[0004]

However, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (C), in each of the above-mentioned offset type clips 1A and 1B, when the position of the clip hole 2a of the vehicle body panel 2 cannot be moved even though there is a sufficient space when viewed from the wire harness diameter D, Since the wire harness W / H interferes with the vehicle body panel 2 (see cross hatching a), the wire harness W / H may not be routed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8D, the wire harness W / H
May interfere with another adjacent component 3 (see cross-hatching a), so that the wire harness W / H may not be routed.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wire harness clip capable of finely adjusting the clip offset amount within the range of the wire harness diameter.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a clip for fixing a wire harness to a vehicle body panel or the like according to claim 1, and a base member to be attached to the wire harness. A stem member having a clip portion that is inserted into and locked in a clip hole of a vehicle body panel or the like, a base portion extending in the diameter direction of the wire harness is provided on the base member, and the base portion has a length direction of the wire harness. The sawtoothed portions parallel to the wire harness are formed at a predetermined pitch in the diameter direction of the wire harness, while the stem member is provided with an attachment portion that is detachably fixed to the base portion of the base member and is attached to the attachment portion. A sawtooth portion is formed which engages with the sawtooth portion of the base portion, and the mesh position of the sawtooth portion of the base member and the stem member is adjusted to adjust the wire harness. Provides a clip for a wire harness, characterized in that it has a configuration that can adjust the position of the clip portion in the range of diameters.

Specifically, the base portion of the base member is formed with the saw-toothed portion on the inner surface side in contact with the wire harness and has a V-shaped concave portion extending on the outer surface side in the longitudinal direction of the base portion. While the convex portion is formed, the stem member is provided with the tubular mounting portion that is fitted onto the base portion to lock the opening, and the sawtooth portion is formed on the inner surface of one side of the mounting portion. And a V-shaped convex portion or concave portion that engages with the V-shaped concave portion or convex portion is formed on the inner surface of the other side portion, and the clip portion is provided on the outer surface. (Claim 2)

In the base member, the base portion is formed at one end of a band portion wound around a wire harness, and the base portion has a lock portion for locking a serrated locking portion formed on the band. Is provided. (Claim 3) Alternatively, the base member is composed of a pair of members each having a shape in which an annular portion attached to the wire harness is halved, and one joint end of the pair of members is connected by a thin hinge and the other joint A lock portion that locks with each other is provided at an end, the base portion is provided at a central portion of one member, and the stem member is detachably attached to the base portion. (Claim 4)

It is preferable that a scale is engraved on the side surface of the base portion of the base member so as to correspond to the serrated portion. (Claim 5)

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the clip is separated into the base member and the stem member, and the mounting portion of the stem member is fixed to the base portion of the base member attached to the wire harness. At that time, the serrated portion of the mounting portion of the stem member is engaged and fixed to the serrated portion of the base portion of the base member at a required position. By changing the fixing position of the stem member with respect to the base member, the offset amount of the clip portion of the stem member can be adjusted by the pitch of each serrated portion within the range of the wire harness diameter.

According to a second aspect, the V-shaped concave portion (or convex portion) formed in the base portion of the base member is engaged with the V-shaped convex portion (or concave portion) formed in the mounting portion of the stem member. By doing so, when the stem member is attached to the base member, the stem member cannot move and can be stably fixed, and it is possible to prevent looseness between the base member and the stem member.

When the base member is provided with the band and the band is wound around and attached to the wire harness as described in claim 3, it can be used in common regardless of the diameter of the wire harness. On the other hand, as in claim 4,
When the base member is formed in an annular shape and divided in half and a base portion is provided at the center of one of the members, and the stem member is adjusted and attached to the base portion, the offset amount of the clip portion provided on the stem member Can be set more accurately.

When the scale is formed on the side surface of the base portion of the base member as in the fifth aspect, the offset amount of the stem member can be confirmed at a glance, and the adjustment can be performed more easily.
