Wire-harness mounting structure

Abstract

A wire-harness mounting structure for mounting wire harnesses of several types with different diameters by making effective use of, for example, a recessed portion between air duct partition walls in an instrument panel of an automobile. By making use of a recessed portion (23) which is located between duct partition walls of an air duct (20) provided in an instrument panel of a vehicle, a harness resilient retaining portion (30) is integrally fixed in the recessed portion (23). A slit (31) is provided in the harness resilient retaining portion (30) in such a manner as to extend from one end side toward the other end side thereof. Each of wire harnesses (40 to 43) of several types with different diameters is resiliently clamped through one-touch fitting in a stepped portion of several stepped portions (32 to 34) of the slit whose slit widths (B1 to B3) become consecutively smaller.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
