Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a harness fixture that holds a wire harness and can be fixed to an object to be fixed.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, a harness fixture that holds a wire harness and can be fixed to an object to be fixed is known (see Patent Document 1). Such a harness fixture is provided with a holding portion that holds the wire harness and a fixing portion that can be fixed to the object to be fixed.

[0003] By the way, in automobiles and the like, the number of wire harnesses varies depending on specification differences. Therefore, it is conceivable to change the harness fixture according to the number of wire harnesses. However, preparing a plurality of harness fixtures in advance leads to an increase in the number of parts and complicates management.

[0004] Therefore, it is conceivable to set the harness fixture according to a specification with a large number of wire harnesses and use the same harness fixture regardless of the number of wire harnesses. However, a harness fixture set according to a specification with a large number of wire harnesses is useless in a specification with a small number of wire harnesses, and there is also a problem that it hinders wiring work and the like.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a harness fixture capable of changing the number of held wire harnesses. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention relates to a harness fastener capable of holding and fixing to an object, a plurality of wire harnesses arranged side by side in a longitudinal direction intersecting each other, comprising a plurality of fastener bodies provided with a holding portion for holding the wire harnesses, wherein each fastener body comprises a basic fastener body provided with a fixing portion that can be fixed to the object in addition to the holding portion and a one-sided locking portion used for connecting to an adjacent fastener body, and an additional fastener body provided with a one-sided locking portion that can be locked to the one-sided locking portion of an adjacent fastener body in addition to the holding portion, and the fastener bodies are connected to each other by a locking connection portion composed of the one-sided locking portion and the other-sided locking portion. The basic fastener body is provided with a one-sided engaging portion used for connecting with an adjacent fastener body, the additional fastener body is provided with a other-sided engaging portion that can engage with the one-sided engaging portion of the adjacent fastener body, and the fastener bodies are connected to each other by an engaging connection portion composed of the one-sided engaging portion and the other-sided engaging portion, the fastener body has a receiving portion for housing the wire harness and a lid portion for closing the opening of the receiving portion, the one-sided engaging portion is provided on the lid portion of one adjacent fastener body, and the other-sided engaging portion is provided on the receiving portion or the lid portion of the other adjacent fastener body. It is characterized by the following.

[0008] According to this invention, the number of wires held in the wire harness can be changed. More specifically, the harness fastener according to the present invention can hold multiple wire harnesses arranged side-by-side in a longitudinal direction and fix them to an object, and has multiple fastener bodies, each having a holding portion for holding the wire harnesses. The fastener body has a basic fastener body which, in addition to the holding portion, has a fixing portion which can be fixed to an object and a one-sided locking portion used for connecting with an adjacent fastener body, and an additional fastener body which, in addition to the holding portion, has a one-sided locking portion and a other-sided locking portion which can be locked to the one-sided locking portion of an adjacent fastener body, and the fastener bodies are connected to each other by a locking connection portion which is composed of the one-sided locking portion and the other-sided locking portion. With this configuration, an additional fastener body can be connected to the basic fastener body. Furthermore, another additional fastener body can be connected to the additional fastener body connected to the basic fastener body. Therefore, when an additional fastener body is connected to the basic fastener body, two wire harnesses can be held. Furthermore, when another additional fastener body is connected to the additional fastener body connected to the basic fastener body, three wire harnesses can be held. In this way, by preparing an additional fastener body number equal to the number of wire harnesses minus one in addition to the basic fastener body and connecting them, all wire harnesses can be held. Therefore, the harness fastener according to the present invention allows for changing the number of wire harnesses that can be held.

[0009] Also The basic fastener body is provided with a one-sided engaging portion used for connecting with an adjacent fastener body, and the additional fastener body is provided with a other-sided engaging portion that can engage with the one-sided engaging portion of the adjacent fastener body and the one-sided engaging portion of the one-sided engaging portion, and the fastener bodies are connected to each other by an engaging connection portion formed by the one-sided engaging portion and the other-sided engaging portion. There are .

[0010] this composition As a result, the fastener bodies are connected not only by the locking connection but also by the engaging connection, ensuring rigidity at the connection point. Furthermore, because the fastener bodies are connected by connection points of different types, it is possible to prevent the connection points from coming undone unintentionally. Moreover, it is possible to suppress rattle between these fastener bodies.

[0011] Ma Ta, The fastening device body has a receiving portion for housing the wire harness and a lid portion for closing the opening of the receiving portion, the one-side engaging portion is provided on the lid portion of one adjacent fastening device body, and the other-side engaging portion is provided on the receiving portion or the lid portion of the other adjacent fastening device body. There are .

[0012] this composition As a result, one side of the engaging portion is provided on the lid of one adjacent fastener body, and the other side of the engaging portion engages with the one side of the engaging portion when the lid is closed, thus preventing the lid from opening unintentionally. In other words, when the fastener bodies are connected, the other side of the engaging portion engages with the one side of the engaging portion provided on the lid, making it possible to restrain the lid in a closed state.

[0013] In another aspect of this invention, the lid portion may have a support portion that pivotably supports the lid portion with respect to the receiving portion, the one-side engaging portion may be provided on the side of the lid portion that is on the side of the support portion, and the other-side engaging portion may be provided on the side of the lid portion that is on the opposite side of the support portion.

[0014] With this invention, when the lid of one adjacent fastener body is closed, the one-sided engaging portion provided on the lid faces a predetermined direction. Then, when the lid of the other adjacent fastener body is closed, the other-sided engaging portion provided on that lid moves along the engaging direction and engages with the one-sided engaging portion. Therefore, by closing the lids of each fastener body connected by the locking coupling portion in the order of connection, the connection by the engaging coupling portion can be completed. Thus, the connection by the engaging coupling portion can be completed quickly, and since the other-sided engaging portion engages with the one-sided engaging portion provided on the lid, it is possible to restrain the lid in a closed state.

