). When closing these covers 32 and 33, the wire harness W extending from the inner cover 31 is appropriately stretched and guided to prevent it from becoming tangled or stretched. 【0083】 Next, as shown in Figure 12(a), the left cover 34 and the right cover 36 are closed (see arrow M3). This is done to hold the wire harness W extending from the central body 1C of the protector 1. Then, as shown in Figure 12(b), the left end cover 35 and the right end cover 37 are closed (see arrow M4). When closing these covers 35 and 37, the wire harness W extending from the left cover 34 and the wire harness W extending from the right cover 36 are appropriately extended and guided to prevent the wire harness W from becoming entangled or stretched. 【0084】 Next, the procedure for attaching the protector 1 to the center tunnel T will be explained using Figures 13 and 14. Figures 13 and 14 are marked with arrows M5 and M6, which represent the movement of the protector 1 and the left and right parallelepiped sections 1L and 1R of the protector 1. 【0085】 First, as shown in Figures 13(a) and 13(b), the protector 1 is attached to the stud bolt S erected in the center tunnel T (see arrow M5). More specifically, the central body 1C of the protector 1 is attached to the stud bolt S erected on the upper surface of the center tunnel T. At this time, the stud bolt S can be gripped by fitting the pair of gripping pieces 62 and 63 of the central mounting part 6 together from the same direction as the central axis Sc of the stud bolt S, which is the mounting direction D1 (see Figure 7). The central axis Sc of the stud bolt S is along the vertical direction Z. 【0086】 Subsequently, as shown in Figures 14(a) and 14(b), the protector 1 is attached to the fastener holes H drilled in the center tunnel T (see arrow M6). More specifically, the left quadrilateral part 1L is pivoted relative to the central part 1C of the protector 1, and the left quadrilateral part 1L is attached to the fastener hole H drilled on the left side of the center tunnel T. The right quadrilateral part 1R is pivoted relative to the central part 1C of the protector 1, and the right quadrilateral part 1R is attached to the fastener hole H drilled on the right side of the center tunnel T. At this time, the fastener 90 can be attached to each fastener hole H by fitting it in from the same direction as the fastener hole H, which is the direction through which the fastener hole H passes, which is the direction intersecting the central axis Sc of the stud bolt S, as the mounting direction D2. The direction through which the fastener hole H passes is the left-right direction Y when viewed from the direction along the central axis Sc of the stud bolt S (up-down direction Z). 【0087】 As described above, the protector 1 according to this embodiment is attached to the center tunnel T and includes a central mounting portion 6 with the central axis Sc of the stud bolt S erected in the center tunnel T as the mounting direction D1, and a left side mounting portion 7 and a right side mounting portion 8 with the mounting direction D2 being a direction intersecting the central axis Sc of the stud bolt S. The central mounting portion 6 has a pair of gripping pieces 62, 63 for gripping the stud bolt S, and the bolt gripping portion 6G formed by the pair of gripping pieces 62, 63 is configured to allow adjustment of the gripping position of the stud bolt S along the mounting direction D2. In other words, the gripping position of the stud bolt S is configured to be adjustable in the left-right direction Y which is parallel to the mounting direction D2 when viewed from the mounting direction D1 along the central axis Sc of the stud bolt S. Alternatively, the gripping position of the stud bolt S is configured to be adjustable in the left-right direction Y which is closer to or further away from the left side mounting portion 7 and the right side mounting portion 8 when viewed from the front-rear direction X which is perpendicular to the central axis Sc of the stud bolt S. 【0088】 With this type of protector 1, the tolerances between the center tunnel T and the protector 1 can be absorbed, positional misalignment when a part of the protector 1 is attached to the center tunnel T can be corrected, and consequently the installation work becomes easier. More specifically, in the protector 1 according to the present invention, the bolt gripping portion 6G, which is composed of a pair of gripping pieces 62 and 63, is configured to adjust the gripping position of the stud bolt S along the mounting direction D2. Therefore, even if the mounting position does not match due to the tolerance between the center tunnel T and the protector 1, the difference can be absorbed by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt S by the bolt gripping portion 6G, making it easy to install the protector 1. Furthermore, when attaching the central mounting portion 6 to the stud bolt S, and then attaching the left mounting portion 7 and the right mounting portion 8, the misalignment can be corrected by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt S by the bolt gripping portion 6G, making it easy to install the protector 1. Thus, the tolerance between the center tunnel T and the protector 1 can be absorbed, the misalignment when a part of the protector 1 is attached to the center tunnel T can be corrected, and the installation work becomes easier. 【0089】 Furthermore, in the protector 1 according to this embodiment, bolt engaging claws 621 and 631 are provided that protrude from one gripping piece 62 (63) toward the other opposing gripping piece 63 (62) and engage with the threaded portion of the stud bolt S. 【0090】 With this protector 1, in the mounting direction D1, the bolt engaging claws 621 and 631 fit into and catch on the threaded grooves of the threaded portion of the stud bolt S, thus preventing the protector 1 from being displaced in the mounting direction D1. On the other hand, in the mounting direction D2, the bolt engaging claws 621 and 631 are movable along the threaded grooves of the threaded portion of the stud bolt S, and the bolt engaging claws 621 and 631 do not catch on the threaded grooves, thus ensuring that the protector 1 is not displaced in the mounting direction D2. Therefore, even if the mounting positions do not match due to tolerances between the center tunnel T and the protector 1, the difference can be absorbed by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt S by the bolt gripping point 6G. Furthermore, when attaching the central mounting part 6 to the stud bolt S, and then attaching the left side mounting part 7 and the right side mounting part 8, the misalignment can be corrected by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt S by the bolt gripping point 6G. 