Abstract

Miniaturizing a protector receiving a wiring harness in height, and preventing sound noise caused by interference between a spring holder for holding the wiring harness and an inner surface of the protector, a continuous power supply device includes a wiring harness to be bent into a loop within a protector, a spring holder fixed at the loop of the wiring harness, a front end of a flat spring fixed at the spring holder to energize the loop to expand in radius, an elastic arm provided at the spring holder to be continuously and elastically in contact with inner surfaces of the protector.

Claims (25)

1. A continuous power supply device comprising:

a protector;

a wiring harness having a loop being wired by curving said wiring harness into a loop-shape within the protector;

a spring holder being fixed at said loop of the wiring harness and having an elastic arm; and

a flat spring, a front end of which is fixed at the spring holder, energizing the loop for increasing a radius of the loop,

whereby the elastic arm is continuously and elastically in contact with an inner wall of the protector.

2. The continuous power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic arm has a projection on an outer surface at an front end thereof to be in contact with the inner wall of the protector.

3. The continuous power supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic arm is formed by cutting a side wall of the spring holder partially into an arm shape.

4. The continuous power supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic arms are provided at both sides of the spring holder in a lateral direction and perpendicular to an inner wall of a base of the protector, to be respectively in contact with the inner wall of the base and an inner wall of a cover of the protector.

5. The continuous power supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic arms are provided symmetrically on mirror planes at the both sides of the spring holder.

6. The continuous power supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic arms are provided rotation symmetrically in a vertical direction at the both sides of the spring holder.

7. The continuous power supply device according to claim 3 , wherein the elastic arms are provided at both sides of the spring holder in a lateral direction and perpendicular to an inner wall of a base of the protector, to be respectively in contact with the inner wall of the base and an inner wall of a cover of the protector.

8. The continuous power supply device according to claim 3 , wherein the elastic arms are provided symmetrically on mirror planes at the both sides of the spring holder.

9. The continuous power supply device according to claim 7 , wherein the elastic arms are provided symmetrically on mirror planes at the both sides of the spring holder.

10. The continuous power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic arm is formed by cutting a side wall of the spring holder partially into an arm shape.

11. The continuous power supply device according to claim 10 , wherein the elastic arms are provided at both sides of the spring holder in a lateral direction and perpendicular to an inner wall of a base of the protector, to be respectively in contact with the inner wall of the base and an inner wall of a cover of the protector.

12. The continuous power supply device according to claim 10 , wherein the elastic arms are provided symmetrically on mirror planes at the both sides of the spring holder.

13. The continuous power supply device according to claim 10 , wherein the elastic arms are provided rotation symmetrically in a vertical direction at the both sides of the spring holder.

14. The continuous power supply device according to claim 11 , wherein the elastic arms are provided symmetrically on mirror planes at the both sides of the spring holder.

15. The continuous power supply device according to claim 11 , wherein the elastic arms are provided rotation symmetrically in a vertical direction at the both sides of the spring holder.

16. The continuous power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic arms are provided at both sides of the spring holder in a lateral direction and perpendicular to an inner wall of a base of the protector, to be respectively in contact with the inner wall of the base and an inner wall of a cover of the protector.

17. The continuous power supply device according to claim 16 , wherein the elastic arms are provided symmetrically on mirror planes at the both sides of the spring holder.

18. The continuous power supply device according to claim 16 , wherein the elastic arms are provided rotation symmetrically in a vertical direction at the both sides of the spring holder.

19. The continuous power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic arms are provided symmetrically on mirror planes at the both sides of the spring holder.

20. The continuous power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic arms are provided rotation symmetrically in a vertical direction at the both sides of the spring holder.
