Abstract
A lead line routing structure includes: a lead line having an elliptical section; a bracket having a routing surface; and a guide portion. The guide portion includes a holding wall portion having a first principal surface and a second principal surface. The holding wall portion is provided with: a lead-out hole for leading a lead line to the second principal surface; and a slit extending from an end of the holding wall portion to the lead-out hole. The width of the slit is set to be larger than the minor axis of the lead line and smaller than the major axis thereof.
Claims9
A lead line routing structure comprising:
- a lead line that has an elliptic cross section;
- a bracket that includes a routing surface on which the lead line is routed;
- and
- a guide arranged on the routing surface to guide the lead line away from the routing surface, wherein
- the guide includes a holding wall that includes a first main surface opposed to and spaced apart from the routing surface and a second main surface at a back side of the first main surface,
- the holding wall includes a guide hole, which extends through the holding wall from the first main surface to the second main surface to guide the lead line extending between the routing surface and the holding wall to the second main surface, and a slit, which extends from an end of the holding wall to the guide hole, and
- the slit has a width set to be greater than a minor axis diameter of the lead line and less than a major axis diameter of the lead line.
A sensor attachment bracket supporting a foreign material detection sensor that detects entrapment of foreign material in a motor-driven opening and closing body of a vehicle, wherein a lead line that has an elliptic cross section and is connected to the foreign material detection sensor is routed on the sensor attachment bracket, the sensor attachment bracket comprising:
- a routing surface on which the lead line is routed;
- and
- a guide arranged on the routing surface to guide the lead line away from the routing surface, wherein
- the guide includes a holding wall that includes a first main surface opposed to and spaced apart from the routing surface and a second main surface at a back side of the first main surface,
- the holding wall includes a guide hole, which extends through the holding wall from the first main surface to the second main surface to guide the lead line extending between the routing surface and the holding wall to the second main surface, and a slit, which extends from an end of the holding wall to the guide hole, and
- the slit has a width set to be greater than a minor axis diameter of the lead line and less than a major axis diameter of the lead line.
