Abstract
A grommet includes a core that defines an aperture in a longitudinal direction, where the aperture is a straight through hole and the core is formed from a material having a first durometer. The grommet also includes a support fixed with the core, wherein the support is spaced from the aperture in a lateral direction or a normal direction orthogonal the longitudinal direction, and is formed from a material having a second durometer that is higher than the first durometer.
Claims20
A grommet comprising:
- a core that defines an aperture in a longitudinal direction, wherein the aperture is a straight through hole and the core is formed from a material having a first durometer;
- and
- a support fixed with the core, wherein the support is spaced from the aperture in a lateral direction or a normal direction orthogonal the longitudinal direction, and is formed from a material having a second durometer that is higher than the first durometer.
A grommet comprising:
- a core that defines an aperture in a longitudinal direction, wherein the aperture is a straight through hole extended through a first end surface of the core and a second end surface of the core opposite the first end surface in the longitudinal direction;
- and
- a support fixed with the core, wherein the support surrounds the core and extends from the core in a lateral direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, the support is spaced from the aperture across the core in the lateral direction, and the first end surface or the second end surface are inclined outward in the longitudinal direction from the aperture toward the support.
A grommet comprising:
- a core that defines an aperture in a longitudinal direction, wherein the aperture is a straight through hole extended through a first core end surface and a second core end surface opposite the first core end surface in the longitudinal direction;
- and
- a support integrally formed with the core, wherein the support is cylindrical and concentric with the core and extended around the core in a circumferential direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction,
- wherein the first core end surface and the second core end surface are inclined inward in the longitudinal direction from the aperture toward the support in a radial direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction.