[0015] In another aspect of this invention, the one-sided engaging portion may be either a convex portion or a concave portion, and the other-sided engaging portion may be the other of either a convex portion or a concave portion, and the convex portion and the concave portion may be connected in a fitted state.

[0016] This invention allows for secure connection of the interlocking connectors despite its simple structure, as the convex and concave portions fit together and connect. Therefore, connection can be completed quickly and reliably using the interlocking connectors.

[0017] Also, as an aspect of the present invention, the holding portion may be provided with a fitting portion that fits into at least one of a concave portion or a convex portion formed on an outer peripheral surface of an exterior member that is externally mounted on the wire harness, on an inner peripheral surface of a portion extending along the longitudinal direction.

[0018] According to the present invention, since the fitting portion provided in the holding portion is fitted into the concave portion or the convex portion of the exterior member externally mounted on the wire harness, even if the wire harness is pushed or pulled in the longitudinal direction, it is possible to prevent the holding position of the wire harness in the longitudinal direction from shifting.

Effects of the Invention

[0019] According to the present invention, the number of wire harnesses to be held can be changed.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0021] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the harness fastener 1. The harness fastener 1 holds two sheathed harnesses WH. These sheathed harnesses WH consist of a wire harness W with a corrugated tube C overlay. In Figure 1, a portion of the corrugated tube C is shown as a dashed line to help understand the structure of the sheathed harnesses WH.

Figure 6 is an explanatory diagram of the situation in which the external harness WH is fitted into the receiving part 31, and Figure 7 is an explanatory diagram of the situation in which the cover part 32 is closed over the receiving part 31 into which the external harness WH is fitted. In Figure 7, the open cover part 32 is represented by a dashed line.

[0023] Furthermore, Figure 8 is a perspective view of the additional fastener body 5. Figure 9 is a front view and a top view of the additional fastener body 5, Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view of EE and FF in Figure 9, and Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view of GG in Figure 9. Figure 12 is an explanatory diagram of the situation in which the external harness WH is fitted into the receiving part 61, and Figure 13 is an explanatory diagram of the situation in which the lid part 62 is closed over the receiving part 61 into which the external harness WH is fitted. In Figure 13, the open lid part 62 is represented by a dashed line, similar to Figure 7.

[0024] In addition, Figure 14 is an explanatory diagram showing the situation in which an additional fixing device body 5 is connected to the basic fixing device body 2, and Figure 15 is an explanatory diagram showing the situation in which another additional fixing device body 5 is connected to the additional fixing device body 5 connected to the basic fixing device body 2. Figure 16 is a plan view of the harness fixing device 1, Figure 17 is a cross-sectional view of II in Figure 16, and Figure 18 is a cross-sectional view of JJ in Figure 16. Figure 19 is an explanatory diagram showing the situation in which the harness fixing device 1 is attached to the chassis frame Cf and the situation in which the harness fixing device 1 is attached to the connector box Cb. In Figure 19, the bolt gripping part 42 and the cassette locking part 45 that constitute the fixing part 4 are shown in a cross-sectional view.

[0025] In this application, the direction of the harness fastener 1 is indicated in all drawings. Specifically, arrow F indicates the front side, arrow B indicates the rear side, arrow L indicates the left side, and arrow R indicates the right side. Arrow U indicates the upper side, and arrow D indicates the lower side. In addition, in this application, the front-to-back direction is described as X, the left-to-right direction as Y, and the up-to-down direction as Z.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, the harness fastener 1 can connect additional fastener bodies 5 to the basic fastener body 2. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 15 and 16, the harness fastener 1 can also connect additional fastener bodies 5 to the additional fastener body 5 connected to the basic fastener body 2. In this way, the harness fastener 1 can hold all the externally mounted harnesses WH by providing a number of additional fastener bodies 5 equal to the number of externally mounted harnesses WH minus 1, in addition to the basic fastener body 2, and connecting them. The basic fastener body 2 and additional fastener bodies 5 will be described below.

[0027] As shown in Figures 2 to 7, the basic fixing device body 2 has a holding part 3 for holding the external harness WH and a fixing part 4 that can be fixed to the chassis frame Cf or the like (see Figures 19(a) and 19(b)). The basic fixing device body 2 is an injection molded product made of a resin material such as polypropylene.

[0028] The holding part 3 has a receiving part 31 formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and a lid part 32 that closes an opening formed on one side thereof. The holding part 3 also has a support part 33 that pivotally supports the lid part 32 relative to the receiving part 31, and a locking part 34 (see Figures 3(b) and 5(a)) that locks the lid part 32 to the receiving part 31 in a closed state. Furthermore, the holding part 3 has a cassette locking part 35 and a concave engaging part 36 used for connecting to the additional fixing device body 5.

[0029] The receiving portion 31 includes a semicircular tubular bottom plate 310 that runs along the outer circumferential surface of the lower side D of the outer-covered harness WH, a front plate 311 positioned along the front edge of the bottom plate 310, a left side plate 312 positioned along the left edge of the bottom plate 310, a right side plate 313 positioned along the right edge of the bottom plate 310, and a rear side plate 314 positioned along the rear edge of the bottom plate 310. The front plate 311 and the rear side plate 314 extend from the bottom plate 310 toward the upper side U and the lower side D, respectively, and are parallel to each other. Thus, an opening 30 (see Figure 6) is formed between the upper end portion of the front plate 311 and the upper end portion of the rear side plate 314. Inside the receiving portion 31, an insertion space Sa is formed along the left-right direction Y through which the outer-covered harness WH is inserted.

[0030] Furthermore, the receiving portion 31 is provided with ribs 31r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sa. More specifically, the left end L of the receiving portion 31 is provided with three ribs 31r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sa, and the right end R of the receiving portion 31 is also provided with three ribs 31r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sa. These ribs 31r are U-shaped, with the lower D connected in an arc when viewed from the left L or right R. Therefore, these ribs 31r fit into the recesses of the corrugated tube C that are fitted from above U (see Figure 6).

