Protector
A protector includes: a main body part including an accommodation part which accommodates an electric wire bundle; a cover part which is attached to the main body part and covers the accommodation part; and a clamp which is formed on the main body part and is inserted into a locking hole formed in a mounting target part to lock the mounting target part. The protector further includes a pressing piece which is formed on a side of the main body part opposite to the clamp, extends along a plane perpendicular to an axis of the clamp, and is disposed at a position laterally deviating from the axis of the clamp.
1. A protector comprising:
a main body part comprising an accommodation part which accommodates an electric wire bundle;
a cover part which is attached to the main body part and covers the accommodation part;
a clamp which is formed on the main body part and is configured to be inserted, along an axis of the clamp, into a locking hole formed in a mounting target part to lock the mounting target part, the clamp being configured to move along a rotational direction when being inserted into the locking hole; and
a pressing piece which is formed on a side of the main body part opposite to the clamp, extends along a plane perpendicular to the axis of the clamp, and is disposed at a position laterally deviating from the axis of the clamp, wherein
the main body part comprises a fixing plate part that includes a mounting hole, the fixing plate part configured to be fastened to the mounting target part via the mounting hole, and
the pressing piece, when pressed when the fixing plate part is at least provisionally fixed to the mounting target part via the mounting hole, is configured to cause the main body part to pivot around an axis extending through the mounting hole, such that the clamp is inserted into the locking hole of the mounting target part, the main body part being configured to move along the rotational direction when pivoting around the axis extending through the mounting hole.
2. The protector according to claim 1 ,
wherein the fixing plate part is configured to be fastened to the mounting target part by a bolt inserted into the mounting hole along the axis extending through the mounting hole, and
wherein the axis of the clamp is perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole.
3. The protector according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pressing piece extends in a direction parallel with the plane perpendicular to the axis of the clamp.
4. The protector according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pressing piece is inclined toward an extension direction of the clamp such that the pressing piece extends farther from the plane perpendicular to the axis of the clamp, as the pressing piece extends farther away from the axis of the clamp.
5. The protector according to claim 4 ,
wherein the pressing piece has a plate shape that is flat, and the plate shape is inclined toward the extension direction of the clamp such that the plate shape extends farther from the plane perpendicular to the axis of the clamp, as the plate shape extends farther away from the axis of the clamp.
6. The protector according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pressing piece is inclined toward a side opposite to an extension direction of the clamp such that the pressing piece extends farther from the plane perpendicular to the axis of the clamp, as the pressing piece extends farther away from the axis of the clamp.
7. The protector according to claim 6 ,
wherein the pressing piece has a plate shape that is flat, and the plate shape is inclined toward the side opposite to the extension direction of the clamp such that the plate shape extends farther from the plane perpendicular to the axis of the clamp, as the plate shape extends farther away from the axis of the clamp.
8. The protector according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pressing piece has a surface, on a side of the pressing piece opposite to an extension direction of the clamp, that is exposed from the main body part and configured to be pressed so as to cause the main body part to pivot around the axis extending through the mounting hole, such that the clamp is inserted into the locking hole of the mounting target part.
9. A protector system comprising:
a mounting target part;
a main body part comprising an accommodation part which accommodates an electric wire bundle;
a cover part which is attached to the main body part and covers the accommodation part;
a clamp which is formed on the main body part and is configured to be inserted, along an axis of the clamp, into a locking hole formed in the mounting target part to lock the mounting target part, the clamp being configured to move along a rotational direction when being inserted into the locking hole; and
a pressing piece which is formed on a side of the main body part opposite to the clamp, extends along a plane perpendicular to the axis of the clamp, and is disposed at a position laterally deviating from the axis of the clamp, wherein
the main body part comprises a fixing plate part that includes a mounting hole, the fixing plate part configured to be fastened to the mounting target part via the mounting hole, and
the pressing piece, when pressed when the fixing plate part is at least provisionally fixed to the mounting target part via the mounting hole, is configured to cause the main body part to pivot around an axis extending through the mounting hole, such that the clamp is inserted into the locking hole of the mounting target part, the main body part being configured to move along the rotational direction when pivoting around the axis extending through the mounting hole.
