Patent ID: 7866612

Claim:
A clamp for locking a wire harness to a locking hole in a vehicle body, comprising: a harness-mounting part configured to be fastened to said wire harness; a plate projecting from said harness-mounting part; first and second spaced apart stems projecting from the plate, each of the stems having a stem width parallel to the plate and normal to a spacing between the stems and a stem thickness normal to the plate and parallel to the spacing between the stems; a spanning part connecting confronting portions of said stems, the spanning part having an inner surface facing the plate, an outer surface focusing away from the plate and a spanning part thickness between the inner and outer surfaces, the spanning part further having a spanning part width parallel to the stem width, the spanning part width being smaller than the stem width; first and second vane supports projecting from tips of the stems and extending away from one another, each of the first and second vane supports having an inner surface facing the plate, an outer surface facing away from the plate, and a vane support thickness therebetween the inner and outer surfaces, the vane support thickness being larger than both the stem thickness and the spanning part thickness; first and second vanes projecting respectively from the first and second vane supports obliquely towards the plate, a vehicle body-locking part formed at a tip of each of the vanes; and whereby formation of the spanning part with a spanning part thickness less than the vane support thickness generates twisting of the vanes in response to a pulling force on said clamp away from the vehicle body to unlock said vehicle body-locking parts of said vanes from said locking hole.
