Abstract
A wire harness fixing structure includes; a silencer disposed between a floor mat and a body in a vehicle; a wire harness disposed along a main surface of the silencer; and a fixing member fixing the wire harness to the silencer. A bottomed hole having a bottom is formed in the silencer to be concaved from the main surface in a thickness direction. The fixing member is locked to the bottomed hole, thereby fixing the wire harness to the silencer.
Claims7
A wire harness fixing structure, comprising:
- a silencer disposed between a floor mat and a body in a vehicle;
- a wire harness disposed along a main surface of the silencer;
- a fixing member fixing the wire harness to the silencer, wherein
- a bottomed hole having a bottom is formed in the silencer to be concaved from the main surface in a thickness direction, and
- the fixing member is locked to the bottomed hole, thereby fixing the wire harness to the silencer;
- wherein
- the silencer includes a silencer body part and a locking member which is formed of a material having higher rigidity than the silencer body part,
- the locking member being integral with the silencer body part, and
- the locking member having the bottomed hole, wherein a bottom wall of the locking member provides the bottom of the bottomed hole, and wherein
- a surface of the bottom wall is covered with the silencer body part.
A wire harness fixing structure, comprising:
- a silencer disposed between a floor mat and a body in a vehicle;
- a wire harness disposed along a main surface of the silencer;
- a fixing member fixing the wire harness to the silencer, wherein
- a bottomed hole having a bottom is formed in the silencer to be concaved from the main surface in a thickness direction, and
- the fixing member is locked to the bottomed hole, thereby fixing the wire harness to the silencer;
- and
- the silencer includes a silencer body part and a locking member which is formed of a material having higher rigidity than the silencer body part,
- the locking member being integral with the silencer body part, and the locking member having the bottomed hole, wherein
- the locking member includes a shaft extending from one end portion exposed to a side of the main surface of the silencer body part toward an inner side of the silencer body part, the shaft having the bottomed hole formed therein and a retaining part linking to another end portion of the shaft to prevent the shaft from getting out of the silencer body part, and
- the fixing member has an insertion part formed into a rod-like shape to be inserted into and locked to the bottomed hole formed in the shaft and an insertion regulating part formed on a base end of the insertion part to regulate a further insertion of the insertion part into the bottomed hole.
