## Abstract

A body side unit is configured to attach a wire harness wired between a vehicle body and a slide door to the vehicle body. In the body side unit, a rotary inner is attached to the wire harness. A protector supports the rotary inner rotatably and movably in an up-down direction, and is fixed to the vehicle body. A coil spring is provided between the rotary inner and the protector, and biases the rotary inner such that the rotary inner faces downward in the up-down direction.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A body side unit configured to attach a wire harness wired between a vehicle body and a slide door to the vehicle body, the body side unit comprising:
a body side attachment portion that is attached to the wire harness;
a body side fixing portion that supports the body side attachment portion rotatably and movably in an up-down direction, and that is fixed to the vehicle body; and
a biasing member that is provided between the body side attachment portion and the body side fixing portion, and that biases the body side attachment portion such that the body side attachment portion faces downward in the up-down direction.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The body side unit according to claim 1, wherein
the biasing member is formed of a coil spring, and
the body side fixing portion is provided with a groove portion into which the coil spring is screwed.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The body side unit according to claim 1, wherein
the biasing member is formed of the coil spring,
an outer shape of the body side attachment portion is a sphere, and
a tip end of the coil spring is in contact with a surface of the sphere.

### Claim 4

A wiring structure of a wire harness comprising:
a wire harness;
a body side unit that is configured to attach the wire harness to a vehicle body; and
a door side unit that is configured to attach the wire harness to a slide door,
wherein the body side unit includes:
a body side attachment portion to be attached to the wire harness;
a body side fixing portion rotatably supporting the body side attachment portion and fixed to the vehicle body; and
a biasing member provided between the body side attachment portion and the body side fixing portion and configured to bias the body side attachment portion such that the body side attachment portion faces downward in an up-down direction.
