Electric junction box
View Patent ↗An electric junction box has a binding band fitting hole, and two through holes through which a binding band for securing wire harnesses which are arranged along a lower face of a bottom wall of the binding band fitting hole are provided on the bottom wall so as to be positioned at both sides of the wire harnesses. When the wire harnesses are secured, a tip end of the binding band is inserted into one of the two through holes from a lower side of the bottom wall, the tip end of the binding band which has been exposed to an upper side of the bottom wall is U-turned in a downward direction to be inserted into the other of the two through holes, and then, the tip end of the binding band which has been exposed to the lower side of the bottom wall is locked to a lock part provided at a base end of the binding band, thereby to secure the wire harnesses to the lower face of the bottom wall. An upper face of a part of the bottom wall between the two through holes is formed as an arc-shaped wall which is curved upward in a convex shape, whereby a convex arc-shaped face and a concave arc-shaped face are formed on upper and lower faces of the bottom wall between the two through holes.
1. An electric junction box comprising:
a binding band fitting hole, two through holes through which a binding band for securing a wire harness which is arranged along a lower face of a bottom wall of said binding band fitting hole being provided on said bottom wall so as to be positioned at both sides of the wire harness,
wherein when said wire harness is secured, a tip end of said binding band is inserted into one of said two through holes from a lower side of said bottom wall, the tip end of said binding band which has been exposed to an upper side of said bottom wall is U-turned in a downward direction, and inserted into the other of said two through holes, and then, the tip end of said binding band which has been exposed to the lower side of said bottom wall is locked to a lock part provided at a base end of said binding band below said wire harness, thereby to secure said wire harness to the lower face of said bottom wall,
wherein an upper face of said bottom wall between said two through holes is formed as a convex curved face which is curved in a convex shape in a direction substantially perpendicular to said bottom wall including said two through holes, whereby an inner side wall face of an upper inlet of at least the other of said two through holes is formed as an inclined guide face for guiding the tip end of said binding band into at least the other of said two through holes.
2. An electric junction box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an outer side wall face of the upper inlet of at least the other of said two through holes is formed as an inclined face for guiding the tip end of said binding band into at least the other of said two through holes.
3. An electric junction box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lower face of said bottom wall between said two through holes is formed as a concave curved face which is curved in a concave shape in a direction substantially perpendicular to said bottom wall including the two through holes.
4. An electric junction box as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said bottom wall between said two through holes is formed as an arc-shaped wall which is curved in a convex shape upward in a direction substantially perpendicular to said bottom wall including the two through holes, whereby the upper face of said bottom wall between said two through holes is formed as a convex arc-shaped face and the lower face of said bottom wall between said two through holes is formed as a concave arc-shaped face.
