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

[0011] The carpet with wiring members and the engaging parts of the present disclosure are as follows.

[0012] (1) A carpet with a wiring member, comprising: a carpet; a wiring member fixed to the carpet and having a first protruding end and a second protruding end that each protrude from the carpet; a first engaging part fixed to the first protruding end and having a convex portion; and a second engaging part fixed to the second protruding end and having a concave portion into which the convex portion can fit, wherein the convex portion or the concave portion is formed in a shape that allows it to be fixed to a support target portion that is supported on a vehicle body.

[0013] As a result, the first engaging part and the second engaging part are temporarily fixed together by fitting the convex part into the concave part. Therefore, when the carpet is carried, the first engaging part and the second engaging part are temporarily fixed together, preventing the wiring member from sagging out of the carpet. Furthermore, when the convex part is removed from the concave part, the first engaging part and the second engaging part are released from the fixed position, and the convex part or the concave part is fixed to a support target part supported by the vehicle body. Therefore, the structure for preventing the wiring member from sagging and the structure for fixing the wiring member to the body are shared. This simplifies the configuration so that multiple wiring members can be temporarily fixed together and can also be fixed to a bracket inside the vehicle.

[0014] (2) In the carpet with wiring member of (1), the first engaging part and the second engaging part each have the convex part and the concave part, and the first engaging part and the second engaging part may have the same shape. This allows the first engaging part and the second engaging part to be common parts, thereby reducing the number of types of parts.

[0015] (3) In the carpet with wiring member of (1) or (2), the protruding direction of the convex portion may be a direction along the longitudinal direction of the portion of the wiring member to be attached, and the extending direction of the concave portion may be a direction along the longitudinal direction of the portion of the wiring member to be attached. This allows the convex portion to be inserted into the concave portion in a direction along the longitudinal direction of the wiring member. Therefore, the portion of the first protruding end to which the first engaging component is fixed and the portion of the second protruding end to which the second engaging component is fixed are aligned in the longitudinal direction.

[0016] (4) In the carpet with wiring member of any one of (1) to (3), the convex portion may further have a first engaging protrusion, and the concave portion may have a first engaging hole with which the first engaging protrusion engages. This allows the first engaging protrusion and the first engaging hole to engage, making it difficult for the convex portion and the concave portion to come loose from their engagement.

[0017] (5) In the carpet with wiring member of any one of (2) to (4), the first engaging part and the second engaging part each include an engaging main body part having the recess formed therein and an extension part, the recess having a fitting opening that opens to one side of the engaging main body part, the protrusion part extending on the opposite side of the fitting opening from the engaging main body part, and the extension part extending on the opposite side of the fitting opening from the engaging main body part and in parallel with the protrusion part at a distance from the protrusion part, and the protrusion part may be fixed to the support target part with the support target part positioned between the protrusion part and the extension part. This allows the first engaging part and the second engaging part to be temporarily fixed by fitting the protrusion part into the recess. The support target part can be fixed using the protrusion part and the extension part. Therefore, the recess part and the support target part can have different configurations.

[0018] (6) In the carpet with wiring member of (5), the convex portion may further include a first engaging protrusion that engages with a first engaging hole formed in the recess and a second engaging protrusion that engages with a second engaging hole formed in the support target portion, the second engaging protrusion being formed in a position facing the extension portion, and the first engaging protrusion being a protrusion lower than the second engaging protrusion. As a result, the first engaging protrusion is lower than the second engaging protrusion, making it easier for the first engaging protrusion and the first engaging hole to disengage. The second engaging protrusion, which is a relatively higher protrusion, can firmly secure the convex portion to the support target portion. Because the second engaging protrusion is formed in a position facing the extension portion, the extension portion keeps the support target portion close to the convex portion, making it easier for the second engaging protrusion to remain engaged with the second engaging hole.

