an attaching portion that is formed in a cylindrical shape configured to fit and lock into the shielding pipe, the attaching portion comprising a main portion and at least one flexible locking portion disposed on the main portion, the main portion and the at least one flexible locking portion having substantially the same length in an axial direction of the holder; and a covering portion that protects outward in a radial direction from an open end of the attaching portion in a flange shape and that is configured to cover an edge of the shielding pipe, wherein the holder is configured to attach to the shielding pipe into which the electric wires are inserted and from which the terminal fittings and a portion of the electric wires are drawn out to an outside of the shielding pipe, the holding piece is displaced from the at least one flexible locking portion by about 90°, and the covering portion is formed in a region other than a region where the at least one flexible locking portion is disposed on the main portion. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electric wire holder according to claim 1, wherein the holding piece extends in a direction in which the electric wires are drawn out, and is configured to be wound with a tape together with the electric wires, the holding piece being formed such that a root side of the holding piece is thicker than a front end side of the holding piece. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The holder according to claim 2, wherein the holding piece comprises a projecting portion for preventing the tape from being displaced, the projection portion being formed on at least one end portion, with respect to a longitudinal direction, of the holding piece. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The holder according to claim 2, wherein the holding piece comprises an outer surface configured to prevent a displacement of the tape in a longitudinal direction. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The holder according to claim 4, wherein the outer surface slopes up toward one end side. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The electric wire holder according to claim 1, wherein the holding piece is disposed at a position displaced from a position where the attaching portion is locked into the shielding pipe in a circumferential direction. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The holder according to claim 1, further comprising a second holding piece. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The holder according to claim 7, wherein the first holding piece and second holding piece are disposed in positions directly facing one another. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The holder according to claim 1, further comprising an expanding slot formed by cutting the main portion at one position in the axial direction. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The holder according to claim 9, wherein the expanding slot is displaced from the at least one flexible locking portion by about 90°. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The holder according to claim 1, wherein the at least one flexible locking portion comprises a locking piece configured to lock into a mounting hole disposed in the shielding pipe. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The holder according to claim 1, wherein the at least one flexible locking portion has a cantilever shape formed by slits cut on both sides of the flexible locking portion in the axial direction. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The holder according to claim 1, wherein the at least one flexible locking portion includes two flexible locking portions disposed in a mutually opposed circumferential direction of the holder.
