The waterproofing jig fills clearances between electric wires with a sealant within a small space and readily enhances waterproofing of the clearances.
Claims8
A jig for waterproofing clearances between electric wires, wherein a sealant is fillable into clearances between a plurality of electric wires to waterproof the clearances between the electric wires, said jig comprising:
- a support body having at least two receiving chambers, each receiving chamber being configured to receive a plurality of electric wires in a juxtaposed manner;
- a plurality of nozzle holes formed in said support body for ejecting the sealant into said chambers;
- and
- an adjusting member mounted on said support body for changing an opening area of said nozzle holes.
A system for waterproofing clearances between electric wires of a wire harness formed from a plurality of electric wires, said system comprising:
- a plurality of first generally U-shaped jigs mounted on a wiring board to extend upwardly therefrom, said first jigs configured to retain first and second ends of the wire harness;
- a plurality of second generally U-shaped jigs mounted on the wiring board between said first jigs, said second jigs configured to retain a portion of the electric wires of the wire harness in a vertically spaced array;
- and
- a waterproofing jig configured to be positioned over each portion of electric wires to inject a sealant into clearances between the electric wires, said waterproofing jig comprising:
- a support body including at least two receiving chambers and a plurality of nozzle holes communicating with said receiving chambers, wherein each receiving chamber is configured to receive a respective portion of the electric wires;
- and
- an adjusting member mounted on said support body for changing an opening area of said nozzle holes.