[0019] (7) In the carpet with wiring member of (5) or (6), the first engaging part or the second engaging part may have a first extension part further extending from the extension part and a second extension part extending from an end of the engaging main body opposite to the end on the side where the extension part extends. This allows the first extension part and the second extension part to be used as fixing parts for the wiring member.

[0020] (8) An engaging part includes a convex portion, an engaging main body portion including a recess into which the convex portion can be fitted, and a wiring member fixing portion fixed to the wiring member, wherein the convex portion or the recess is formed in a shape that allows it to be fixed to a support target portion supported by a vehicle body. This allows two engaging parts to be prepared and the engaging parts to be fixed to different locations on the wiring member. The first engaging part and the second engaging part are temporarily fixed by fitting the convex portion into the recess. Therefore, the portion of the wiring member to which the first engaging part is fixed and the portion to which the second engaging part is fixed are brought together, preventing the wiring member from sagging. Furthermore, with the convex portion removed from the recess, the convex portion or the recess is fixed to the support target portion supported by the vehicle body. Therefore, the structure for preventing the wiring member from sagging and the structure for fixing the wiring member to the body are shared. This simplifies the configuration that allows multiple wiring members to be temporarily fixed together and also fixed to a bracket inside the vehicle.

[0021] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] <Embodiments> Specific examples of the wiring member-equipped carpet and engaging parts of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the following drawings. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to these examples, but is defined by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.

[0022] The wiring member-equipped carpet 45 and the engaging part 80 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below.

[0023] Here, an example will be described in which the wiring member-equipped carpet 45 is laid on a floor panel of a vehicle, but the application is not limited to floor panels. The carpet 40 may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. For example, the carpet may be a laminate in which a fiber material is layered with another fiber material or a foam material. The other fiber material or foam material may be what is called a silencer. If the carpet is a laminate, the wiring member 20 may be disposed between the layers.

[0024] <Overall Configuration> Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a carpet 45 with wiring members. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a part of the protruding end 21 (22) and an engaging part 80. Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a process in which one protruding end 21 and the other protruding end 22 are temporarily fastened together by the engaging part 80. Fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which one protruding end 21 and the other protruding end 22 are temporarily fastened together by the engaging part 80. Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which the engaging part 80 is fixed to a support target 100.

[0025] The wiring member-attached carpet 45 includes a carpet 40, a wiring member 20, a first engaging part 80a, and a second engaging part 80b.

[0026] The wiring member 20 is fixed to the carpet 40 by a wiring member fixture 60. The wiring member 20 includes a plurality of electric wires. Here, the wiring member 20 is configured such that a plurality of electric wires are bundled together while branching out. A connector (not shown) or the like may be attached to the end of the electric wire. The wiring member 20 may be disposed on the surface of the carpet 40 facing the interior of the vehicle, or on the surface facing the floor panel. The wiring member 20 connects devices together in the vehicle. The wiring member 20 includes a plurality of linear transmission members. The linear transmission members may be electric wires that transmit electricity or optical fiber cables that transmit light. The wiring members 20 may be grouped together according to their respective paths in the vehicle.

[0027] 1, the wiring member 20 fixed to the carpet 40 is shown as a single wiring path. The wiring member may include a plurality of divided wiring members that form separate wiring paths in the carpet.

[0028] Various structures, including well-known structures, may be employed as the structure for fixing the wiring member 20 to the carpet 40. For example, the wiring member fixing device 60 may be a cable tie, which may be fastened to a portion of the carpet 40 and the wiring member 20. The wiring member 20 may be fixed to the carpet 40 using a clamp with a cable tie, a hook-and-loop fastener, adhesive tape, or adhesive as the wiring member fixing device 60.

[0029] The wiring member 20 has a first protruding end 21 and a second protruding end 22 that respectively protrude from the carpet 40. The first protruding end 21 and the second protruding end 22 are parts of the wiring member 20 that protrude from the edge of the carpet 40.

