Wire harness protector assembly

U.S. Patent Number: 5332866

Abstract: A harness protector assembly can accommodate a desired length of a wire harness to protect it. The harness protector assembly is assembled by two or more protectors and a connector or connectors. Each of the protectors has a bottom plate and a pair of opposed side walls extending upwards from respective sides of the bottom plate, and a projection is formed on an outer surface of each side wall in the proximity of one end thereof. The connector has an upper plate and two pairs of opposed tabs extending downwards from the upper plate. A through-hole is formed in each tab for engagement with the projection formed on each side wall of each protector. The connector also has a thin-wall portion substantially at the center thereof so as to be susceptible to bending. The harness protector assembly can be bent about the thin-wall portion of the connector at a desired angle.