[0031] The lid portion 32 has a pivot plate 320 that is perpendicular to the vertical direction Z when the opening portion 30 is closed, and a rear edge plate 322 that is positioned along the rear end edge of the pivot plate 320. The rear edge plate 322 extends downward D from the pivot plate 320, and a concave engaging portion 36, described later, is provided at the left and right ends in the left-right direction Y. This concave engaging portion 36 is connected to the rear side plate 314 via a resin plate 331. Therefore, when the tip portion 32t of the pivot plate 320 is pivoted away from the upper end portion of the front side plate 311, the opening portion 30 opens (see Figure 6). Conversely, when the tip portion 32t of the pivot plate 320 is pivoted towards the upper end portion of the front side plate 311, the opening portion 30 closes (see Figure 7).

[0032] Furthermore, the lid portion 32 is provided with ribs 32r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sa. More specifically, the left end L of the lid portion 32 is provided with three ribs 32r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sa, and the right end R of the lid portion 32 is also provided with three ribs 32r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sa. These ribs 32r are in an inverted U shape, with the upper U connected in an arc shape when viewed from the left L or right R side. Therefore, these ribs 32r fit into the recess of the corrugated tube C when the lid portion 32 is closed relative to the receiving portion 31 (see Figure 7).

[0033] The support portion 33 pivotally supports the lid portion 32 relative to the receiving portion 31. The support portion 33 is constructed by connecting one side of the upper end portion of the rear plate 314 along the left-right direction Y with one side of the lower end edge of the protruding plate 363 of the concave interlocking portion 36 along the left-right direction Y using a resin plate 331.

[0034] The resin plate 331 is formed to be thinner than the rear plate 314 and the overhang plate 363, and can bend or extend in the rotational direction with a virtual upper axis along the left-right direction Y as the axis of rotation. For this reason, the support portion 33 makes it possible to pivot the tip portion 32t of the pivot plate 320 in a direction away from or towards the upper end portion of the front plate 311 (see Figures 6 and 7).

[0035] The locking portion 34 allows the lid portion 32 to be locked to the receiving portion 31 when it is closed. The locking portion 34 is composed of a locking piece 341 provided on the tip portion 32t of the pivot plate 320 and a locking ring 342 provided on the upper end portion of the front plate 311 (see Figures 3(b) and 5(a)).

[0036] The locking piece 341 is formed perpendicular to the pivot plate 320 at the tip portion 32t of the pivot plate 320. When the pivot plate 320 closes the opening portion 30, the locking piece 341 is a rectangular cross-section plate that is shorter in the front-to-back direction X and longer in the left-to-right direction Y, and a locking claw 34f is formed on its front surface (see Figures 3(b) and 5(a)).

[0037] The locking ring 342 is formed in a roughly rectangular tubular shape by an overhanging plate 343 positioned parallel to the front plate 311 at a predetermined distance, and a support plate 344 positioned perpendicular to the front plate 311 and the overhanging plate 343, and parallel to each other at a predetermined distance (see Figures 3(b) and 5(a)). A through hole is formed on its inside, penetrating in the vertical direction Z. Therefore, the locking piece 341 can be inserted into the locking ring 342. At this time, the locking claw 34f of the locking piece 341 catches on the overhanging plate 343 that constitutes the locking ring 342.

[0038] The cassette locking portion 35 is integrally provided on the rear surface of the rear plate 314 in the central part in the left-right direction Y. The cassette locking portion 35 mainly consists of a locking plate 351 and a pair of guide plates 352 and 353 (see Figures 2(a) and 3(b)). The locking plate 351 is arranged parallel to the rear plate 314 at a predetermined distance, except for the portion connected to the rear plate 314. The central part of the locking plate 351 in the left-right direction Y is cut out from the lower edge to the middle of the vertical direction Z. Therefore, a connecting portion 35c is formed in the locking plate 351 that connects a part of the left side L and a part of the right side R. This connecting portion 35c functions as a locking piece.

[0039] Furthermore, guide plates 352 and 353 extend from the rear plate 314 toward the rear side B. Guide plate 352 is positioned at a predetermined interval along the left edge of the locking plate 351, except for the portion connected to the locking plate 351. Guide plate 353 is positioned at a predetermined interval along the right edge of the locking plate 351, except for the portion connected to the locking plate 351. These guide plates 352 and 353 are positioned parallel to each other, with a spacing slightly wider than the left-right dimension Y of the insert locking portion 67 (see Figure 14), which will be described later. Therefore, these guide plates 352 and 353 function as guide plates that guide the insert locking portion 67 straight.

[0040] The concave engagement portion 36 is an engagement ring 362 integrally provided on the left and right ends of the rear surface of the rear edge plate 322 in the left-right direction Y. The engagement ring 362 is formed in a roughly rectangular tubular shape by an overhanging plate 363 arranged parallel to the rear edge plate 322 at a predetermined distance, and support plates 364 arranged perpendicular to the rear edge plate 322 and the overhanging plate 363, and parallel to each other at a predetermined distance (see Figures 3(b) and 5(a)). A through hole (hereinafter referred to as the engagement hole 36h) is formed on the inside, penetrating in the vertical direction Z. Therefore, the engagement piece 684 of the convex engagement portion 68 can be inserted into the engagement ring 362 (engagement hole 36h) (see Figure 14). At this time, the engagement claw of the engagement piece 684 may catch on the overhanging plate 363 that constitutes the engagement ring 362.