[0030] <Engaging Parts 80 (First Engaging Part 80a, Second Engaging Part 80b)> The first engaging part 80a and the second engaging part 80b are formed of an elastically deformable material such as resin. The first engaging part 80a is fixed to the first protruding end 21. The second engaging part 80b is fixed to the second protruding end 22. In this embodiment, the first engaging part 80a and the second engaging part 80b have the same shape. An engaging part 80 is used as a common part for the first engaging part 80a and the second engaging part 80b. In this embodiment, the reference numerals 80a and 80b are used to distinguish between the first engaging part 80a and the second engaging part 80b, and the reference numeral 80 is used to describe the engaging part 80 as a common part without distinguishing between them.

[0031] When two common engaging parts 80 are used, one engaging part 80 engages with the other engaging part 80. For example, the two engaging parts 80 engage when the convex part 81 of one engaging part 80 fits into the concave part 83 of the other engaging part 80. Note that instead of the engaging part 80 as a common part, an engaging part having the convex part 81 but omitting the concave part 83, and an engaging part having the concave part 83 but omitting the convex part, may be used. The engaging parts 80 are fixed to the attachment target portions 23 of the first protruding end 21 and the second protruding end 22 by wrapping tape 24 around them.

[0032] The engaging part 80 has a protrusion 81 and an engaging main body 82. The engaging main body 82 is cylindrical with a bottom, and more specifically, has a flattened rectangular cylindrical shape. A recess 83 is formed in the engaging main body 82. The recess 83 has a fitting opening 84 that opens to one side of the engaging main body 82. The recess 83 is a rectangular parallelepiped recess that extends from the fitting opening 84 into the engaging main body 82. When the engaging part 80 is fixed to the attachment target part 23, the extending direction of the recess 83 is along the longitudinal direction A of the attachment target part 23.

[0033] In this embodiment, a first engagement hole 87 is formed in the recess 83. The first engagement hole 87 is formed on one of the four inner surfaces around the recess 83, at a position spaced inward from the fitting opening 84. The first engagement hole 87 is recessed when viewed from the recess 83. In this embodiment, the first engagement hole 87 opens in a square shape on the recess 83 side. The first engagement hole 87 penetrates the engagement main body 82 and also opens to the outside of the engagement main body 82, but this is not essential.

[0034] A guide portion 85 is formed on one of the four inner surfaces around the recess 83, extending inward from the fitting opening 84. The guide portion 85 slopes inward as it extends from the fitting opening 84 toward the center of the recess 83. The guide portion 85 is located closer to the fitting opening 84 than the first engagement hole 87.

[0035] In this embodiment, the protrusion 81 is formed into a shape that allows it to be temporarily fixed to the recess 83 and also fixed to the support target portion 100. In this embodiment, the protrusion 81 is plate-shaped, more specifically, an elongated rectangular plate-shaped. The protrusion direction of the protrusion 81 is a direction along the longitudinal direction A of the attachment target portion 23 of the wiring member 20. The protrusion direction of the protrusion 81 is also the same as the extension direction of the recess 83. The protrusion 81 extends on the opposite side of the fitting opening 84 with respect to the engagement main body portion 82.

[0036] The convex portion 81 has a shape that allows it to be fitted into the concave portion 83. The outer peripheral shape of the convex portion 81 may be the same as the inner peripheral shape of the concave portion 83. The outer peripheral shape of the convex portion 81 may be smaller than the inner peripheral shape of the concave portion 83 as long as the engagement state between the first engagement protrusion portion 88 and the first engagement hole portion 87 can be maintained.

[0037] The convex portion 81 has a first engagement protrusion 88. When the convex portion 81 is fitted into the recessed portion 83, the first engagement protrusion 88 engages with the first engagement hole 87. The convex portion 81 also has a second engagement protrusion 89 that engages with a second engagement hole 101 of the support target portion 100, which will be described later. The first engagement protrusion 88 is a protrusion that is lower than the second engagement protrusion 89. The second engagement protrusion 89 is formed at a position facing the extension portion 86. The first engagement protrusion 88 is formed on a different surface of the convex portion 81 from the second engagement protrusion 89. In the longitudinal direction of the convex portion 81 (which is the same as the longitudinal direction A of the attachment target portion 23), the positions of the first engagement protrusion 88 and the second engagement protrusion 89 are different. In the temporarily fixed state, the highest part of the second engagement protrusion 89 is in a position that does not fit into the recessed portion 83. The first engaging protrusion 88 is located on the tip side of the convex portion 81 , and the second engaging protrusion 89 is located on the base end side of the convex portion 81 .

