Abstract

A electric power supplying device includes a protector for receiving a wire harness curved in a loop, a first harness guide disposed opposite to a slack of the wire harness in the protector, and an outlet arranged nearer the slack of the wire harness than the first harness guide. The harness guide is curved in the loop from the first harness guide, and the loop is led outward from the outlet. Further, a second harness guide is provided movably in a radial direction of the loop, arranged nearer the harness slack than the first harness guide. An energizing means forces the second harness guide in a direction increasing a diameter of the loop. At least one of the first and second harness guides is a rotatable guide roller. The second harness guide is movable along an elongated guiding member formed on the protector.

Claims (14)

1. An electric power supplying device comprising:

a protector for receiving a wire harness curved in a loop;

the protector having a vertical substrate and peripheral walls;

a first harness guide provided on the vertical substrate opposite to a harness slack of the wire harness in the protector;

a second harness guide provided on the vertical substrate:

an energizing means provided on said second harness guide: and

a harness outlet in the vertical substrate provided closer to the harness slack than the first harness guide; wherein

said first harness guide is adjacent to and above the harness outlet, and one side of the loop of the wire harness abuts on the first harness guide and is led out from the harness outlet;

said second harness guide is provided movably in a radial direction of the loop of the wire harness, and closer to the harness slack than the first harness guide; and

said energizing means forces the second harness guide in a direction to increase a diameter of the loop of the wire harness.

2. The electric power supplying device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of said first and second harness guides is a rotatable guide roller.

3. The electric power supplying device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said second harness guide is movable along an elongated guiding part formed on the protector.

4. The electric power supplying device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first harness guide is located around a top of the loop of the wire harness.

5. The electric power supplying device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said harness outlet communicates with a back side of the protector.
