Wire harness conduit and tube bundle

A carrier for at least one tube and a flexible wire harness of a vehicle comprising:

• an elongate inner channel having in cross section a generally C-shape configuration with a central portion interconnecting a pair of legs terminating in spaced apart free edges forming a longitudinally extending raceway therein opening transversely to the exterior thereof and constructed and arranged to receive through its opening and in the raceway a portion of a flexible wire harness extending longitudinally therein,
• an elongate outer channel having in cross section a generally C-shape configuration with a central portion interconnecting a pair of legs terminating in spaced apart free edges forming a complementary raceway extending longitudinally therein, opening transversely to the exterior thereof, and constructed and arranged to receive through its opening and in its raceway a complementary portion of said legs of said inner channel so that in assembly said channels collectively encircle and enclose a portion of the wire harness, each of said channels subtends more than a semicircle and is at least somewhat resilient and in assembly said legs of said inner channel underlap and snap into complementarily engagement with said legs of said outer channel, and
• at least one tube retainer clip on the exterior of and carried by said inner channel on the central portion thereof, said clip being at least somewhat resilient, extending longitudinally of said inner channel, having therein a longitudinally extending raceway opening transversely to the exterior thereof and in cross section subtends more than a semicircle and is constructed and arranged to releasably receive and retain a tube of a vehicle, and when said channels are in assembly said retainer clip is received between said free edges of said legs of said outer channel and projects outwardly thereof.
