## Abstract

A wiring member includes: a wire-like transmission member including a transmission wire body and a covering for covering the transmission wire body; a sheet material to which the wire-like transmission member is fixed; and a cover formed of a material different from a material of the covering, covering the wire-like transmission member from a side opposite to the sheet material, and fixed to the sheet material, wherein the sheet material includes a first fixing part to which the covering is directly fixed and a second fixing part which is directly fixed to the cover more easily than the first fixing part and to which the cover is directly fixed.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A wiring member, comprising:
a wire-like transmission member including a transmission wire body and a covering for covering the transmission wire body;
a sheet material to which the wire-like transmission member is fixed; and
a cover formed of a material different from a material of the covering, covering the wire-like transmission member from a side opposite to the sheet material, and fixed to the sheet material, wherein
the sheet material includes a first fixing part to which the covering is directly fixed and a second fixing part which is more appropriate for a direct fixation to the cover than the first fixing part and to which the cover is directly fixed, and
the first fixing part and the second fixing part include a resin material, and the resin material in the first fixing part is configured to directly fix to the covering and the resin material in the second fixing part is configured to directly fix to the cover without an adhesive agent.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wiring member according to claim 1, wherein
a space is formed in the second fixing part, and
the cover is directly fixed to fill at least a part of the space.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The wiring member according to claim 1, wherein
the wire-like transmission member is directly fixed to the first fixing part provided on one main surface of the sheet material, and
the cover is directly fixed to the second fixing part provided on one main surface of the sheet material.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The wiring member according to claim 3, wherein
the second fixing part of the one main surface partially overlaps with the first fixing part.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The wiring member according to claim 3, wherein
the first fixing part of the one main surface partially overlaps with the second fixing part.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The wiring member according to claim 3, wherein
the sheet material includes a layered part in which a first layer constituting the first fixing part and a second layer constituting the second fixing part are stacked in layers, and a part of the layered part is folded back to a side of one main surface of the layered part to form the one main surface of the sheet material.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The wiring member according to claim 1, wherein
the covering is directly fixed to the first fixing part provided on one main surface of the sheet material, and
the cover includes a body part covering the wire-like transmission member from a side opposite to the sheet material on a side of the one main surface and a fixation part extending from an edge portion of the body part toward another main surface of the sheet material to be directly fixed to the second fixing part provided on the another main surface.

### Claim 8

A wiring member, comprising:
a wire-like transmission member including a transmission wire body and a covering for covering the transmission wire body;
a sheet material to which the wire-like transmission member is fixed; and
a cover formed of a material different from a material of the covering, covering the wire-like transmission member from a side opposite to the sheet material, and fixed to the sheet material, wherein
the sheet material includes a first fixing part to which the covering is directly fixed and a second fixing part which is more appropriate for a direct fixation to the cover than the first fixing part and to which the cover is directly fixed,
a space is formed in the second fixing part, and
the cover is directly fixed to fill at least a part of the space.
