Abstract

A resin molded body ( 10 ) includes a metal attachment member ( 22 ) and an extension part ( 33, 34 ) extending from the resin molded body. At least one part of the metal attachment member ( 22 ) is exposed in a mounting surface ( 20 a ) of the resin molded body. The mounting surface ( 20 a ) is to be facing to the mounting target when the resin molded body is fixed to a mounting target. At least one part of the extension part ( 33, 34 ) is protruded outside the mounting surface. A protrusion length of the at least one part of the extension part ( 33, 34 ) from the mounting surface is larger than a protrusion length of the metal attachment member ( 22 ) from the mounting surface. The at least one part is configured to allow deforming in a direction away from the mounting target when the resin molded body is fixed to the mounting target.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A protector for a wire harness configured to be fixed to a mounting target, the protector comprising:
a resin molded body,
a metal attachment member integrally retained in the resin molded body; and
an extension part extending from the resin molded body,
at least one part of the metal attachment member being exposed in a mounting surface of the resin molded body, the mounting surface being configured to face the mounting target upon the resin molded body being fixed to the mounting target,
at least one part of the extension part protruding outside the mounting surface, a protrusion length of the at least one part of the extension part from the mounting surface being larger than a protrusion length of the metal attachment member from the mounting surface, the at least one part of the extension part being configured to allow deformation thereof in a direction away from the mounting target upon the resin molded body being fixed to the mounting target.

2. The protector according to claim 1 , wherein
the metal attachment member is a metal collar defining a mounting hole configured to receive a columnar member extending from the mounting target,
the extension part being located to avoid a moving path of the columnar member such that the columnar member moves relative to the resin molded body through the moving path when the resin molded body is fixed to the mounting target in accordance with a predetermined fixing procedure.

3. The protector according to claim 1 , wherein
the resin molded body further comprises a pair of wall parts extending from the resin molded body, a top portion of each of the pair of wall parts is located in the same plane as the mounting surface,
the extension part has a cantilever shape having: a fixed end located inside a space between the pair of wall parts; and a free end protruded outside the space between the wall parts, and the cantilever shape allows the extension part to deform to be received inside the space between the wall parts when the resin molded body is fixed to the mounting target.

4. The protector according to claim 1 , wherein
the mounting target is a vehicle body.

5. The protector according to claim 1 , wherein
the metal attachment member is integrally molded within the resin molded body.

6. The protector according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion length of the at least one part of the extension part is larger than the protrusion length of the metal attachment member in a direction in which the extension part protrudes from the resin molded body.

7. The protector according to claim 1 , wherein
the resin molded body includes a support wall portion,
the extension part includes a first extension part and a second extension part, the first extension part and the second extension part being positioned on either side of the support wall portion, and
each of the first extension part and the second extension part being deformable in the direction away from the mounting target upon the resin molded body being fixed to the mounting target.
