FIG. 7 (a) is a partially enlarged view of the first holding portion and the second holding portion in which the long member having a small diameter is sandwiched, and FIG. 7 (b) is the first sandwiching in which the long member having a large diameter is sandwiched. It is a partially enlarged view of the portion and the second sandwiching portion. It is a perspective view of the holder of a modification.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the holder 10 of the embodiment. FIG. 1A shows a holder 10 in a state where the lid portion 22 is open, and FIG. 1B shows a holder 10 in a state where the lid portion 22 is closed. 2 (a) is a right side view of the holder 10, and FIG. 2 (b) is a left side view of the holder 10. Further, FIG. 3 shows the holder 10 as seen from the arrow viewing direction 42 shown in FIG. 2 (a).

The holder 10 holds, for example, a torsion bar provided on the hinge of the boot lid of the vehicle. A pair of torsion bars are provided along the left-right direction of the vehicle and are arranged so as to intersect each other. By holding the pair of torsion bars by the holder 10, it is possible to prevent the torsion bars from hitting each other to generate an abnormal noise or to be worn. The holder 10 is fixed to the wall portion defining the trunk. The torsion bar is a long member having a longitudinal direction (axial direction).

The holder 10 has a main body portion 20, a lid portion 22, a hinge portion 24, and a fixing portion 26. The hinge portion 24 is formed to be flexible and thin, and the lid portion 22 is rotatably connected to the hinge portion 24. The fixing portion 26 is provided on the main body portion 20 and fixes the holder 10 to the wall portion which is a mounting member.

The main body portion 20 includes a base portion 34, first holding portions 28a and 28b, second holding portions 29a and 29b, a first engaging portion 30a, a second engaging portion 30b, a third engaging portion 30c, and a first rib 40a. , Has a second rib 40b and a third rib 40c.

The first holding portions 28a and 28b and the second holding portions 29a and 29b are erected from the base portion 34 and are provided in two sets facing each other. When the first pinching portion 28a and the first pinching portion 28b are not distinguished, it is referred to as "first pinching portion 28", and when the second pinching portion 29a and the second pinching portion 29b are not distinguished, it is referred to as "second pinching portion 29". .. Two sets of the first holding portion 28 and the second holding portion 29 are provided to sandwich the outer peripheral surfaces of the pair of torsion bars.

The first holding portion 28 and the second holding portion 29 define an opening 31 for inserting a long member. The opening 31 is located between the first pinching portion 28a and the second pinching portion 29a and the first pinching portion 28b and the second pinching portion 29b, respectively, and the tip of the first pinching portion 28 and the second pinching portion 29. Located on the side.

A plurality of a set of the first holding portion 28 and the second holding portion 29 are provided and arranged so as to be adjacent to each other. That is, the first holding portion 28a and the second holding portion 29a and the first holding portion 28b and the second holding portion 29b are adjacent to each other. The first sandwiching portion 28 and the second sandwiching portion 29 are arranged alternately.

The first sandwiching portion 28 is thicker than the second sandwiching portion 29 and is formed to be less flexible, and is formed like a rigid body. The first holding portion 28 has a stopper 38 that restricts the movement of the long member from the opening 31 to the back side. The direction from the opening 31 toward the back side is the direction along the vertical direction of the second holding portion 29 and the arrow viewing direction 42 shown in FIG. 2A, from the tip end to the base end of the second holding portion 29. The direction to go. The insertion space for the long member is formed in the stopper 38 on the back side from the opening 31 by the first holding portion 28 and the second holding portion 29. The stopper 38 functions as a pedestal for the long member to be held, and restricts the long member from moving toward the reference surface 36 of the base portion 34.

The second sandwiching portion 29 is thinner and more easily flexed than the first sandwiching portion 28, and is formed as an elastic piece. The second holding portion 29 makes it possible to hold long members having different outer diameters. The second holding portion 29 is erected from the back side of the stopper 38. As a result, the total length of the second holding portion 29 can be increased, and the second holding portion 29 can be easily bent.

The first engaging portion 30a, the second engaging portion 30b, and the third engaging portion 30c (referred to as "engaging portion 30" when these are not distinguished) are formed in a claw shape and are formed on the locking claws of the lid portion 22. Lock. The first engaging portion 30a, the second engaging portion 30b, and the third engaging portion 30c are formed in order from a position farther from the hinge portion 24 to a position closer to the hinge portion 24.

