Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A water-proofing member includes a pair of elastic tubular connection portions and individually connected in an air-tight manner to a connector (housing member) and a corrugated tube (housing member) housing an electrical wire; an elastic tubular insertion portion that surrounds the electrical wire in a mode of connecting the pair of tubular connection portions and to each other; an elastic pipe-shaped extension portion that can be deformed such that its axis is curved, and extends and branches from the outer circumferential surface of the insertion portion; and an air-permeable film that is attached to an extension end portion of the pipe-shaped extension portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A water-proofing member comprising: a pair of elastic tubular connection portions individually connected in an air-tight manner to two housing members housing an electrical wire; an elastic tubular insertion portion that surrounds the electrical wire in a mode of connecting the pair of tubular connection portions to each other; a bendable pipe-shaped extension portion that extends branching from the insertion portion; an air-permeable film; a tubular holding member that is more rigid than the pipe-shaped extension portion, and is fitted into an extension end portion of the pipe-shaped extension portion while holding the air-permeable film; and a binding member that is fastened to the extension end portion of the pipe-shaped extension portion, and fixes the holding member to the extension end portion of the pipe-shaped extension portion. 2. The water-proofing member according to claim 1 , further comprising an anchor portion that is formed integrated with the binding member and is attachable to another member. 3. A water-proofing member comprising: a pair of elastic tubular connection portions individually connected in an air-tight manner to two housing members housing an electrical wire; an elastic tubular insertion portion that surrounds the electrical wire in a mode of connecting the pair of tubular connection portions to each other; a bendable pipe-shaped extension portion that extends branching from the insertion portion; an air-permeable film that is provided on an extension end portion side of the pipe-shaped extension portion; and an accordion portion in the pipe-shaped extension portion, an outer circumferential surface and an inner circumferential surface of the accordion portion being formed in the shape of an accordion. 4. The water-proofing member according to claim 3 , wherein the accordion portion is only arranged in a region on the extension end portion side of the pipe-shaped extension portion.
