Door hole seal for automobile
A door hole seal is provided between an inner panel and a door trim of an automobile door. The door hole seal comprises a slit mechanism used to pull out a wire harness from an outer-cabin side to an inner-cabin side or from the inner-cabin side to the outer-cabin side. The slit mechanism comprises a first slit extending up and down with respect to the main sheet and a circular hole formed at a lower end of the first slit. The circular hole has a diameter that is identical to or slightly smaller than that of a wire harness, and is arranged to receive the wire harness.
1. A door hole seal provided between an inner panel and a door trim of an automobile door, the door hole seal comprising:
a slit mechanism used to pull out a wire harness from an outer-cabin side to an inner-cabin side or from the inner-cabin side to the outer-cabin side, wherein the slit mechanism comprises a first slit extending up and down with respect to a main sheet and a circular hole formed at a lower end of the first slit, the circular hole having a diameter that is identical to or slightly smaller than the diameter of a wire harness, the circular hole being arranged to receive the wire harness,
wherein the circular hole passes through the main sheet and has a diameter that increases in reverse-tapered manner from the outer-cabin side to the inner-cabin side or from the inner-cabin side to the outer-cabin side, and
wherein the main sheet has a configuration of a double layered cross section, one layer of which having the specific gravity smaller than that of the other layer and having a water absorption rate greater than that of the other layer, or having the specific gravity smaller than that of the other layer, or having the water absorption rate greater than that of the other layer.
2. The door hole seal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main sheet is made of a sound insulation sheet having specific gravity of 0.05-0.4.
3. The door hole seal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the circular hole provided in the double layered main sheet passes through the main sheet, the circular hole having the diameter that radially increases in the reverse-tapered manner from the one layer to the other layer, the one layer having the smaller specific gravity and the greater water absorption rate than the other layer, or having the smaller specific gravity than the other layer, or having the greater water absorption rate than the other layer.
