Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A grommet which can maintain water tightness in response to inclination is provided. In an attachment section of the grommet, a substantially right-angled first bending portion is formed between a first flange portion and a tubular portion. Thus, when the attachment section is inclined with respect to a panel member, the first bending portion changes in angle, thereby absorbing the inclination, and thereby maintaining the contact between the annular lip portion and a planar portion. As a result, water tightness can be maintained in response to the inclination.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A grommet formed into a tubular shape so as to cover an electric wire and configured to be attached to an attachment hole of a panel member, the grommet comprising: a first flange portion configured to face the panel member; and an annular lip portion extending from an inner peripheral part of the first flange portion toward the panel member so as to elastically contact with a planar portion around the attachment hole, wherein the annular lip portion includes a tubular portion extending in an extending direction corresponding to a direction perpendicular to a surface of the panel member, and wherein a substantially right-angled bending portion exists between an outer periphery of the first flange portion and an outer periphery of the tubular portion in a state where the grommet is not attached to the attachment hole. 2. The grommet according to claim 1 , wherein the annular lip portion comprises: a second flange portion continuous with a tip end of the tubular portion and extending radially outward; and a protruding portion protruding from the second flange portion toward the planar portion. 3. The grommet according to claim 2 , wherein the second flange portion comprises a flange protrusion protruding more radially outward than the protruding portion. 4. The grommet according to claim 1 , wherein the grommet further comprises: a grommet body, and a grommet inner member disposed inside of the grommet body, wherein the inner member includes an engaging portion configured to engage with the attachment hole.