[0041] Furthermore, in the concave engagement portion 36, the lower edge of the protruding plate 363 is connected to the rear plate 314 via the resin plate 331. When the resin plate 331 bends and the lid portion 32 is closed, the engagement ring 362 of the concave engagement portion 36 faces upward U. In other words, the engagement hole 36h provided in the lid portion 32 faces upward U. Therefore, by inserting the engagement piece 684 of the convex engagement portion 68 into the engagement ring 362 (engagement hole 36h) from upward U, it becomes possible to restrain the lid portion 32 in a closed state. In addition, the protruding plate 363 constituting the engagement ring 362 is required to have rigidity because it is subjected to a load that tends to bend downward D due to the weight of the connected additional fixing device body 5, etc. Therefore, the aforementioned rib 32r extends further rearward B than the rear edge plate 322 and is connected to the central part of the protruding plate 363 in the left-right direction Y.

[0042] The fixing part 4 has a receiving part 41 formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The fixing part 4 also has a bolt gripping part 42 that can grip, for example, a stud bolt Bs protruding from a chassis frame Cf (see Figure 19(a)). Furthermore, the fixing part 4 has a cassette locking part 45 that can be locked to, for example, an insert locking part Ri provided on a connector box Cb (see Figure 19(b)). The insert locking part Ri is the same as the insert locking part 67, and the cassette locking part 45 is the same as the cassette locking part 35.

[0043] The receiving portion 41 includes an intermediate plate 410 perpendicular to the vertical direction Z, a front side plate 411 positioned along the front edge of the intermediate plate 410, a left side plate 412 positioned along the left edge of the intermediate plate 410, and a right side plate 413 positioned along the right edge of the intermediate plate 410. The front side plate 411 extends upward U and downward D from the intermediate plate 410 and is parallel to the aforementioned front side plate 311. The left side plate 412 and the right side plate 413 also extend upward U and downward D from the intermediate plate 410 and are parallel to each other.

[0044] The bolt gripping portion 42 is attached by sandwiching the intermediate plate 410 in the vertical direction Z. The bolt gripping portion 42 has a cylindrical body 420 with an enlarged upper end. A bolt gripping structure 421 is provided inside this cylindrical body 420 (see Figures 4(b) and 5(b)). The bolt gripping structure consists of a pair of gripping pieces 422 and 423, with one gripping piece 422 extending diagonally downward to the right from the center position in the vertical direction Z, and the other gripping piece 423 extending diagonally downward to the left from the center position in the vertical direction Z. Locking claws 42f are formed on each of the gripping pieces 422 and 423.

[0045] Furthermore, although these gripping pieces 422 and 423 have symmetrical shapes, they are displaced vertically in the Z direction by half the pitch length of the stud bolt Bs (see Figure 19(a)). That is, gripping piece 422 is positioned lower D than gripping piece 423 by half the pitch length of the stud bolt Bs. In other words, gripping piece 423 is positioned higher U than gripping piece 422 by half the pitch length of the stud bolt Bs. As a result, both the locking claw 42f of gripping piece 422 and the locking claw 42f of gripping piece 423 engage with the helically formed screw groove of the stud bolt Bs.

[0046] The cassette locking portion 45 is integrally provided on the front surface of the front plate 411 in the central part in the left-right direction Y. The cassette locking portion 45 mainly consists of a locking plate 451 and a pair of guide plates 452 and 453 (see Figures 2(b) and 3(b)). The locking plate 451 is arranged parallel to the front plate 411 at a predetermined distance, except for the portion connected to the front plate 411. The central part of the locking plate 451 in the left-right direction Y is cut out from the lower edge to the middle of the vertical direction Z. Therefore, a connecting portion 45c is formed on the locking plate 451, connecting a part of the left side L and a part of the right side R. This connecting portion 45c functions as a locking piece.

[0047] Furthermore, guide plates 452 and 453 extend from the front plate 411 toward the front side F. Guide plate 452 is positioned at a predetermined interval along the left edge of the locking plate 451, except for the portion connected to the locking plate 451. Guide plate 453 is positioned at a predetermined interval along the right edge of the locking plate 451, except for the portion connected to the locking plate 451. These guide plates 452 and 453 are positioned parallel to each other with a spacing slightly wider than the left-right dimension Y of the insert locking portion Ri (see Figure 19(b)), which will be described later. Therefore, these guide plates 452 and 453 function as guide plates that guide the insert locking portion 67 straight.

[0048] As mentioned above, the insert locking portion Ri is the same as the insert locking portion 67, and the cassette locking portion 45 is the same as the cassette locking portion 35. Therefore, it is also possible to connect the insert locking portion 67 of the additional fixing device body 5 to the cassette locking portion 45 of the basic fixing device body 2.

[0049] As shown in Figures 8 to 13, the additional fastener body 5 mainly consists of a holding part 6 that holds the externally mounted harness WH. The additional fastener body 5 is also an injection-molded product made of a resin material such as polypropylene.

[0050] The holding part 6 has a receiving part 61 formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and a lid part 62 that closes an opening formed on one side thereof. The holding part 6 also has a support part 63 that pivotally supports the lid part 62 relative to the receiving part 61, and a locking part 64 (see Figures 9(b) and 11(a)) that locks the lid part 62 to the receiving part 61 in a closed state. Furthermore, the holding part 6 has a cassette locking part 65, a concave engaging part 66, an insert locking part 67, and a convex engaging part 68 used for connecting to the additional fixing device body 5.

[0051] The receiving portion 61 includes a semicircular tubular bottom plate 610 that runs along the outer circumferential surface of the lower side D of the outer-covered harness WH, a front plate 611 positioned along the front edge of the bottom plate 610, a left side plate 612 positioned along the left edge of the bottom plate 610, a right side plate 613 positioned along the right edge of the bottom plate 610, and a rear side plate 614 positioned along the rear edge of the bottom plate 610. The front plate 611 and the rear side plate 614 extend from the bottom plate 610 toward the upper side U and the lower side D, respectively, and are parallel to each other. Thus, an opening 60 (see Figure 12) is formed between the upper end portion of the front plate 611 and the upper end portion of the rear side plate 614. Inside the receiving portion 61, an insertion space Sb is formed along the left-right direction Y through which the outer-covered harness WH is inserted.

