## Abstract

Provided is a cable holding tool capable of reducing a size of a gap formed at a portion where soft members are sandwiching a cable to thereby increase air-tightness thereat. First sealing members (26a, 26b) having fluffs are attached to a first opposing surface of a soft member (25). Second sealing members (29a, 29b) having fluffs are attached to second opposing surfaces of soft members (28a, 28b). When a cable (17) is sandwiched between the first sealing members (26a, 26b) and the second sealing members (29a, 29b), the fluffs of the first sealing members (26a, 26b) and the fluffs of the second sealing members (29a, 29b) are in contact with each other.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cable holding tool for holding a cable passing through a wiring opening, the cable holding tool comprising:
a soft member having first and second opposing surfaces, said soft member comprises a porous foam and is configured for attachment to the wiring opening;
a first sealing member having a fluff and attached to the first opposing surface; and
a second sealing member having a fluff and attached to the second opposing surface,
wherein when a cable is sandwiched between the first sealing member and the second sealing member, the soft member making an elastic deformation while the fluff of the first sealing member and the fluff of the second sealing member are in contact with each other.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The cable holding tool according to claim 1, wherein each of the first and second sealing members has a pile yarn as the fluff, and a base fabric for supporting the pile yarn.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The cable holding tool according to claim 1, wherein the soft member includes a first soft member having the first opposing surface, and a second soft member having the second opposing surface.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The cable holding tool according to claim 1, wherein the first opposing surface has a first planar part and a second planar part orthogonal to the first planar part,
the second opposing surface has a third planar part parallel to the first planar part, and a fourth planar part inclined with respect to the third planar part.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The cable holding tool according to claim 3 further comprising:
a first support member for supporting the first soft member and being harder than the first soft member; and
a second support member for supporting the second soft member and being harder than the second soft member.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The cable holding tool according to claim 4, wherein the fluff of the first sealing member attached to the first planar part and the fluff of the second sealing member attached to the third planar part are in contact with each other.

### Claim 7 (depends on 4)

The cable holding tool according to claim 4, wherein the fluff of the first sealing member attached to the second planar part and the fluff of the second sealing member attached to the fourth planar part are in contact with each other.
