Abstract

An object is to mount a harness protector on a circular-sectional-shaped reinforcing member stably in a space-saving manner. A protector into which a wiring harness is inserted is arranged on a top portion of a circular-sectional-shaped horizontal reinforcing member at a vehicle side along a longitudinal direction of the reinforcing member. A curved bottom surface formed on a bottom of the protector is engaged with a curved top surface of the reinforcing member. A locking clamp projected from the bottom is engaged with a hole of the reinforcing member. A notch portion communicated with the curved bottom surface and a bracket positioned at an upper side of the notch portion are provided on a sidewall of the protector. A receiving bracket of the reinforcing member is engaged with the notch portion, and the bracket is screwed and fixed to the receiving bracket. A bottom surface of a ground terminal is exposed in a bottom surface of the bracket, and the bottom surface of the ground terminal abuts on the conductive receiving bracket at the same time as the bracket is screwed and fixed.

Claims (8)

1. A mounting structure of a wiring harness comprising:

a protector into which the wiring harness is inserted, arranged on an upper portion of a circular-sectional-shaped horizontal on-vehicle reinforcing member along a longitudinal direction of the reinforcing member;

a curved concave portion formed on a bottom of the protector, engaged with a curved top surface of the reinforcing member; and

a locking clamp projected on the bottom, engaged with a hole of the reinforcing member,

wherein a notch portion communicated with the curved concave portion, and a bracket positioned at an upper side of the notch portion are provided on a sidewall of the protector, a receiving bracket of the reinforcing member is engaged with the notch portion, and the bracket is screwed and fixed to the receiving bracket.

2. The mounting structure of a wiring harness as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein a bottom surface of a ground terminal of the wiring harness is exposed in a bottom surface of the bracket, and the bottom surface of the ground terminal abuts on the conductive receiving bracket at the same time as the bracket is screwed and fixed.

3. The mounting structure of a wiring harness as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a projecting portion of the protector is bent and projected parallel from the reinforcing member, and a curved bottom surface of a second bracket provided on the projecting portion opposite to a projecting direction is engaged with the curved top surface of the reinforcing member.