[0052] Furthermore, the receiving portion 61 is provided with ribs 61r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sb. More specifically, the left end L of the receiving portion 61 is provided with three ribs 61r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sb, and the right end R of the receiving portion 61 is also provided with three ribs 61r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sb. These ribs 61r are U-shaped, with the lower D connected in an arc when viewed from the left L or right R. Therefore, these ribs 61r fit into the recesses of the corrugated tube C that are fitted from above U (see Figure 12).

[0053] The lid portion 62 has a pivot plate 620 that is perpendicular to the vertical direction Z when the opening portion 60 is closed, and a rear edge plate 622 that is positioned along the rear end edge of the pivot plate 620. The rear edge plate 622 extends downward D from the pivot plate 620, and recessed engaging portions 66, described later, are provided at the left and right ends in the left-right direction Y. These recessed engaging portions 66 are connected to the rear side plate 614 via a resin plate 631. Therefore, when the tip portion 62t of the pivot plate 620 is pivoted away from the upper end portion of the front side plate 611, the opening portion 60 opens (see Figure 12). Conversely, when the tip portion 62t of the pivot plate 620 is pivoted towards the upper end portion of the front side plate 611, the opening portion 60 closes (see Figure 13).

[0054] Furthermore, the lid portion 62 is provided with ribs 62r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sb. More specifically, the left end L of the lid portion 62 is provided with three ribs 62r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sb, and the right end R of the lid portion 62 is also provided with three ribs 62r that protrude toward the central axis of the insertion space Sb. These ribs 62r are in an inverted U shape, with the upper U connected in an arc shape when viewed from the left L or right R side. Therefore, these ribs 62r fit into the recess of the corrugated tube C when the lid portion 62 is closed relative to the receiving portion 61 (see Figure 13).

[0055] The support portion 63 pivotally supports the lid portion 62 relative to the receiving portion 61. The support portion 63 is constructed by connecting one side of the upper end portion of the rear plate 614 along the left-right direction Y with one side of the lower end edge of the protruding plate 663 of the concave interlocking portion 66 along the left-right direction Y using a resin plate 631.

[0056] The resin plate 631 is formed to be thinner than the rear plate 614 and the overhang plate 663, and can bend or extend in the rotational direction with a virtual upper axis along the left-right direction Y as the axis of rotation. For this reason, the support portion 63 allows the tip portion 62t of the pivot plate 620 to be pivoted away from or towards the upper end portion of the front plate 611 (see Figures 12 and 13).

[0057] The locking portion 64 allows the lid portion 62 to be locked to the receiving portion 61 when it is closed. The locking portion 64 is composed of a locking piece 641 provided on the tip portion 62t of the pivot plate 620 and a locking ring 642 provided on the upper end portion of the front plate 611 (see Figures 9(b) and 11(a)).

[0058] The locking piece 641 is formed perpendicular to the pivot plate 620 on the tip portion 62t of the pivot plate 620. When the pivot plate 620 closes the opening portion 60, the locking piece 641 is a rectangular cross-section plate that is shorter in the front-to-back direction X and longer in the left-to-right direction Y, and a locking claw 64f is formed on its front surface (see Figures 9(b) and 11(a)).

[0059] The locking ring 642 is formed in a roughly rectangular tubular shape by an overhanging plate 643 positioned parallel to the front plate 611 at a predetermined distance, and a support plate 644 positioned perpendicular to the front plate 611 and the overhanging plate 643, and parallel to each other at a predetermined distance (see Figures 9(b) and 11(a)). A through hole is formed on its inside, penetrating in the vertical direction Z. Therefore, the locking piece 641 can be inserted into the locking ring 642. At this time, the locking claw 64f of the locking piece 641 catches on the overhanging plate 643 that constitutes the locking ring 642.

[0060] The cassette locking portion 65 is integrally provided on the rear surface of the rear plate 614 in the central part in the left-right direction Y. The cassette locking portion 65 mainly consists of a locking plate 651 and a pair of guide plates 652 and 653 (see Figures 8(a) and 9(b)). The locking plate 651 is arranged parallel to the rear plate 614 at a predetermined distance, except for the portion connected to the rear plate 614. The central part of the locking plate 651 in the left-right direction Y is cut out from the lower edge to the middle of the vertical direction Z. As a result, a connecting portion 65c is formed in the locking plate 651 that connects a part of the left side L and a part of the right side R. This connecting portion 65c functions as a locking piece.

[0061] Furthermore, guide plates 652 and 653 extend from the rear plate 614 toward the rear side B. Guide plate 652 is positioned at a predetermined interval along the left edge of the locking plate 651, except for the portion connected to the locking plate 651. Guide plate 653 is positioned at a predetermined interval along the right edge of the locking plate 651, except for the portion connected to the locking plate 651. These guide plates 652 and 653 are positioned parallel to each other, with a spacing slightly wider than the left-right dimension Y of the insert locking portion 67 (see Figure 15), which will be described later. Therefore, these guide plates 652 and 653 function as guide plates that guide the insert locking portion 67 straight.

[0062] The concave engaging portion 66 is an engaging ring 662 integrally provided on the left and right ends of the rear surface of the rear edge plate 622 in the left-right direction Y. The engaging ring 662 is formed in a roughly rectangular tubular shape by an overhanging plate 663 arranged parallel to the rear edge plate 622 at a predetermined distance, and support plates 664 arranged perpendicular to the rear edge plate 622 and the overhanging plate 663, and parallel to each other at a predetermined distance (see Figures 9(b) and 11(a)). A through hole (hereinafter referred to as the engaging hole 66h) is formed on the inside, penetrating in the vertical direction Z. Therefore, the engaging piece 684 of the convex engaging portion 68 can be inserted into the engaging ring 662 (engaging hole 66h) (see Figure 15). At this time, the engaging claw of the engaging piece 684 may catch on the overhanging plate 663 that constitutes the engaging ring 662.

