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 reliable arrangement of 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 on a portion of the wiring member.
The elastic water-blocking member consists of a first split member and a second split member, one of which has wiring member arrangement grooves with openings on both ends and a slender elongated opening, along with guide wall portions.
The other split member has a convex lid portion that closes off the slender elongated opening within the guide wall portions.
When the first and second split members are combined, the wiring member is arranged in a linear wiring member arrangement hole enclosed by the wiring member arrangement grooves and the convex lid portion.

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

Problems Solved: - Ensuring proper arrangement of wiring members in split water-blocking structures - Preventing water damage to electrical components

Benefits: - Improved reliability of wiring arrangements - Enhanced water resistance in electronic devices - Simplified installation processes

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.
