Abstract
A conductive path (1) used in a wire harness includes a conductor (2) and an insulator (3). The conductive path (1) includes parts corresponding to route restriction sections (A, B) where route restriction is required, and parts corresponding to sections other than the route restriction sections (A, B), that is, different sections (C, D, E). The insulator (3) includes an extrusion-molded insulator main body (4) and multiple thick parts (6) post-attached to an outer surface (5) of the insulator main body (4). The thick parts (6) are disposed and formed at positions corresponding to the route restriction sections (A, B).
Claims8
A wire harness comprising:
- a conductive path including:
- a conductor extending in an extending direction;
- and
- a sheath that covers the conductor,
- wherein the sheath includes a pre-formed bendable sheath main body and multiple thick parts post-attached to an outer surface of the pre-formed bendable sheath main body along a peripheral direction, the multiple thick parts being spaced apart from one another in the peripheral direction of the sheath with portions of the sheath main body being exposed between the multiple thick parts, the peripheral direction being perpendicular to the extending direction, and
- wherein a part of the sheath with the thick parts post-attached thereto is formed as a rigid part of the conductive path.
A wire harness comprising:
- a conductive path including:
- a conductor extending in a extending direction;
- and
- a sheath covering the conductor, wherein the sheath includes:
- a pre-formed bendable sheath main body;
- and
- a plurality of thick portions disposed on the pre-formed bendable sheath main body in a peripheral direction, the thick portions extending farther away from the conductor than the sheath main body, the peripheral direction being perpendicular to the extending direction,
- wherein at least two thick portions of the plurality of thick portions are spaced apart from one another in the peripheral direction of the sheath with portions of the sheath main body being exposed between the at least two thick portions.
