## Abstract

A wire harness fixing member that can easily accommodate dimensional error of a fixing target portion of a vehicle body is provided. A bracket (10), which is one aspect of the wire harness fixing member, includes a first fixing portion (16), a second fixing portion (23), and a rotation member (12) that is rotatably provided, and the second fixing portion (23) is provided on the rotation member (12). A rotation axis (L1) of the rotation member (12) is set so as to be orthogonal to an assembling direction (X axis direction) of the second fixing portion (23) and the height direction (Z axis direction) of the bracket (10). The distance between the second fixing portion (23) and the first fixing portion (16) changes as the rotation member (12) rotates about the rotation axis (L1).

## Claims

### Claim 1

A wire harness fixing member comprising:
a first fixing portion configured to be fixed to a first fixing target portion of a vehicle body;
a second fixing portion configured to be fixed to a second fixing target portion of the vehicle body;
a body portion having a support portion configured to support the wire harness; and
a rotation member rotatably provided in the body portion,
wherein the first fixing portion is provided so as to not be capable of moving relative to the body portion,
the second fixing portion is provided on the rotation member,
the distance between the second fixing portion and the first fixing portion changes as the rotation member rotates
the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are provided in a region on one widthwise side of a center line in a width direction of the body portion, and
a rotation axis of the rotation member is provided in a region on another widthwise side of the center line.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wire harness fixing member according to claim 1,
wherein the rotation member includes a shaft portion that has a circular cross-section and forms the rotation axis, and
the shaft portion comes into contact with an outer wall that constitutes one widthwise side face of the body portion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The wire harness fixing member according to claim 1,
wherein the second fixing target portion is a hole, and
the second fixing portion is provided projecting from the body portion so as to be able to be inserted into the second fixing target portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The wire harness fixing member according to claim 1,
wherein the body portion includes a rotation member housing portion configured to house the rotation member, and a lid configured to cover an opening of the rotation member housing portion.