[0038] The first engaging protrusion 88 and the second engaging protrusion 89 have inclined surfaces 88f, 89f whose protrusion length gradually decreases toward the tip end side of the convex portion 81. It is preferable that the surfaces of the first engaging protrusion 88 and the second engaging protrusion 89 facing the base end side of the convex portion 81 are perpendicular to the protruding direction of the convex portion 81.

[0039] In this embodiment, the engaging part 80 further has an extension portion 86. The extension portion 86 extends from the engaging body portion 82 on the opposite side from the fitting opening 84. The extension portion 86 is plate-shaped, more specifically, in the shape of an elongated rectangular plate. The extension portion 86 extends parallel to the protrusion 81 with a gap therebetween.

[0040] In this embodiment, the engaging part 80 has a first extension 91 and a second extension 92. The first extension 91 extends further from the extension 86. The second extension 92 extends from an end 80Q of the engaging main body 82 opposite to an end 80P from which the extension 86 extends. The first extension 91 and the second extension 92 function as wiring member fixing portions. The first extension 91 and the second extension 92, together with the wiring member 20, are wrapped with the tape 24.

[0041] The first engagement hole 87 is located on the extensions 91, 92 side of the recess 83, and the first engagement protrusion 88 is located on the opposite side of the extensions 91, 92 from the protrusion 81. Therefore, when temporarily fastening the two engaging parts 80, the extensions 91, 92 fixed to the protruding ends 21, 22 are positioned on the outside of the two engaging parts 80, and the protrusion 81 of one engaging part 80 is fitted into the recess 83 of the other engaging part 80, so that the first engagement protrusion 88 engages with the first engagement hole 87.

[0042] The second engaging protrusion 89 is formed closer to the base end of the convex portion 81 than the first engaging protrusion 88. Therefore, when the first engaging protrusion 88 is engaged with the first engaging hole 87, the first engaging protrusion 88 can be positioned on the fitting opening 84 side of the recess 83.

[0043] <Support target portion 100> The support target portion 100 is formed, for example, by pressing a metal plate. The support target portion 100 is supported by the vehicle body 1. In this embodiment, the support target portion 100 is fixed to the vehicle body 1 by a configuration including a well-known structure such as welding or bolting. The support target portion 100 includes a vehicle body fixing portion 102 and an engaging component fixing portion 103. The engaging component fixing portion 103 is formed in a flat plate shape, for example, a rectangular plate shape. A second engaging hole portion 101 is formed in the engaging component fixing portion 103. The convex portion 81 is fixed to the support target portion 100 with the engaging component fixing portion 103 positioned between the convex portion 81 and the extension portion 86.

[0044] <Temporarily Fixing One Engaging Part 80 to Another Engaging Part 80> When temporarily joining one engaging part 80 (80a) to another engaging part 80 (80b), as shown in Figure 3, one engaging part 80 (80a) and the other engaging part 80 (80b) are placed inside the protruding ends 21, 22, and the convex portion 81 of one engaging part 80 (80a) fits into the concave portion 83 of the other engaging part 80 (80b) (see dotted line B). At this time, the tip of the convex portion 81 is smoothly guided into the concave portion 83 by the guide portion 85.