The first rib 40a, the second rib 40b, and the third rib 40c are formed in a wall shape and extend along a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the hinge portion 24, and lateral to the main body portion 20 and the lid portion 22. That is, the positional deviation of the long member in the longitudinal direction is regulated. A wall-shaped fourth rib 40d is formed on the lid portion 22. When these ribs 40a, 40b, 40c, and 40d are not distinguished, they are referred to as "ribs 40". By providing the second rib 40b, the third rib 40c, and the fourth rib 40d, the rigidity of the first holding portion 28b, the third engaging portion 30c, and the first locking claw 32a can be increased.

The first rib 40a protrudes from the side edge of the first engaging portion 30a, the second rib 40b protrudes from the side edge of the first sandwiching portion 28b, and the third rib 40c protrudes from the side edge of the third engaging portion 30c. .. As shown in FIG. 3, the second rib 40b is provided at a position displaced in the longitudinal direction of the long member to be sandwiched with respect to the second sandwiching portion 29a of the adjacent set. The longitudinal direction of the long member to be sandwiched is parallel to the rotation axis direction of the hinge portion 24, orthogonal to the vertical direction of the second sandwiching portion 29, and the opposite direction of the first sandwiching portion 28 and the second sandwiching portion 29. Orthogonal to. As a result, when the second holding portion 29a is bent so as to expand, it can hit the second rib 40b and the bending is not limited. Further, the third rib 40c is provided at a position displaced in the rotation axis direction with respect to the second holding portion 29b so as not to interfere with the expanding movement of the second holding portion 29b. The second rib 40b and the third rib 40c prevent the long member from being inserted between the second sandwiching portion 29a and the first sandwiching portion 28b and between the second sandwiching portion 29b and the hinge portion 24, and are erroneously assembled. It is possible to prevent sticking.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the tapered surface 39 is connected to the stopper 38, is inclined with respect to the stopper 38, and is formed flat on the side surface of the first sandwiching portion 28. The tapered surface 39 is formed in a direction along the mounting member to which the fixing portion 26 is fixed, and receives a load from the long member to be held.
Since the holder 10 is fixed by the fixing portion 26, it receives a large load in the direction from the long member to be held toward the fixing portion 26. The curved surface 41 is connected to the tapered surface 39 and is formed on the side surface of the first sandwiching portion 28 in an arcuate cross section.

The lid portion 22 covers the opening 31 for inserting the long member. As a result, the long member sandwiched between the first sandwiching portion 28 and the second sandwiching portion 29 is prevented from coming out of the opening 31. The lid portion 22 has a first locking claw 32a, a second locking claw 32b, a third locking claw 32c, and a fourth rib 40d. When the first locking claw 32a, the second locking claw 32b and the third locking claw 32c are not distinguished, it is referred to as "locking claw 32". The first locking claw 32a, the second locking claw 32b, and the third locking claw 32c are formed upright in parallel.

The locking claw 32 is locked to the engaging portion 30 of the main body portion 20 in a closed state covering the opening 31. As shown in FIG. 1B, the first locking claw 32a, the second locking claw 32b, and the third locking claw 32c have a first engaging portion 30a, a second engaging portion 30b, and a third engaging portion. Each is locked to the portion 30c. The first locking claw 32a is located at the tip end portion of the lid portion 22, and the third locking claw 32c is located at the base end portion of the lid portion 22. The second locking claw 32b is located between the first locking claw 32a and the third locking claw 32c and is formed in the center. The height of the first locking claw 32a is larger in the vertical direction than that of the second locking claw 32b and the third locking claw 32c.

