WIRE HARNESS FOR SLIDING DOOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101050 titled 'WIRE HARNESS FOR SLIDING DOOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a wire harness arrangement in a vehicle, where a protector is mounted on a bent region of the wire harness to prevent contact with inner angles.
- The protector is mounted on a bent region of the wire harness with a crank shape.
- The protector includes a groove that matches the bent shape of the wire harness and has a larger width than the wire harness.
- A pin is inserted into a hole on the bottom surface of the groove to constrain the wire harness and prevent contact with inner angles.
- The wire harness is fixed to the protector using a fastening member.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various vehicles with sliding doors to protect wire harnesses from damage during operation.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of wire harnesses getting damaged or worn out due to contact with inner angles in vehicles with sliding doors.
Benefits
The use of this protector ensures the longevity and proper functioning of wire harnesses in vehicles, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be valuable for automotive manufacturers looking to improve the durability and reliability of their vehicles' electrical systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of protective sleeves or covers for wire harnesses in vehicles, but the specific design of a protector with a groove and pin for wire harnesses in a bent shape may be unique to this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact vehicle safety?
This technology can prevent electrical malfunctions or failures in vehicles, contributing to overall safety on the road by ensuring proper functioning of critical systems.
What materials are used in the construction of the protector?
The patent application does not specify the materials used for the protector, which could be important for understanding its durability and effectiveness in real-world applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
a wire harness is arranged between a vehicle body and a sliding door in a vehicle, in which: a protector is mounted on a bent region of the wire harness having a shape in which a middle of the wire harness in a longitudinal direction is bent in a crank shape; the protector includes a groove having a shape corresponding to the bent shape of the wire harness and has a larger width than a radial size of the wire harness; a bottom surface of the groove has a hole into which a pin is detachably inserted, the pin constraining the wire harness in a state where the wire harness has looseness so as not to contact an inner angle portion at a bent site of the groove; and one side of the bent region of the wire harness is fixed to the protector using a fastening member.