[0045] Thereafter, the first engaging protrusion 88 enters the interior of the recess 83. Here, the thickness of the protrusion 81 plus the protrusion length of the first engaging protrusion 88 is greater than the spatial height of the recess 83 in the thickness direction of the protrusion 81. Therefore, the engaging main body 82 elastically deforms to increase the spatial height on the fitting opening 84 side, thereby allowing the protrusion 81 to enter the recess 83. When the first engaging protrusion 88 enters the recess 83, the inclined surface 88f of the first engaging protrusion 88 contacts the guide portion 85, so the first engaging protrusion 88 does not get caught on the fitting opening 84, and can smoothly enter the recess 83 while gradually elastically deforming the engaging main body 82.

[0046] The first engagement protrusion 88 reaches the first engagement hole 87 and enters the first engagement hole 87. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4 , the first engagement protrusion 88 and the first engagement hole 87 engage with each other. In this state, the highest portion of the second engagement protrusion 89 does not enter the recess 83. However, the tip of the second engagement protrusion 89 may enter the recess 83. When the tip of the second engagement protrusion 89 enters the recess 83 in this manner, the elastic restoring force of the engagement main body 82 causes the second engagement protrusion 89 to be pressed by the engagement main body 82. This makes it difficult for the engagement components 80 to come loose. In the above description, an example is described in which the tip of the second engagement protrusion 89 enters the recess 83, but this example is not limiting.

[0047] By fitting the engaging parts 80 together in this way, as shown in FIG. 1, the length by which the first protruding end 21 and the second protruding end 22 protrude from the carpet 40 can be reduced, thereby preventing the protruding ends 21, 22 from sagging.

[0048] Preferably, the engaging parts 80 may be engaged with each other so that the end of the first protruding end 21 and the end of the second protruding end 22 face toward the carpet 40. For example, the first protruding end 21 and the second protruding end 22 are bent into a U-shape, and the distal end portions of the first protruding end 21 and the second protruding end 22 relative to the folded-back portions are temporarily fixed together with the engaging parts 80. This causes the end of the first protruding end 21 and the end of the second protruding end 22 to face toward the carpet 40. Preferably, the end of the first protruding end 21 and the end of the second protruding end 22 are positioned within the carpet 40. This makes it easier for the connectors at the ends of the protruding ends 21, 22 to be protected on the carpet 40.

[0049] In this way, the first protruding end 21 and the second protruding end 22 are prevented from sagging, thereby preventing the protruding ends 21, 22 from being dragged on the ground or the vehicle body 1.

[0050] <Fixing of engaging parts 80 to support target portion 100 of vehicle body 1> When the engaging parts 80 and the support target portion 100 are fixed to each other, the engaging parts 80 (80a, 80b) move relative to the support target portion 100, as shown in Fig. 5 . Then, the convex portion 81 of the engaging part 80 is fixed to the engaging part fixing portion 103 of the support target portion 100. In this embodiment, the convex portion 81 is fixed to the support target portion 100 with the engaging part fixing portion 103 positioned between the convex portion 81 and the extension portion 86. The thickness of the plate-shaped engaging part fixing portion 103 may be the same as or slightly greater than the height between the convex portion 81 and the extension portion 86.

[0051] The engaging part fixing portion 103 advances between the convex portion 81 and the extension portion 86. When the second engaging protrusion 89 reaches the tip of the engaging part fixing portion 103, the convex portion 81 elastically deforms in a direction away from the extension portion 86. This allows the second engaging protrusion 89 to fit between the convex portion 81 and the extension portion 86. When the second engaging protrusion 89 reaches the second engaging hole 101 formed in the engaging part fixing portion 103, the second engaging protrusion 89 enters the second engaging hole 101. The convex portion 81 then elastically returns to its original shape. This engages the second engaging protrusion 89 with the second engaging hole 101. Note that because the extension portion 86 extends parallel to the convex portion 81 at a distance, the extension portion 86 pushes the engaging part fixing portion 103 toward the convex portion 81. This allows the convex portion 81 to be stably fixed to the supported object 100.

