ABSTRACT:
The clip for securing a wiring harness in position has a holder portion for holding the wiring harness and a flange portion extending transversely from the holder portion for securing the clip to a fixed part of the vehicle structure. The flange portion is pivotably connected to the holder portion so that the former, in assembly, can be collapsed in parallel to the latter from the normally erect position, reducing the overall dimension of the combined clip and harness to facilitate insertion of the combination through a panel hole of relatively smaller dimension. This reduces the assembly cost and improves the assembly efficiency. Another form of clip is provided at its flange portion with a flexibly bendable constrictive portion formed in the middle of the flange portion. The clip also can be bent via the constrictive portion, reducing its overall dimension, and attains the same effect as the first mentioned clip. The clip further is provided at its flange portion with reinforcement means of rigidity adapted to be abutted against and latched on the bendable constrictive portion. The reinforcement means of profile complemental to that of the bendable constrictive portion, serves to render the latter portion unbendable or rigid for attaining reliable positioning of the wiring harness relative to the fixed part. Any risks of the wiring harness or associated parts e.g. connectors being dislocated or displaced due to vibrations occuring in the vehicle thus can be avoided.
