Grommet and wire harness with grommet

摘要

A grommet includes a wire harness insertion portion, and an annular projecting portion that is made of an elastic material and projects outward from the wire harness insertion portion, the annular projecting portion being provided with an annular locking recess arranged at an outer circumferential portion of the annular projecting portion, a receiving-side annular portion arranged on one side of the annular locking recess, with respect to an axial direction of the wire harness insertion portion, and an insertion-side annular portion arranged on the other side of the annular locking recess, with respect to the axial direction of the wire harness insertion portion. The outer circumferential portion of the insertion-side annular portion on the annular locking recess side is provided with projections that are formed at portions in the circumferential direction of the insertion-side annular portion. The projections are each provided with a slant surface and a panel facing surface.

主权项

1. A grommet that is attachable to a through hole formed in a vehicle body panel in a condition in which the grommet has been attached to a wire harness, the grommet comprising:
a wire harness insertion portion having a tubular shape through which the wire harness is insertable; and an annular projecting portion that is made of an elastic material and projects outward from the wire harness insertion portion, the annular projecting portion including:
an annular locking recess to which an inner circumferential edge portion of the through hole in the vehicle body panel can be fitted, the annular locking recess being arranged at an outer circumferential portion of the annular projecting portion,a receiving-side annular portion arranged on one side of the annular locking recess, with respect to an axial direction of the wire harness insertion portion, andan insertion-side annular portion arranged on the other side of the annular locking recess, with respect to the axial direction of the wire harness insertion portion, wherein the outer circumferential portion of the insertion-side annular portion on the annular locking recess side includes projections that are formed at portions in the circumferential direction of the insertion-side annular portion, the projections each include a slant surface that inclines outward as it extends toward the annular locking recess in the axial direction of the wire harness insertion portion and a panel facing surface that defines an acute angle together with the slant surface and faces the annular locking recess, an inner circumferential portion of the insertion-side annular portion includes a recess that is recessed toward the outer circumferential portion of the insertion side annular portion and reduces the thickness of a portion of the projections that is located on the other side of the panel facing surface, with respect to the axial direction of the wire harness insertion portion, wherein the insertion-side annular portion is formed in a shape in which a plurality of annular projections that successively become larger toward the annular locking recess are connected to each other via an annular recess, and the projections are each formed on an outer circumference of the insertion-side annular portion in a shape of an elongate projection that extends in the axial direction of the wire harness insertion portion while filling the annular recess.
