Abstract

A wire protection structure includes a housing, a holder that is received in the housing through an opening of the housing, a cover that covers at least a part of the opening of the housing to define a wire-drawn port with the holder being received in the housing, and an electric wire that is drawn from the wire-drawn port. A flexible plate-shaped holder plate is provided to be extended from a surface of the holder toward the wire-drawn port. A deflection allowable space is formed between the holder plate and the housing to allow a deflection of the holder plate.

Claims (27)

1. A wire protection structure, comprising:

a housing;

a holder that is received in the housing through an opening of the housing;

a cover that covers at least a part of the opening of the housing to define a wire-drawn port with the holder being received in the housing; and

an electric wire that is drawn from the wire-drawn port, wherein:

a flexible plate-shaped holder plate is provided to be extended from a surface of the holder toward the wire-drawn port,

a plurality of housing contact portions are provided on the holder plate to be protruding toward and contacting with the housing, and

a deflection allowable space is formed between the holder plate and the housing to allow a deflection of the holder plate.

2. The wire protection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the housing contact portions are respectively arranged at both sides of the deflection allowable space.

3. The wire protection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the housing contact portions are used as a portion for preventing the holder from being rattled within the housing.

4. The wire protection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the electric wire is drawn out from the wire-drawn port in a same direction as a direction in which the holder plate extends from the surface of the holder.

5. A wire protection structure, comprising:

a housing;

a holder that is received in the housing through an opening of the housing;

a cover that covers at least a part of the opening of the housing to define a wire-drawn port with the holder being received in the housing; and

an electric wire that is drawn from the wire-drawn port, wherein:

a flexible plate-shaped holder plate is provided to be extended from a surface of the holder toward the wire-drawn port, and

a deflection allowable space is formed, in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the electric wire is drawn from the wire-drawn port, between the holder plate, when in a non-deflected state, and the housing to allow a deflection of the holder plate.

6. A wire protection structure, comprising:

a housing;

a holder that is received in the housing through an opening of the housing;

a cover that covers at least a part of the opening of the housing to define a wire-drawn port with the holder being received in the housing; and

an electric wire that is drawn from the wire-drawn port, wherein:

the holder comprises a holder body and a flexible plate-shaped holder plate is provided to be extended from a surface of the holder body toward the wire-drawn port, and

a waterproof packing is attached to an outer circumference of the holder body to fill a gap between the outer circumference of the holder body and an inner circumference of the housing in a watertight manner, whereby a deflection allowable space is formed between the holder plate and the housing to allow a deflection of the holder plate.

7. The wire protection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the holder comprises a holder body from which the holder plate extends toward the wire-drawn port such that the holder plate is disposed in the wire-drawn port, and

wherein the holder plate comprises a surface on which the electric wire bent by the holder body is placed and a back surface that opposes a wall of the housing, the deflection allowable space being formed between the back surface of the holder plate and the wall of the housing.
