Abstract
The present invention provides a wiring harness having a flexible tube body being an exterior component of a conducting path, and a manufacturing method thereof. The wiring harness has a conducting path assembly including a conducting path and a flexible tube body being an exterior component of the conducting path assembly. The tube body has a water or light hardening fixing member. When the water or light hardening fixing member is hardened, a shape holding portion is formed. The wiring harness is held by the shape holding portion of the tube body with a desired shape.
Claims12
A wiring harness comprising:
- a flexible tube body being an exterior component of one or a plurality of conducting paths;
- and
- a water hardening fixing member including a hardened portion hardened with water and a base material integrating the hardened portion or a light hardening fixing member including a hardened portion hardened with light and a base material integrating the hardened portion provided on one or a plurality of predefined positions of the tube body,
- wherein a shape holding portion of the tube body is formed by hardening the water or light hardening fixing member.
A manufacturing method of a wiring harness having a flexible tube body which is an exterior component of one or a plurality of conducting paths comprising the steps of:
- a first step that providing a water hardening fixing member including a hardened portion hardened with water and a base material integrating the hardened portion or a light hardening fixing member including a hardened portion hardened with light and a base material integrating the hardened portion on one or a plurality of predefined portions of the tube body, and
- a second step that hardening the water or light hardening fixing member so as to form at least the predefined portions with a desired shape.
