For example, the sheet material is considered to be made by combining a plurality of base materials to be processed to extend to regions different from each other. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wiring member, comprising: a sheet material made by folding one base material or combining a plurality of base materials and processing the one base material or the plurality of base materials to extend to regions different from each other; and a wire-like transmission member fixed on the sheet material, wherein the wire-like transmission member includes a transmission wire body and a covering for covering the transmission wire body, and is fixed to only the sheet material covering one side of the wire-like transmission member by a contact area fixation, and the wire-like transmission member is fixed to each of portions, the portions extend to regions different from each other and formed by folding one base material or combining a plurality of base materials, and the wire-like transmission member is disposed on one main surface of the sheet material from one end to another end of the sheet material. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wiring member according to claim 1, wherein the sheet material includes a portion where a plurality of base materials are combined to extend to regions different from each other. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The wiring member according to claim 1, wherein the sheet material includes a portion where one base material is folded to extend to regions different from each other. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The wiring member according to claim 1, wherein the sheet material includes a first extension part and a second extension part formed by folding one base material or combining a plurality of base materials to be formed to extend in directions intersecting with each other. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The wiring member according to claim 4, wherein the base material constituting each of the first extension part and the second extension part is formed to have directionality in a tensile strength, and the wire-like transmission member is disposed on the first extension part and the second extension part to extend along a direction in which the tensile strength of the base material is strong. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The wiring member according to claim 5, wherein a fixing member for fixing the wiring member to a fixing target is provided in a portion where the base material of the first extension part and the base material of the second extension part are overlapped with each other. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The wiring member according to claim 4, wherein the wire-like transmission member includes a wire-like transmission member with a bent part bent and disposed to range from the first extension part to the second extension part. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The wiring member according to claim 4, wherein the wire-like transmission member includes a first wire-like transmission member extending along the first extension part and a second wire-like transmission member extending along the second extension part to intersect with the first wire-like transmission member. ### Claim 9 (depends on 2) The wiring member according to claim 2, wherein the plurality of base materials are combined in a portion linearly extending in the sheet material. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The wiring member according to claim 1, wherein a portion where the base materials are combined is fixed. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The wiring member according to claim 10, wherein there is a portion where a fixing state of a portion in which the base materials are combined and a fixing state of fixing the sheet material to the wire-like transmission member are identical with each other. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The wiring member according to claim 11, wherein the base materials are fixed in a portion overlapped with each other by a contact area direct fixation, and the sheet material and the wire-like transmission member are fixed to each other by a contact area direct fixation at a position identical with a position of the portion. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The wiring member according to claim 10, wherein there is a portion where a fixing state of a portion in which the base materials are combined and a fixing state of fixing the sheet material to the wire-like transmission member are different from each other. ### Claim 14 A method of manufacturing a wiring member, comprising: folding one base material or combining a plurality of base materials to form a sheet material processed to extend to regions different from each other; locating the wire-like transmission member on the sheet material; and fixing the sheet material and the wire-like transmission member wherein the locating and the fixing the sheet material and the wire-like transmission member are performed after the folding, and the wire-like transmission member is disposed on one main surface of the sheet material from one end to another end of the sheet material, and is fixed to only the sheet material covering one side of the wire-like transmission member by a contact area fixation. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of manufacturing the wiring member according to claim 14, further comprising: fixing a portion where the base materials are overlapped with each other, wherein the fixing the sheet material and the wire-like transmission member and the fixing the portion are performed by an identical fixing means in the portion where the base materials are overlapped with each other.