[0052] That is, in the relationship between the convex portion 81 and the concave portion 83, the convex portion 81 fits into the concave portion, thereby maintaining the state in which the first engaging protrusion 88 fits into the first engaging hole 87. In the relationship between the convex portion 81 and the engaging component fixing portion 103, the extension portion 86 supports the engaging component fixing portion 103 toward the convex portion 81, thereby maintaining the state in which the second engaging protrusion 89 engages with the second engaging hole 101.

[0053] Because the height of the first engaging protrusion 88 is lower than that of the second engaging protrusion 89, the protrusion 81 can be easily removed from the recess 83. Conversely, because the second engaging protrusion 89 is higher than the first engaging protrusion 88, the protrusion 81 can be firmly fixed to the engaging part fixing portion 103.

[0054] <Others> If the wiring members 20 are bundled using adhesive tape, such as optional tape, instead of the above-described engaging part 80 for temporary fastening during transport, the removed tape is discarded when the temporary fastening is no longer needed. This results in waste every time the wiring member-attached carpet 45 is transported. Even if the wiring members 20 are bundled using hook-and-loop fasteners for temporary fastening, it is difficult to completely recover the hook-and-loop fasteners after use. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the hook-and-loop fasteners will stick to the carpet 40. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the hook-and-loop fasteners will cause the carpet 40 to become frayed. In contrast, if the wiring members 20 are bundled using the engaging part 80 as in this embodiment, the engaging part 80 can also be used to attach the wiring members 20 to the vehicle body 1, thereby reducing waste.

[0055] <Effects of the embodiment> The wiring-attached carpet 45 configured as described above includes a first engaging part 80a that is fixed to the first protruding end 21 and has a convex part 81, and a second engaging part 80b that is fixed to the second protruding end 22 and has a concave part 83 into which the convex part 81 can fit. The convex part 81 is formed in a shape that allows it to be fixed to the support target 100 that is supported by the vehicle body 1, so that the first engaging part 80a and the second engaging part 80b are temporarily fixed together by fitting the convex part 81 into the concave part 83. This temporarily fixes the first engaging part 80a and the second engaging part 80b when the carpet 40 is being transported, thereby preventing the wiring 20 that protrudes from the carpet 40 from sagging. Furthermore, when the convex part 81 is released from the concave part 83, the first engaging part 80a and the second engaging part 80b are released from their respective fixations, and the convex part 81 is fixed to the support target 100 that is supported by the vehicle body 1. Therefore, the structure for preventing the wiring members 20 from sagging and the structure for fixing the wiring members 20 to the vehicle body 1 are shared. Therefore, the structure can be simplified so that the plurality of wiring members 20 can be temporarily fixed to each other and can also be fixed to the vehicle body 1.

[0056] The first engaging part 80a and the second engaging part 80b each have a protrusion 81 and a recess 83, and the first engaging part 80a and the second engaging part 80b have the same shape. This allows the first engaging part 80a and the second engaging part 80b to be used as a common engaging part 80, thereby reducing the number of types of parts.

[0057] Furthermore, the protruding direction of the convex portion 81 is a direction along the longitudinal direction A of the attachment target portion 23 of the wiring member 20, and the extending direction of the concave portion 83 is a direction along the longitudinal direction A of the attachment target portion 23 of the wiring member 20. As a result, the convex portion 81 is inserted into the concave portion 83 in a direction along the longitudinal direction A of the attachment target portion 23. Therefore, the longitudinal direction A of the attachment target portion 23 on the first engaging part 80a side and the attachment target portion 23 on the second engaging part 80b side are aligned. The first protruding end portion 21 and the second protruding end portion 22 can be easily arranged compactly.

[0058] Furthermore, the convex portion 81 further has a first engaging protrusion 88, and the concave portion 83 has a first engaging hole 87 with which the first engaging protrusion 88 engages. As a result, the first engaging protrusion 88 engages with the first engaging hole 87, so that the engagement between the convex portion 81 and the concave portion 83 is unlikely to come loose.

