Abstract:
1. A grommet through which a wiring harness is passed, comprising: an elastically deformable disk-shaped body configured to be attached to a hole in a panel, a pair of elastically deformable cylindrical portions extending away from each of two opposing outer surfaces of the disk-shaped body in opposite directions therefrom along an axis running through the opposing outer surfaces and a center of the body, wherein one side of one outer surface of the body includes at least one rib extending radially outward on the outer surface of the body from the center of the body, and the center axis of the body and the center axis of the cylindrical portions are the same such that a bending strength of the one side of the body with reference to a virtual plane including the axis is larger than a bending strength of an other side of the body; and an elastically deformable locking portion provided on an outer periphery of the disk-shaped body, the other side of the outer surface of the disk-shaped body includes at least one second rib extending radially outward on the outer surface of the body, either a thickness or a width of the rib being larger than either a thickness or a width of the second rib, the width of the rib being larger as extending in a radial direction from an outer periphery of the cylindrical portion, and the ribs extending in a radial direction from an outer periphery of the cylindrical portions.
