Abstract

Provided is a binding structure of a wire routing material which can allow reduction of cost and also provides excellent workability for assembly into a vehicle body when wiring for wire routing materials having different shapes, such as a wire harness and a flat wire routing material, is performed in the vehicle body. A binding structure 1 is formed in which a flexible wire routing material 2 and a plate-shaped flat wire routing material 3 having higher rigidity than the flexible wire routing material 2 overlap each other, and the flexible wire routing material 2 and the flat wire routing material 3 are enclosed in an annular form, bound, and held by a binding portion 45 of an engaging member 4 including an engaging portion 40 for assembly into the vehicle body.

Claims (22)

1. A binding structure of a wire routing material, the binding structure comprising:

a flexible wire routing material;

a plate-shaped flat wire routing material; and

an engaging member including an engaging portion for assembly into a vehicle body, and a binding portion for binding the flexible wire routing material and the flat wire routing material, wherein

the engaging member is provided with a placement portion having a mount surface on which the flat wire routing material is placed, and

the binding portion is formed integrally with or separately from the placement portion so as to bind the flat wire routing material and the flexible wire routing material such that the flexible wire routing material that overlaps over the flat wire routing material mounted on the placement portion is pressed toward the mount surface.

2. The binding structure of a wire routing material according to claim 1 , wherein

the flat wire routing material has higher rigidity than the flexible wire routing material.

3. The binding structure of a wire routing material according to claim 1 , wherein

the engaging portion protrudes from the flat wire routing material side, not from the flexible wire routing material side, in a binding state in which the flexible wire routing material and the flat wire routing material are bound by the binding portion.

4. The binding structure of a wire routing material according to claim 1 , wherein

the engaging member is provided with a placement portion having a mount surface on which the flat wire routing material is placed, and

the engaging portion is formed so as to protrude from a back surface, of the placement portion, which is opposite to the mount surface, or from a side surface located lateral to the flat wire routing material mounted on the placement portion.

5. The binding structure of a wire routing material according to claim 4 , wherein

the placement portion is provided with a bottom wall portion having a mount surface on which the flat wire routing material is placed, and a side wall portion extending upward from the bottom wall portion on both lateral sides or one of the lateral sides lateral to the flat wire routing material, and

the engaging portion is formed so as to protrude from one of the bottom wall portion and the side wall portion.

6. The binding structure of a wire routing material according to claim 1 , wherein

the engaging member is provided with a placement portion including a bottom wall portion having a mount surface on which the flat wire routing material is placed, and side wall portions extending upward from the bottom wall portion on both lateral sides lateral to the flat wire routing material, and

an opposing width between the side wall portions is larger than a width of the flat wire routing material in an opposing direction.

7. The binding structure of a wire routing material according to claim 1 , wherein

the engaging member is provided with a placement portion having a mount surface on which the flat wire routing material is placed, and

the placement portion has a plate-like shape, and a plate width is larger than a width of the flat wire routing material.
