Abstract

A grommet includes: a water stopping part with an annular shape; a first partition wall part and a second partition wall part that form closing parts disposed on one side and the other side, respectively, of the water stopping part in an axial direction; a tubular part and a tubular part provided penetrating centers of the first partition wall part and the second partition wall part, respectively, and allowing a wiring material to be inserted thereinto; and a plurality of slit parts that divide one of the tubular parts, that is, the tubular part and the second partition wall part provided with the tubular part continuously to the water stopping part.

Claims (27)

1. A grommet comprising:

a water stopping part with an annular shape that is inserted into a penetration hole formed in an attachment panel so as to stop water;

closing parts disposed on one side and the other side, respectively, of the water stopping part in an axial direction in a manner of stretching to an inside in a radial direction of the water stopping part so as to close the annular shape of the water stopping part;

tubular parts provided penetrating centers of the closing parts, respectively, and allowing a wiring material to be inserted thereinto; and

a plurality of slit parts that divide one of the tubular parts and one of the closing parts that is provided with the one tubular part, wherein

the slit parts divide one of the tubular parts and one of the closing parts that is provided with the one tubular part into three or more continuously to the water stopping part,

the slit parts are disposed at equal intervals with the one tubular part being a center, and

another of the closing parts includes a sound insulating wall part that is formed to have an annular plate shape around a central axial line and thickness of the sound insulating wall part in the axial direction is increased locally.

2. The grommet according to claim 1 , wherein

the slit parts divide the one tubular part and the one closing part into four sections.

3. The grommet according to claim 2 , further comprising:

at least one pipe member provided penetrating the other closing part, wherein

at least one of the slit parts is formed surrounding the pipe member.

4. The grommet according to claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one pipe member provided penetrating the other closing part, wherein

at least one of the slit parts is formed surrounding the pipe member.

5. A wire harness comprising:

a wiring material with conductivity; and

a grommet provided to the wiring material, wherein

the grommet includes:

a water stopping part with an annular shape that is inserted into a penetration hole formed in an attachment panel so as to stop water;

closing parts disposed on one side and the other side, respectively, of the water stopping part in an axial direction in a manner of stretching to an inside in a radia direction of the water stopping part so as to close the annular shape of the water stopping part;

tubular parts provided penetrating centers of the closing parts, respectively, and allowing a wiring material to be inserted thereinto; and

a plurality of slit parts that divide one of the tubular parts and one of the closing parts that is provided with the one tubular part, wherein

the slit parts divide one of the tubular parts and one of the closing parts that is provided with the one tubular part into three or more continuously to the water stopping part,

the slit parts are disposed at equal intervals with the one tubular part being a center, and

another of the closing parts includes a sound insulating wall part that is formed to have an annular plate shape around a central axial line and thickness of the sound insulating wall part in the axial direction is increased locally.
