A grommet includes a hollow grommet main body comprising an elastic material and a protector placed in a hollow space of the grommet main body. The protector has a deep-side end portion located in a deep-side area of the hollow space, an opening-end-side end portion located in an opening-end-side area of the hollow space, and a protector-side engagement portion engaged with the grommet main body when the protector is placed in the grommet main body. The grommet main body has a grommet-main-body-side engagement portion to exert a preventive force to the protector-side engagement portion for preventing separation of the protector from the grommet main body, while eliminating a structure to exert the preventive force to the opening-end-side end portion.
1. A grommet comprising:
a hollow grommet main body comprising an elastic material; and
a protector placed in a hollow space of the grommet main body,
the protector having: a deep-side end portion located in a deep-side area of the hollow space; an opening-end-side end portion located in an opening-end-side area of the hollow space; and a protector-side engagement portion engaged with the grommet main body upon the protector being placed in the grommet main body,
the grommet main body having a grommet-main-body-side engagement portion to exert a preventive force to the protector-side engagement portion configured to prevent separation of the protector from the grommet main body without separate pressing engagement between the protector and the grommet main body at the opening-end-side end portion.
2. The grommet according to claim 1 , wherein
the hollow space of the grommet main body has a bent portion to have a bent shape,
the protector has: a first protector portion extending toward one side from the bent portion along the shape of the hollow space; and a second protector portion extending toward the other side from the bent portion along the shape of the hollow space,
the protector-side engagement portion has a rib shape connecting an outer wall surface of the first protector portion and an outer wall surface of the second protector portion.
3. The grommet according to claim 1 , wherein the protector-side engagement portion projects outward in a width direction perpendicular to an insertion direction of the protector.
4. The grommet according to claim 3 , wherein the protector-side engagement portion is formed with plural projections which are spaced from each other in the insertion direction.