[0063] Furthermore, in the concave engagement portion 66, the lower edge of the protruding plate 663 is connected to the rear plate 614 via the resin plate 331. When the resin plate 631 bends and the lid portion 62 is closed, the engagement ring 662 of the concave engagement portion 66 faces upward U. In other words, the engagement hole 66h provided in the lid portion 62 faces upward U. Therefore, by inserting the engagement piece 684 of the convex engagement portion 68 into the engagement ring 662 (engagement hole 66h) from upward U, it becomes possible to restrain the lid portion 62 in a closed state. In addition, the protruding plate 663 constituting the engagement ring 662 is required to have rigidity because it is subjected to a load that tends to bend downward D due to the weight of the connected additional fixing device body 5, etc. Therefore, the aforementioned rib 62r extends further rearward B than the rear edge plate 622 and is connected to the central part of the protruding plate 663 in the left-right direction Y.

[0064] The insert locking portion 67 is integrally provided on the front surface of the front plate 611 in the central part in the left-right direction Y. The insert locking portion 67 mainly consists of a locking plate 671 and a pair of guide plates 672 and 673 (see Figures 8(b) and 9(b)). The locking plate 671 is a portion that extends downward D in the central part in the left-right direction Y, and is arranged parallel to the front plate 611 at a predetermined distance. A locking claw 67f is formed on the rear surface of the locking plate 671 (see Figure 10(b)).

[0065] Furthermore, the guide plates 672 and 673 extend from the front plate 611 toward the front side F. Guide plate 672 is positioned at a predetermined interval along the left edge of the locking plate 671, except for the portion connected to the locking plate 671. Guide plate 673 is positioned at a predetermined interval along the right edge of the locking plate 671, except for the portion connected to the locking plate 671. These guide plates 672 and 673 are positioned parallel to each other, with a spacing slightly narrower than the left-right dimension Y of the aforementioned cassette locking portions 35 and 65 (see Figures 14 and 15). Therefore, these guide plates 672 and 673 function as guide plates that guide the cassette locking portion 35 straight.

[0066] The convex engaging portion 68 is an engaging arm integrally provided on the left and right ends of the front surface of the front plate 611 in the left-right direction Y. The engaging arm is formed in a substantially hook shape by an extension plate 682 arranged perpendicularly to the front plate 611 at a predetermined distance, a support plate 683 arranged perpendicularly to the front plate 611 and the extension plate 682 and parallel to each other at a predetermined distance, and an engaging piece 684 projecting downward D along the front edge of the extension plate 682 (see Figures 9(a) and 11(a)). The extension plate 682 is integrally formed with the protruding plate 643 of the aforementioned locking ring 642, and the support plate 683 is integrally formed with the support plate 644.

[0067] Furthermore, the engaging piece 684 is formed as a rectangular plate with a rectangular cross-section that is short in the front-to-back direction X and long in the left-to-right direction Y when the pivot plate 620 closes the opening 60. Its width in the left-to-right direction Y is approximately equal to the gap in the left-to-right direction Y of the engaging holes 36h and 66h mentioned above. Therefore, when such engaging piece 684 is inserted into the engaging holes 36h and 66h, it will fit in without any looseness (see Figures 14 and 15). At this time, the engaging claws of the engaging piece 684 may also catch on the protruding plates 363 and 663 that constitute the engaging rings 362 and 662. The engaging piece 684 tapers towards the tip to facilitate insertion into the engaging holes 36h and 66h.

[0068] Incidentally, as shown in Figure 14, the harness fastener 1 can connect an additional fastener body 5 to the basic fastener body 2. That is, they can be connected by fitting the insert locking portion 67 of the additional fastener body 5 into the cassette locking portion 35 of the basic fastener body 2 from the upper side U. At this time, the locking claw 67f of the locking plate 671 will catch on the connecting portion 35c that connects a part of the left side L and a part of the right side R of the locking plate 351 (see Figure 17). At the same time, the engaging piece 684 that constitutes the convex engaging portion 68 will be inserted into the engaging ring 362, which is the concave engaging portion 36. In other words, the engaging piece 684 will be inserted into the engaging hole 36h (see Figure 18). Thus, the harness fastener 1 according to this embodiment has a locking connection portion formed by the cassette locking portion 35 and the insert locking portion 67. Furthermore, the recessed engaging portion 36 and the convex engaging portion 68 constitute the engaging connection portion.

[0069] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 15, this harness fastener 1 can connect to an additional fastener body 5. That is, they can be connected by fitting the insert locking portion 67 of the additional fastener body 5 to the cassette locking portion 65 of the additional fastener body 5 from above U. At this time, the locking claw 67f of the locking plate 671 will catch on the connecting portion 65c that connects a part of the left side L and a part of the right side R of the locking plate 651 (see Figure 17). Simultaneously, the engaging piece 684 that constitutes the convex engaging portion 68 will be inserted into the engaging ring 662, which is the concave engaging portion 66. In other words, the engaging piece 684 will be inserted into the engaging hole 66h (see Figure 18). Thus, in this embodiment, the harness fastener 1 has a locking connection portion formed by the cassette locking portion 65 and the insert locking portion 67. Furthermore, the recessed engaging portion 66 and the convex engaging portion 68 constitute the engaging connection portion.

[0070] As shown in Figure 19(a), the harness fastener 1 is provided with a bolt gripping portion 42 on the fixing portion 4, and the stud bolts Bs can be gripped by this bolt gripping portion 42. The harness fastener 1 according to this embodiment is attached by fitting the bolt gripping portion 42 onto the stud bolts Bs protruding from the chassis frame Cf from the lower side D.

