Abstract
A wiring jig is provided with a cable receiving area which receives cables. A crank-shaped supporting member supports a pillar which supports the cable receiving area. A pressing member having a pair of locating feet is provided with a pressing screw. Tightening the pressing screw of the pressing member fastens the supporting member to a perforated panel. Loosening the pressing screw allows the supporting member to rotate and/or slide so that the pillar can be installed at any desired position without being limited by the position of mounting holes pre-formed with a predetermined spacing in a perforated panel which receive the pair of locating feet of the pressing member.
Claims20
A fixture for fastening a wire harness assembling jig on a perforated panel in which multiple holes are formed and arranged with a predetermined spacing, said fixture comprising:
- a supporting member for supporting an assembly jig;
- and
- a pressing mechanism that secures said supporting member to the perforated panel, said pressing mechanism including a pressing member configured to press said supporting member between said pressing mechanism and the panel, said pressing member having a pair of feet that position said pressing mechanism from one side of the panel by interfitting a respective one of said pair of feet within a pair of mounting holes in close proximity to each other.
An assembly jig for assembling wire harnesses fastened on a perforated panel in which multiple holes are formed and arranged with a predetermined spacing, said jig comprising:
- predetermined parts for use in assembling the wiring harness;
- a pillar having a pointed lower end which supports the parts from a lower end;
- a supporting member that supports said pillar;
- and
- a pressing mechanism that presses and fastens said supporting member to the perforated panel, said pressing mechanism including a pressing member configured to press said supporting member between said pressing mechanism and the perforated panel, said pressing member having a pair of feet that position said pressing mechanism from one side of the panel by interfitting with a respective one of a pair of mounting holes in close proximity to each other.
A bracket assembly for mounting a wire harness jig on a base panel, said bracket assembly comprising:
- a support member for a wire harness jig;
- and
- a pressing member for connection to a panel, said pressing member having a pair of feet configured to be received in corresponding holes in the panel, and a clamping member configured to press said support member against an upper surface of the panel and cause said feet to engage a lower surface of the panel to connect said pressing member to the panel and secure said support member between said pressing member and the panel.
An apparatus comprising:
- a perforated base panel formed with a plurality of holes having a predetermined spacing;
- a bracket assembly for mounting a wire harness jig on said base panel, said bracket assembly comprising;
- a support member for the wire harness jig;
- and
- a pressing member for connection to said panel, said pressing member having a pair of feet configured to be received in corresponding ones of said holes in said panel, and a clamping member configured to press said support member against an upper surface of said panel and cause said feet to engage a lower surface of said panel to connect said pressing member to said panel and secure said support member between said pressing member and said panel.
