GROMMET AND WIRE HARNESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18277764 titled 'GROMMET AND WIRE HARNESS
Simplified Explanation: The invention aims to prevent torsional deformation in an attachment portion when a torsional moment is applied from an electric cable to a grommet. The grommet has a main body portion for the cable and an attachment portion for securing it to a target.
- The grommet includes a linking portion with a recessed/protruding design to resist torsional forces.
- The linking portion connects the holding portion for the cable and the attachment portion.
- Protruding and recessed portions are arranged alternately in the linking portion to enhance stability against torsional stress.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Design to suppress torsional deformation in the attachment portion.
- Recessed/protruding portion in the linking portion for added strength.
- Alternating arrangement of protruding and recessed portions for improved stability.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in various industries such as automotive, electronics, and machinery where grommets are used to secure cables and prevent torsional deformation.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the issue of torsional deformation in grommet attachment portions when subjected to torsional moments from electric cables.
Benefits:
- Enhanced stability and resistance to torsional forces.
- Improved durability and longevity of grommet attachments.
- Reduced maintenance and replacement costs.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in the manufacturing of electrical equipment, automotive components, and machinery where secure cable attachments are essential for reliable operation.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to grommet designs, cable attachments, and torsional deformation prevention in electrical components.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about the latest advancements in grommet technology, cable management solutions, and materials science for improved performance in electrical systems.
Questions about Grommet Technology: 1. How does the design of the linking portion in the grommet prevent torsional deformation? 2. What are the potential industrial applications of this innovative grommet technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
The objective of the present invention is to provide a technology capable of suppressing torsional deformation in an attachment portion, even if a torsional moment is applied from an electric cable to a grommet. This grommet is provided with a tubular main body portion through which an electric cable is inserted, and an attachment portion used for attachment to an attachment target. The main body portion includes a holding portion used to hold the electric cable, and a linking portion joining the holding portion and the attachment portion. A recessed/protruding portion in which protruding portions and recessed portions are arranged alternately in a circumferential direction about an axis parallel to the insertion direction of the electric cable is provided in the linking portion.