[0071] In addition, as shown in Figure 19(b), the harness fastener 1 is provided with a cassette locking portion 45 on the fixing portion 4, and the insert locking portion Ri can be locked by this cassette locking portion 45. The harness fastener 1 according to this embodiment is attached to the insert locking portion 67 provided on the connector box Cb by fitting the cassette locking portion 45 from the lower side D.

[0072] As described above, the harness fastener 1 according to this embodiment can hold a plurality of externally mounted harnesses WH arranged side by side in a cross direction (left-right direction Y) that intersects the longitudinal direction (left-right direction Y), and can be fixed to a chassis frame Cf or the like. It has a plurality of fastener bodies, each having a holding portion 3, 6 for holding the externally mounted harnesses WH. The fastener body has a basic fastener body 2 which, in addition to the holding portion 3, is provided with a fixing portion 4 that can be fixed to a chassis frame Cf or the like, and a cassette locking portion 35 used for connecting with an adjacent additional fastener body 5. The additional fastener body 5 is provided with a cassette locking portion 65 and an insert locking portion 67 that can be locked to the cassette locking portion 35 in addition to the holding portion 6. The fastener bodies are connected to each other (basic fastener body 2 and additional fastener body 5, and additional fastener body 5 and additional fastener body 5) by a locking connection portion composed of the cassette locking portions 35, 65 and the insert locking portion 67.

[0073] With this harness fastener 1, the number of harnesses WH with an external casing can be changed. More specifically, the harness fastener 1 according to the present invention can hold multiple externally mounted harnesses WH arranged side by side in a crossing direction (left-right direction Y) that intersects the longitudinal direction (left-right direction Y), and can be fixed to a chassis frame Cf or the like, and has multiple fastener bodies provided with holding parts 3,6 for holding the externally mounted harnesses WH. The fixing device body comprises a basic fixing device body 2, which has a holding part 3, a fixing part 4 that can be fixed to a chassis frame Cf, etc., and a cassette locking part 35 used for connecting with an adjacent additional fixing device body 5; and an additional fixing device body 5, which has a holding part 6, a cassette locking part 65, and an insert locking part 67 that can lock onto the cassette locking part 35 of the adjacent basic fixing device body 2 or the cassette locking part 65 of the additional fixing device body 5. The fixing device bodies (basic fixing device body 2 and additional fixing device body 5, and additional fixing device body 5 and additional fixing device body 5) are connected by a locking connection part composed of the cassette locking parts 35, 65 and the insert locking part 67. With this configuration, an additional fixing device body 5 can be connected to the basic fixing device body 2. Furthermore, another additional fixing device body 5 can be connected to the additional fixing device body 5 connected to the basic fixing device body 2. Therefore, when the additional fixing device body 5 is connected to the basic fixing device body 2, two externally mounted harnesses WH can be held. Also, when another additional fixing device body 5 is connected to the additional fixing device body 5 connected to the basic fixing device body 2, three externally mounted harnesses WH can be held. In this way, by preparing an additional fixing device body 5 equal to the number of externally mounted harnesses WH minus one, in addition to the basic fixing device body 2, and connecting them, all externally mounted harnesses WH can be held. Therefore, the harness fixing device 1 according to the present invention allows for changing the number of externally mounted harnesses WH that can be held.

[0074] Furthermore, in the harness fastener 1 according to this embodiment, the basic fastener body 2 is provided with a concave engagement portion 36 used for connecting with an adjacent additional fastener body 5, and the additional fastener body 5 is provided with a concave engagement portion 66 and a convex engagement portion 68 that can be engaged with the concave engagement portion 36 of the adjacent basic fastener body 2 or the concave engagement portion 66 of the additional fastener body 5, and the fastener bodies (basic fastener body 2 and additional fastener body 5, and additional fastener body 5 and additional fastener body 5) are connected to each other by an engagement connection portion composed of the concave engagement portions 36, 66 and the convex engagement portion 68.

[0075] With this harness fastener 1, the fastener bodies (basic fastener body 2 and additional fastener body 5, and additional fastener body 5 and additional fastener body 5) are connected not only by locking connections but also by engaging connections, thus ensuring the rigidity of the connection points. Furthermore, since the fastener bodies (basic fastener body 2 and additional fastener body 5, and additional fastener body 5 and additional fastener body 5) are connected by different types of connection points (locking connections and engaging connections), it is possible to prevent the connection points from coming undone unintentionally. Moreover, it is possible to suppress rattling between these fastener bodies (basic fastener body 2 and additional fastener body 5, and additional fastener body 5 and additional fastener body 5).

[0076] Furthermore, in the harness fastener 1 according to this embodiment, the fastener body (basic fastener body 2 and additional fastener body 5) has receiving portions 31, 61 that accommodate the outer-mounted harness WH and lid portions 32, 62 that close the openings 30, 60 of the receiving portions 31, 61, and recessed engaging portions 36, 66 are provided on the lid portions 32, 62 of one adjacent fastener body (basic fastener body 2 or additional fastener body 5), and a convex engaging portion 68 is provided on the receiving portion 61 of the other adjacent additional fastener body 5.

[0077] With this harness fastener 1, the concave engaging portions 36, 66 are provided on the lid portions 32, 62 of one adjacent fastener body (basic fastener body 2 or additional fastener body 5), and the convex engaging portion 68 engages with the concave engaging portions 36, 66 when the lid portions 32, 62 are closed, thus preventing the lid portions 32, 62 from opening unintentionally. In other words, when the fastener bodies are connected to each other (basic fastener body 2 and additional fastener body 5, and additional fastener body 5 and additional fastener body 5), the convex engaging portion 68 engages with the concave engaging portions 36, 66 provided on the lid portions 32, 62, making it possible to restrain the lid portions 32, 62 in a closed state.

[0078] Furthermore, in the harness fastener 1 according to this embodiment, the concave engaging portions 36, 66 may be engaging holes 36h, 66h, and the convex engaging portion 68 may be engaging piece 684, and the engaging holes 36h, 66h and the engaging piece 684 may be connected in a fitted state.

