ATTACHMENT STRUCTURE OF FLAT WIRE HARNESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18480007 titled 'ATTACHMENT STRUCTURE OF FLAT WIRE HARNESS
Simplified Explanation
The attachment structure of a flat wire harness patent application describes a system where a flat wire harness is attached to a target member using a rod-like part passing through a through hole in the base material. The rod-like part is fixed to the target member with a fixing part and prevented from coming out of the through hole with a retaining part.
- Through hole formed in base material for flat wire harness
- Attachment part includes rod-like part, fixing part, and retaining part
- Retaining part larger than through hole to prevent rod-like part from coming out
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various industries where flat wire harnesses are used, such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics manufacturing.
Problems Solved
This attachment structure solves the problem of securely fastening a flat wire harness to a target member without the risk of the attachment coming loose or failing over time.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved reliability and durability of flat wire harness attachments, leading to safer and more efficient operation of the equipment they are used in.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include the production of vehicles, aircraft, and electronic devices where flat wire harnesses are a critical component.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be traditional methods of attaching flat wire harnesses using adhesives or clips, which may not provide the same level of security and durability as the attachment structure described in this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this attachment structure compare to existing methods in terms of cost-effectiveness?
The patent application does not provide information on the cost implications of implementing this attachment structure compared to traditional methods.
Are there any limitations to the size or weight of the flat wire harness that can be accommodated by this attachment structure?
The patent application does not address any potential limitations in terms of the size or weight of the flat wire harness that can be attached using this structure.
Original Abstract Submitted
An attachment structure of a flat wire harness includes: an attachment target member; a flat wire harness; and an attachment part. In the flat wire harness, a through hole is formed in a part of a base material where a plurality of electrical wires are not disposed. The attachment part includes a rod-like part passing through the through hole, a fixing part provided to a first end portion of the rod-like part to fix the rod-like part to the attachment target member, and a retaining part provided to a second end portion of the rod-like part to prevent the rod-like part from coming out of the through hole. An outer size of the retaining part is larger than a dimension of the through hole, and the dimension of the through hole is equal to or larger than a thickness of the rod-like part.
