Abstract
Abstract A grommet comprises a soft grommet body including a supporting portion arranged such that an electric wire insertion hole is formed in an inner peripheral portion of a hollow disc-like base, a peripheral wall is clookedly formed along an outer periphery thereof, and a tip portion thereof is further bent inwards. The grommet has a square pillar. The pillar having a substrate fitted in an annular recess defined by the substrate, the peripheral wall and the supporting portion. A plurality of angular portions are each fitted in a hole of a pannel. The grommet has a hard resinous lock member having stop members for providing a locking force in the hole. An inner periphery of the supporting portion assumes an angular configuration having a plurality of corners close to the plurality of angular portions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
A grommet for insertion in a hole in a panel comprising: a soft grommet body, including a supporting portion, arranged such that an electric wire insertion hole is formed in an inner peripheral portion of a hollow disc-like base at one end of said soft grommet body, a peripheral wall crookedly formed along an outer periphery of said hollow disc-like base, and a tip portion of said peripheral wall being futher bent inwards to provide said supporting portion; a hard resinous lock member comprising a base plate to be engaged with a recess defined by said hollow disc-like base, said peripheral wall, and said supporting portion, said base plate including a circumferential wall integrally formed with said base plate, an inward peripheral edge directed centrally, and stop members formed in said circumferential wall to be locked to said hole formed in said panel, wherein said resinous lock member is provided with a wire fixture portion extending downwardly and formed integrally with said peripheral edge portion, wherein the diameter of said wire fixture portion is gradually decreased to a distal end, said wire fixture portion further comprising a projection at said distal end .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
193 words
A grommet for insertion in a hole in a panel comprising: a soft grommet body, including a supporting portion, arranged such that an electric wire insertion hole is formed in an inner peripheral portion of a hollow disc-like base at one end of said soft grommet body, a peripheral wall crookedly formed along an outer periphery of said hollow disc-like base, and a tip portion of said peripheral wall being futher bent inwards to provide said supporting portion; a hard resinous lock member comprising a base plate to be engaged with a recess defined by said hollow disc-like base, said peripheral wall, and said supporting portion, said base plate including a circumferential wall integrally formed with said base plate, an inward peripheral edge directed centrally, and stop members formed in said circumferential wall to be locked to said hole formed in said panel, wherein said resinous lock member is provided with a wire fixture portion extending downwardly and formed integrally with said peripheral edge portion, wherein the diameter of said wire fixture portion is gradually decreased to a distal end, said wire fixture portion further comprising a projection at said distal end .
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
128 words
A grommet for insertion in a hole in a panel comprising: a soft grommet body, including a supporting portion, arranged such that an electric wire insertion hole is formed in an inner peripheral portion of a hollow disc-like base at one end of said soft grommet body, a peripheral wall crookedly formed along an outer periphery of said hollow disc-like base, and a tip portion of said peripheral wall being further bent inwards to provide said supporting portion; a hard resinous lock member comprising a base plate to be engaged with a recess defined by said hollow disc-like base, said peripheral wall, and said supporting portion, wherein said resinous lock member is provided with a wire fixing portion integrally formed with said base plate through a hinge portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
128 words
A grommet for insertion in a hole in a panel comprising: a soft grommet body, including a supporting portion, arranged such that an electric wire insertion hole is formed in an inner peripheral portion of a hollow disc-like base at one end of said soft grommet body, a peripheral wall crookedly formed along an outer periphery of said hollow disc-like base, and a tip portion of said peripheral wall being further bent inwards to provide said supporting portion; a hard resinous lock member comprising a base plate to be engaged with a recess defined by said hollow disc-like base, said peripheral wall, and said supporting portion, wherein said resinous lock member is provided with a wire fixing portion integrally formed with said base plate through a hinge portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A grommet as claimed in claim 2, wherein said wire fixing portion is in the form of a planar member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
A grommet as claimed in claim 2, wherein said hard resinous lock member is divided into two halves.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
