WIRING MODULE AND ELASTIC WATER-STOP MEMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18269198 titled 'WIRING MODULE AND ELASTIC WATER-STOP MEMBER

The present invention aims to improve the reliability of arranging a wiring member inside a wiring member arrangement hole when an elastic water-blocking member has a split structure.

The wiring module includes a wiring member with at least one linear wiring member and an elastic water-blocking member mounted to a portion of the wiring member.
The elastic water-blocking member consists of a first split member and a second split member, with one of them having wiring member arrangement grooves and guide wall portions, while the other has a convex lid portion.
When the first and second split members are combined, the wiring member is arranged in a linear wiring member arrangement hole enclosed by the grooves and the convex lid portion.

Potential Applications: - Electrical wiring systems - Waterproof electronic devices - Automotive wiring harnesses

Problems Solved: - Ensuring reliable arrangement of wiring members in split-structure water-blocking members - Preventing water damage to electronic components

Benefits: - Improved waterproofing capabilities - Enhanced reliability of wiring arrangements - Protection against water ingress

Commercial Applications: Title: Waterproof Wiring Modules for Electronics This technology can be used in various industries such as automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics for creating waterproof and reliable wiring systems.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the split structure of the elastic water-blocking member improve the reliability of wiring arrangements? 2. What are the key advantages of using this wiring module in automotive applications?

Original Abstract Submitted

The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to more reliably arrange a wiring member inside a wiring member arrangement hole in a case where an elastic water-blocking member is given a split structure. This wiring module is provided with: a wiring member which includes at least one linear wiring member; and an elastic water-blocking member that is mounted to a portion of the wiring member in the lengthwise direction thereof. The elastic water-blocking member includes a first split member and a second split member. One of the first split member and the second split member has formed therein: wiring member arrangement grooves having openings on both ends and a slender elongated opening; and a pair of guide wall portions. The other of the first split member and the second split member has formed therein a convex lid portion that is arranged within the pair of guide wall portions so as to close off the slender elongated opening. In a state in which the first split member and the second split member are combined together, at least a portion of the wiring member is arranged in a linear wiring member arrangement hole which is enclosed by the wiring member arrangement grooves and the convex lid portion.
