Abstract
Provided is a wire harness that can realize a simplified mold structure and reduce costs. A wire harness includes: a tubular member that is flexible and into which an electrical wire is inserted; and a path regulation member that regulates a routing path of the electrical wire. The path regulation member includes bent portions. The bent portions are formed by bending the path regulation members, and thus the routing path of the electrical wire can be regulated.
Claims9
A wire harness comprising:
- an electrical wire;
- a plurality of metal path regulation members that cover the electrical wire and regulate a routing path of the electrical wire;
- and
- a tubular member that covers the electrical wire and has flexibility, wherein:
- the plurality of metal path regulation members are provided along a lengthwise direction of the electrical wire and the plurality of metal path regulation members are spaced from each other,
- the tubular member penetrates the plurality of metal path regulation members,
- at least one metal path regulation member of the plurality of metal path regulation members has a bent section, and
- the plurality of metal path regulation members are all tubular, and an opening for extending the electrical wire to an outside of each of the plurality of metal path regulation members is provided only at a tip of each of the plurality of metal path regulation members in a lengthwise direction of the plurality of metal path regulation members.