[0059] Furthermore, the extension portion 86 extends parallel to and spaced apart from the protrusion 81 on the opposite side of the fitting opening 84 from the engagement main body 82. The protrusion 81 is fixed to the support target portion 100 with the support target portion 100 positioned between the protrusion 81 and the extension portion 86. This allows the first engaging part 80a and the second engaging part 80b to be temporarily fixed by fitting the protrusion 81 into the recess 83. The support target portion 100 can be fixed using the protrusion 81 and the extension portion 86. This allows the recess 83 and the support target portion 100 to have different configurations. For example, the support target portion 100 can be easily formed into a simple plate shape rather than a shape that can fit the protrusion 81. This makes it easy to form the support target portion 100 from a metal plate or the like.

[0060] The protruding portion 81 further includes a first engaging protrusion 88 that engages with a first engaging hole 87 formed in the recessed portion 83 and a second engaging protrusion 89 that engages with a second engaging hole 101 formed in the support target portion 100. The second engaging protrusion 89 is formed in a position facing the extension portion 86, and the first engaging protrusion 88 is a lower protrusion than the second engaging protrusion 89. As a result, since the first engaging protrusion 88 is a lower protrusion than the second engaging protrusion 89, the first engaging protrusion 88 and the first engaging hole 87 are easily disengaged from each other. This makes it easy to release the provisionally solid state. The second engaging protrusion 89, which has a high protrusion, can firmly fix the protruding portion 81 to the support target portion 100. Therefore, the wiring member 20 can be firmly fixed to the vehicle body 1. Since the second engaging protrusion 89 is formed in a position opposite the extension portion 86, the extension portion 86 keeps the support target portion 100 in a position close to the convex portion 81, making it easier to keep the second engaging protrusion 89 engaged with the second engaging hole portion 101.

[0061] Furthermore, the first engaging part 80a or the second engaging part 80b has a first extension part 91 that extends further from the extension part 86, and a second extension part 92 that extends from the end part 80Q of the engaging main body part 82 that is opposite to the end part 80P from which the extension part 86 extends. This allows the first extension part 91 and the second extension part 92 to be used as fixing parts for the wiring member 20. For example, the first extension part 91 and the second extension part 92 are fixed to the wiring member 20 with a fixing member such as tape.

[0062] <Modification of the Embodiment> FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an engaging part 280 according to a modification.

[0063] The engaging part 280 of this modified example differs from the engaging part 80 in that the convex part 281 does not have the second engaging protrusion 89 .

[0064] The supported portion 200 of this modified example also has a support-side engaging protrusion 289. The support-side engaging protrusion 289 may be formed, for example, by partially shearing and bending the plate-shaped engaging component fixing portion 203. The support-side engaging protrusion 289 fits into the first engaging hole 87 of the recess 83. This causes the support-side engaging protrusion 289 and the first engaging hole 87 to engage with each other.

[0065] In this modified example, the first engagement hole 87 can be used for both the first engagement protrusion 88 and the support-side engagement protrusion 289. Therefore, it is possible to omit the second engagement hole 101 formed in the supported portion 100. Furthermore, in this modified example, it is not necessary for the engagement component fixing portion 203 to be located between the convex portion 81 and the extension portion 86, so it is also possible to omit the extension portion 86.

[0066] In this modification, the support target portion 200 can also be used as a component for supporting the recess 83 of the engaging component 80 in the embodiment.

[0067] According to the carpet 245 with wiring member that is equipped with the above-described engaging part 280, the recess 83 is formed in a shape that allows it to be fixed to the support target part 200 that is supported by the vehicle body 1, so that the recess 83 is fixed to the support target part 200 that is supported by the vehicle body 1.

[0068] In the above embodiment and modified examples, the first engaging protrusion 88 is formed in the convex portion 81 and the first engaging hole 87 is formed in the concave portion 83, but the convex-concave relationship of the engaging portions may be reversed. For example, an engaging hole may be formed in the convex portion 81, and an engaging protrusion that engages with the engaging hole may be formed in the concave portion.

[0069] The configurations described in the above embodiments can be modified as appropriate as long as they are not mutually inconsistent.
