Wire harness protector

摘要

A splice housing projects from a bottom wall in a space on a side portion of a main pathway of a wire harness, the main pathway being bounded by the bottom wall and a circumferential wall of a main body of a protector. The splice housing includes dividing walls projecting at predetermined intervals and a sealing wall at one end of the dividing walls. A plurality of splice housing chambers are provided in alignment between the dividing walls. A side opposite the sealing wall of each of the splice housing chambers forms an opening for insertion. Each of the splice housing chambers has a height capable of accommodating splices on at least two vertical levels. Of the splices branching from the wire harness, splices having a splice sheet wrapped around an outer circumferential surface thereof and splices covered by an insulating resin cap are accommodated vertically adjacent.

主权项

1. A wire harness protector for covering a wire harness routed in a vehicle, the protector comprising:
a main body having a bottom wall and a circumferential wall projecting from a circumferential edge of the bottom wall, the circumferential wall including an inlet and an outlet for the wire harness; a lid covering an opening in a top surface of the main body; and a splice housing provided in a portion of the bottom wall that is adjacent to part of the circumferential wall, a main pathway for accommodating the wire harness being defined at least partially by the bottom wall, a side wall of the splice housing and the circumferential wall of the main body, wherein the splice housing further includes dividing walls, each having a first and second end, projecting from the bottom wall at predetermined intervals and a connecting wall positioned at the first ends of the dividing walls, a plurality of splice housing chambers are provided in alignment between the dividing walls, a side opposite the connecting wall of each of the splice housing chambers forms an opening for insertion, and each of the splice housing chambers has a height capable of accommodating splices on at least two vertical levels, and wherein the splice housing chambers are configured to accommodate splices branching from the wire harness including one splice having a splice sheet wrapped around an outer circumferential surface and another splice covered by an insulating resin cap being vertically adjacent.
