Electricity feeding device for vehicular slide doors

An electricity feeding device of a vehicle having a vehicle body and a slide door slidably mounted on a lateral side of the vehicle body, comprising:

• at least one wire providing an electrical connection between components in the slide door and the vehicle body, said wire being insulated;
• and
• a belt on which the insulated wire is supported, said belt including a curved portion that is curved with respect to a longitudinal extent of the belt, the belt having an outer side extending along the longitudinal extent of the belt, the outer side of the belt, in the curved portion, facing outwardly with respect to the curved portion, at least a portion of the outer side of the belt having a concave surface.

A vehicle slide door apparatus comprising:

• a slide door mounted on a lateral side of a vehicle body for movement in a lengthwise direction of the vehicle body between an open position and a closed position;
• and
• an electricity feeding device for establishing an electrical connection between a component on the slide door and a component on the vehicle body, a portion of said electricity feeding device being curved with respect to a longitudinal extent of the electricity feeding device to define a substantially U-shaped portion of the electricity feeding device, said electricity feeding device having an outer side which, in the substantially U-shaped portion, faces outwardly of the substantially U-shaped portion, said electricity feeding device including at least one wire covered by an insulation and a supporting member on which the wire covered by the insulation is supported, said wire extending between the component on the slide door and the component on the vehicle body to provide said electrical connection, at least a portion of said supporting member having a curved configuration as seen in a vertical cross-section defining a concave surface of the supporting member the concave surface of the supporting member facing towards the outer side of the electricity feeding device.