[0079] With this harness fastener 1, the engagement holes 36h, 66h of the concave engagement parts 36, 66 and the engagement piece 684 of the convex engagement part 68 are fitted together and connected, so that connection can be reliably completed by the engagement connection part despite the simple structure. Therefore, connection can be completed quickly and reliably by the engagement connection part.

[0080] Furthermore, in the harness fastener 1 according to this embodiment, the holding portions 3 and 6 are provided with ribs 31r, 32r, 61r, and 62r on the inner circumferential surface of the portion extending along the longitudinal direction (left-right direction Y), which fit into recesses formed on the outer circumferential surface of the corrugated tube C that is covered by the outer-covered harness WH.

[0081] With this harness fastener 1, the ribs 31r, 32r, 61r, and 62r provided on the holding parts 3 and 6 fit into the recesses of the corrugated tube C that is fitted onto the outer-walled harness WH. Therefore, even if the outer-walled harness WH is pushed or pulled in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction Y), it is possible to prevent the holding position of the outer-walled harness WH in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction Y) from shifting.

[0082] In the correspondence between the structure of this invention and the embodiments described above, The harness fastener corresponds to harness fastener 1. The basic fixing device body corresponds to the basic fixing device body 2. The holding part corresponds to the holding part 3. The fixing part corresponds to fixing part 4, The additional fixing device body corresponds to the additional fixing device body 5. The holding part corresponds to the holding part 6, The receiving part corresponds to receiving parts 31 and 61. The lid corresponds to lids 32 and 62. The support part corresponds to support parts 33 and 63. One side locking part corresponds to the cassette locking parts 35 and 65. One side engagement portion corresponds to the concave engagement portions 36, 66, The other locking portion corresponds to the insert locking portion 67. The other side engagement portion corresponds to the convex engagement portion 68. The engaging holes correspond to engaging rings 362 and 662. The convex portion corresponds to the engaging piece 684, The concave portion corresponds to the engagement holes 36h and 66h. The mating section corresponds to ribs 31r, 32r, 61r, and 62r. The wire harness is compatible with wire harness W. The exterior component corresponds to corrugated tube C. The target of the fixation is the chassis frame Cf, This invention is not limited to the configuration of the embodiments described above, and many other embodiments can be obtained.

[0083] For example, in the harness fastener 1 according to this embodiment, the convex engaging portion 68 is provided on the receiving portion 61. However, as shown in Figure 20, the convex engaging portion 68 may also be provided on the lid portion 62. That is, the left and right ends of the pivot plate 620 constituting the lid portion 62 extend in a direction away from the support portion 63 in the left-right direction Y, and an engaging piece 684 may be provided perpendicularly along the leading edge of such extended plate 682.

[0084] To explain in more detail, in the harness fastener 1 according to another embodiment, there are support parts 33, 63 that pivotally support the lid parts 32, 62 with respect to the receiving parts 31, 61, and recessed engaging parts 36, 66 are provided on the side of the lid parts 32, 62 that are supported by the support parts 33, 63 (rear side B), and a convex engaging part 68 may be provided on the opposite side of the lid part 62 from the side of the support part 63.

[0085] With this harness fastener 1, when the lids 32, 62 of one adjacent fastener body (basic fastener body 2 or additional fastener body 5) are closed, the concave engaging portions 36, 66 provided on the lids 32, 62 face upward U, with their engaging holes 36h, 66h facing upward. Then, when the lid 62 of the other adjacent additional fastener body 5 is closed, the convex engaging portion 68 provided on the lid 62 moves downward D, and the engaging piece 684 is inserted into the engaging holes 36h, 66h. Therefore, by closing the lids 32, 62 of each fastener body (basic fastener body 2 and additional fastener body 5) connected by the locking connector in the order of connection, the connection by the locking connector can be reliably completed despite the simple configuration. Therefore, the connection by the engaging joint can be completed quickly, and since the convex engaging part 68 engages with the concave engaging parts 36, 66 provided on the lid parts 32, 62, it is possible to restrain the lid parts 32, 62 in a closed state.

[0086] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the harness fastener 1 has ribs 31r and 32r on the inner surface of the holding portion 3, and these ribs 31r and 32r fit into recesses formed on the outer surface of the corrugated tube C. However, a slit may be provided on the inner surface of the holding portion 3, and this slit may fit into a protrusion formed on the outer surface of the corrugated tube C. Of course, both ribs and a slit may be provided on the inner surface of the holding portion 3, and these may fit into recesses or protrusions formed on the outer surface of the corrugated tube C.

[0087] The same applies to the retaining portion 6. That is, a slit may be provided on the inner surface of the retaining portion 6, and this slit may fit into a protrusion formed on the outer surface of the corrugated tube C. Of course, both ribs and slits may be provided on the inner surface of the retaining portion 6, and these may fit into recesses and protrusions formed on the outer surface of the corrugated tube C.

[0088] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the harness fastener 1 uses a corrugated tube C as the outer covering of the wire harness W. However, a flexible tube such as a vinyl tube or a rigid tube such as an aluminum tube may be used as the outer covering. Also, the type of outer covering may be changed on one side and the other side in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction Y) with the harness fastener 1 as the boundary. Alternatively, the type of outer covering may be changed between one wire harness W and another wire harness W.

[0089] In addition, the harness fastener 1 according to this embodiment has a basic fastener body 2 with a fixing part 4. However, it may also be configured without a fixing part 4. Even in this configuration, it can still perform the function of holding and bundling the harness WH with its outer casing. Furthermore, the harness fastener 1 according to this embodiment has a bolt gripping part 42 and a cassette locking part 45 in the fixing part 4. However, it may also have only one of the bolt gripping part 42 or the cassette locking part 45. Alternatively, it may have other fixing structures. [Explanation of Symbols]