【0091】 Furthermore, in the protector 1 according to this embodiment, the other bolt engaging claw 631 (621) is provided at a position displaced by half the pitch length Sp of the threaded portion in the mounting direction D1 relative to one bolt engaging claw 621 (631). 【0092】 With this protector 1, the screw groove in the threaded portion of the stud bolt S is drilled in a spiral shape and is advanced by half a pitch length with each half rotation. With respect to the mounting direction D1, the bolt engaging claw 621 (631) is positioned at a distance of half the pitch length Sp relative to one bolt engaging claw 621 (631), so that the two opposing bolt engaging claws 621, 631 simultaneously engage and catch on a single screw groove. Therefore, the protector 1 can be reliably prevented from being displaced in the mounting direction D1. On the other hand, with respect to the mounting direction D2, the bolt engaging claws 621, 631 are movable along the screw groove in the threaded portion of the stud bolt S, and since these bolt engaging claws 621, 631 do not catch on the screw groove, the protector 1 can be prevented from being displaced in the mounting direction D2. Therefore, the intersection can be absorbed by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt S by the bolt gripping point 6G. Furthermore, positional misalignment can be corrected by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt S by the bolt gripping point 6G. 【0093】 Furthermore, in the protector 1 according to this embodiment, bolt guide claws 622, 623, 632, and 633 are provided that protrude from the edge portion of one gripping piece 62(63) toward the other opposing gripping piece 63(62) to guide the threaded portion of the stud bolt S. 【0094】 With this type of protector 1, it becomes possible to determine the approximate position of the protector 1 when attaching the central mounting portion 6 to the stud bolt S. Furthermore, when moving the protector 1 in a direction perpendicular to the central axis Sc of the stud bolt S, it is possible to restrict large displacement of the protector 1. Therefore, when absorbing tolerances or correcting positional misalignment by shifting the gripping position of the stud bolt S by the bolt gripping portion 6G, it is possible to prevent localized loads from acting on the protector 1 and causing damage. 【0095】 Furthermore, the protector 1 according to this embodiment includes a central body 1C on which a central mounting portion 6 is provided, a left parallel body 1L on which a left side mounting portion 7 is provided, a right parallel body 1R on which a right side mounting portion 8 is provided, a protector connecting portion 11 connecting the central body 1C and the left parallel body 1L, and a protector connecting portion 12 connecting the central body 1C and the right parallel body 1R. The protector connecting portions 11 and 12 are configured to be pivotable with a pivot axis in a direction intersecting the mounting direction D1 and the mounting direction D2. 【0096】 With this protector 1, after attaching the central body 1C to the upper surface of the center tunnel T, the left side mounting part 7 can be attached to the side surface of the center tunnel T by pivoting the left side mounting part 1L relative to the central body 1C. Similarly, after attaching the central body 1C to the upper surface of the center tunnel T, the right side mounting part 8 can be attached to the side surface of the center tunnel T by pivoting the right side mounting part 1R relative to the central body 1C. 【0097】 Furthermore, in the protector 1 according to this embodiment, a wall portion (front wall portion 611, rear wall portion 612, left wall portion 613, right wall portion 614) is provided which is connected to the gripping pieces 62, 63 and surrounds at least a part of the stud bolt S, and the wall portion (front wall portion 611, rear wall portion 612, left wall portion 613, right wall portion 614) extends to a position beyond the tip portion of the stud bolt S in the mounting direction D1. 【0098】 With this protector 1, the stud bolt S can be surrounded by the wall sections (front wall section 611, rear wall section 612, left wall section 613, right wall section 614), making it possible to prevent parts of the body from coming into contact with the tip of the stud bolt S or parts of clothing from getting caught on it during work after the protector 1 has been installed. In addition, the stud bolt S is not visible unless one looks at it from a direction along the central axis Sc of the stud bolt S, so it is also possible to improve the aesthetics. 【0099】 Furthermore, in the protector 1 according to this embodiment, the left mounting portion 7 and the right mounting portion 8 are configured to be adjustable in mounting positions in directions intersecting the mounting directions D1 and D2. With this type of protector 1, when attaching the left mounting portion 7 and the right mounting portion 8 with respect to the stud bolt S, the tolerances between the center tunnel T and the protector 1 are absorbed, making it possible to easily attach the protector 1. 【0100】 In the correspondence between the structure of this invention and the embodiments described above, The mounting structure corresponds to protector 1, The connecting part corresponds to the protector connecting part 11.

Of course, the object to be attached does not have to be the center tunnel T. Furthermore, the protector 1 has a central body portion 1C in the center of the left-right direction Y, with a left quadrilateral body portion 1L and a right quadrilateral body portion 1R on either side thereof, but it may also be configured with only one of the left quadrilateral body portion 1L or the right quadrilateral body portion 1R.
