A protector includes a protector body which has a receiving portion for receiving at least one wire. A groove is formed on a bottom face of the receiving portion. The groove has a width smaller than a diameter of the wire.
1. A protector, comprising:
a protector body, which has a receiving portion for receiving at least one wire,
wherein a groove is formed on a bottom face of the receiving portion;
wherein the groove has a width smaller than a diameter of the wire,
wherein a linear contact portion on which the wire is placed is formed on the bottom face; and
wherein the linear contact portion linearly contacts the wire.
2. The protector as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the protector body is comprised of a metal material.
3. The protector as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the linear contact portions has a curbed shape.
4. The protector as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the at least one wire is a plurality of wires which are bundled together to form a wire harness; and
wherein the wires are received in the receiving portion of the protector body.
5. The protector as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a cover which is attached to the protector body,
wherein the cover is comprised of a metal material.
6. The protector as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the protector body has a first slide portion;
wherein the cover has a second slide portion which is situated so as to correspond to the first slide portion; and
wherein when the cover is attached to the protector body, the cover is slidably movable to the protector body through the first and second slide portions.
7. The protector as set forth in claim 6 , wherein the first slide portion has a convex portion, and extends in a longitudinal direction of the protector body; and
wherein the second slide portion has a concave portion, and extends in a longitudinal direction of the cover.
8. The protector as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the groove extends in a longitudinal direction of the protector body.
9. The protector as set forth in claim 1 , wherein an external face of the protector body corresponding to the bottom face of the receiving portion has a corrugated shape.
10. A protector, comprising:
a protector body, which has a receiving portion for receiving at least one wire, the protector having a first slide portion; and
a metallic cover which is attached to the protector body, the cover having a second slide portion situated to correspond to the first slide portion,
wherein a groove is formed on a bottom face of the receiving portion, the groove having a width smaller than a diameter of the wire, and
wherein when the cover is attached to the protector body, the cover is slidably movable with respect to the protector body through the first and second slide portions.
11. The protector as set forth in claim 10 , wherein the first slide portion has a convex portion, and extends in a longitudinal direction of the protector body; and
wherein the second slide portion has a concave portion, and extends in a longitudinal direction of the cover.
