Abstract
A clip and a wire harness equipped with a clip are provided that can restrain the clip from readily falling down from an electrical wire bundle, can be easily mounted on the bundle, and can reduce a protruding amount of the clip from the bundle to as small as possible. A clip includes an inserting section to be inserted into an attaching hole in a vehicle body, and a holding section for holding an electrical wire bundle. The holding section includes a projection portion that protrudes from the inserting section, and distal end spreading portions that spread from a distal end of the projection portion toward spaces at opposite sides of the projection portion. The distal end spreading portions are curved in convex shapes in a distal end direction of the projection portion as a whole.
Claims7
A clip comprising a fixing section configured to be secured to a vehicle body and a holding section configured to hold an electrical wire bundle;
- said holding section including:
- a planar projection portion projecting from the fixing section;
- a pair of opposite facing, arcuate shaped distal end spreading portions that each extend from a distal end of said projection portion toward a proximal end of said projection portion on opposite sides of said projection portion, said distal end spreading portions being curved in convex shapes in a distal end direction of said projection portion as a whole;
- and
- a pair of opposite facing, arcuate shaped proximal end spreading portions that each extend from said proximal end of said projection portion toward said distal end of said projection portion on said opposite sides of said projection portion.
