Protective member for wire harness, and branching structure of wire harness

A protective member for a wire harness having a branching point between a trunk harness and a branch harness, the protective member consisting only of:

• a protective sheet portion formed into a rectangular shape and to be wound around an outer circumference of at least the trunk harness near the branching point, the protective sheet portion comprising:
• a first base member;
• and
• a second base member stacked on the first base member on a region of the protective sheet portion;
• and
• a pair of band-shaped fixing strip portions extending from two parts on the protective sheet portion and to be wound around the trunk harness at the two parts on the protective sheet portion, the branching point being between the two parts, wherein
• the two parts positioned at both ends of the protective sheet portion in a direction in which the trunk harness extends,
• the pair of band-shaped fixing strip portions are smaller in thickness than the two parts of the protective sheet portion, and
• one of the pair of band-shaped fixing strip portions extends from the protective sheet portion only in a first direction perpendicular to the direction in which the trunk harness extends and another of the pair of band-shaped fixing strip portions extends from the protective sheet portion only in a second direction perpendicular to the direction in which the trunk harness extends, the second direction being an opposite direction to the first direction,
• wherein the pair of band-shaped fixing strip portions extend from the first base member and the second base member of the protective sheet portion.
