Abstract

A seal structure for a multicore cable includes a multicore cable in which a first electrical wire to a fourth electrical wire are enveloped by a sheath, a rubber plug that is fitted around an end portion of the sheath and has through-holes through which the electrical wires respectively pass, and a holder having a sheath holding portion configured to hold the sheath and suppress shifting of a position of the sheath relative to the multicore cable, in which the holder has locking portion portions configured to hold the rubber plug and suppress movement of the rubber plug in a direction in which the rubber plug comes off from the end portion of the sheath.

Claims (16)

1. A seal structure for a multicore cable, comprising:

a multicore cable in which a plurality of electrical wires are enveloped by a sheath;

a rubber plug that is fitted around an end portion of the sheath, the rubber plug has a plurality of through-holes through which the plurality of electrical wires respectively pass;

a cap that is fitted around the rubber plug, the cap including a plurality of lead-out holes in which the plurality of electrical wires respectively extend out from; and

a holder having a sheath holding portion configured to hold the sheath and suppress shifting of a position of the sheath relative to the multicore cable,

wherein the holder has a rubber plug holding portion configured to hold the rubber plug and suppress movement of the rubber plug in a direction in which the rubber plug comes off from the end portion of the sheath.

2. The seal structure for a multicore cable according to claim 1 ,

wherein movement of the rubber plug in a direction in which the rubber plug comes off from the end portion of the sheath is suppressed by engagement of the rubber plug holding portion and the cap.

wherein one of the holder and the cap is provided with a guide portion, and the other of the holder and the cap is provided with a guided portion configured to slide against the guide portion, and

the rubber plug holding portion is guided by the guide portion and the guided portion sliding against each other, to a position at which the rubber plug holding portion is locked to the cap.

4. The seal structure for a multicore cable according to claim 1 ,

wherein the holder has a protection portion that covers the rubber plug holding portion.

5. The seal structure for a multicore cable according to claim 1 ,

wherein the sheath holding portion of the holder is configured to hold the sheath from the outside, and
