## Abstract

A wire harness fixture includes a base having a clip projecting therefrom; a winding band extending and winding around a wire harness from a first end portion of two end portions of the base; and a plurality of engagement portions on a surface of the winding band. The base has a first band insertion hole passing through the two end portions of the base in a direction orthogonal to a projecting direction of the clip, the first band insertion hole having a first engagement projection engaging with the engagement portions of the winding band. The clip and the base have a second band insertion hole passing therethrough in the projecting direction of the clip, the second band insertion hole having a second engagement projection engaging with the engagement portions of the winding band.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A wire harness fixture comprising:
a base having a clip projecting therefrom;
a winding band extending and winding around a wire harness from a first end portion of two end portions of the base, which are positioned on two sides with the clip therebetween;
a plurality of engagement portions provided in parallel in an extending direction to a surface of the winding band;
a first band insertion hole passing through the base from the first end portion to a second end portion of the two end portions of the base in a direction orthogonal to a projecting direction of the clip, the first band insertion hole having a first engagement projection configured to engage with the engagement portions of the winding band; and
a second band insertion hole passing through the clip and the base in the projecting direction of the clip, the second band insertion hole having a second engagement projection configured to engage with the engagement portions of the winding band.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wire harness fixture according to claim 1, wherein a fore end portion of the winding band is inserted through the second band insertion hole from an opening in the base and the fore end portion of the winding band projects outside an opening in the clip.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A method of producing a wire harness with a fixture having the wire harness fixture according to claim 1 attached thereto, the method comprising:
setting the wire harness fixture on a jig closing an opening of one of the first band insertion hole and the second band insertion hole; and
fastening and fixating the wire harness fixture to the wire harness by placing the wire harness on the wire harness fixture, winding the winding band around the wire harness, and inserting the winding band through the other of the first band insertion hole and the second band insertion hole.
