[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a wire harness fixture for use in assembling a wire harness, in which a large number of electric wires are bundled, to a vehicle body.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as a wire harness attaching means for attaching the above-mentioned wire harness to a vehicle body, there is one as shown in FIG. That is, 1 is a wire harness in which a large number of electric wires 2 are cut into desired lengths and shaped into a predetermined shape, and these electric wires 2 are bundled by, for example, taping. An appropriate connector 3 is connected to the tip of the furnace 1. This wire harness 1 is shaped in a complicated shape so that it can be installed in a narrow space of an automobile, and as a means for holding this shaping and mounting it on the vehicle body, the wire harness 1 The clip member 4 was attached to the important place.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since a large number of clip members 4 used as means for attaching the wire harness 1 to the vehicle body must be attached at predetermined intervals over the entire length of the wire harness 1, a large number of clip members are attached to the wire harness 1. There was a problem that it took a lot of time and effort to attach it to No. 1. In addition, when fixing a large number of clip members 4 to the wire harness 1 that has been once shaped, the shaping is broken and positioning work when mounting the wire harness to the vehicle body in a later step becomes difficult. There was also.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and a protector having a shape-retaining property, for example, a metal wire rod or a bar member and a mounting portion to the vehicle body is prepared, A wire harness vehicle body that facilitates the installation work of the wire harness to the vehicle body by laying a number of wires together and bundling them with the protector, or shaping the wires together with the protector after bundling To provide a fixture to.

【Example】

 The present invention will be described in detail below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 11 denotes a fitting according to the present embodiment. The fitting 11 is, for example, a metallic wire 12 shaped into a desired shape and having shape retention, and the wire 1. Mounting holes 13 for mounting the wire 12 on the vehicle body (not shown) are formed at both ends of the wire 2.

The fixture 11 thus formed is prepared in advance, and the wire bundle 14 is preliminarily shaped along the wire 12 of the fixture 11 so as to correspond to the shape of the fixture 11. A wire harness 15 shaped as shown in FIG. 3 can be obtained by additionally attaching a wire harness and taping the wire bundle 14 and the wire 12 together. Reference numeral 16 denotes a connector housing connected to the tip of the bundle of electric wires 14. Further, although the wire rod 12 is described in the above description, it may be a rod member.

As described above, when a large number of electric wires 14 are bundled to shape a wire harness, the electric wire bundle is formed along the fixture formed by the shape-retaining wire 12 that has been shaped (formed) in advance. By taping along the wire, the shape retention of the wire harness can be secured. Further, since the mounting holes 13 to the vehicle body are formed at both ends of the mounting tool 11 and are fixed to the vehicle body 18 etc. by the mounting screws 17 which are inserted into the mounting holes 13, the mounting hole 13 according to the present embodiment. For example, unlike the conventional case, the troublesome work of attaching the clip member to the proper position of the wire harness becomes unnecessary, and the workability is improved.

In the above embodiment, the preliminarily shaped mounting tool 11 is used, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a linear material or a bar material 12 is formed of a flexible material. A fixture having mounting holes 13 at both ends of the wire rod or rod 12 is provided, and a large number of electric wires 14 are attached along the wire rod or rod 12 and then the wire rod is formed by taping. After the rod 12 and the electric wire 14 are bundled, the electric wire bundle may be bent and shaped into a predetermined shape together with the wire or the rod 12. In the case of this embodiment, there is a feature that the shape can be easily modified.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the attachment portion 13 for attaching the wire harness to the vehicle body is provided at an appropriate position of the wire rod or the rod body that holds the shaping of the bundle of wires along the multiple wires 14. Since it is provided in advance, the work of retrofitting a large number of clip members, unlike the conventional example, becomes unnecessary, and the workability of assembling the wire harness is greatly improved. In addition, the wire rod or rod 12 is made of a material having excellent shape-retaining property, so that the shape-retaining property can be secured over the entire length of the long wire harness, and the supporting position of the wire harness is small. ..

[0011]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the wire rod or rod 12 made of a material excellent in shape retention is provided with the attachment portion 13 to the vehicle body at a proper position, and a large number of electric wire bundles are provided along the wire rod or rod 12. Since there is a fixture for attaching the wire harness to the vehicle body, which holds 14 together, it eliminates the need for post-installing a large number of clip members as in the conventional example, and the work for assembling the wire harness is eliminated. Sex is greatly improved. Further, by using a material having excellent shape retention property for the wire rod or the rod body 12, it is possible to secure the retaining property over the entire length of the long wire harness, and it is possible to obtain the effect that the supporting position is small.
