DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rubber roll tape and a method for winding a rubber roll tape, and more particularly, it is attached to the outside of a mating member such as a connector or a protector to protect the connector or the protector from the outside. The present invention relates to a rubber roll tape and a method of winding the rubber roll tape, which can suppress leakage of vibration to the outside.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, at a predetermined position on a panel such as a vehicle body,
It is known to wire a wire harness, for example, as a wire bundle. This wiring harness is designed to be wired according to the relationship with surrounding members and the positional relationship of electrical equipment, and the connector attached to the end of the wiring harness is connected to electrical equipment. I have.

In such a wire harness or connector, urethane tape is wound around the outer periphery to protect it from the outside and to prevent noise from leaking to the outside. As this urethane tape, for example, the one shown in FIG. 3 is known. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a urethane tape. The urethane tape 1 is formed in a strip shape, and an adhesive 1a is applied on one surface side. Further, a vinyl tape is stuck on one side of the urethane tape. When the vinyl tape is attached to a wire harness or a connector, the tape 2 is peeled off from one side of the urethane tape 1 as shown in FIG. (B) As shown in FIG.
5 or the connector 4 as shown in FIG.
To be wrapped around.

When the wire is wound around the wire harness 3, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), one end of the urethane tape 1 is overlapped with the other end, that is, in a so-called laver winding shape, or as shown in FIG. ), The other end may be attached to one end of the urethane tape 1. On the other hand, the urethane tape 1 has a length l, a width w,
The thickness t is different, for example, 2 mm as the thickness t,
3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, width w
About 12 types at 10 mm intervals of 40 to 150 mm, 6 as length l
There are about 20 types of standards at intervals of 10 mm from 0 to 250 mm (currently about 1400 types), and the operator can select urethane tape 1 of any size as appropriate according to the type of wire harness 3 and connector 4. And wrap it around.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional urethane tape 1, an urethane tape 1 of an arbitrary size is appropriately selected and wound according to the wire harness 3 and the connector 4. For,
The type of urethane tape 1 has become huge,
Management has become very troublesome.

When the diameter of the wire harness 3 or the size of the connector 4 is changed, a new urethane tape 1 is required each time, and the urethane tape 1
There is also a problem that the manufacturing cost increases. In addition, since the vinyl tape 2 was peeled off before the urethane tape 1 was wound, extra work was required, and the adhesive surface of the urethane tape 1 might stick to the operator. And the tape winding work became very troublesome. In addition to this,
Since the urethane tapes 1 are adhered to each other, there is a problem that the urethane tape 1 is damaged and becomes unnecessary when the tape 1 is peeled off, and the cost of the tape 1 is substantially increased.

Further, after the urethane tape 1 is attached to the wire harness 3 or the connector 4, there is a possibility that the adhesive surfaces may peel off, and the reliability is not sufficient. Therefore, the present invention provides an operator who can arbitrarily change the length of a rubber tape (a tape pulled out or cut from a rubber roll tape is referred to as a rubber tape), thereby preventing the type of rubber roll tape from increasing. This can prevent the management cost and the manufacturing cost from increasing, and can be easily wound around the counterpart member without the need for an adhesive, and can be prevented from peeling off from the counterpart member. It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly reliable rubber roll tape and a method for winding the rubber roll tape.

[0008]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a rubber roll tape formed by winding rubber, wherein an opening is formed which opens in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the rubber, and the opening is formed by the rubber extending tape. It is characterized by being arranged at predetermined intervals in the direction.

In this case, after the rubber tape is wound around the mating member by a predetermined amount, the rubber tape can be easily wound around the mating member by cutting the rubber tape in the width direction with scissors or the like. Further, when winding the rubber tape, the opening can be easily hooked on the projecting piece protruding from the counterpart member by hooking the opening.

[0010] Therefore, the length can be appropriately set only by controlling the width and thickness of the rubber roll tape, and it is possible to sufficiently cope with the case where the size of the mating member is changed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the type of the rubber roll tape from increasing, thereby preventing the management cost and the manufacturing cost from increasing. In addition, since adhesive is not required, the work of peeling off vinyl tape as in the past is no longer necessary, and rubber can be reliably prevented from sticking to the worker, making the work of tape winding work easier. Can be improved.

In addition, since the rubbers do not adhere to each other, it is possible to prevent the rubber from being damaged and to prevent the cost of the rubber roll tape from being substantially increased. According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of winding the rubber roll tape according to the first aspect around a counterpart member, wherein a tip of the rubber roll tape is attached to a projecting piece projecting from the counterpart member. After hooking the opening located at the end, the rubber roll tape is wound around the counterpart member, and then, after cutting the rubber roll tape, the projecting piece or the projecting piece adjacent to the projecting piece is opposite to the tip end of the rubber roll tape. The opening located at the cutting portion of the above is hooked.

In this case, the rubber tape can be easily wound around the counterpart member, and the rubber tape can be prevented from peeling off from the counterpart member after winding.
