1. A grommet comprising:
an annular engagement body disposed in a through hole through which a wiring material is passed between a first space and a second space, the engagement body on which an annular engagement groove is disposed to be fitted to a peripheral part of the through hole from an inner diameter side;
a first cylindrical body that is formed in a bellows-like cylindrical shape having a smaller diameter than that of the engagement body, and disposed coaxially with an axis of the engagement body in the first space, the first cylindrical body through which the wiring material is inserted;
a second cylindrical body that is formed in a cylindrical shape having a smaller diameter than that of the engagement body, and disposed coaxially with the axis in the second space, the second cylindrical body through which the wiring material is inserted;
a first partition wall having an annular shape that closes an annular opening between an annular end part on the first space side of the engagement body and one annular end part of the first cylindrical body;
a second partition wall having an annular shape that closes an annular opening between an annular end part on the second space side of the engagement body and one annular end part of the second cylindrical body;
a holding part that is projected from the other annular end part of the second cylindrical body, and fixed by tape together with the wiring material drawn out from the other annular end part of the second cylindrical body; and
a pair of projection parts that are projected from an inner wall of the first partition wall toward the second partition wall, and disposed to be opposed to each other across an axis of the first partition wall, wherein
the first cylindrical body and the first partition wall are deformed while relatively moving with respect to the engagement body in a pulling direction in a loaded state in which the wiring material is pulled along the axis together with the holding part and the second cylindrical body in the second space,
the projection part is disposed so that an end part on the second partition wall side is disposed, with a gap on an inner side in a radial direction, to be opposed to an annular inner peripheral surface on an inner side in the radial direction with respect to a groove bottom of the engagement groove in the engagement body in a no-load state in which the wiring material is not pulled, and causes pressing force to act on the inner peripheral surface of the engagement body from the end part on the second partition wall side due to displacement caused by deformation from an inner peripheral part side of the first partition wall in the loaded state, and
the first cylindrical body causes assisting force for enhancing the pressing force of the projection part to act on an external wall of the first partition wall in the loaded state.
