Abstract

A sliding type clamp includes a clamp fixing part adapted to be fixed to a stud bolt, and a clamp body adapted to clamp an objected member. The clamp fixing part and the clamp body are integrally formed. The clamp fixing part has a first sliding structure which slides along a direction perpendicular to an axis of the stud bolt. The clamp body has a second sliding structure which slides with respect to the objected member along a longitudinal direction of the objected member.

Claims (24)

1. A sliding type clamp comprising:

a clamp fixing part fixed to a stud bolt; and

a clamp body clamped to an objected member,

wherein the clamp fixing part and the clamp body are integral with each other;

wherein the clamp fixing part has a first sliding structure which slides along a direction perpendicular to an axis of the stud bolt; and

wherein the clamp body has a second sliding structure which allows the clamp body to continuously slide with respect to the objected member along a longitudinal direction of the objected member in a final assembled configuration.

2. The sliding type clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the clamp fixing part is integrally formed on an intermediate portion of a side part of the clamp body in the longitudinal direction; and

wherein cover parts projected from both ends of the side part of the clamp body protect the clamp fixing part.

3. The sliding type clamp according to claim 2 , wherein the cover parts are formed into streamlined shape, and have parts whose positions are lower than a lower part of the clamp fixing part.

4. The sliding type clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the first sliding structure includes a fixing part base and a clamp seat which moves along a direction perpendicular to an axis of insertion of the stud bolt with respect to the fixing part base; and

wherein the clamp seat has a stud clamp which fixes the stud bolt.

5. The sliding type clamp according to claim 4 , wherein the clamp seat has an accommodating space; and

wherein the stud clamp is accommodated in the accommodating space of the clamp seat.

6. The sliding type clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the first sliding structure comprises:

a fixing part base, and

a clamp seat which is received in an accommodating space so as to be movable to approach or separate from the clamp body along a direction perpendicular to an axis of insertion of the stud bolt with respect to the fixing part base,

wherein the clamp seat comprises a stud clamp which fixes the stud bolt.

7. The sliding type clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the clamp fixing part is immovably fixed to the stud bolt.

8. A clamp unit comprising:

the sliding type clamp according to claim 1 which is slidably assembled to the objected member; and

a fixed type clamp which is assembled to the objected member in a fixed state.

9. The clamp unit according to claim 8 , wherein the objected member is an outer member of a wire harness having a pipe shape; and

wherein a sliding regulating part for regulating a sliding movement of the sliding type clamp is provided on an outer surface of the outer member.

10. The clamp unit according to claim 9 , wherein the sliding regulating part is formed of a tape wounded on the outer surface of the outer member.
