DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wire bundle holder, and more particularly, to a wire rod capable of bundling and fixing a long wire bundle such as a wire harness at a predetermined position on a panel of a vehicle body or an electric device. The present invention relates to a bundle holder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, it is known to use a binding band as a holder for fixing a wire bundle such as a wire harness at a predetermined position on a panel of a vehicle body, an electric device, or the like. , And those shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, reference numeral 1 denotes a binding band. The binding band 1 is wound around a wire harness 2 and has a band member 3 having a saw-like uneven portion 3 a formed in an extending direction. The movable piece 5 is inserted into an opening 4a formed in the panel 4 and the like.
a and 5b are brought into contact with each other to prevent the panel 4 from slipping and locking. The check locking member 5 projects from the distal end portion of the band member 3 so as to surround the check locking member 5 and a predetermined elasticity. A dish-shaped member 6 having an oscillating force;
a and a lock member 7 having an engagement claw 7b that is engaged with the saw-shaped uneven portion 3a when the band member 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 7a.

[0003] In such a binding band 1, a band member 3 is wound around a wire harness 2,
Is inserted into the insertion hole 7a and the saw-shaped uneven portion 3a is engaged with the engaging claw 7b when the diameter substantially matches the diameter of the wire harness 2, thereby absorbing the diameter of the wire harness 2 while absorbing the diameter of the wire harness 2. Hold 2 firmly. Next, when attaching the wire harness 2 to the panel 4, the non-return locking member 5 is inserted into the opening 4 a of the panel 4, and the distal ends of the movable pieces 5 a and 5 b are placed around the opening 4 a on one side of the panel 4. Contact. At this time, the dish-shaped member 6 pulls the non-return locking member 5 to the other side surface of the panel 4, thereby absorbing the thickness of the panel 4 and preventing the contact force of the non-return locking member 5 from varying. . Thus, the wire harness 2 is attached to the panel 4 by the binding band 1.

[0004] The non-return locking member 5 is designed to give a holding force of usually about 10 to 15 kg so that the wire harness 2 does not fall off the panel 4. The wire harness 2 is long, and when the wire harness 2 is attached to a vehicle body panel or the like, as shown in FIG. If there are many ties, 100 to 200 tying bands 1
May be required. In FIG. 8, reference numeral 8 denotes a connector attached to the wire harness 2, and the direction indicated by the arrow of the binding band 1 indicates the direction in which the binding band 1 is attached.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional binding band 1, when the binding band 1 is attached to the panel 4, the non-return locking member 5 comes off the panel 4 with a high holding force. There is a problem that the binding band 1 cannot be easily removed from the panel 4 because it is stopped and locked. If the binding band 1 cannot be easily removed in this way, the following problems occur. I will.

In recent years, in an environment where various product materials are recycled, for example, when recycling vehicles, it is necessary to increase the purity of iron constituting a vehicle body (panel). It is necessary to remove unnecessary metal attached to the vehicle body from the vehicle body. At this time, if the wire harness mainly using copper is still attached to the vehicle body, the purity of iron naturally decreases, which is inconvenient for recycling.

[0007] Therefore, if the binding band 1 cannot be easily removed from the panel 4 as in the conventional case, the wire harness 2 remains attached to the panel 4, which is a major factor that cannot improve the purity of the vehicle body. I will. Therefore, the present invention enables the wire bundle held by the band member to be easily detached from the panel member, thereby improving the workability of disassembling the wire bundle and the panel member, and recycling the panel member. An object of the present invention is to provide a holder for a bundle of materials capable of greatly improving the efficiency.
