Abstract

A protector 20 includes a wire accommodating portion 22 and a wire fixing piece 40. The wire accommodating portion 22 is formed with an accommodation space capable of accommodating wires 12 and a wire draw-out port 23 for drawing out the wires 12 accommodated in the accommodation space to outside. A wire fixing piece 40 is formed separately from the wire accommodating portion 22 and can be united with the wire draw-out port 23 in a state fixed at a certain position in an extending direction of the wires 12 by a binding member 18.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A protector ( 20 ), comprising:
a wire accommodating portion ( 22 ) formed with an accommodation space capable of at least partly accommodating at least one wire ( 12 ) and a wire draw-out port ( 23 ) for drawing out the wire ( 12 ) accommodated in the accommodation space to outside; and at least one wire fixing piece ( 40 ) formed separately from the wire accommodating portion ( 22 ) and unitable with the wire draw-out port ( 23 ) in a state fixed at a certain position in an extending direction (ED) of the wire ( 12 ) by at least one binding member ( 18 ).

2 . The protector of claim 1 , wherein the wire fixing piece ( 40 ) is unitable with the wire accommodating portion ( 22 ) at a position where at least a part of the binding member ( 18 ) for binding and fixing the wire ( 12 ) and the wire fixing piece ( 40 ) is arranged in the wire accommodating portion ( 22 ).

3 . The protector of claim 2 , wherein the wire accommodating portion ( 22 ) includes:
a protector main body ( 24 ; 224 ) with a base plate ( 25 ; 125 ; 225 ) and one or more side walls ( 28 ) standing from the base plate ( 25 ; 125 ; 225 ); and a lid ( 30 ) to be mounted on the protector main body ( 24 ; 224 ) to at least partly close an opening of the protector main body ( 24 ; 224 ).

4 . The protector of claim 1 , wherein:
the wire fixing piece ( 40 ) includes a bound portion ( 42 ) to be bound and fixed to the wire ( 12 ) and a wide portion ( 44 ) wider than the bound portion ( 42 ); and at least one fixing projection ( 26 ) is formed on one of a side part of the wide portion ( 44 ) and the wire accommodating portion ( 22 ) and a wire fixing recess ( 46 ), in which the fixing projecting portion ( 26 ) is arrangeable, is formed on the other.

5 . The protector of claim 1 , wherein:
a plurality of the wire fixing pieces ( 40 ) are provided; and the plurality of wire fixing pieces ( 40 ) are unitable substantially side by side with the wire draw-out port ( 23 ).

6 . The protector of claim 1 , further comprising an integrated wire fixing piece ( 240 ) integrally formed to the wire draw-out port ( 23 ).

7 . The protector of claim 6 , wherein the wire fixing piece ( 40 ) is unitable with the wire draw-out port ( 23 ) on a side adjacent to the integrated wire fixing piece ( 240 ).

8 . An assembly of a wire ( 12 ) with protector ( 20 ), comprising:
the protector ( 20 ) of claim 1 ; a wire ( 12 ); and a binding member ( 18 ) for binding and fixing the wire ( 12 ) and the wire fixing piece ( 40 ); wherein the wire fixing piece ( 40 ) is accommodated at least partly in the accommodation space in a state where the wire fixing piece ( 40 ) is united with the wire draw-out port ( 23 ) and the wire ( 12 ) is drawn out to outside from the wire draw-out port ( 23 ).
