Slidable-contact portions 10, 24 of a fixing tool 1 are engaged with the concave grooves 11 of a corrugated tube 2 which is circular in section so that the corrugated tube is supported rotatably in its circumferential direction by the fixing tool 1. Where the corrugate tube is oval in section, it is fixed inside a rotating member 33 with a circular outer periphery, and the rotating member is held rotatably in its circumferential direction inside a body of the fixing tool 1. The rotating member may be moved along a cam groove, or may hold the corrugated tube in a state decentered in an oblique direction. The fixing tool 1 is composed of a receiving part 3 and covering part 2 which have slidable-contact supporting portions 10, 24 to be engaged with the concave grooves 11 of the corrugated tube 2. The receiving part 3 and the covering part 4 may be provided with curved walls which serve to rectify the corrugated tube in its curved state, thereby preventing the corrugated tube and internal electric wires from being buckled. In this configuration, when a wire harness with a corrugated tube is flexed along a vehicle body, its twisting, buckling or damaging can be prevented.
A fixing structure for a corrugated tube which is fixed to a mounting side of a vehicle body by a fixing tool, said corrugated tube being circular in section and having circumferential concave grooves and convex strips arranged alternately in its longitudinal direction, said corrugated tube and a plurality of electric wires passed through said corrugated tube constituting the wire harness, wherein said fixing tool includes slidable supporting portions which are slidably engaged with the concave grooves of said corrugated tube so that said corrugated tube is supported rotatably in a circumferential direction by said slidable supporting portions.
A fixing structure for a corrugated tube which is fixed on a mounting side of a vehicle body by a fixing tool, said corrugated tube being circular in section and having circumferential concave grooves and convex strips arranged alternately in its longitudinal direction, said corrugated tube and a plurality of electric wires passing through said corrugated tube constituting a wire harness, wherein said fixing tool includes a rotating member having a circular outer periphery for said corrugated tube in its inside, and rotating member is held rotatably in a circumferential direction within a body of said fixing tool.
A fixing tool for a corrugated tube to a mounting side of a vehicle body, said corrugated tube being circular in section and having circumferential concave grooves and convex strips arranged alternately in its longitudinal direction, wherein said fixing tool includes a receiving part and a covering part for holding rotatably said corrugated tube in its circumferential direction, and said receiving part and said covering part have slidable-contact supporting portions to be slidably engaged with said concave grooves.
A fixing tool for a corrugated tube to a mounting side of a vehicle body, said corrugated tube being circular or oval in section and having circumferential concave grooves and convex strips arranged alternately in a longitudinal direction of the corrugated tube, wherein said fixing tool includes a rotating member for fixing said corrugate tube in its inside and a receiving part and a covering part for rotatably holding said rotating member in a circumferential direction.