The locking claw 32 has a claw portion 44 protruding toward the tip end side. The claw portion 44 is caught by the engaging portion 30. As shown in FIG. 2A, the claw portion 44 of the first locking claw 32a projects in the opposite direction of the claw portion 44 of the second locking claw 32b and the third locking claw 32c. That is, of the plurality of locking claws 32, one of the locking claws 32 has a claw portion 44 that protrudes in the opposite direction of the other locking claw 32. As a result, when the main body portion 20 and the lid portion 22 try to be displaced in the opposite directions of the first holding portion 28 and the second holding portion 29, one of the claw portions 44 bites into the engaging portion 30 and engages. You can prevent the stop from coming off.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the holder 10 shown in FIG. 1 (b). In the closed state of the lid portion 22, the first rib 40a, the second rib 40b, and the third rib 40c are attached to the first locking claw 32a, the second locking claw 32b, and the third locking claw 32c in the rotation axis direction. They are close to each other facing each other, and limit the lateral movement of the long member in the longitudinal direction. Since the first rib 40a and the third rib 40c are arranged on the side edge opposite to the second rib 40b, when the lid portion 22 tries to be displaced laterally, one of the ribs 40 is locked. It is possible to regulate the misalignment by hitting 32. The fourth rib 40d engages with the first holding portion 28a to regulate the lateral displacement of the lid portion 22, and regulates the positional deviation in the direction opposite to that of the second rib 40b.

In the closed state of the lid portion 22, the claw portion 44 of the third locking claw 32c projects in a direction away from the second holding portion 29b. Further, the claw portion 44 of the second locking claw 32b projects in a direction away from the second holding portion 29a. That is, in the closed state of the lid portion 22, the second pinching portion 29 projects in the expanding direction of the second pinching portion 29 with respect to the facing second pinching portion 29 of the claw portion 44 of the locking claw 32, that is, toward the hinge portion 24, and the second pinching portion is held. It is difficult to limit the expansion of the part 29.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a holder 10 for holding a long member 14 having a small diameter. The first sandwiching portion 28 and the second sandwiching portion 29 each sandwich the outer peripheral surface of the long member 14. Since the long member 14 has a small diameter, the bending of the second holding portion 29 is small.

The long member 14 is inserted from the opening 31 toward the base end side of the first holding portion 28 and the second holding portion 29, and when it comes into contact with the stopper 38, it is sandwiched between the first holding portion 28 and the second holding portion 29. It will be in the state of being done. After inserting the long member 14, the lid portion 22 is rotated to lock the locking claw 32 to the engaging portion 30, so that the opening 31 is closed and the long member 14 is held.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the holder 10 for sandwiching the long member 16 having a large diameter. The elastic locking portion 26a formed in the fixing portion 26 is locked to the hole edge of the mounting hole 12a, and the fixing portion 26 is fixed to the mounting member 12.

The long member 16 has a larger diameter than the long member 14 shown in FIG. When the large-diameter long member 16 is inserted, the second sandwiching portion 29 bends so as to expand. Since the second holding portion 29 extends from the reference surface 36 on the back side of the stopper 38, it is easy to bend and easily hold the long member 16. By forming the second holding portion 29 with elastic pieces that are easily bent in this way, it is possible to hold long members having different outer diameters.

The second pinching portion 29a and the second rib 40b are formed so as to be offset in the rotation axis direction, and the second pinching portion 29b and the third rib 40c are formed so as to be offset in the rotation axis direction. Deflection is not limited.

FIG. 7A is a partially enlarged view of the first sandwiching portion 28 and the second sandwiching portion 29 sandwiching the long member 14 having a small diameter, and FIG. 7B is a partially enlarged view of sandwiching the long member 16 having a large diameter. It is a partially enlarged view of the 1st holding part 28 and the 2nd holding part 29.

As shown in FIG. 7A, when the first holding portion 28 and the second holding portion 29 sandwich the long member 14 having a small diameter, the outer peripheral surface of the long member 14 is aligned with the curved surface 41. It does not hit the tapered surface 39. On the other hand, in FIG. 7B, the outer peripheral surface of the long member 16 protrudes from the curved surface 41 and hits the tapered surface 39.

If the tapered surface 39 is a curved surface having the same radius of curvature as the curved surface 41, the long member 16 having a radius of curvature larger than that of the curved surface 41 may be lifted from the curved surface 41, and the pinch may be easily disengaged. be. Therefore, the inner side of the insertion space between the first holding portion 28 and the second holding portion 29 is formed so as to be cut out by the tapered surface 39, and the long member 16 is sandwiched so as to fall into the inner side. The tapered surface 39 is formed so as not to protrude radially inward from a concentric circle having the same radius as the curved surface 41 in a side view. As a result, it is possible to stabilize the state in which the long member 16 having a large diameter is sandwiched.

A slit 43 is formed on the base end side of the second holding portion 29 so as to be recessed from the stopper 38 toward the reference surface 36. As a result, the second sandwiching portion 29 is formed to be long and easily bent.
